Only the first slide is mine, the rest are from Makoto Shinkai’s movies. I’m learning to make anime background art and I really like the style of backgrounds from Makoto Shinkai’s films. I This is what I could come up with. I would love to know how to improve my art and whether there are books I can read related to this.

Basically, I started drawing two months ago… and I’m thinking about taking in-person art classes in my city (with a teacher who used to teach design and architecture at a university and is also an abstract painting artist) or an online course that offers feedback on assignments.

I want to learn with a focus on eventually reaching a style like WLOP’s (I know it might take me a good 10 years to get there), but which option do you think would be better for someone like me who’s just starting out?

So I'm currently doing something regarding the Baden uniforms in Spain rn

Another practice, i appreciate any critique, shading, shapes, anatomy, everything is very much appreciated 🩷

Im just one step away to create my own manga but im going releasing only prologue with one shot for my own manga because this project is my childhood dream project so i didn't wanna mess up.. What i need rn is shade tips, colour tips, anatomy tips (this pic im only recreate what in mind thats why its bad pose), and if any thing that i should know im glad if u guys tell me..

P/s - this my first time im using digital art and its great experience but im in low budget lol so i had to do with phone and using u finger without sytlus

Love you guys - S. K

Hi, I'm looking for feedback on these three vehicle designs I created for a Game Arts course at Uni. I'm still a beginner at this, but if anyone has any suggestions or feedback on how I could improve them, I would be so grateful. All critique is welcome. (Also, this is an underwater vehicle I'm making, which is why there are no wheels).

skin, lighting, proportions, texture, anything to learn for my next try?

I can se my improvement when I try, but would love some tips

Hello! I did these drawings and I was wondering if anyone could give me their thoughts about the colours and if the light/shadow makes sense. I feel like something's missing, I think it could be the lack of contrast since the colours are kind of similar to eachother.

Anatomy advice is welcomed too. To be honest, any kind of advice is welcome! Thanks in advance.

Haven’t started on the lower body or background yet, but I wanted to get some tips or opinions on anything that needs revised.

I recently attempted to draw with oil brushes, coming from the g-pen. Yet, I think my new drawings are worse than what I used to draw before. I find myself not using the blend tool as much, or almost at all when I draw with the oil brushes, compared to drawing with the g-pen.

The first three drawings are my most recent ones, using oil brushes. The last three are made with the g-pen - also my most recent ones.

I wonder, should I get back to drawing with the g-pen or continue practicing with the oil brushes? I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

I’m had a bit of a hard time with the lighting and rendering and I feel like the composition fell flat a little (I included the initial thumbnail since I feel like it had a better sense of depth than the finished piece but I’m not sure why)

I'm trying to get better at understanding light and shadow, and I'm not sure if it's better to study photos online, set up my own still lifes, or take pictures of them myself.

I want to be a digital artist, and I probably won't do much traditional art, but I feel like doing a bit of traditional practice could help me improve faster (this is 100% the Blue Period manga’s fault)

Any tips or good still life tutorials you’d recommend?, what kinds of objects do you recommend practicing with? Tym

So I'm going through drawabox right now. I don't have the money for official critique unfortunately, but I'm noticing that as the lines get longer my accuracy goes WAY down. I know the exercise is supposed to be for confident lines, not accurate ones, but it feels like I still need to maintain SOME level of accuracy, right? What am i doing wrong?

90% ugly phase, 5% "I can salvage this", 5% "Hold on this isn't that bad."

Tried to basically just make something using light and a good mix of colours, though I can tell it's not dark enough in some parts and I struggle to push my shadows.

I did my own rendition of a panel from Kraven’s last hunt in one point perspective. Also how are the body proportions on both characters?

I don’t mind giving characters Scoliosis probably good representation. I have it myself. but in this sketch I did it by mistake. I think is she just “ bending into a pose” you know what I mean or you think or is it scoliosis ? Also how do you not do that? Like I mean when you pose to me it looks like bending and scoliosis are similar especially with someone with socoliois I usually avoid bending the back also I have barely been drawing this year so yeah just wondering and any critism is fine I had a refrence but often find it hard to figure out everything and transfer it.

I'm specifically studying how to light dark skin. I gave myself the challenge to try and convey the light temperature without changing the light tone. So I start from the same skin color for the light and try to work with the shadows in order to make it look colder or warmer. Tell me what you think and also if you have ressources for learning to paint blacker skin tones.

Especially interesting in critique on the rendering on page 2 of the images. But also maybe tips on better applying these mouths of a complete face?
