“Hey! What a lovely illustration so far! I really like your art style. :) When it comes to lighting, it's essential to keep the direction of the light in mind. You need to establish where the lig...”

“Hey there! What a level up! The only thing I would adjust here is the character's lighting. At the moment, it's not entirely clear whether the light is coming from above or from the side. What ...”

“Hey there! The issue isn't really that everything looks washed out or too soft—it's that the image feels flat because everything shares very similar values. There's very little sense of depth, and ...”

“Hey! Mark has already given you some great feedback. :) I'd just like to add a little more. When you're projecting the cast shadow of an object, you always need to keep the direction of the ligh...”

“Hey! You've done the exercise well, both boxes look good! :) The reason the box looks very narrow is that it's very close to the horizon line. This happens with all objects in perspective. The ...”

“Hey there! Good job so far! The character's proportions feel a bit off, particularly the legs. The upper portion of the right leg is too long, while the other leg feels too wide and lacks a clear ...”

“Hey there! Well, I'd definitely recommend focusing on improving the structure and proportions of the head. For example, the structure of the head on the right isn't quite working because you're n...”

“Hello there ! The way you drew the torso doesn't feel very believable. I say this because the middle section of the torso is much too narrow—it almost looks as if there isn't enough room for any or...”

“Hey there! Very nice practice! However, I don't think you're taking the horizon line of the scene into account. You have a very large tree on one side and, on the other, only silhouettes of smaller...”

“Hey there! Keep the lighting of the scene in mind. Since the moon is behind the creature, it will mainly lit the contours, helping the silhouette stand out against the dark background. Without clea...”

“Hey there! Nice work so far! :D I think the pose could use a bit more acting to make it feel more expressive. Try thinking about how the character would naturally interact with the necklace. O...”

“Hey there! I think this reads more as a lighting study than a composition study. I like the idea of using blue in the shadows, but in this case it doesn't quite follow the lighting logic of the sc...”

“Hey there! Great theme! :D The only thing that stood out to me is that the character feels a bit too large compared to the car. So the main adjustment I made was correcting the scale (which, of c...”

“Hey! You're doing well so far! :) Follow the vertical centerline of the side ellipse; it will help you locate the jawline, since the neck begins just behind the ear. Also, remember that the ear s...”

“Hey! Nice work here! :D I completely understand the struggle with drawing large ellipses; they can end up a bit wonky. Even now, I still have trouble drawing accurate large ellipses from time to...”

“Hey, Inkdiot! Pff... what an illustration! I absolutely love the dark atmosphere, and I'm always amazed by how people come up with such cool ideas like this! :D I'd only make a few adjustments t...”

“Hello, Marshrom! This reminds me of Zelda. :) The main thing I'd recommend is pushing the contrast between light and shadow much further. Let the lava, the main light source, contain the bright...”

“Hey there! Think about the character's lighting. It feels a bit inconsistent for the character to be fully illuminated when the main light source is coming from behind. Of course, you could justif...”

“Hello there! When painting lighting, the first thing you need to establish is the direction of the light (which you've already done). From there, think about which planes are directly facing the li...”

“Hello there! I really like the illustration so far! The main thing I'd work on is the lighting, since it feels a bit inconsistent. From what I can tell, the main light source is coming from abo...”

“Hey! Nice job here! :D Overall, I really like the art style! The simplified shapes are chef's kiss. I only made a few small adjustments. First, I separated the foreground, midground, and bac...”

“Hey! Well... the proportions are definitely the main issue in this illustration. The head is much too large, while the body is too small, which makes the painting feel a bit off, unless that was...”

“Hey! Nice job here! You already have a solid base imo :D However, I'd recommend continuing to work on your drawing skills as well. It's one of those fundamentals that you'll eventually need to ...”

“Hey! I'm assuming the idea is that this character is a giant? If that's the case, I'd first recommend lowering the horizon line. Placing it lower in the composition helps emphasize the height of...”

“Hey! Nice work so far! :) It's a solid start, but I'd recommend spending a bit more time analyzing the forms of your subject, in this case, the turtle. There's nothing wrong with tracing over...”

“Hey! Very cool! :D When you're drawing facial expressions, follow one of the tips we often hear in ArtWod: use emojis as references for facial expressions lol. I'm definitely not an expert o...”

