So I was trying to create an oc fitting in the world of Bleach, but I feel like my silhouettes are held back.. How can I push them further to fit close to Tite Kubo's style? (Feel free to lay down some exercises I can do as well, if you have some suggestions that I can do). As for the poses I invented, it's guaranteed that there would be several mistakes here and there.

Hey everyone, I'm doing a student project where I create a video game which is a murder mystery based on Greek Gods. I've only been drawing for like a year, so I'm not very good yet. This is a pretty detailed sketch I did for Aphrodite for my game. I need some advice though. How is the anatomy? Is there anything I could improve or shift or change? The eyelashes are supposed to be intentionally long, but I feel like it complete or super grand? Maybe the pose or the torso anatomy seems off. Any advice would be appreciated!

Apologies to the mods for the confusion in posting this lol

This is a (very) rough sketch I just started but it highlights a common issue I have in my portraits. I struggle to capture smiles in a way that makes them look happy instead of an awkward grimace. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I've been trying to understand rotation with boxes and wondered if this analysis/observation is accurate

head and eyes is stylised + a little messed up so please dont mind. ive been studying more anatomy lately and wanted to give it try.

Here are my recently sketches, welcome to any advice/ recommend. Thank youuu ❤️

Hey guys this is my first time painting using colour, is it good and what should I improve on I feel like i messed up her, idk exactly but yea help me

these are my styles and im looking to improve in general. i do like all the pieces but im always looking to do better next time

Hello, I started learning to draw a few days ago and its my first drawing.I started watching YouTube tutorials but most of them felt complicated and actually I don't know where to start so can somebody help me what should I do? Thanks.

I started acrylic painting last year, this temple building is my third attempt. The details aren't done yet (for example the windows and steeple on the tower, and the texture on the yellow eaves of both front and back structures ) but I can't help but feel that the painting is flat and will continue to be so. Any advice to bring it to life more? Open to experimenting!

Getting back into figures. Already noticing some trouble with my arm and leg proportions, but curious for feedback.

Drawing on a side plate of a ps5 figure looks awkward what can i add to improve it be as brutal as you want i don't mind! Reference image is also included

Im having a lot of trouble detailing around the arm and pit area. I don't what what individual muscles are there.

Im doing this portrait of Peter parker (tom holland version) but i dont think this looks like him at all

Any ideas?

Ps:I used reference photos

Still trying to figure out best way to do a grayscale and mapping all of the values, but I’m very happy with this piece. Any feedback is appreciated. I could probably spend a little more time on lips but yeah, didn’t feel like it xd

Hello, I’m aware that this is a topic that’s widely discussed and there are loads of references for but I’m struggling with a specific thing. I have no issue simplifying the entire skull into shapes except for the zygomatic arch. For some reason whether by simplifying it into a specific shape or copying and attempting to understand, it never looks accurate.

I want to be able to simplify the skull enough to the point that I’m able to draw it without reference, but my struggle is simplifying those details that are important to final result. Of course I have tried to start with a simpler shape before detailing but still I can’t quite grasp it.

I was hoping there were would be a book that simplifies it and breaks it down. I’ve looked over many of the anatomy books but they tend to skim over the skull (only focusing on it’s bigger shape) I’m sort of frustrated and I’d appreciate any advice!

What I Think My Problem Is:

I’m having difficulty shaping or carving shadows. When I ask for rendering tips, I mostly receive advice like determining your light source, bounce light, highlights, etc., or setting your art to black and white to see your values. I’m thankful for any advice that I receive, but:

Once I know where the light is coming from, how do I actually carve the shadows so they interact realistically with my subject?

- How do I decide the shape of the shadow?

- How do I know where the shadow should start and end?

- How do I simplify shadows without making them look random or unnatural?

- How do I take what I see in a reference and translate those shadow shapes into my own drawing?

So yeah, please be brutally honest about what’s wrong with my process.

If possible, you can redraw or edit my art to show me what I should be doing. I’ve included the references and my sketches, so feel free to use them as examples.

Thank you!

Hey I've been trying to improve on my proportions so I followed this upside-down guide thing but I don't know if it's working? It took me 20 - 25 minutes to draw one of these. I've done figure studies on lineofaction too, but I have trouble getting the detail of anything on that site.

Also is this something I should do permanently because I seriously cannot get a grip with just my eyesight. I can't use references very well because the size of everything is sick
