your arts real refreshin', like a spring breeze !
'Cept (There's always a 'cept somewhere) I see hands ain't your strong suit. Quite perplexin', hands are. Their strange long digits are creepy and palms so uncomfortably large, so you try with decent palms but stubby fingers.
BUT NO WORRY! BILLY MAYS HERE WITH ANOTHER FANTASTIC PRODUCT.

ABOVE YOU CAN SEE THE ACTION OF RED AND BLUE LINES, INTEGRAL TO THE CREATION OF EYE-BURNING SKY BLUE LINES.
IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE FINGERS ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE! CRAZY, HUH?
ok but seriously. This is what I do to create hands. Other than that I advise you to try drawing RL hands from RL pictures (keeping your hand in place is sorta hard :B)
And even more seriously, you have lots of potential. Would love to see you shine bright from the master's seat

God bless u billy mays
But seriously thank you for the advice! Normally whenever I draw hands I used this method in which you draw a box for the palm, then you draw off little boxes coming from the centre box, and smaller boxes until you've got the general shape of each finger. But i'll definitely be giving your method a go, since I really am horrible at drawing hands omg.
But awww thank you so much! ;u; I've never really been told my art style is unique and different as such. It's nice to hear it!
Since you asked for critique, I'd like to go ahead and point some stuff out.
Pros:
On the good side, your art is definitely beginning to flourish. There's a style there that is so close to being visualized that it's almost palpable.
Personally I like the sketchy, flat shaded pieces. They show your workflow quite well.
The creative side of what you're drawing is right on point. It almost seems like you're holding yourself back from some interesting designs because you're not sure the ideas will work. Either way, the content is definitely fetching.
Cons:
Now when I say con, I don't mean bad. First things first, let's focus on your use of color. While your line work is strong in a conceptual way, I'd personally like to see something of a finished product with color making up your change of value instead of black pen. You have a talent here, and stretching out into that kind of change may be an extra oomph to your already beautiful pieces.
Your proportions are a bit off on some, but good in others. Studying pose and body language may greatly benefit your work.
Suggestions:
Take a little more time per piece. Even if it's a sketch, look at it and think about what colors you can add, or creative additions you can do to give it that pizzazz that screams "my style." Style is something difficult to get down, and if you keep cracking at it you'll reach something in no time.
Experiment with background and perspective. I'd like to see some finished pieces!
Other than that this is pretty solid. Good work.

Thank you so much! I found this to be super helpful. c: I'll totally try to draw a background scene some time soon, or maybe a full body piece as practice. Sometimes I use different coloured lines instead of black, but since you mention it i'll try to use non-black lines for my finished versions from now on I think.
Have you considered no lines at all? It could work very well with your style to just use value (fill color) on value. It usually makes for a higher contrast piece which would work lovely with your choices and concepts. Have fun with it and let me know when you get something up.
You've got an interesting gallery here so far and I'm interested in watching your work grow.

holy christ your headshots for dragons are nice.. could you let me know or ping me @cheezyfries if you ever decide to open a shop/sell them? thank you so much!

@Caius - I've never really considered that. I may give it a go one time. If I'm honest I'm not too much of a fan of completely line-less art but sometimes it can come out really good! So I'll try. Thank you!
@cheezyfries - awww thank you! I don't really have any intention of selling my art here on TBT though. Sorry!

I had a blood test today so I doodled a ACNL version of Primrose to make me feel better.

Felt like posting the Scalemate doodle by itself omg
Hopefully i'll be able to work on that large sketch tonight!

I've tried to line this so many times...
In the end I've decided just to go with a clean sketch instead.
I'll colour it.

I can't seem to have nice smooth shading for the life of me.
I am getting a little impatient and bored now so I'll guess I'll continue tomorrow, and hopefully make it have nicer shading.

Smooth shading is overrated. Mix those colors, create beautiful tones, show your brush strokes. You can easily get some amazing incandescence from the tail by mixing oranges, blues and greens in strategic places. Bring the environmental colors into your character. Make them shine.

@Bwazey - No, and I don't intend to.
@Caius - I've never really thought about mixing colours but I'll give that a try. I think it'll look nice! c:

I've passed my english retake! I've improved by two grades (almost three grades I was one mark away from an A, but I don't really care about that I'm just glad I don't have to do english again.)
So I drew my favourite pastel demon trash Pandora.
I was gonna shade but stomach cramps kicked in so no more arts for tonight i guess

I don't intend to ever sell my art on here but...
If you were to give me a rough estimate of my art worth, what would it be?
TBT is fine, but if you can, also give a rough ?/$ estimate too?

I promised y'all a large piece but I've totally lost my muse for it.
The shading was going horribly in my opinion, and all in all I just... I don't know? I didn't like the idea anymore so I just finished off Velia and was done with it...
I feel bad honestly.
I wanna try and make a large piece again but this time I think it deserves more planning. And me having to look up a guide to shading because I suck at shading.
The bad thing is I want to become a webcomic artist.