“Hey there! It's always good to go back to the fundamentals from time to time! :D There's always something new to learn—or relearn—and improve. If you have the chance, I'd recommend taking the d...”

“Hey there! Nice work on these figure studies! :) It's clear that you already have a solid foundation in figure drawing. That said, I think what would help you the most right now is practicing mo...”

“Hey! Nice work here! :D One thing I'd suggest is making the lighting read more clearly. The rim light you've painted on Vi's forearm and hand suggests that the main light source is behind her...”

“Hello there! I think this might be a bit difficult to correct since you're working with oils, but I'd still like to point out one thing. There seem to be two different perspectives in the painti...”

“Hey! I think one of the main issues is that the lighting direction hasn't been clearly established. Because of that, it's difficult to know where the shadows should fall, which makes the lighting f...”

“Hey there! Just a few small observations. The eyes were a bit too close together. Notice how the inner corners of the eyes line up with the wings of the nose. Keeping that relationship helps the...”

“Hey! This is a pretty straightforward fix. You just need to lighten the background. If you look at the image in grayscale, you'll notice that the values throughout the scene are very similar. Th...”

“Hey there! The torso itself is a bit too wide as you've drawn it. Notice that the rib cage is actually much narrower and slightly more elongated. Also, the top of the rib cage doesn't reach all ...”

“Hey! I saw that you've already received some really good feedback! :D So I'll just add one thing about the armor. Remember that armor wraps around the body. Because of that, it should follow ...”

“Hey! Nice work here! :D Just one small correction. The pose feels a little unbalanced, which makes it seem like the figure could fall backward. Notice how I pushed the line of action a bit...”

“Hey there! Nice work! :D Just a few small things to correct in your portrait. The main areas I'd focus on are the structure and shape of the nose, as well as the size of the lips. The lower p...”

“Hey! It looks like you already have a solid foundation, but I think what you need now is to define your forms more clearly and focus on improving your proportions. In both mannequins, the arms are ...”

“Hey there! I saw that Rembert already gave you some feedback! :D What I did is actually pretty similar to what he suggested—I adjusted the head structure to improve the proportions. The ear w...”

“Hey there! The two different lighting setups feel a bit conflicting to me. On one hand, you have natural light illuminating the character's face, but on the other, you also have the light coming...”

“Hey there! Overall, I think the lighting could use a bit more contrast. One thing that's very characteristic of League of Legends splash art is the strong light-against-dark and dark-against-lig...”

“Hey! Great job! Rendering something like this takes a lot of time and patience... I don't usually have the patience to spend that long on a painting, haha. Anyway... I think the squirrel needs...”

“Hello there! I don't have much to say about it. I just correct the lighting a bit, the shadow shapes :) Keep it up!”

“Hey! Nice work here! :D The lighting feels a bit inconsistent. For example, why would there be bounce light on the inside of the character's torso? It almost looks as if the light reflecting ...”

“Hey there! Nice work here! :D The main thing I'd adjust is the lighting, since it doesn't feel completely consistent with the scene. On one hand, you have the light coming from the projector, b...”

“Hello there! Nice work here! :D I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the challenge! Whenever I take part in challenges, I usually focus more on what I'll be able to improve and learn during that time ra...”

“Hello there! If you're having trouble painting shadows in general, the first thing I'd recommend is avoiding shadows that are almost the same value as the lit skin. When your shadow values are too ...”

“Hey! It's a solid composition, but it feels a bit flat to me. One thing you could try to improve it, or at least keep in mind for your future sketches, is to play more with the terrain. Instead ...”

“Hey! It's been a long time since I last went to a coffee shop to sketch people. I should do that again... Anyway, this is just a suggestion, but when you're drawing people from life, I think it'...”

“Hey there! Nice work on these gesture drawings! :) That said, I'd recommend putting more emphasis on capturing the shape of the torso, because I personally think that's one of the most important...”

“Hey! Good work so far! I think there are some really interesting compositions here. :) I picked one of them to show how I might improve it. The first thing I did was play with the terrain by ...”

“Hello! This is my first time giving you feedback. :) I've really enjoyed the feedback you've been giving so far! Anyway, out of the four options, C is my favorite, followed closely by A, but I l...”

