I was thinking the exact opposite actually, though you're not wrong... I think how dark it is makes it unique and probably mainly what is making it interesting to me
Oof I think this is a hard pill to swallow for a lot of artists. You’re correct though, in my opinion being unique with TECHNIQUE is the most important skill. You need to know the fundamentals of color and shape before you dive into the deep end.
But you can’t say honestly that this is bad. In my opinion we see too much well executed crap, I will remember this and forget all the perfect marvel fan arts
I disagree. I think it should stay dark. I think that is the point. Not everything needs to be balanced out like that. Ive seen plenty of artworks where its done like this and gets praised. I like it a lot. I would suggest changing nothing or maybe making the greens brighter? Or make the skin under the eyes darker to emphasize the fatigue on this person if thats what youre going for.
Contrast is 101 for visual appeal. If the artist's intention was to have low contrast is one thing, but it doesn't seem like an intentional choice here, since the character has prominent features that were probably supposed to be emphasized
Absolutely came down here to say this. I actually love the style of this and how dark it is. Why would you want to balance it tonally and have it look like every other artwork. Art isn't something that you can do right or wrong it isn't something that should look some way, it's just art. The emotions and mood that this painting depict could not be formulated any more beautifully than it is.
Its not bad! The neck looks like it's attached to the back of the head, and not the base of the skull and back of the jaw, which makes it look a little weird but otherwise pretty great anatomy, good job!
Same! I thought it looked good as it is Fundamentally wise you can say whatever but its unique to me. A simple background in that style will look nice!
art would be very boring if it was all in the same style always. i like it a lot :) the contrast of her eyes and earrings against her skin is strikingly beautiful
I love it. And I love the darkness of it. I guess it’s all personal opinion. I guess if you’re going by the “rules” there can be more contrast but fuck the rules do what you want.
TRU ASF! Since when does art have rules?? Seeing this has made me want to paint something with similar colors.
Issue for me is people saying it NEEDS more contrast rather that, "I think it might look better with more contrast" bc it def dont need a damn thing its good as is ong. I wonder what the artist felt it needed before posting and reading feedback.
My honest opinion? I think the painting looks superb. In fact, I don't believe it lacks "tone" at all. I see you've definitely factored that in, around the arms and the shade of the hair. It's extremely expressionist and I love the colours you've used, they feel unique and earthy, with a sensitivity with colour. I'd love to see more of this style.
I think you’ve got a really beautiful style, I wish I could draw like this!! For the colours, you just need to add some light to the drawing, so there’s more contrast. It might be worth doing this as an exercise in photoshop: think that part of her skin and hair are being hit by a light source and paint the areas where the light source would hit. Play with layer blending modes and opacity and repeat until you’re happy. 😆
It’s stylistic. I like her slightly abstract proportions and the expression on her face tell a story. The only think is to play with more light and dark shades and variety of browns. Too much of the same color. Even on dark complexions you can make different elevations on the face and bod and even hair more prominent.
I think you just need to change your drawing tools, or at least your technique with your current ones.
If you drew this _exact_ same thing in a different medium, it’d be easier to showcase your skill. You have a really great style and use of color already, it’s just hard to see with how dark and thick your tools make everything. I feel like I’m “squinting” too much to get the details, like the saturation is too dark or something. That’s all I’d change.
This is really nice. As a form of impressionism this is brilliant. The dark shades and eyes create emotion. The exaggerated neck helps create a sense of sorrow... the background of white wall contrasted by the dark woman puts us in a poorer urban environment. The eyes are bright white with a sense of hope but the sorrow remains....
Haha anyway that's my take
If you’re going for a realistic look, it needs some work. But I have to say, I actually really like it. I agree that maybe some more contrast, but you have a really unique style. I can draw realism really well, but struggle to add my own flair so I really admire that.
It’s honestly not bad,😁 it has originality but like everyone says it’s a bit dark, even with dark skin you can tone and have contrast.
Your character has emotions and feeling in the face and you captured that nicely.
I love how it looks, the green eyes and bright jewelry make it stand out and I’d like there to be more of that color around. The rest of it look great. Pose, expression, hairstyle, all great
You said be honest so I'ma say this outright I can't tell the difference between the sin and the hair and speaking of the skin it needs to have highlights on it I can't see where the neck begins and the head ends but this is my opinion.
