So I just randomly decided to post drawings of mine that are inspired by my books and many other things! Because one of these takes at least a day, I'll be posting pictures at random long intervals. They're probably not very good, and I always appreciate feedbacks!

I'm back with yet another one! It took something like 4 hours to work on, and by midnight I was absolutely drained. I also feel like this is something I got too excited with and messed up. It is my first attempt with drawing anything related with fire whatsoever, and I do really need some feedbacks on this one.
Starting with this sad rough sketch :
And adding more details on to that sad sketch :
Some actual progress... :
Just mentioning this now, but the layers were seriously messed up with this one. Sorry... :
Let there be color. Bad colors. I have no idea... :
And some bad shading.
More bad shading. As mentioned before, I got too excited on the hair. I always get too excited with the hair...
In my personal opinion, that is the best tunic I have ever colored. Probably because I never did one before.
Some orange/yellow/red tint to the skin. Because who doesn't love that.
Finally the finished product! I'm really unsure about this one, would really appreciate some comments/feedbacks.
What if I fall and hurt myself, would you know how to fix me? What if I went and lost myself, would you know where to find me? If I forgot who I am, would you please remind me, because without you things go hazy.
Hm, if I give some thoughts on your stuff would you give some on my recent stuff? If not meh, either way. Going to focus only on flaws that I see, I am not saying anything is bad, just trying to bring flaws I see to your attention.
picture 1: Wonderful hair detailing, awkward pose with disproportionate arms. I suggest you do more to outline the nose details. The detail you are putting into the shirt is at odds with the skin, making a weird contrast of detail levels. You need to work on your horizon line understanding, the thumbs should not be shrinking like that. There is no direction to the lighting, it looks like he is being perfectly lit in all directions. That is possible but does not make sense to the final draft image.
picture 2: Jaw line seems to be going too far back, the jaw eventually levels out with the neck, even in fit people it will stop when the jaw stops, you made it look like it it just keeps going far past where the jaw bone would end. Unless we are looking at him from a angle his collar line should not be doing what its doing. The rest of your proportions imply we are looking directly at his side. Again no signs of where the light is coming from. It looks like he is being perfectly lit at all angles. Personally I think you made the line work for those wounds far too thick, almost all the detail you originally put in that arm is gone replaced it a over done mess of red. But that's just my preference.
picture 3: I really like it, no real noticeable flaws I see worth pointing out.
picture 4: Glorious hair. Awkward arm and hand posing. The body shouldn't be posed like that if his hands and arms are like that. You are really good at hair texturing. Feather texturing however, it looks a bit too washed out. You need more definers I think.
Self quoting is the key to sounding wise and all knowing.
@Zolen Thank you for the feedback! All of your critiques were very helpful and let me see in detail what I could fix. Really, thank you so much. I'll do my best to go look at your works! It'll probably be tomorrow or later today.
When sketching in Artrage (the program I used for all of these paintings), I usually make two layers first. In the bottom layer, I use the pencil tool with a light color and do the rough sketch. In the top layer, I use a darker colored pencil tool (still) and add more details before outlining!
I'm back with another artwork! Sorry if this is a bit disturbing, but this one actually has a story behind it.
A good friend of mine requested that she wanted a drawing done of her dog playing in the rain, out on a field. I tried to draw it for so many hours that by my 7th attempt (at 1 am) I was pretty sure I had anger management problems. So, before throwing my tablet across the room, I thought : Why not draw her something else... that's related?
So here it is. It is a representation of what I felt like while attempting and failing to draw a dog playing in the rain.
I sort of experimented with this one. I didn't do an outline, just the color then shading. Pretty sure it turned out presentable only because all the colors were grayscale...
Okay, enough rambling!
The sketch, of course! Can never forget the sketch.
More details!
And the final product! Yes, sorry, it's just three pictures...
So there it is : the product of pure frustration! I like to call it 'Guhh'. Lovely title, I know.
Hey guys! I'm sorry that this isn't a new drawing, but I just thought to tell you that I probably won't be drawing for a while now. Not like months, but more like a week or so. I'm so busy that I can't even get on my computer once a day.
Sorry, again! See you with another drawing next time!
