Subreddit Rules
Please be civil
Do not slander "bad" work, these artists stand to benefit the most from even simple suggestions and critiques
Keep critique focused on technique and craftsmanship
Please refrain from downvoting submissions you do not like. These people are looking for help improving, just like everybody else.
Posted work must be submitted by the artist, or someone close to them, posts to sites discussing art or other artists will be removed
NSFW Artwork is allowed, but must be tagged [NSFW]
Critique Tips
Above all, be honest and forthcoming
Be specific, don't say "I like it!" say, "I like the way you...." and likewise for negative comments
Be Helpful, link to books, tutorials, or offer exercises for the artist
Don't refer to things as "good" or "bad," try to talk in terms of skill sets that can be worked on
A lot of us are visual thinkers, if you have a tablet copy+paste and make some notes
When receiving a critique, don't be too defensive, you can't explain away other peoples opinions of your art, try and listen to what they are saying

My oldest OC! I’m still pretty new to digital art, any tips?
I feel like the detail of her eyes doesn’t match the detail of the rest of the face? But I want to see what y’all think!

The midway slump :/
I was really enjoying this piece. My original plan was to fill the back with various gold things, and I think I’ll still do that. But overall I’m feeling bleh about the piece now and I’m unsure if all the elements look nice together :(
It’s called “the queen’s necklace” and it’s a comment on imperialism’s treatment of women

Doing some digital art studies.
Last time I shared in this group, I know I had issues with anatomy and color theory. Truth be told, I haven't drawn much since then due to work, but lately, I picked up a sketch book to practice drawing every day. Today, I tried to transfee that into my digital illustrations to see if I improved.
Do you think I still need work with color theory? And what about the anatomy? Any other criticisms are welcome.

I'm really struggling here, this is my first time attempting to paint trees from up and I'm having a hard time creating a clear distinction between trees and grass along with a clear light source (supposed to be from the right). Any suggestions?

Been trying to teach myself that I don't need to copy a show's style perfectly to make fanart; My style's good enough. So here we have Velvette! Would love any critique!

Now what
I’m going to outline all of this in blue pen ink, as you can see I’ve already started on the leg armor and it is not as detailed as the sketch. What would you do?