“Hey! Good work so far! :) One thing I'd recommend is keeping the background simple, just a ground plane and a sky. That way, you won't have to worry about painting a complex environment and can ...”

“Hey! What adorable rabbits! :D I corrected one of them, but I think these observations will be helpful for your future drawings as well. :D The rabbit felt a bit off, mainly because of the pe...”

“Hello there! Good work here! :D I think it's a solid foundation overall. One thing I'd recommend is defining the forms more clearly, since many of the edges throughout the environment are a bit ...”

“Hello there! Good work here! :D What I'd recommend is starting with a simple mannequin as the foundation for your drawing. It will help you achieve better proportions and establish the pose more...”

“Hey! I'll build on what Mochi already mentioned. They're absolutely right—when we're beginners, we often think that the key to making something look good is adding more detail, when in reality, the...”

“Hey! It's looking good! Nice work! :D I only made a small correction to the perspective and direction of the front leg. In my opinion, having a clear underlying construction would make the shadi...”

“Hello there! I made a few adjustments to the proportions. The back of the head was a little too large compared to the front, and the jaw was an easy fix using the lasso tool—I just moved it up slig...”

“Hey there! Such a cool illustration! :D The main thing I notice here is that the lighting isn't entirely consistent. On one hand, the character's face is lit from below, which suggests the light...”

“Hey there! The illustration looks great so far! :D I'd only make a few adjustments, starting with defining the cast shadow on the neck. Right now, it looks a bit odd because the neck muscles are...”

“Hey there! Great job drawing this from imagination! :D Just a few small observations. The trapezius muscles are sitting a bit too high, and they aren't quite following the movement of the sho...”

“Hello there! Rendering is the cherry on top of the cake, so I'd recommend focusing on lighting first. You don't need to create a complex lighting setup, either. You can keep the shading simple b...”

“Hey there! It's looking really good so far! :D Just a few small corrections. The eyes were a bit too close together because the nose was too narrow, and its structure wasn't clearly defined. T...”

“Hello there! What I'd recommend is learning to construct the head using the Loomis method first. This approach will help you develop a much better understanding of the head's structure, includin...”

“Hey there! This is already a solid foundation! :D The main thing I notice is that everything is lit almost equally, so there isn't much of a value hierarchy. I'd start by darkening the surround...”

“Hey! The idea is really cool! :D That said, in this case I'd push the pose a bit further to give it more of a martial artist vibe. Take a look at the poses of karate practitioners and pay att...”

“Hello there! I can see several strong points here: the idea of using the glowing lines to guide the viewer's eye works well, and the overall silhouette of the character reads clearly. The issue is ...”

“Hey! Good work here! However, the two main things I'd focus on are the perspective and the sense of volume. Regarding the perspective, if we're viewing the ogre from above, we shouldn't be able ...”

“Hello there! I really like the whole concept of the goats on the cliff... It's still a mystery to me how they manage to climb walls like that, haha. Anyway, just a couple of small observations. ...”

“Hey! Good work so far, you already have a solid foundation. :) And you actually pointed out the main issue yourself: the forms don't read very clearly because the edges aren't well defined yet. ...”

“Hey there! Great job here! I really like the design of this voodoo chest. :) I don't have too much to say. I would only make a few small adjustments. To start with, I'd lower the rope that'...”

“Hey there! Well, in this case, I don't think there's much reason to worry about how the back would look in this pose, since what we're really focusing on is the front view. Broadly speaking, though...”

“Hello there! There's absolutely nothing wrong with painting simple subjects. :) It actually made me realize that I’ve barely painted any fruit myself... haha. Anyway, I only made a few adjust...”

“Hey! Good work! :D There are two main things I'd point out about the full-body horse. One is the proportions (which is what you asked about), and the other is the perspective. Regarding the p...”

“Hello there! Good work so far! To start with, I wouldn’t make the snowflakes in the foreground that large. Personally, having them all be roughly the same size and cover a good portion of the fo...”

“Ey, qué onda! :D This looks awesome! I took a look through your work, and everything you make is incredible! To be honest, I'd love to be able to create dark fantasy illustrations like yours some...”