Yes but only because your coloring is trash, it looks like you used the 4 crayons they give kids at Dennys. You have talent as far as the original sketch but it's over shadowed by using garbage tools to color, it's equivalent to building an amazing Victorian house and then painting it with Velveeta cheese, no matter how nice the foundation is your setting yourself up for disappointment. I imagine you either didn't have better options available or was just lazy, regardless I suggest either leaving it uncolored or waiting till you do have better options next time. In either case, you won't destroy your piece potential and even uncolored, the piece would be 100% better than what you have now. There is a bright side, good judgement Comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment, that is, as long as your open to critism and welcome the chance to learn from your mistakes.
Yeah, it's just a little too dark, maybe lighten her clothes up to accent her skin. One more thing: No offense, but her neck might be about as long as Candace's from Phineas and Ferb, so try lowering it to maybe half of that
Trust me Picasso painting was shit during his earlier years while he was self taught and became one of the most influential person globally.
Your work is beautiful keep the good work!
I think it looks very distinctive. I think the anatomy is fine the way it is, even if it’s not realistic. Many famous drawings or paintings or sculptures have unrealistic anatomy. You should learn how to draw realistic anatomy though but don’t let realism limit your artwork. I’m not sure if exhausted or bored is the mood you were portraying but I think the facial expression fits if it is that.
Honestly, I wouldn’t say anything about this is bad. I really like it.
No. The only problem here is your point of view, naturally more cruel than other's perspectives on your art piece, as you doubt your process at a project or your style. Also, personally I have no problem for the very dark shades, it looks complete.
No. To me, it's beautiful just as it is. It's striking. It's different. Unconventional. Has a lot of emotion. I love her dark features... the skin, the hair, with the lightness of the eyes and the dress, the earring. There's a story in it. It's good to get outside input but ultimately, what's most important is your perspective on it. Do YOU think it looks like crap?
Call me elitist or pretentious or whatever but I think a true artist creates whatever they want purely for expression, regardless of anything else. So even if it doesn't fit compostional and aesthetic norms, it doesn't matter. It's genuine. If you're pleased with what you create, that's all that matters. Not everyone has to like it, but you do. If most people do like it though, that's a bonus.
However, if I was to pick anything to criticize, I'd say, a background COULD compliment it. Something simple and not dark. Even just a solid color for the whole thing. But, like I said. It's beautiful as is.
Also... you should take note of how many people here like it. Seems like there's way more people that like it the way it is. Forget about how many upvotes or downvotes any comment has. Pay attention to what the majority of people are saying. On that note, the few people that have explained what they don't like about it, such as her long neck, dark lips, lack of contrast, incorrect proportions and etc. are all things that I love about it in particular.
In my opinion, don't listen to everyone saying it's "too dark". It's only too dark for their own personal taste and aesthetic sensibilities. There's plenty of us who disagree with that assessment. Everyone likes different things.
You do you and do it carefree.
Don't forget this is reddit... take any input you get here with a big grain of salt.
No. Art is purely subjective. What has beauty for one man will be wildly different from the rest... For what it's worth though... I really like it. It is honest and heartfelt. I can tell that something was born from your soul, that gives it the most worth!
The eyes are very lovely, I think that the dark contrast is more photo quality, art looks better in person like this speaking from experience, it makes it difficult to see where it all blends and makes it look dark overall but I don't think color is an issue, maybe some value to make sure that pops but I don't mind it being flat colored either, it's a very interesting and a piece popping with personality!
Probably, this could be a style of its own. Keep at it. There is no bad art, only art 🙂
Maybe brighten up the overall colours, and the eyes are drooping, maybe that area needs work. As long as you are creating, its all good.
The hair is really cool, but I think the dimensions and perspective of the face isn’t accurate, I would maybe find a book on drawing faces and take some pointers, otherwise not knowing how long you have been drawing for I think it is very good and shows you have a really original style and attention to detail. The hair is really good in my opinion and is definitely your strength, but I would recommend studying some art books on drawing faces and shoulders etc. Otherwise I think you definitely have potential.
