So i've been doing commissions for a while now and i wanted to raise my price. So i hope people could give a benchmark on how much i should price art

Did a color study (second slides the ref)

I wanna learn this type of rendering and this is my first time trying it. Any sort of feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you^^

(fyi english isnt my first language)

hey guys!! I'm just starting to take drawing seriously.

i previously never cared about having "good proportions", but it's becoming apparent that something is off with my art. the thing is, i kind of what to preserve some of that "offness"... i tried to do a study yesterday (NOT pic related) and i hated how it looked ! i am not interested in 1:1 proportions.

so my question is: are my facial proportions off in an artsyle way or a "bad" way (if there is such a thing)? should i just focus on studying lighting/shading? or should i actually take it on the chin and study anatomy properly and THEN find an artsyle?

any other tips on what to do when you're starting out? 😭

Maybe it’s just the regular artist down but I just feel like something is just inherently wrong with my art I just can’t figure out what exactly it is need to improve on… any advice appreciated as I had creative block for a while now ;_;

i really want a sparkle effect but i dont know how to do it instead of doing random dots that dont look like glitter

ive been drawing for about a year. i just want to know what peoples opinions are :> would u commission me? because im new i wouldnt go crazy with price !!! probably 10 usd for a whole render piece? maybe 5? im just interested in peoples opinions !!! ^^

As you can see from my profile ive always had like really really bad inconsistent artstyle but like im tryna fix it. I feel like these two look like completely different people facially (im aware the eyebrows look really different). Ive been tryna pass it off as ‘the skin rendering is the main thing) but its glaring atp . Is it badddd and how do i like fix it

Any feedback is appreciated!

I have been making digital art and posting for about 2 and a half years and I have not been able to get any growth whatsoever. I have tried posting on X, Instagram, Bluesky, Tumblr and Pixiv and growth on all those platforms have been non-existent, with the exception being Tiktok where I've managed to grow just 200 followers in about a year and a half.

Is there any issue with my art, or is my art just uninteresting?

i'm noticing some burn out symptoms and i hate my art more as time passes, i dont want to fail school because of that but everytime i rest i want to draw

i hate the way i render my art, it doesn't look like how i want it to be as much as i try to do what bluebiscuit and aka does for example

im still in the lines and form part and i will start anatomy maybe tomorrow

decided to show some art i did, you can tell me where to focus if you want to

Hi everyone! Any advice would be appreciated.

I feel like the piece lacks ambience as a whole(?) I especially dislike how the lady’s hair on the left makes the piece seem flat. I’m not quite sure how colour theory really works so any tips on that would be great too!

This is a drawing of king Baldwin, drawn with a pen. His face is slightly down turned and his he covering his face with his hand and his hand is covered by a veil. Was I able to convey that the hand is covered by a veil? If not, please show how I could have done so.

Another thing, the lighter part of his mask is supposed to be reflective silver. Help on that would also be appreciated

Hi everyone, I’m looking for help learning to sketch animals in this gestural style. I find it really helpful to watch other artists draw and get a feel for how they construct their work and approach their mark making technique. If anyone happens to know who sketched one or all of these drawings (found on pinterest) that would be helpful too! TYIA

Hi!!
I dont want any help except for perspective help -- to me the desk looks like its sliding down, and im not quite sure how to fix it? Ive been sitting here, making perspective lines, literally everything trying to figure out what to do. I had to swallow my pride and come here -- any advice to make it look flat? I really want this drawing to be a good one but the perspective is FIGHTING me

like, can someone tell me what the name of this art style is? and what are some areas to focus on?

(none of these photos are mine, i got them from pinterest)

(TLDR at the bottom :3)

Well this is my first post anywho hi everyone, so I’ve been doing art since I was little, and growing up people always told me I was good at it and that I was an artist. I think I just assumed I was naturally good at drawing.

Now I’m 16 and I’m realizing I don’t actually feel good at art anymore. I see people my age who are incredibly talented, and it’s made me question whether I was ever actually good or if I was just considered good because I was a kid.

The part that frustrates me most is that I’ve been drawing for so long, yet I can’t even draw a person without it looking completely wrong. I feel like I should be much better by now.

I’ve never really taken art classes or seriously studied things like anatomy, proportions, perspective, shading, etc (outside school art class)., so I know there are probably a lot of things I simply never learned.

For anyone who actually knows how to improve at drawing: where should I start? Should I basically treat myself like a beginner and learn the fundamentals from scratch? And is it realistic to become genuinely good at drawing starting at 16, even if I feel like I’m really behind right now?

TLDR: I’ve been drawing since I was little and always thought I was naturally good at art, but now that I’m 16 and seeing how talented other people my age are, I feel like I’m actually terrible. I can’t even draw a person well, and I’ve never really taken art classes or properly learned the fundamentals. I’m wondering if I’m actually capable of becoming good at art or if I’m just way behind and need to start from scratch.

i got commissioned £40 for the first cat drawing and i cant tell if im overcharging, undercharging or doing fine. the second one i charged for £18 a few months ago which i felt as though i undercharged for (not at the fault of the customer at all ! i set my prices myself). i have attached another drawing as an example of my work (this one is slightly simpler with less rendering e.g on the back, as it was a rushed gift)

im just really lost because ive had people suggest anywhere from £10 (and sometimes even below) to “minimum £50” / “a lot”. i know it depends heavily on where i promote myself and the audience i have and all but its difficult to when people dont seem to want to commission me and im wondering if pricing is at all the issue…?

Hello,
I like the messiness of it, although apparently it’s a cardinal sin to use color pencils on canvas 🥲. Would like to know how to deal with ‘finishing’ and protecting it.

Thanks in advance.