“Hey there! You already have a very solid understanding of values. They do a great job of making each part of the scene easy to read. However, I think the main issue is that you haven’t establish...”

“Hey! From what I can see, you already have a solid foundation in gesture drawing. If I were to recommend one thing, it would be to focus on building more clearly defined torso forms. The best wa...”

“Hey there! Amazing work! Your hatching technique is so good! I wish I could do that too, haha. Anyway, I made a few small corrections. I only made a slight adjustment to the beast’s pose, but...”

“Hello there! Good job here! :D I’d love to give you some advice on the inking, but it’s not something I’m very experienced with, so I wouldn’t know what meaningful feedback to give. Because of t...”

“Hey! I don’t have much to say regarding color, you already have a very solid foundation in your painting style. I like it! As for the shading, you’ll need to define the direction of the light so...”

“Hello! Just a few small notes :D I think adding more gesture to the legs would make them feel more natural in neutral poses. In other words, notice how the legs tend to have an elongated “S” cur...”

“Hello there! I like the way you used the reference; however, personally, I’d like your character to follow the same gesture as the reference pose, in other words, to emphasize the body tilt more an...”

“Hey there! I really loved the way you drew the face, what a great technique! :D However, the perspective of the head and the body doesn’t quite match. You drew the head from a more frontal angle...”

“Hey there! I really liked this drawing! :D The theme and the narrative are very interesting :D The main issue I see is with the proportions, and a little bit with the position of the torso. As ...”

“Hello there! I like the portraits and the facial features of each one! :D I made a small correction to the top portrait. I felt the eyes were a bit too close together, so I moved the right eye sli...”

“Hey! So far, good work, but there are a few adjustments I would make. First, I would change the value of the blue background and make it lighter, since the hair and the background fall within th...”

“Hey there! Good exercises! :D I only made a few small corrections, since the heads were looking a little flat. Especially in the proportion between the side plane of the face and the sphere (like...”

“Hey there! Just a small correction regarding the larger character. The head was sitting a bit too far away from the body—in other words, the neck was too long. When viewing a character from abov...”

“Hello there! Just a small correction regarding the side-view pose. It’s common to draw the body completely straight, but the human body doesn’t actually work that way. The torso has a natural tilt...”

“Hey! I’ll focus for now only on composition :) Later, I could make an example for values or lighting. But anyway, first of all, define your horizon line. It seems like the horizon is placed too ...”

“Hey there! Well... It’s clear you already have a solid foundation, and at this point it’s mostly a matter of practice so you can draw better ellipses, and also patience. I can tell you that even a...”

“Hey! Nice sketch! :D And well, this is actually a pretty simple fix. For one, place the horizon line lower in the image. That will let you draw more of the upper trunk of the tree and, of cou...”

“Hey! Nice work! Although the image is a bit too bright and the drawing isn’t fully visible, I still tried to adjust the face a little and push the expression a bit more (even though I don’t usua...”

“Hey there! Just a few small corrections :) In the first head, we shouldn’t be able to see the entire underside of the nose, only a little bit, since we’re viewing the head from a mid-level angle...”

“Hey there! Nice work on this sketch! I adjusted the perspective of the animals a bit, since they were looking a little strange and flat, especially the tiger. I don’t usually draw animals, bu...”

“Hello there! Well, the main issue is that you're not considering the height of the forms in the back of the boxes, particularly in the second rounded box. Because of this, it ends up looking flat. ...”

“Hey there! Sorry about the somewhat messy lines in the draw-over; I'm still getting used to my tablet's sensitivity. I adjusted the proportions and perspective of the characters a bit. For th...”

“Hey there! Nice work! It's admirable to see such consistency in your drawings. Just a small correction regarding the proportions and a bit of the perspective. The arm was too long. If you ima...”

“Yo! Nice work here! Just a few small corrections regarding the proportions of the figures. The figure on the left had a neck that was too long. One technique you can use is the "rule of third...”

“Yo! Something fairly simple to correct. You need to draw the torso in a stronger 3/4 view, or at least emphasize the 3/4 perspective more, because right now the armor looks like it's facing dir...”

“Hey! Nicely done so far! However, the figures feel a bit off, especially the one on the right. In both poses, we should be able to see the underside of the ribcage because of the tilt and ben...”

