Intro to Portraits, Section 4 (For real this time) - Portraits

Denn · 2026-07-22T20:01:47.511Z

The last submission was section 3!! I finished the intro to portraits roadmap today, and here's the final workout. I always had trouble with construction because I skipped steps in a hurry to get to the details and then the whole drawing fell apart, and I think I finally learned how to approach it calmly and correctly. The biggest problem I can see is the hair, I think I rely too much on lots of lines and it ends up looking unnatural. I'm not very good at likeness, but that wasn't the point of the exercise. Any other feedback about the construction, form and anatomical detail is welcome!

Redraw of an old piece - yandere bunny Belphie

This is a piece from 2023 that I want to redraw for the monthly challenge. While the colors are fairly good, the anatomy and composition could be improved 🫣 Plan is: 1. Find better composition 2. Use current anatomy knowledge to build underlying structure 3. Render the illustration

Full art rendering struggle

Hi ! I’m new on this app and I came here because I need help on the rendering. It’s my first time doing a full art and I struggle with lighting, contrast and texture :( I’m not satisfied as it’s not what I imagined when drawing the reference of the character in the picture. Thank you for any help or suggestions !

video game final boss

i can't get the composition right in this scene. the lighting is completely off, but i don't really understand why and why the colors don't really compliment each other that well. i want it to be like when u reach the final boss chamber in a video game and there's this reveal of this horrifying monster in the dim light... maybe its the composition that's not fixable at all?? ty in advance for your advice!<3
