Congrats for taking the time to make a new version, it looks already way better ! Maybe the flowers are going a bit against your story because it's a dark moment and your flowers are cute. Also the flowers shoud be even smaller in the distance! But overall you did great ! Can't wait to see your next illustration !

An environment piece - Rendering - Community Driven Art Feedback Platform

Seay Fox · 2026-08-22T19:55:43.994Z

For the revisions on the previous piece, i tried adding more to the grass with the flowers and rocks, not sure if I should keep them both though, I added the lighting to try and bring some contrast, and to try and connect the person with the tentacles, I tried having the goo of the tentacles seem like they are coming from him. I feel like the lighting from the rocket might be too much, perhaps it would be good to dim that down a bit, overall I feel like its just a bit too messy with how I refined it.

Trunchbull

I have this project of putting Matilda's (from Roald Dhal) characters in an anthropomorphic animal world. Here is TrunchBull. I think my shapes could be improved but I'm not really sure how. I would love to have your take on this !

color practice

thats an imaginary portrait practice. i m trying to get out of my comfort zone which is grayscale first>hues later and try to paint directly with color. but she looks lifeless.i want to keep the overall saturation but cant find how to balance it .is it the colors?the planes?wrong anatomy?all of the above? thanks!

referenced painting study

I'm having a hard time grouping my value zones in a clear and concise way, I can't seem to include reflected light and hue changes (particularly in the cobblestone path here, and some foliage details) without complicating and overworking the values.

Undecided

So, I was too deep in to go back to perspective Im just cheat and render it out. Sorry Fosco - When I start the next one im gonna really lean into the horizon line and vanish points. Try get some feedback on it early when its still sketch phase.

Still a looooong way to go but nice to see the distance covered so far :)

OPTIC BLAST!

Cyclops from x-men! uuuhhh i started with the silhouette first (kind of a sloppy move on my part). Actually, this whole drawing is pretty much based on my intuition, so yeah, the proportions and everything under the visor are gonna be pretty inconsistent, especially considering the angle. Didn't do too bad on the hair and line variation, tho. Oh yea, and there's a face from imagination on the bottom right. Also, have y'all read the remastered x-men manga yet. Im enjoying it so far. Thanks for the feedback!

Don quijote polish

I got some feedback in a Discord server, but it’s not here. Since im treating this website as a kind of journal, ill upload. I worked on the material separation, render of the face and tried to make the metal armor more beliavable. I think it’s a good improvement. Still, it could allways be better.

Sleepy Hoarder

1. Definitely struggled with the back feet being hidden but still managing to draw convincible forms. 2. Even with the perspective grid I think I did a poor job of nailing that yawning snout - referred to yawning lions for reference. The other entries are fantastic!

Need help with the form/proportions of the Upper torso.

How do I improve the form or proportions of the torso? I feel like something is off about the upper torso's that I'm drawing, I'm mainly just drawing a roundish sort of square for the base of the torso, and adding the chest over it, and just indicating the ribs.