“Hello there! I'm a fan of the sketches you've done so far! Impressive work! I only made a few adjustments to the pose. I'm not exactly an expert at drawing this kind of pose, especially with ver...”

“Hey there! Nice work, and good practice! I only made a few adjustments to the convergence of some of the lines and rounded out the lower buildings a bit more, since they previously felt somewhat...”

“Hey there! Something I would recommend is avoiding placing the horizon line right in the middle of the canvas. Doing so tends to make compositions feel a bit dull or static. It's usually much more ...”

“Hello there! I don't think the main issue is the rendering itself, but rather the value hierarchy and lighting. Of course, any illustration can always be refined further, and the rock formations c...”

“Hey! Nice work! The main issue I see here is the perspective and viewing angle. The eyes in your drawing are not properly aligned, whereas in the reference, they follow the same perspective. ...”

“Hello there! The proportions felt a bit off overall. The upper part of the head was too wide, the nose didn't feel volumetric enough, and the mouth appeared too small. Likewise, the ear was und...”

“Hey! The key to a good drawing is its structure. You'll notice that I lightly sketched the underlying structure of the head using simple forms such as boxes and cylinders. On top of that foundat...”

“Hey there! Nice work here. I'll say the same thing I've mentioned before: the issue isn't really that you can't draw boxes. The issue is that their lines aren't converging toward the vanishing p...”

“Hello there! Nice work so far! The first thing I'd recommend is avoiding painting on a completely white background. Working on a mid-tone or darker background will help you maintain much better ...”

“Hey! Similar to what I mentioned in another critique: Make sure your lines converge toward the vanishing points. In two-point perspective, the lines on the right side should converge toward the ri...”

“Hey! Well, if you're having trouble drawing boxes, the first thing I'd recommend is avoiding curved grids. They tend to make accurate convergence much harder to establish. Instead, you could draw ...”

“Hello there! Nice work! The main issue here is that the convergence lines of the stairs do not follow the intended vanishing point. Instead, they appear to be converging toward a different vanis...”

“Hey! Nice work so far! However, the pose is off. Notice that the tilt of the shoulders and the hips doesn't match the reference. This is something I would recommend identifying first whenever yo...”

“Hey there! Beautiful illustration! The main issue here is the value structure. The image feels flat because the value range is very similar throughout the entire scene, which means there's littl...”

“Hello there! I really like the design! Very creative. One thing that could help is lowering the values in areas such as the inside of the cape and the shadow beneath the neck, while slightly inc...”

“Hello there! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you with feedback. I think the best way to give the character more volume is to create stronger contrast between the light and shadow areas. ...”

“Hey! This drawing is awesome! Antonio's demonstration is really cool. I only made a few corrections, mainly to the character's chest. It wasn't following the same perspective as the rest of the ...”

“Hey there! You already have a very solid foundation here! As for the painting process: A lot of it depends on the style you're aiming for and how refined you want the final character to be. Fr...”

“Hello there! I really like the bird drawings! I only made a few perspective adjustments to each one so they would fit better within the perspective you've already established. In particular, I ...”

“Hey, man! I don't have much to say here. I just wanted to sketch over your drawings to refine them a little more :p Nice work here!”

“Hey there! The design looks good overall! What I think would help improve the drawing is adding shadow shapes to create stronger contrast. Without shadows, there isn't much visual hierarchy, so...”

“Hey! Well... There are two main reasons why it looks flat. The first is the lack of structure. Remember that a good drawing foundation can save you hours of painting. It's much better to start wi...”

“Hey there! I'm not sure whether you used references for the pose or drew it from imagination, but I’d really recommend using references so you can better understand the position of the arm holding ...”

“Hello there! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you with feedback. Overall, the piece looks good, but I'm not entirely sure what the focal point is supposed to be. At first, I thought it was...”

“Hello, bud! Nice work here! I adjusted the proportions of the head a bit, although doing so changed the drawing style slightly... but that's okay, take whatever is useful and apply it in your ow...”

“Hey! As for proportions, I think looking at it this way might help you place the facial features more accurately. Try dividing the face into three equal sections: from the top of the head to the e...”

“Hey! I like the illustration so far! I mainly adjusted the lighting and color. To start with, I recommend avoiding painting on a completely white background. On one hand, pure white can be hars...”

