Honestly. Amazing drawing. I am critiquing this because I have become blind to my own mistakes and need to bring myself to focus on problemsolving. I am not any better and my changes don’t necessarily improve your artwork, but here are a few things that might help that I wanted to note: - make clear (at least for yourself) where the light comes from. In certain areas it’s not very clear where the light comes from. I set it to be from above, but you can chose it to be from any direction or even add multiple. - anatomy and pose: I personally had difficulty reading the pose and wasn’t sure if the character was sitting or standing. Also the legs and arms are anatomically slightly off. I didn’t fully fix it, but I did change a few things slightly. A clear pose will make it easier to figure out where the light comes from. The clothing can help show the shape too, but doesn’t adapt to the shape of the body, with folds much. - maybe try mixing hard and soft edges and or shadows a bit more. It might make the drawing look a little less muddy. I do like the fuzzy softness, but the shadows aren’t very clear. - certain areas, like the hands, don’t have shadows, where at least some would be nesessary. -I do always like that you thought about the reflecting light, but in some cases, it does appear in locations where light has a dificult time reaching ( for example underarms), though I do think a bit of light is necessary to separate it from the background. -with the hair, it almost looks like there it disappears in a fog. The hands on the side have a similar effect, but because they are on the edge, it doesn’t cause the same problem. - I personally added a bit more contrast, to try to make it more interesting lighting wise, but I think your version might be softer for the eyes. - I did not know whether the bag was clenched in between the legs or sitting on the legs. Maybe making that clear, might help with readability of the artwork. I am not completely qualified to give this critique, but because I liked your drawing, I kinda wanted to try. I hope these tips help. Anyway . I love the drawing and the idea. And I think the colors are nice too. Setting a few focal point might help, but otherwise I think your drawing is excellent. I hope you gets tips from someone more experienced. P.s.: I focused primarily on the shoulders and hair. | Artwod Feedback
