here are my feet studies vs my shoe studies, I got countless more but this is what they all look like 🫠

I feel like Ive got a good grasp on human anatomy and like I improve quite quickly when I really put myself to it, My feet studies arent perfect but i never struggle with them and in turn Id expect atleast a good basic level with shoes but I cannot grasp them for some reason, at this point my shoes are worse than my hands. Some of them are from imagination, others a quick sketch with a reference.

I know all the important spots of feet: inward upward curve on the inside, squarish back part with the ankles , that slight w curve at the top on the bottom side, calf curving outward,know what the bones look like , but I cant ever get the shoes right because they seems to have a certain curve that follows the foot ofc, but idkkkkkkk

is it maybe the foreshortening? Im im pretty good at foreshortening so i wouldnt know why this is such a big hurdle for me.

So does anybody have any neat tricks to capture the general shape or should I just study more and look into how shoes are made? Im pretty sure I know the most important parts of them, I sometimes watch satisfying shoe maker videos lol

For the last 6 months , draw the boxes, cubes, rendered the orbs, practiced anatomy at best i can, but i still feel like i'm missing something. I can't spot what it is, is it the lack of style? Is it because i can't make the material look like what i want? Do i just need to practice more? Am i unable to refine the lines between? Any help is appreciated.
(Background does not belong to me.)

Can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it😭 I’m pretty new to dijital art and never had to draw lashes apparently. I don’t care if it’s stylized or not, I just need her eyes to not look bald😔

I wanna make the first girl look like the second. But I can't??? I made both the drawings btw

I’ve taken a 1 month pause since I started this drawing, I CANNOT for the life of me make him look nice. It’s the first time I draw an anime character

Hi! I wanted to see if anyone knew how exactly the artists go about doing a couple things in this image. There’s like 3 things, being, how is the hair rendered, how are the reeds in both the foreground and the background done, and how is that water done. Is there some like hidden trade secret method? It looks great and I want to know the process.

hi im a fully self taught artist and ive been neglecting colors and values for awhile and im now trying to improve it. This is a doodle i did just to practice but i would like any advice on what i can change or im doing wrong. i can show more of my art if any of you want examples, in a video i was told to draw in grayscale as it will help and it has but i still feel like my shadow placement is terrible but also it just doesn't look how im going for, muddy and still flat looking. I struggle even harder with lighting. Anything helps !

for more context i use clip studio paint ! ur free to draw over anything if u think that'll help. Also i do practice on shapes as well this was one of my first times trying on an actual sketch i made.

I guess I ruined it more with the white liner..I have the bad habit of ruining something I made more when I think I've made it in a bad way

anything would be greatly appreciated!

Digital piece i'm drawing for somebody.

Wanted this to look like it's about a fun, slightly whimsical but mostly cute and goofy adventure. How did I manage?

I’m still working on the arm placement and I haven’t added all of the details to the dress but does anything look off to you? It looks a little weird for me but I can’t tell what it is

(A photo of my cat tucked in bed at the end)

I’m really curious about other artists opinion of my estimated level since i have never really interacted with other artists before hehe

-I’m more of a traditional artist and i just recently started doing digital this year and let me tell you.. it’s hard work

You can probably see the lack of coloring skills, weak knowledge of color theory ,I don’t know yet where to put hard and soft edges and I have a lot of things to work on

I would like critique from fellow artists !! Even brutal ones are appreciated :>

I started drawing a few days ago again and im trying to improve my drawings, using references and from my imagination, at start it always feels like its going well and after i want to see the clear picture, i feel like the length of the torso is too long , like something is off, any advice?

I just began drawing digitally, and I am trying to make it look more like the chibiusa drawing (the pink magical girl)

A mindless doodle turned into this and now I’m scared to continue lol. The minute I start to give a damn I absolutely lose all artistic knowledge. So now I don’t know what to do next so I’ve put it down, but I’d love to see your versions or ideas just for funsies! I’m self taught so sometimes doing art is like pulling teeth; for me it’s mostly willpower and hope that I’ll get good that keeps me going. This is one of the few things I’ve been able to wrench from my imagination but I need some help from fellow artists!

So please, if you want to, draw this in your style, or draw over it in my own style or whatever! I wanna see (please!)

I’m a beginner in painting and I wasn’t quite sure what I can paint here lol. Does anyone have any ideas?

I want to start by saying that despite the title this isn’t a rant, I just need some guidance.

So I feel like I’ve hit a plateau in art and I’m currently not improving as fast as I used, I’m even considering trying a course, either Marc Brunet’s course of Sungmoo Heo’s colosso course. I also don’t know if I should relearn my fundamentals from the start or do something else. Like I said, I’m really lost and don’t really know what to do right now, plus it doesn’t help that I haven’t drawn traditionally in MONTHS.

I’ve tried getting into a new stage in my art journey, like drawing more background and architecture and improving my rendering. But as I’m reaching 21 I’m really stressed about not reaching my goals in “time” (by the way I know that art isn’t about age but not reaching a certain level at a certain age really stresses me out, as I’ve been drawing pretty much my whole life). I’m awere that art is a journey but I really want to start commissioning and having more projects.

It also doesn’t help that life lately has been EXTREMELY harsh on me, which I do realise has a huge impact on my mental health. But anyway, if you have any advice please help me😓.

(Does are my recent sketches)

This took me maybe 30 mins, btw i meant as reference

some examples of my art pls i needa know how oky 😢😢😢