“Hello there! Nice work here! I really like the scene It feels cozy. However, I think what's holding it back is the atmospheric hierarchy. Everything carries the same visual importance: the stairca...”

“Hey there! Here's a lil painting fixing the perspective, it was slightly off. So that's why the hair looked kind of off, even tho the volume was there. Hope this helps! :)”

“Hey there! Nice work here! Just a few small corrections. The character's eyes were a bit too close together, and the nose lacked volume due to the way the under-nose area was drawn. It ended up...”

“Hello there! The character looks amazing so far! I really love the style you’re working with You need to define your light source first; that’s the foundation for painting light and shadow prope...”

“Hey! I only corrected two of the drawings since those felt the most off to me, especially the middle one. The way you added the bending makes the form feel a bit awkward and flat. Remember to g...”

“Hey! If you’re learning digital painting, I’d highly recommend starting by painting only in grayscale values first. Why values? Because values are the foundation of painting and one of the most...”

“Hey! I haven’t really drawn much using brush pens myself. But in general, what I’d recommend is doing exercises that help you gain better control over the brush. Things like the studies on the ...”

“Hello there! The pose itself feels a bit stiff right now. It would help a lot to push the gesture more to give the character additional personality, in other words, exaggerate the pose a bit furth...”

“Hey there! When it comes to the abs, you can think of them in a much more simplified way. Doing this will help you add better volume later on and also make it easier to draw the muscle group from ...”

“Hello there! Just a few small notes. I would remove the shadow you added in the background, since it doesn’t really make sense if the light source is coming from above. Having that shadow there ...”

“Hello there! Great illustration so far! You could use a Multiply layer to paint the shadows, using a slightly desaturated green for the skin, a somewhat desaturated brown for the hair, and the s...”

“Hello Grant! Good start here! I think the pose would work better if the mermaid were pushed more clearly into a 3/4 view — although maybe that was already your intention. Right now it feels cau...”

“Hey there! Good work so far. It’s a solid foundation :) I’ll help a bit with the figure overall, although drawing female figures isn’t exactly my strongest area hehe. The head felt slightly ...”

“Hey! What an awesome illustration! Just a few small lighting adjustments could help create better contrast between the characters and the background. Always try to establish either a dark-on-...”

“Hello there! I understand the frustration with gesture drawing. I went through a very similar phase where, despite practicing a lot, it felt like I wasn’t improving or making meaningful progress. ...”

“Hey! Great illustration! What stands out to me the most is the head and neck area — they don’t feel fully connected to the torso because of the way they were painted. The main issue is the co...”

“Hello there! Great work so far! You could push the values a bit more to improve the contrast and sense of depth. Try making the background slightly brighter; this would help sell the effect o...”

“Hello there! Great work! The body construction is looking really solid! Just a small note regarding proportions: some of the heads feel slightly too large compared to the rest of the body. T...”

“Hey there! Great work so far! Very colorful The issue here is that the piece feels flat because there isn’t a clearly established lighting setup, so almost everything shares a very similar value...”

“Hello there! Great work so far! It looks really cool I’m not familiar with the “shi” style… assuming that’s what you meant haha. But anyway, my main suggestion would be to define the internal...”

“Hello there! You already have a solid foundation! The main issue I see is that the skin is too yellow, and you’re not really considering the color mapping of the face. What I mean by that is ...”

“Hey there! You already have a solid foundation, but yes, the shadows are definitely off. There isn’t a clear light direction right now. You need to study the planes of the face, either in a simp...”

“Hey! Good arm study! What I’d recommend for now is focusing more on drawing simplified forms and avoiding diving too deeply into learning muscles just yet. The reason I say this is because th...”

“Hey there! Great job! The design looks amazing! I think you could push the lamp lighting a bit more to create stronger contrast. But before anything else, making the background slightly darker w...”

“Hey! The main thing to keep in mind when drawing fur is the silhouette, with a good silhouette, you don't have to worry too much for the inner details.”

“Hey there! Just wanted to have fun painting the armour :))”

“Hey there! It's a good base, don't hate the colours. Just make sure add more colour variation in the skin. Like ochra in the forehead, red on the cheeks, blue tones on the chin. This will ...”

