help with heads - Portraits - Community Driven Art Feedback Platform

Alexander Kutner · 2026-07-27T19:27:37.418Z

I was trying out my new display, and I drew this head. I have been trying to get a more realistic manga style, but this drawing for me is kind of bad. So, if anyone can see a way to keep it less realistic but still better, please share. Tips for coloring are good as well, but I am more focused on the actual drawing.

Gold Haired Cavewoman

I struggled with value keying in the beginning and picking colors to set the mood of the background in the later parts. I also appriciate some tips to render the tree in the background and the rimlight of the character.

Joker

Hello,I drew The joker (traditional Art using acrylic Markers) I kind of like how it came out but I think maybe the color needs fixing, maybe cross hatching and maybe anatomy.

Cartoon fan art

I’m really bad at drawing faces in cartoon style. I can get the body down (albeit 2D only, and I did have to trace the hands), but it is just missing something. I’d just like some help with creating a face and making it pop. I do have background and other aspects to the piece, I am just looking for help with the portrait. 4/4
