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.
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.
Practice, Practice, Practice

Hey guys I can't figure out what's wrong with the anatomy (especially upper body and arms) Every tip is appreciated :)
(Illustrator: me)
Hi everyone this is my first post ever here, I’m an animation major (1st year) so I got tasked with making an autobiographic comic. This is my progress so far, I’d be thankful for some insight and or recommendations, also happy to read what you guys think of this? It’s supposed to be me and my anxiety hanging in front of the TV at 3 am
Thank you all in advance☺️
Practicing art for a few weeks. Need suggestions on how to improve.
Can I ask for help if the proportions are off? angle is wrong? or wrong placement of anything?
Especially the face. I'm worried about the hairline, eye-nose distance and jawline... But I can't quite put my finger on it.
First time drawing in this angle and this complex. I jumped from drawing instagram e-girls to full-body with perspective and armor. Its still on the planning phase.
exception for the hand, its placeholder
Would appreciate any comment, no need to be nice but would really appreciate comments I can work upon :)
*The armor is really dark so I brightened it up just for this post
Any feedback appreciated. Thanks in advance
I have the hardest time with bodies, and I need advice, I tried following tutorials but none helped so I just called it and just did it, I traced the reference to make the dark sketch on the right then traced over that for the finished body in the middle
Also sorry he’s cross eyed. I keep forgetting
I used a custom brush in ibis paint. Idk what type of review to seek so just critique me and give me tips!
I hope this is allowed, i will delete if not.
I’m trying to learn portraiture and i’ve been practicing a lot of sketching and whatnot but im really struggling with colours and how to pick the right ones like with hair and skin tone. I know colour picking directly from the picture when working digitally doesn’t work very well but im struggling to get the right colours.
I was wondering what resources people recommend to learn about using colour and how to colour portraits, learning colour theory and values, shadows and highlights. Essentially looking for tutorials, book or artist recommendations, for both digital and traditional portraiture.
I hope this all makes sense and i’m happy to elaborate if needed. Thank you in advance
with focus on men if possible. Also, I'm fine with videos/websites too,any tutorial.
Hi, I am thinking of trying a new technique.
Acrylic as background and than oil pastels for details, but how can I varnish it (it’s on canvas)?
Anyone familiar with this type of work?
I haven’t drawn in years. This was done maybe 3-4 years ago now. I’m not consistent at all and I somewhat know where I need to improve on. Not sure where to start though. I’m self taught and mostly just draw caricatures of my friends but I would like to get into more intricate details like perspective, anatomy, shading. Any advice where to start first? Some of you guys on here draw like Kim Jung Gi and that’s where I want to get to. Thanks!
How can i draw good hair without ruining the effect of this? Also would love some perspective techniques!
