Hi! I’m looking for feedback on my art, since I’m interested in commissions but I feel like I still need to improve. Any feedback for this?
[imoonbun is my main account.]
By the way, I’m new to the forum so if I didn’t put this post in the right category, let me know! Thanks for dropping by!
Looking back on this, I’m not sure if this art is considered inappropriate in any way for the forum just because her front isn’t fully covered, lmk if that’s true
Cute! It really doesn’t matter what your skill level is at when it comes to commissions since everyone has their own desires for how they want the art to “look”. Even if your style was incredibly realistic, someone might forgo it for a more cartoony style.
If you feel comfortable with how consistent you are with your art, feel free to start commissions!
On another note, this would fit more inside of art design support, rather than cool creations.
Thanks for letting me know, how do I change this?
You can’t without asking a forum manager, I believe. Don’t worry about it too much, you would just may get better results there instead of here.
I think you have a lot of green on green there lol. Try adding a few more colors to make the girl stand out, and it will be improved.
The character looks great but the background seems like it needs to be of slightly higher quality for it to blend in
It’s great! I really enjoy looking at it.
The girl in the foreground has very poor contrast, focusing all the intention on the brightly coloured background, which is the opposite of what you want when your girl is the focal point. Consider adding some highlights if you don’t want to add bright colours to her.
Though you got some great depth, your drawing is extremely flat, which is exaggerated by the poor contrast. If you want to make your work “stand out” consider adding some deep shadows!
One last thing, your girl doesn’t look like she belongs to the background (probably because you made the background separately, and just added her on top). To navigate this, consider consistency, this means using the same brushes for both the background, and your figure so they are united and look like they belong in the same composition.
(This doesn’t relate to improvement, since you probably wanted a unique touch on your trees. However, I find the trunks awkwardly thick, with the foliage way too close to the bottom.)
Summary: Pretty solid creation, I want to know what else you can do!
Overall, it’s really nice.
The main two issues are consistency and depth. I can see that the frog in the upper right corner has dark lineart, while the rest of the drawing is more pastel and faded. I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but it makes the frog stand out more. Try to be more consistent with your art style by picking a color palette and keeping the lineart uniform.
For depth, focus on the foreground, middleground, and background. As things are farther away, the become less detailed, lighter, and they have a blueish/purplish tinge to them.
Your background is a similar color to the girl, and the background is at the same level of detail as the foreground, if not more detailed. This takes the focus point off of the girl and can make the drawing appear a bit messy. You can make bring the girl stand out more by making the background less detailed (or you can use a gaussian blur), and making the colors more contrasting.
I really like your drawing. Your style is really cute, and the design is creative. I look forward to seeing your drawings in the future!
It was intentional, I was going to continue with the colored lineart, but the light colored frog + light lineart didn’t look good to me, so I left it black. I can agree though that it does make the frog stand out when the main focal point should be the girl.
