Rules for comments:
Remember the person. We are people from all over the world, of many ages, languages, cultures, and educational backgrounds who all want to improve our art. Sometimes miscommunication happens, just be cool.
Give constructive feedback, including examples of what works or doesn’t work. “I like the use of color” or “the legs are too short” are much more helpful than “I like it” or “I don’t like it.”
Be civil. Jokes at another person’s expense, personal attacks, flaming, derailing threads, name-calling, trolling, and generally being an asshole will get you banned.
Rules for posting:
Include images. Include your own work if you have a specific question so that you get clear feedback. Include reference images if used.
Group multiple drawings into one post. Multiple posts made in a short time period will be removed as spam. Post multiple images as a gallery or as multiple links in one text post.
Keep it on-topic. Extremely long personal posts, questions requiring medical expertise, or anything that cannot be reasonably addressed by art learners about making art will be removed.
Unhelpful tutorials will be removed. This includes videos and pages lacking clear instruction, speedpaints, timelapses, and anything with significant amounts of misinformation.
Spam will be removed, including posts of the same art content across many subreddits without a reasonable attempt at engaging with the /r/learnart community.

Hands
When I tell you guys I wanted to throw hands with these hands. But we’re learning, slowly but surely

Trying to get better at line art and simple cell shading

Not sure what fundamentals I should be focusing on, or direction
Hi, these are my latest six digital pieces I did. I've been working towards improving so that I can better make art for my fantasy world that I like making in my free time, so I'm not trying to get work at a studio or even for commissions. I just want to make the art look better. But I'm not exactly sure what that constitutes - I ignore anatomy in a few areas, like occasionally simplifying the hands. I like how my art looks, but I like my newer art more than my older art, so clearly I'm moving in a direction - I just don't know where I'm going haha. Does this make sense? Sorry if not. The rest of my stuff is on here: https://taming.me/#/gallery

Trying to improve this picture any tips?
I'm trying to have fun with the things I've practiced . This is a WIP and I'm looking for critique with the four arm subject in particular, such as the back making sense anatomically. I already see that I messed up the scaling as they don't seem to stand on the same ground lol. All other criticism are welcome.
Apologies for the hard lines as I struggled with this my hand got stiffer and lines got darker.

Something is bothering me about this, I think it might be the color, blending or value??

Advice please!!
Ignore the second hardly touched girl she hasn’t even been started I’m just mapping out the vision, the second blue girl, how is her pose anatomy? It’s going to be like a dance “esque” thing so the pose won’t exactly be the most natural but it should atleast look decent and the anatomy should be accurate, advice/opinions please!! It’s chalk pastel so it’s super easy to fix at this stage

Begginer artist Tips
I'm by no means an artist, that's more my sister's thing, but I do design a lot of characters for some story ideas I have and I'd like to be able to sketch them out. I just finished drawing this random character to sort of see what all I remember and where my skill level is at. It's definitely not good and I have a few things I specifically want to focus on getting better at but I figure I should ask someone more skilled at art to give me some critiques on what specific aspects need fixing/ what I really need to focus on.
Obviously anatomy is one of them, I suck at drawing bodies so that's definitely something I need to work on and some of the shading is flatter than I'd like. Let me know exactly what you all think.

Work in progress, not sure if I should add color.

Started practicing drawing the body in 3D shapes. Plan to draw it in every angle but before that, I would like to know if there’s anything thats wrong, especially on the last two.