“Yo! Looking really good so far! I like both scenes, but especially the close-up in the lower one. Regarding not knowing how to finish a piece: Painting environments is complicated, so try to ke...”

“Hello there! The perspective feels a bit off, especially in the legs. Right now it looks like the character is floating instead of standing firmly on the ground. I think the intention was for ...”

“Hello there! I missed this exercise! It’s nice seeing these again around here haha. Overall, the ellipse on some of the cylinders in the lower section is incorrect; the angle is off, which mean...”

“Hey there! Looking really good so far! I really like the painting technique you’re using I’d like to focus a bit on the structure of the mermaid, since it feels slightly off. I’m not sure if ...”

“Hello there! Great work so far! I really love the idea of the mermaid inside the small inflatable pool haha. There are two main things I’d like to mention here: one about the rendering, and the...”

“Hello there! Honestly, I don’t have much to say! I think you did a really good job with the exercise! The only thing I could mention regarding the simplification of the arms is to think of them...”

“Hey there! Overall, you already have a really solid foundation! The main issue with the side-profile pose is actually the legs more than the arm. As for the arm, you could simply define the mus...”

“Hello there! Really nice head studies! If your goal is to practice drawing heads from different angles, I’d recommend avoiding overly complex forms for now and instead focusing on drawing the he...”

“Hey! First of all, sorry for changing the pose. I didn’t realize the character was walking and not standing in a neutral pose hehe. But anyway, what I want to mention is less about the pose its...”

“Hey there! Great character! Overall I really like the design, but I’d rather focus on the structure of the character since it feels a bit off at the moment. The legs are misaligned, the center ...”

“Hey! Nice illustration so far! I’d say it’s already looking good, but you could get a much stronger contrast if you avoid lighting the entire scene evenly. As the artist, you have the power t...”

“Hey! Focus on the important things. In this case, the tree (at least the trunk), the foreground and a bit of the BG Leave the rest as something rough. Hope this helps!”

“Hey! Just think about simple shapes as ribbons. Hope this helps!”

“Hey! Great drawing! I don't have much to say, Kanna gave you a great feedback already! The only thing I'd say is about the hair. Break it down in simple shapes like reabons. Keep it up!...”

“Hey mate. Just my two cents here. Perspective was a bit off. On the other hand, the hair was off too; it didn't have volume, which is why the portrait looked a bit flat. Hope it helps!”

“Hey there! Sorry for the rough paintover :,) I just needed something to draw on to explain things. Painting city scenes can be complex—and honestly, pretty tedious. A good general rule is to fo...”

“Hello there! Nice work so far! I like the “crush” idea! You could extend the statue so it feels grounded—right now it reads a bit like it’s floating, which breaks the sense of weight. Given i...”

“Yo! These are really strong thumbnails—I like all the ideas. That said, #2 and #4 are definitely the most interesting ones. Just a few notes: #1: The pose feels a bit unbalanced, and the sh...”

“Hey! Just a few things feel a bit off to me. Right now, all the boxes are following the same direction/angle, which makes the composition feel a bit repetitive. If you vary the orientation of so...”

“Hey! Glad you found this platform and that the feedback is helping you improve! Overall, the character feels a bit flat due to a lack of defined body volumes, especially in the arms (which don’t...”

“Hey! The main issue I see here is the color design. Even though your values are working really well, relying on a single color range (purples) makes everything feel flat and without hierarchy. T...”

“Hey there! Just wanted to play a bit with the lighting here. You already got great feedback from André :D”

“Hey! Good work so far! The main issue overall is proportions. In many of the figures, the head is a bit too small, which makes the neck feel longer than it should. Also, in some cases the delto...”

“Hey there! It looks quite good so far. Like the composition :D I'd recommend ypu to render the focal point (the castle) and the foreground. These two are the most important aspects in the com...”

“Hey! The design is really cool! And the overall style works great About line quality, if you want it to help with depth, you’ll need to push thicker lines in certain areas. Right now, everythin...”

“Hey! I’m not really a comics expert; it’s not my main style. But from what I can see, it would really help to step back a bit and focus on fundamentals, especially perspective and anatomy. Ther...”