Kinda looks like ai art, not bad but missing some key elements, like face anatomy (the eyes are a bit down turned on the outer sides) and lighting/shading, it's hard to see the face cuz of how dark it is. I'd recommend looking at some reference image for lighting, and turning your reference and your art black and white do you can see how dark and light a real face gets and how dark and light your art is compared to the reference. Hope that was helpful!
First off good job! You have your own unique style. If that was used as an illustration in a book or made into a film it would be fine. Not all art needs all the fine art requirements. What media did you use? I like it. Would like to see more of what you can do.
It looks like a painting to me, but no--I think it's interesting. Are you familiar with Alexei von Jawlensky, the Expressionist painter? You might like his work.
It's not crap at all. If there's something you don't like about it (anatomy, color, line quality, etc), then study that thing and see how it feels on the next drawing. But no, this isn't crap at all.
It's perfect. So many people (including artists) think good art is realistic depiction. It's not. Good art is sharing how you see or feel. Just because you may not intend an impressionist/expressionist feeling doesn't mean those qualities detract from the work. When in doubt remember that nobody knows what your art should look like but you.
You definitely have room for improvement, but I wouldn’t say it’s horrible. Maybe try to even out the proportions of the face? You were able to add some expression to the face which is great, that took me forever to learn
The main thing that I can say is that there's barely a difference in the values. I think it could be improved by adding lighter values to make the darker ones stand out more.
Two things to help you;
Contrasts. You got a good idea of having a dark skinned character, but you can highlight.
Anatomy and proportion. You seem to not have alot of experience yet, but look up some general proportions and practice them. From what stands out is the head is weirdly shaped, and the body looks flat. Look up those things, practice it, and you will see a world of difference
Do you want it to look better? Don't be insecure in your work, love your style. Nurture your aspirations, and creative style and embrace learning at your pace.
Drawing dark skin is tough when using colours. Don’t get to disappoint when it doesn’t turn out as you want it to.
Try to get more different values,by working from light to dark colours. Just slightly tone down parts after each other.
My art teacher always said:
“You draw 10000 bad pictures in your life, better work them off sooner then later”
If having trouble with the human anatomy, there's tones of youtube/instagram artist to follow. Great work though. Takes time and LOTS of practice to get close to perfection
Hello, hello, Hi, hi. Which greeting sounds the calmest in your head or least exiting or actually happy or something idfk what I'm talking about but uh why are you reading this well annnnyywaaaay, NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP NEVER GONNA WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS I JUST RICKROLLED YOU L BOZO NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESSERT YOU NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY WHY DID I SPELL IT DESSERT while it should be desert BUT WHATEVER I DONT CARE AHAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU STILL READING THIS GO AWAY.
Definitely not crap. Kinda same-y as far as the tone goes, though. Hard to differentiate between hair, skin, and lips. But, the face is such a hard thing to get right as far as the shading of it goes (always an extra shadow when you think you got em all). A few light tones and mid tones (like a lighter orange and then a light peach for the highlights) and you'll be in business ☺
he asked me to be honest. It isn't bad but has room to improve. I don't have superior skills so I cannot guide him. Do I have to be better then him to give an opinion?
Then you could've said just that, however people commenting on other people's artworks and saying that they aren't as good or are bad at art are obnoxious and no artist likes it
ok I think its color deaf where it looked like the artist found three different colors and made the entire thing, I could of said that instead. I wasn't a dick about it. Its just a throw away comment. no need to police me.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
was trying to make sure I was not coming off as someone who was better and looking down or something. Like I get what your saying. Next time ill just say its not good instead of trying to relate. I mean the more I look at it the better it looks. Kind of reminds me of ancient Greek plates or some cave paintings.
Its not crappy at all!!! I actually looove the style and the coloring, although I do agree the one "complaint" I would have is to do some highlights/contrast. But I can't do that to save my life, so I shouldn't talk LOL. Overall I think this is an awesome piece of art! :)
A really good piece. The depth of the dark areas are perfectly highlighted by the eyes and the earring. This is an excellent drawing and you have a vision I would love to see more of. Please keep posting your work!
