Lightspring’s art? dump updated 1/24

[Lightspring]

I downloaded ibisPaint X and drew my AC character for the first time.

​

There were a lot of things I could have done better, but I don’t think it’s too bad for the first time drawing digitally. I’m open to constructive criticism I want to hear you destroy me as I am only a beginner.

Edit 1/24/20: I started getting back into art! I’ll seldomly post every now and then c:

oh this is so cute!! i’m not sure about pricing as i don’t draw nor do i order from art shops very often but i’d definitely be interested in commissioning you should you ever decide to open up shop! ^_^

Thank you! It means a lot to me! I still need practice drawing and getting used to the mechanics, but I probably will open a shop up!

This looks super cute! I'm not an artist myself so idk much about pricing either but I could see maybe 200+ tbt for something like this?
Its really good!

With more practice, I’m sure I could totally live up to 200+ tbt. I should use different shapes and shading methods.

since i spend 60% of my time in the museum forum i could kinda (?) interpret prices - i could see this going for 150+ which is p good since you’re just a beginner .0. with more practice your art could totally be worth 200+

Thank you! I’m hoping on working on another piece today for extra practice!

That looks great though just one thing... I think her forehead is a bit dark? Otherwise it's still a good piece.

Lol, I went a bit overboard on the shading... To be honest, I don’t like my method of shading, but now that you point it out, I can see it. Thank you for the feedback!

I'm still a beginner as well so problem! I just smudge a darkened version of the base color for mine and idk if that's right lol.

I’ll try that next time! I think it’s good to experiment on different types of shadings.

Ibispaint would be my favorite app if it weren't for the lag.... I use a different program and it's smoother.

I don't use an iPad sadly lol. I use Infinite painter.

Yeah, I only use an iPad when drawing. I find styluses hard to use so I use my finger instead.

A finger? That's kind of hard for me haha.

Yeah lol. I have big hands for a girl, but I just learn to roll with it.

Are, are you sure this is your FIRST time doing digital? Cause this is super cute! Now I'm super curious to see your traditional drawings if you have any.

I would def say your art is worth somewhere in the 150-200 tbt range.

Well, it’s my first time using the program. I doodled on Notes here and there, but I have never made a full blown art. I don’t have too many traditional drawings, but I do have an older one of Molly.

Cute art, and super good for your first attempt at digital art! 'w')b

Hopefully I'm not overstepping too much, but a bit of advice for shading that I quickly scribbled together (because when I first did digital art, I did the same thing until someone told me similar things):

I tried to keep it simple to things you're probably familiar with already -- you'll learn more as you experiment more 'w')b (e.g. painting, finding other brushes you like more, etc.)

For the colour-picking part, you can actually choose from a bunch of different colours, it just depends what you like best and what you're comfortable with!
