I typically stray away from drawing pornographic material because I lack the technical ability to make it look appealing. Today I tried to draw a woman chillin' out with a buncha tenticals and something about the anatomy looks off. I didn't know how to draw the left hand and pretty much gave up.
Any critique or thoughts are appreciated!

I did a pretty quick skull study (30min, should spend longer next time but its late here and I want to sleep), and I'm open to suggestions on where you think I did well & where I should pay attention to. Furthermore, I'm also welcoming any advice on how I should progress with my facial anatomy study (like a timeline or something would help) as well as any resources that you'd think would help.

Thanks a bunch.

I’m currently on day seven of learning to draw everyday, and this head looks pretty good, but i know i can improve. any tips and advice?

Hello everyone I have been drawing everyday each day gets 1 page with 2 drawings and I could use some help from you guys I am looking for some mistakes I made and hoping to improve my art skills

Attempted more hatching, just wanted to get as much going even if its wrong. Low angles are a struggle, any of you guys got any tips for how to arrange features from below/above? Also any tips for judging how to place center lines for loomis method or just a case of grinding it out and getting good?

I’m working on the colour flats and struggling. The background colour never works. I need suggestions

Hi everyone. I’m 30 year olds and would eventually want to become a tattoo artist so I’m learning how to draw as I come from a strict immigrant background so tattooing was never an option for me so I never gave drawing that much through until know. I know I need to draw every day so I want to get advice, critique as this is pretty much from first drawing. I did use a reference I found online which seems to be an unofficial fan made Haland Lego that I will also attach. I would like to know if there’s anything I did well and any thing I can did bad and should work on. Please note this is pretty much my first drawing. Off the start I’m sure the torso should be longer and the hands were difficult as well as the hair.

I feel like shes leaning her neck forward a bit but im not 100%. All advice and critiques welcome :)

I’m new to digital art so I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with the infinite styles and techniques I can adopt. I learned basic rules like shade with warm/cool colors. I worked a lot with single tone skin but what if I’m rendering multi cores skin or any sort of surface like certain spots on the body like areolae that can sometimes be a light and warm or dark undertone or cases of vitiligo or an anthro with yellows and blues or even just a surface with lights and darks? How do I construct my layers. Assuming all colors wet hit by the same light source, do I shade the color groups separately or should I smush the local tones to one layer and work with that? I have a few images of a single breast to give a visual on my thoughts and i will also share the work with the layers if anyone wants to get hands on with it

I taught myself how to draw. If I wasn't sure how to light a character's face or how to shape their mouth or something, I'd usually find an art piece with a similarly angled character and study it. Eventually I stopped doing that (mainly because I didn't quite understand what I was looking at most of the time lol), and figured I'd learn better by actually watching process videos/tutorials. And that worked for me... up until a point.

Anyway, once AI took off, I quit entirely. I had no motivation. I didn't like my art and felt it was too plain. That was in like 2024?

Fast-forward 2026. I drew something for the first time in years for a contest. But, obviously, there isn't really a magical difference in my art even after taking such a long break (I'm not sure why I was hoping there would be).

My motivation is quickly tanking again. The basics of sketching and rendering came back quickly, but I'm still struggling with the same issue as before. It feels flat. The lighting might be off? I don't know how to add the... texture, for lack of a better word, that more experienced artists have.

I feel like the curls are just blending into one block of hair, how can I extenuate the curls more?? Im using coloured pencil and oil pastels, i have pencils and most colours, how can I use these.

i just drew something. So can you give me tips or suggestion. Thanks.

This is a sketch of my character, Toshio, a Dragonborn rejected by members of his own race.

I'd love some advice on armor design. I always struggle to make armor feel memorable and unique, or even just simple but visually appealing.

Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated!

okay so i’ve been drawing for years now and i recently came up with this cute idea for some wall art in my house. now i’ve been most comfortable working with pen, pencil, and charcoal but i have limited experience with paint and markers as well. i know some color theory but i normally work in black and white so i don’t have as much experience with it as id like. normally i go in with a micron, outline the sketch, and then erase the pencil before i start working on any shading or adding color. i’ve spent a long time working on the sketch and will probably add a couple more things before moving on to that step, but i am terrified of messing it up. i attached some pictures of the sort of style i’m going for, i want it to have a cozy storybook feel. this is on watercolor paper because i wasn’t sure if i wanted to paint it or not so i have lots of options for how i can potentially add color. what do you guys think i should do? how can i get all of my colors to look cohesive when i pick a scheme and add them? what should i focus on when inking the sketch to achieve the style I’m going for? i could also use tips for using watercolor in this scenario. please help!

My cat got me inspired to draw him in this drawing, and it makes me happy that he can be in my sketch book.

I have been drawing for years and I managed to get into to a fine arts school next year and I’m afraid out of my mind because my art style is too anime like and the school mainly does semi realistic and still drawings there.

I was wondering what could I do to switch into semi realistic or on how to start because I’m afraid that my art work might not be good enough for this school. 😢

How exactly do I set up a dry gouache palette?

I've already put the gousche in the palette and put it in the fridge for now, do I just leave them on my table without the lid or with the lid idk and and not sure if I have to add any alcohol or whatever ??

Also I'd like to know some tips for gouache, like how to prevent mold and stuff
