>>2339978
Really weak / awkward grip with right hand. Wrist is bent backwards a lot and pinky sticking out for no real reason. Holding up a piece of metal like that you would expect a very firm grip - straight wrist. The shoulder also seems quite far out to the side / low, almost disjointed.

Look at the negative space, around the arms, chest, legs, head, etc. A lot of the shapes are wrong. There's some bad angles, things look disproportionate. Spend a lot longer measuring.

Some thoughts:

Some big anatomical errors that I did not fix all of. Arm too short, (if her left arm is supposed to be facing the viewer, it's drawn very awkwardly) body too stumpy, probably too meaty around the waist (unless that's what you were going for, but the character isn't SUPPOSED to be fat so I assume you weren't going for that) awkward shoulder placements, which in turn makes the titties out of place which I did not touch, boring values (everything is too mid-tone even with all that shading) the unappealing face, the inconsistency of the wind with the hair and fabric on the bottom, inconsistent lightsource (light is hitting the hair/face/body from the left but also light from her back if you look at the upper thigh) You could also work on the expression to something more heroic (I kept it neutral with mouth open as original pic) and a lot of other things.

>>
>>2340716
It's very high key at the moment, which really takes away from the glow of whatever she is holding and the forge. I would try maybe making anything not hit by warm light to be a couple value notches down. Also given how opaque and hard all the shapes are, just doing a very subtle soft brush colour dodge over the glowing stick would probably really make it pop.

>>
>>2340907
The thing is that the light source you're using is pretty damn close to white, so that base color selection pretty much deems the brightness
from there it's just adjusting the values of the shadows (and/or the light source) and color correcting

At this level, don't think about what your style "really is". It is time wasted. Style comes with time and style changes with time. At this point you struggle even with the fundamentals. If you start worrying about style now, you will never get anywhere. Just learn to draw, draw what you find aesthetically pleasing. Forget about style.

clear understanding of form and except for lack of a pelvis its decent anatomy. Theres much worse people in the regular threads that go under the radar. how long are people supposed to stay in the beginner thread. more than a year?

>>2341061
its actually more akin to
>learn to stand before you learn to double backflip
>>
>>2341115
>clear understanding of form
>decent anatomy

I beg to differ. First of all he is trying to twist the torso but does not understand form enough to show what is in front of what, what is pulling from where and what's compressing and tilting. In order to do it more convincingly he needs to study anatomy as understanding the how and why and where things are and where they're being pulled from will help describe form much better but before that he also needs to understand perspective as well as provide a graceful and unstiff figure.
>>
>>2341121
there CLEARLY is AN understanding of form. Not a good one. but you can clearly see it. besides are you still saying that there isnt anyone worse in this thread (op image) that somehow got a free pass to being sent to the beginner thread unnecessarily?

>there CLEARLY is AN understanding of form. Not a good one.

would you maybe call it a beginner's level understanding of form? that's kind of what it looks like to me! i appreciate that you're livening up the board a bit, but i agree with the other poster in that i find it weird that you tell people to 'graduate' up and out of the beginner's thread when you don't post a whole lot of art yourself. of course, like you say, no one can take away your right to recommend people to and from each thread, but i feel like your time would be better spent drawing instead, especially when you seem like you're just barely out of the beginner's thread yourself :o

Those colors don't go well together, i would recommend you to use Soft brushes.
i would prefer.
i would prefer a black top, green-dark camouflage jeans,

>>
>>2342330
You can git gud by drawing nothing but stylized works as long as you're keeping the principles in mind.
As long as you're not through random shit on your animus and you're keeping anatomy in mind while periodically looking at (preferably real) references to figure out anatomy you'll learn both anatomy while also refining the style you enjoy.

You gotta train lots of fundamentals. I recommend trying Vilppu, Bridgeman and Loomis as well as Proko's videos on YouTube. Figure drawing practice, lots of it, also aim for more confident lines. Most of all, keep drawing

Get proper blank paper to draw on. I also recommend the beginner thread

I like this. I think the composition could use some work though. Unless you're saving that upper portion for a title or words or something I would crop it. I added some more room to the left and bottom of her to give some breathing room. It could use a foreground as well for some more depth. I added a lighter color to connect the girl and flowers and to make her silhouette stand out some more. The rest I just played around with placing colors in different places.

>>
>>2342638
Anysite that allows you to see a bulk of the persons work via thumbnails and they can pick and choose what they want to see with ease is a good art site. Tumblr lacks this and god forbid you are one of those faggot who repost random shit or other people's work more than their own shit. Not to mention people who go all Myspace and have crazy themes and music players slowing down the process.
People hate to scroll through shit. So if someone stumbles upon something you did, trace you to your tumblr wanting more, and they're faced with nothing but scrolling, they close the tab.
The archive mode helps a bit when the artist isn't a repost fiend, hashtags do help a lot but it's not like the archive mode where everything is small and selectable. You end up back to scrolling through pages and pages and unless you really have nothing better to do most people get irked and leave.
>>
>>2342654
Most people have a Tumblr as a more social way of sharing your art and then have a professional portfolio blog like the one you've described. Tumblr is just a good way to find artists and get found. The thing about Tumblr is that a lot of people seem to only focus on singular blogs, when the pull of it is the constantly updating dashboard. It's not about what you have 10 pages back on your blog, it's about what you're putting on other people's dashboard right now.

People complain about good artists that reblog stuff instead of just posting their art, but these kind of people are great. One of my friends who has something over 10k followers and contacts with people at Disney reblogged a dumb short film I made and my follower count increased immensely. It turns making contacts into the gift that keeps giving, people sharing your work removes some of the trouble of actually networking.

>Comparing yourself to a pro athlete
Yeah sure I'll bite.
Shit comments like that or "why don't you make your own" or anything along those lines is childish. The person saying it can't handle the thing they like or in this case their own drawing being criticized harshly so they jump to a line to shut the person up so the feel comfortable again.
Telling someone who criticized a millionaire who throws a ball if they could do it too is illogical. That rich asshole has had years of training and still sucks when compared to his peers, the person pointing this out is did not have the years of training but still have the their own personal tastes to say whether not not that person is garbage.
Just like how your drawings are shit you still give critiques and advice because despite your lack of skill and practice you still have a level of taste and an eye for art.
But you still get but hurt when you see harsh critiques give towards others or yourself and like a little kid you go "Well, show your work."
Childish safety mechanism for your ego.
The people who shit on others around here are no better because they're mostly harsh due to not being able to excel in some way shape or form. But they too have taste and an eye for art to have an opinion no matter how tactless.
>>
>>2342866
Wait a minute, if you're doing this for attention so that people will tell you what's wrong with your work, why do you always deflect their criticism by saying post your work or go down some other line of defending what you drew?

But these people would rather insult the person than the critique.

Doesnt change the fact that the pro athlete doesnt suck. doesnt change the fact that my comments are legitimate ( which is why nobody critiques my comments) but i am not ( but the people who have the time to insult me dont have the skill to critique)
