How much TBT do you think my art is worth? Also give me some advice..?

[Aali]

I am so ashamed of how I draw. I draw and draw and it looks like a 7-year-old did it, not a 17-year-old. Also I use the term art loosely when it comes to my drawings.

So...yeah if I opened a shop how much tbt do you think these would be worth? Or not worth any tbt at all.


Also if anyone has any advice for improving. I can only do it on paper I don't have a drawing tablet or proper software nor can I afford those things.

I personally think the headshot is better.

Well, I don't want to come off rude, but at the moment, none.

1. They need more body
2. Shading/ lighting is an important factor
3. Eyes
4. Hair needs more flow

Just work on the above, and you should be fine!

Thanks. I've taken art classes when I went to public school and failed them miserably when it came to lighting and shading, but I'll try.

Great starting artwork! It looks way better than what I started out with. Honestly, I feel like you'll get somewhere someday, if you believe in yourself! A lot of people start with copying off artwork, so I think you should do that. It may help you develop different drawing styles. As of right now, though, (Please excuse me if I sound rude!) I'm not so sure your artwork is worth much.. But trust me, if you practice, one day you'll get there! I loved the headshot, by the way :3

If you want to get into digital art( where shading is easier) I'd reccomend both GIMP and Firealpaca.


Gimp is what I use for lineart. If you want to use this, come ask me about it because it is pretty confusing

Firealpaca is what I use for coloring. Its really simple.

EDIT: They are both free too

Thank you! I have been copying from Dragoart for about 2 years now. And I had a feeling it wouldn't be worth anything, you were not rude at all

I think you need to learn the basics starting from sketching the base/anatomy then start drawing details over it and adding face/hair/clothes later...
something like this? : http://rammsteirnails.deviantart.com/art/Proportions-sketch-tutorial-190147447

Right now (not to be rude like other people are saying) but it's not worth much at the moment, just needs some shading and stuff. It's actually better than my drawing though which sucks. But practice makes perfect!
