“What's working: Strong character design with a clear narrative. The color palette is cohesive and the suit detailing shows good design thinking. On your concerns: You're right about the gesture. Shif...”

“No, it's not horrible at all. Creating something is already a meaningful step, and there's clear effort here in the hatching and line work. There's plenty of good things as: Good use of directiona...”

“Solid work here ! Gesture is really a matter of mileage where you need things to click for yourself. Keep practicing them every now and then, as warmups for exemple. One note that would improve the...”

“You're not a beginner, that's for sure. Your rendering and design sense seems to have been practiced a lot. Figure out what you want to make, notice what's falling short, then target that specific ...”

“Your color palette works well overall, the pink/magenta against the dark blue creates nice contrast and mood. The issue isn't the colors themselves but how they interact: the bokeh circles and the mot...”

“Best option to me would be B The most readable, the raised holy symbol creates a distinctive silhouette, and her posture suggests both faith and lack of trust/fear. For the fundamentals, here are...”

“Here are some quick observations, I hope it helps :) The forearm does look a bit short relative to the upper arm. I would push the value contrast more. Right now it reads a bit flat. The delto...”

“Add a secondary cool accent: Everything sits in the same tones. Consider adding a a cool magical element (floating runes? spectral wisps around the feet?) to create contrast and sell the undead/supern...”

“Overall the piece works well, good atmosphere and the dual light sources are consistent and don't contradict each other. The silhouettes read clearly. I really like it! One thing to improve IMO: ...”

“You clearly understand the concept of wrapping contour lines around the form. The colored example shows you get how different planes connect, and most of your cylinders have convincing volume. Some...”

“First off, that's pretty impressive for a first art piecem you can be proud of yourself, and definitely consider it an art piece. On hair shading: It's about understanding the volume underneath. P...”

“It didn't bother me and if you didn't say it's not that easy to spot when you don't search for mistakes. This is a well done art piece in my opinion ! The fact that you noticed it is a great thing, ...”

“Spartans, what is your profession ?!”

“I really like the character and the general design of it. I would love to know his background story which is a good sign ! One feedback I would give would be to add line weight variation, the hatc...”

“The struggle probably comes from not understanding the underlying forms. I would highly advice you to watch this video from Artwod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=495gSJdJgzA (title: Watch THIS if y...”

“Good mood and color harmony overall. Values: The figure and background are too close in value, so nothing pops. Squint at your image, the silhouette almost disappears into the sky. The figure needs...”

“Nice energy in the expression and hair flow, but this would benefit from studying the underlying structure of the head first. The real issue: The face feels flat instead of being a 3D form. Before re...”

“That's a good start ! I really want to know this character story :) The pose reads as someone standing still rather than ready for action. A few ideas: Shift the weight: Right now both feet are...”

“I'll give one just to say that it looks awesome 🤩”

“The composition is great ! Just one thing to note: your ellipses aren't quite matching up. The lantern and the little figures jars look like they don't belong to the same plan because of that. Also...”

“The likeness and expression are well captured, there's genuine warmth in that squinting smile. I really like it. If I add one thing to point out would be that floating shape that doesn't read well I...”

“First, I love the chara design, I really want to know their story. The two characters compete for attention equally, neither wins as the focal point. Deciding who leads the moment would help a lot...”

“First of all, I really like the peice, it has real pontetial. Here's my feedback, you can reach to me on discord if you want me to be clearer on something. The tiara is sitting flat like a sticker ...”
