Critique my art pls

[spring nest]

I need to know how to improve

[wraith abyss]

too much shading on the face. too many lines on the hair. try working on blocking shapes out in the hair instead of making them all lines

also

[wraith abyss]

blood is not so clean

smudge the blood into the skin

[wraith abyss]

the ear placement is wrong too

[wraith abyss]

why are you using pure black to shade? it’s blinding everything

[wraith abyss]

clean up the edges of the coloring too

[wraith abyss]

and that neck is way too thick

i would draw over it to show you how to improve but i need your permisson

[spring nest]

You can don't worry

Here is the reference if you want

[spring nest]

Im too tired to do it today

I mean mostly the face

Might be better to just do an interpretation of the piece, this reference image already has a lot of bad habits and flaws present that you dont really want to copy. it may be better to just use he reference as your base line for the piece and do it in a cleaner style.

your version is quite accurate to the origonal so if you want to improve your work its best to just try to make it better than the refrence

[jovial nexus]

I got chu

[wraith abyss]

no worries but

how do i explain this

[wraith abyss]

it makes your faces look cakey

[spring nest]

maybe i just come back to this tommorow and it will be a lot easier

i fixed the neck and the ears (at least i think so)

[wraith abyss]

alright done so the hair, like, i didn’t spend much time on it, but the idea is like to break it down into shapes (if i had more time i would’ve done it properly but i hope the main idea is down there) but also try using saturated tones on the face like how i did

[wraith abyss]

but this, just so you know, it’s like the main idea, so it’s not perfect

alr?

[spring nest]

alr

[wraith abyss]

so kinda the idea yeah

[spring nest]

the hair is the main problem

[wraith abyss]

so like try to block it out

[wraith abyss]

like look at the reference

they didn’t draw each individual hair

they blocked it out with coloring

[spring nest]

yes but it is hell complicated

[wraith abyss]

trust me. it is. but, a simple way to do that is to draw some hair clumps and grab the gray color and make a bit more the shading

yk?

[spring nest]

i'll try tomorow

[wraith abyss]

good luck and happy drawing

and other than that

you are extremely talented

don’t take my words personally okay?

[spring nest]

I take them as advice

[wraith abyss]

alright have a good night then :))

[spring nest]

made it more saturated like u said

[wraith abyss]

YES!! THE SATURATION

[wraith abyss]

it’s beautiful

[spring nest]

[wraith abyss]

[wraith abyss]

bro

i am jealous!

[spring nest]

U are still better than me :))

[wraith abyss]

me better than you? in my dreams

i only know how to give advice because my drawings are way too stylized

like this is my artstyle:

[spring nest]

At lest you got your own style

Unlike me

[wraith abyss]

hehe i mean its fun

i see art as fun

and thats why i don’t do realism

i mean i can do realism

because earlier i was doing a male body study..

[wraith abyss]

DUDE

do u need help with that?

[spring nest]

I mean i did realizm because i had an idea

If i don't have an idea and i don't want to draw i just don't draw

For a drawing to be good you need to be passionate about it :D

[spring nest]

Nah

I will learn my style when i get more expirence

[wraith abyss]

ofc!! so true!!

[wraith abyss]

thats a good idea because

like they say “you can’t break the rules without knowing them.”

[spring nest]

True

[wraith abyss]

yeah
