“Hi! Epic submission! I think we could improve this one by getting rid of some of the noise. As you can see I have simplified some of the lighting and shading into larger shapes. Always try to start of...”

“Hi there! First off, I love that you already simplified the hair into big chunks and then added small strands to break up that silhouet a little bit, but we can push it further, so that is what I did ...”

“Hi! Thanks for submitting this, love seeing all the different styles! There's a few things that I think I could help you with here. First of all, you have a character in the scene, this is great becau...”

“Hi there! What an epic submission! I don't think there are any major things that need improving other than what has already been said in the other great feedbacks, so I'll be nitpicky! I think impleme...”

“Hi! Love your style of drawing here, there's so much detail! I think there's a few things that I would usually comment on like the glare in the shades being maybe more extreme than what is realistic, ...”

“Hey! The main issue is that your forms aren't clearly defined. Regardless of which tools you use, you need to do a better job of defining them. For that, I recommend always starting by blocking in t...”

“Hey! Thanks for sharing your work. I adjusted the proportions a bit, particularly on the heads of the characters at the top, as both of them had very large craniums and relatively small facial featur...”

“Hey! Great job with these characters! I really like the variety you've achieved so far. I'll use one of them as an example to help you a bit with the lighting. First of all, you need to establish th...”

“Hi there! We actually love seeing the process of a piece on here, not just the finished results. It's always good to ask feedback at this stage, as a lot can still change! Like you said, if you unders...”

“Hello! Great job with this portrait, and well done with the technique! The only thing I would adjust slightly is the shape of the shadows. If the light is coming from the right at roughly a 3/4 angl...”

“Hey there! What a great piece, I love this 80's poster vibe! I used the light source to seperate the figures a little bit more and create more depth like in the arm/hair/... Added some bounce light in...”

“Happy birthday to your OC! I think in terms of proportions, their right arm holding up the hat has to be a little bit longer. Other than that, I feel the angle of the neck is in a bit too extreme of a...”

“Hi, I'm not familiar with this character/oc, but very curious to see what those different transformations look like! The hair has both a highlight & shadow celshading, so apply the highlights to the r...”

“Hello! Very interesting scene! I would definitely spend a bit more time working on the colors to better convey the mood of a cloudy morning. Always use references when studying lighting and color, e...”

“Hey! What a lovely character! I would definitely work a bit more on the expression of the pose, as it feels slightly stiff at the moment. Try to avoid straight lines in poses, especially in the rela...”

“Hey Oscartejedor! Great work so far! I really like the direction you're taking with your Don Quixote.”

“Hey! I absolutely love this illustration! The main thing I'd adjust here is the values to create stronger contrast and make the image more visually appealing. This scene lends itself well to having m...”

“Hello! Thanks for sharing your submission! Your character is lacking a bit of structural foundation. Areas such as the face, the bent leg, and the upper torso feel somewhat flat, and I think this mai...”

“Hey! Thanks for sharing your submission! One thing you could do to make it look more "professional" is to pay closer attention to your line quality and avoid overly hairy or scratchy lines. Try using...”

“Hey! Great job! I really like your DnD character. I don't have much to add here. I made a few subtle adjustments to the shadows to better emphasize the volume. They're small changes, but I think they...”

“Hello! The painting process can be quite complex, especially when the scene itself is more complex. That's why I always recommend focusing on two things: your focal point and your foreground. The re...”

“Hey! It's looking really good! One thing I'd recommend is pushing for more graphic shapes and fewer wobbly lines. Of course, to achieve that, it's important to build a solid drawing foundation first ...”

“Hi Jord! You've already been given some really great feedback for the heads so I'm going to add in some advice for the body. Anime is very stylised, so when you want to introduce a bit more detail and...”

“Hey! I really like the composition and the overall concept! One thing I'd recommend is strengthening the contrast by pushing the shadows a bit darker. Right now, many of the values are very close to ...”

“Hey! First of all, before you start painting, always make sure your drawing has a solid foundation. You should already understand the forms and the perspective at the drawing stage. Doing this will s...”

“Hey! There's one major issue here: the scene is using two different perspectives. While the characters are drawn from a fairly neutral front view, the furniture is drawn from a higher viewpoint, with...”

“Hey! Thanks for sharing your work! When practicing gesture drawing, try to focus more on the movement of the body and less on building a rigid structure. In other words, instead of thinking about bo...”

“Hello, what a great piece! I can absolutely see what you mean with the vibrancy and colour diversity, but it is an easy fix! What I did here is simply add a few gradient maps on top to give it a more...”

“Hi Michael! I think you're on track to achieve your goals, this was already a cool piece. What I did here quickly is adjust some of the colours. The green magic is glowing, that means it'll have a lot...”

“Hello! I really like the character, the concept is quite interesting. If your goal is to create semi-realistic characters, and especially if you'd like to work in comics or manga, it's essential t...”

“Hello Denndrite! Ruby has already given you some excellent feedback! So instead, I'll focus on the lighting. Try experimenting with more dramatic lighting setups. They can make a portrait feel much...”

“Hello! Thanks for sharing your submission! The main issue I see is that most of the elements are too big, causing them to compete for the viewer's attention. Think about your visual hierarchy. Wh...”

“Hello! You've done a great job here! I really like the sense of movement in the illustration. Overall, the characters are working well, but I'd make a couple of adjustments. Since the camera is po...”

“Hello! I really like the idea of the character resting on top of the dragon. That said, the dragon's structure is the main area that needs more attention. Remember that a strong illustration always ...”

“Hi, if you're struggling with this design proces, I'd recommend doing 3 things. First, lower the bar of expectations. Instead of coming up with a completely new design, iterate on one you have already...”

“Hey Julien! I think the colors can be pushed here more in the shadow. The best way to think about what colors to use is to look at what surrounds it. Downward facing planes in shadows will receive bou...”

“Cool piece! I think your next challenge will be to try and get those lines controlled and better connected. Instead of chicken scratches, try taking it more slowly, or practise ghosting the lines a fe...”

“Hello Lycoris! You could improve the scene by strengthening its visual hierarchy and gaining better control over the values. The illustration would have much stronger contrast if the magical glow...”

“Hello Anastasia! I really like the concept behind your mermaid! That said, the main area to focus on is the anatomical structure. Regardless of whether you choose a highly rendered style or a simpl...”

“Hey Anhuang! What a great concept! The cloak is really original and creative! The anatomy in both the front and back views feels a little off, though. I'd recommend pushing the movement of the torso...”

“Hey, Anni! Thanks for sharing your work. The illustration is already quite interesting! The moon's current position definitely helps the horse's silhouette stand out, but it also makes the rider's h...”

“Hey Luca! As always, I like to start by making sure the character has a solid base, so I decided to adjust the overall pose. The arms, especially the right forearm, were a bit too short. The leg...”

“Hey, Buket! Cool submission! Pirates are always fun to draw! This is something I'll stress forever, but a solid base is what makes a painting look great. Before worrying about lighting or the mood o...”

“Hey Dark, cool submission! The light of the portal magic is going to affect that left side more, which is great for also getting a better read on the different metallic shapes of the armour in that ar...”

“I think you're on your way for developing that painterly yet realistic style you talked about. When you're heavy on storytelling and wondering what to refine, look at what needs refining in the first ...”
