Eyebrows can immediately change the expression of a character without Changing another feature. Think of a normal eyebrow being relatively flat with the outer edges following the flat sides of the head. For angry, you show them how you have them, pinched down towards the nose and angled upwards. Surprise, they are arched and up further from the eyes… hope this helps. Great character by the way.

I’m practicing trying to sketch anime expressions but the eyebrows never seem to sit properly on the face. they make the character look angry when they arent supposed to. My facial proportions and shape language are off. Using markers, any feedback?

Hi, this is my latest piece. I would love to hear how you would improve it. Maybe the composition or brush work? At least I feel like those are the areas that I struggle with the most.

Intro to perspective one: grind node 9 puzzle

I just finished the last grind node for intro to perspective one. Drawing boxes and cylinders in a scene was rather challenging. I think i did okay, but i feel like some of my boxes and cylinders are off. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

legggyyy octopus

Hello i want to make this piece look very realistic, i think it looks too comic-book like or even cartoony. Maybe it's the lighting or actual design?

not very nice doggo

Designing this character for a future 3D animation. It's an Irish wolf-hound turned evil. I want it to look creepy and also have a good deal of realism in terms of proportions. How can I accomplish that better? Draw overs or comments appreciated.

My Artwork

I'm struggling with perspective, values, light/color

RAF Casual fit

I’d need some feedback on the anatomy of this piece. My character is supposed to be 7½-head in proportions; I tried adjusting it to maintain that ratio, but now the anatomy/pose feels off or unbalanced. I’d appreciate any advice.
