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.

How can I improve on the following highlighted areas
Hello! I'm learning how to paint digitally and are currently on studying values. I think I somewhat nailed it but I want to improve on the areas highlighted in circle. I want to make it more interesting and more painterly looking. Thank you for anyone that can provide feedback!

2nd original art - Looking for feedback
Earlier this month I posted my first original art, where I didn't copy an existing artwork but used several references for posture, outfits, face, etc...
Here's my second one using the same process.
Looking for feedback to improve. Thanks in advance.

Would appreciate tips and feedback
Hello community!
Long time lurker first time poster here. I am self taught and just enjoy doodling with pen and the swirly details are one of my go to styles.
I think this draft could use some work increasing contrast in the beak, but I'm mostly looking for any tips on how to further develop my doodling style Any things I might practice or try out, anything that would make it more impactful?
Much appreciated!🖤

Master Study
Did a master study of Masashi Kishimoto and I was tired (my hands gave out) so I finished for class as it is. He said it doesn’t have to be a complete art… just you imitating close enough to the artist you are copying. From me understanding I got to work on anatomy, facial structure, and composition.. what do you guys think I need to work on?

I’d like some suggestions/advice on pen and ink shading techniques
Hello there,
I’ve recently begun drawing people and decided to pick up pen and ink as a new medium. However, I’m somewhat struggling to find ways to add shadows and adjust values without my work becoming “sketchy,” if that makes sense.
Tightening the hatch lines would look cleaner but it would push the contrast too far, I think.
Any and all advice is welcome, even for things other than the question.
Thanks! :)