“Hey! Great start! I really like how this illustration is shaping up Just a few suggestions that could push it further: Try making the mermaid a bit smaller. Leaving some breathing room aroun...”

“Hello there! Welcome to this world! It’s completely normal to struggle with many things as a beginner, honestly, most things at first hehe. What I’d strongly recommend is focusing on fundamen...”

“Hello there! Nice illustration so far! Overall, it feels like the horizon line, and therefore the ground plane, isn’t being clearly considered. Because of that, the legs aren’t fully aligned,...”

“Hey Jester! Nice character! You mentioned wanting to push toward a hyper-realistic / 3D render look. To get there, you’ll want to start moving away from visible linework. Line is great during ...”

“Hey! You already have a solid base, which is great! Overall, I’d recommend focusing more on form manipulation and perspective. You mentioned George Bridgman, and beyond his anatomical knowled...”

“Hello there! I’m not entirely sure what your goal was with studying the Asaro head here. One important thing to keep in mind is that the Asaro head is mainly used to understand the planes of the...”

“Hey! I don’t have a ton to add here, but there are a couple of useful tweaks you can apply to avoid that flat look. One big thing is emphasizing “T” intersections. These are great for showing vo...”

“Hey! Good work so far. The main issue here is that you’re drawing the beetle as if it’s seen from a top-down, flat view; there’s little sense of perspective. First, you need to establish the ...”

“Hello there! I really love this illustration, and the way you handled the hand adds a lot of character. Having the hand in the background waving is a great touch. Just a small piece of feedback...”

“Hello there! Nice work here! Honestly, there’s not much to critique, the illustration feels solid, and I’d personally consider it finished. Of course, there’s always something you could tweak, b...”

“Hello there! For gesture drawing, it’s best to focus on the *action* of the pose rather than its structure. Like you did in your first drawing, there, you captured the movement using more fluid ...”

“Hey there! Nice work here! The proportions are indeed a bit off. The head feels too small, while the chest is too elongated. On top of that, the deltoids are too small, remember that the delt...”

“Hey! Several areas could really be improved here. First, the composition: The characters feel a bit too large and are placed too far into the right corner, which weakens the sense of scale. I...”

“Yo! This illustration is looking really strong so far! The main issue is that everything feels a bit flat right now, and that mostly comes down to lighting. First, I’d suggest making the back...”

“Hello there! In general, the portrait feels a bit flat due to the lack of clear light direction and cast shadows. It’s usually not ideal for the light source to come from the same direction as ...”

“Hey! First of all, bird! haha Really nice work so far! First, I’d recommend avoiding painting on a completely white background. It makes value control a bit harder, especially when it comes to ...”

“Hey! Honestly, I don’t have much more to add. Emilia already gave you really solid feedback, including some of the same points I would’ve mentioned. Just speaking broadly: Keep the direction ...”

“Hey there! Nice work so far! There are just a few things that feel off right now. The perspective is a bit inconsistent, and the balance of the pose feels slightly off due to the way the legs a...”

“Hey! Excellent work! The scene already has a strong visual appeal, and with a few adjustments, it could become even more effective. First: The foreground and middle areas currently share very ...”

“Hey! Amazing work!”

“Hey there! The character and the illustration overall look fantastic! Having two artificial light sources can definitely make finding a good balance a bit more challenging, but here’s the approa...”

“Hey there! For now, I’d strongly recommend focusing primarily on the human figure so you can improve the proportions, body perspective, and anatomy overall And alongside that, perspective itself. ...”

“Hello there! Great work so far! The main issue here is that some of the body proportions feel slightly off. For example: The chest is too small, which makes the head feel slightly oversized T...”

“Hello there! Great work so far! Just a few points that I think could help improve the illustration. First of all: Try not to crop the hand this way. In general, it’s best to avoid cutting o...”

“Hey! Very strong illustration! I absolutely love the color palette and style you’ve established here! As for the composition, overall it looks solid, and I’d only suggest a few minor adjustment...”

“Hey! Great work here! Your technique is really impressive! Overall, the perspective feels a bit off. This is mainly because there isn’t a clearly established horizon line, and the chair itse...”

“Yo! Great work here! I really like the dynamism of the pose! As for the values and lighting: The lighting itself doesn’t look bad, but right now the values feel too similar across the entire...”
