Hi! Having a lot of questions is a good sign, but yes let's take it step by step! c: I think if you struggle with creating dynamic shapes , movement & bodies in perspective, start small. The drawover I did is not extremely dynamic yet, but there is a variation in direction. Get comfortable drawing these simplified forms and try to start moving them around! Hope it helps c:
When I said I didn't want to change the drawing, I meant the pose. And yeah, idk how you can remove the drawing from the "monthly challenge"
I reworked the form and added more lines because your art was lost in the darkness and there's not a clear separation of form. I added a light direction from above to give it more dimension and drama. I blurred the foreground (the fish and sea weed to give it less attention). I added additional darkness then added light to the art to balance everything out. Also note; blue tends to make things dark. Lastly, I added bubbles and the other white lines which I've forgotten the official name near the face to bring attention to it. Also, I darkened the tail a bit to remove attention from it. I decided note to change your actual drawing because I don't like to and also it would get complicated for me bcus I'll have to rework it. Hope it helps.

June Sketchbook Challenge Day 2
Here's day two of my sketchbook challenge. I definitely wasn't as in much of a mood to draw as yesterday, but I'm happy with what came out! I have a lot of fun sketching quick vehicles, but I have no deep knowledge or understanding of how vehicles work so I make it all up right now. I think I twisted the characters body strangely while trying to point the pelvis in a different direction from the torso. I struggle with the perspective of the hip as a simple shape when drawing in different angles. One of my bigger weaknesses is my line quality. I'm working on breaking my habit of placing lines too fast before considering what the line will look like.

Day 2
checkmate im aussie
This isn't for the june challenge or anything, but i drew these two chess-inspired characters. Since they're based around the knight piece, i wanted there to be a visual motif of three. Three individual shapes found in the nose steam, three splits in the knight's hair thingy, three segments in the handle, you get the point. I just feel like i could've done much more with this concept, or like it's too subtle. Any suggestions? Please let me know!

Hi everyone, I am participating in the June 30 challenge to help me build a habit, become more comfortable with sharing my work, and receive feedback! I've never really taken myself seriously as an artist, and I've always doubted myself, and that is why I am here.

Sketch 01 - The Dragons
Hey! I had a lot of fun making this sketch and I'm looking forward to putting in another entry soon! My biggest challenges were controlling the line weight with the brush pen and smudging the ink likely due to my current brush pen. This is my first upload to the site and would love some feedback! Thank you!
