Have I improved?

[Money Hunter]

Mar 15ish:

Now:

Help me by answering these questions:

1. Have I improved?

2. If I have, by what margin?

3. How can I work on it?

4. Do you think I'm improving at a slow/average/fast pace? (Choose one and explain.)

I know this sounds like some weird quiz but please I really want to know if I'm doing well or if there are certain things I need to work on that are preventing me from getting better ;-;

i will try to asnwer these to the best of my ability for you, but keep in mind i am not a good art critic

1. Have I improved? yes

2. If I have, by what margin? a bit of a small margin; however, there is DEFINITE progress

3. How can I work on it? this is where im not so good -- the critique part lol. anatomy absolutely, expressions (eye shapes), basically everything needs work -- however! youre doing a good job with starting to pose! i applaud you for branching out and trying a new pose instead of continuing to use something static try to make the pose more fluid, to work with the body more. look up anatomy tutorials, try going off of reference photos. tracing stock photos is fine! get a feel for it! feel how the body works. (just dont claim it as your own/give credit haha) there are TONS of free stock photos/pose references to use. ive used them myself. it does help. so keep trying! i cannot comment on the coloring/shading as i do not do that, but my advice would be to find a solid light source and follow that.

4. Do you think I'm improving at a slow/average/fast pace? (Choose one and explain.) i cannot answer this. everyone's pacing is different, and what might be fast to me might be slow to someone else. so i really dont know.

good luck!! i hope my advice wasnt **** lmao
