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
Follow this link for a great post by Huisme on asking for critique

I’m working on this drawing and I feel like something’s off. Any constructive criticism is appreciated :)
There's just something wrong with it and I can't put my finger on it. The colors were... so hard to work with I feel like due to my inexperience. Not sure what I want critiqued. I guess all of it? Feel free to nitpick it
Thought you might be interested in watching this one go along from the start and giving me some of your thoughts along the way (let me know if not) I will keep posting updates in the comments 18x24cm - part of my search for huge things to put on tiny canvases.
I put a lotta dots of ink on paper. What do you think?
any criticism is welcome, i just ask that you don’t comment on the hands as i know they’re bad and i’ll fix them when i color this in on my ipad
I’ve been messing with this for quite awhile and I’m not sure what it is but I still feel like something is off with the pose. I’m also looking for advice on shading. He is meant to be standing infront of a mirror with light coming from behind him, how would I be able to demonstrate that?
I was proud when I finished it now i kinda like it, and I kinda don't. Actually the more I look at it I don't really like it
Everyone is doing realistic stuff here so I feel out of place with my cartoony drawing lol
My first post in this sub in close to ten years. Thank you for your time