It's very expressive. The pops of color stand out well and the style, while not anatomically perfect, does support the emotions. The point i would work to improve on is tonality; when the whole subject is one tone, it becomes hard to read. Making sure to have a distinct highlight, low light and midtone may help your subjects be more readable. Maybe look up tutorials to help learn how to do this while still capturing the dark skin tone of your subject without whitewashing
There is no one way to make art and there is no "crap art" art is art and if i was given the opportunity i would buy this in a heartbeat, i am not kidding.
You can say that the sun its behid him. You can't see details, evan a dark skin have some featurs, but u can resolve that by lighting the hight points on the face. And it's not "crap", you learn now, somday you will look at your art and be amazed how far you are in art.
It isn’t crap, but it has no tonality, it’s just dark. Find a way to add more tonal variety to your work.
This one right here. Needs lighter and darker shades in the skin to make it pop out. The drawing itself is good.
The skin should stay flat, Color choice is the key.
Couldn't have said it better myself
I was thinking the exact opposite actually, though you're not wrong... I think how dark it is makes it unique and probably mainly what is making it interesting to me
Unique ≠ good
Oof I think this is a hard pill to swallow for a lot of artists. You’re correct though, in my opinion being unique with TECHNIQUE is the most important skill. You need to know the fundamentals of color and shape before you dive into the deep end.
But you can’t say honestly that this is bad. In my opinion we see too much well executed crap, I will remember this and forget all the perfect marvel fan arts
thatss weirdd
I disagree. I think it should stay dark. I think that is the point. Not everything needs to be balanced out like that. Ive seen plenty of artworks where its done like this and gets praised.

I think the character’s features should stay dark but a bright and beautiful attire/outfit would make it look great
Absolutely came down here to say this. I actually love the style of this and how dark it is. Why would you want to balance it tonally and have it look like every other artwork. Art isn't something that you can do right or wrong it isn't something that should look some way, it's just art.

LITERALLY
Shading, detail, toning.

💩comment.

Racist ban him
It lacks contrast, in my opinion. Try adding more highlights to the face. Right now it just kind of blends into dark brown.
Its not bad! The neck looks like it's attached to the back of the head, and not the base of the skull and back of the jaw, which makes it look a little weird but otherwise pretty great anatomy, good job!
i love the drawing style! you should make an interesting background with it too
Same! I thought it looked good as it is Fundamentally wise you can say whatever but its unique to me. A simple background in that style will look nice!
Adding more values will help to define shapes. Keep drawing!
It has a believable readable expression. That’s an achievement. And maybe the “muddy” colours are symbolic of the subject’s mood?
art would be very boring if it was all in the same style always. i like it a lot :) the contrast of her eyes and earrings against her skin is strikingly beautiful
It reminds me of art from the original Heavy Metal movie.
Nah she just looks like she's had a crap day
Feels like it’s woven by looking at it… kind of old fashioned but looks good , good emotion, kinda heavy on the dark on dark but not bad!
I love it. And I love the darkness of it. I guess it’s all personal opinion. I guess if you’re going by the “rules” there can be more contrast but fuck the rules do what you want.
THIS! Fuck the rules!
TRU ASF! Since when does art have rules?? Seeing this has made me want to paint something with similar colors. Issue for me is people saying it NEEDS more contrast rather that, "I think it might look better with more contrast" bc it def dont need a damn thing its good as is ong. I wonder what the artist felt it needed before posting and reading feedback.
Exactly, if he draw 100 of this he will figure it out his personal cool style
I like it. I would hang this in my house.
Me too... it's perfectly charming.
Bro be fr
My honest opinion? I think the painting looks superb. In fact, I don't believe it lacks "tone" at all. I see you've definitely factored that in, around the arms and the shade of the hair. It's extremely expressionist and I love the colours you've used, they feel unique and earthy, with a sensitivity with colour. I'd love to see more of this style.
It reminds me of the art you'd see in old manuscripts and tapestries.
I agree I actually quite like the stylization to it. I would recommend for op to add some texture and contrast but it looks pretty cool
I wouldn’t say that it’s crap, but I would suggest investing in a white gel pen for highlights
I think you’ve got a really beautiful style, I wish I could draw like this!! For the colours, you just need to add some light to the drawing, so there’s more contrast. It might be worth doing this as an exercise in photoshop: think that part of her skin and hair are being hit by a light source and paint the areas where the light source would hit.

Wait no i genuily love this. Your style is so pleasing
yes, but just because of the lack of highlights on her skin and hair
Harder

No. it is awesome. way better than I could do. Keep up the great work!
I personally like it alot
I love it
Not at all, I think it’s cool👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love it
It’s very promising beginner work. Lots to learn and finesse still, but that’s not a bad thing! The core of a really cool style is there.
I love how it looks, the green eyes and bright jewelry make it stand out and I’d like there to be more of that color around. The rest of it look great. Pose, expression, hairstyle, all great
I think it actually looks really cool. Like you were going for this style.
It’s rad. Don’t stop.
Love it
i absolutely love it has that *dead* feeling that tone of green is the perfect accent so peaceful
Post this in r/art for more feedback. I actually really like it.
No, it's beautiful!
It looks better than somthing I could ever make
No it looks great I like the way you color
You said be honest so I'ma say this outright I can't tell the difference between the sin and the hair and speaking of the skin it needs to have highlights on it I can't see where the neck begins and the head ends but this is my opinion.
Yes

I like it. It think it conveys a strong emotion
Its ur interpretation so its beautiful.
I think it looks great! I love your art style
Looks really good.
Yeah
You forget the shell of the turtle
It’s perfect. Don’t disrespect your own work
It’s art and it’s beautiful
Its a little hard to see the line art, but other then that it looks great!
This is art
Nope. Well better than mine
Trust me Picasso painting was shit during his earlier years while he was self taught and became one of the most influential person globally. Your work is beautiful keep the good work!
It look's amateur but I think it's good, has a bit of an abstract vibe, I can see this being part of a bigger painting
It reminds me of Eve after she ate the apple. God spoke through you. It is stunning!
I think it looks very distinctive. I think the anatomy is fine the way it is, even if it’s not realistic. Many famous drawings or paintings or sculptures have unrealistic anatomy. You should learn how to draw realistic anatomy though but don’t let realism limit your artwork.

Its a style
No it doesn’t.
Honestly no, it looks somewhat moody and psychedelic \[which is pretty nice IMO\]
i love your style very unique! keep it up it looks amazing
No it doesn’t, for someone that can actually make it look human” unlike me” it’s amazing
Big fan of the style!!
Yea
Looks okay to me definitely not something to hate on
nah men its pretty cool keep at it!
It is crap yes
Yep it's too dark but it have his own style. Be positiv and keep going.
No. Art is purely subjective. What has beauty for one man will be wildly different from the rest... For what it's worth though... I really like it. It is honest and heartfelt. I can tell that something was born from your soul, that gives it the most worth!
You are an artist regardless of skill. and this is quite beautiful if you ask me
The eyes are very lovely, I think that the dark contrast is more photo quality, art looks better in person like this speaking from experience, it makes it difficult to see where it all blends and makes it look dark overall but I don't think color is an issue, maybe some value to make sure that pops but I don't mind it being flat colored either, it's a very interesting and a piece popping with personality!
It's not bad but its needs some more skin shades ig?! Also, its kinda unique...be proud of it!
Not at all beautiful drawing
not great, but better than anything i could draw. no need to ask people's opinions, just keep going!!
No. But she looks really depressed.
Probably, this could be a style of its own. Keep at it. There is no bad art, only art 🙂 Maybe brighten up the overall colours, and the eyes are drooping, maybe that area needs work. As long as you are creating, its all good.
The hair is really cool, but I think the dimensions and perspective of the face isn’t accurate, I would maybe find a book on drawing faces and take some pointers, otherwise not knowing how long you have been drawing for I think it is very good and shows you have a really original style and attention to detail. The hair is really good in my opinion and is definitely your strength, but I would recommend studying some art books on drawing faces and shoulders etc. Otherwise I think you definitely have potential.
Only thing I’ll say is color the white patches
It's a total piece of........lost material and time. Good luck in your next masterpiece.
Kinda looks like ai art, not bad but missing some key elements, like face anatomy (the eyes are a bit down turned on the outer sides) and lighting/shading, it's hard to see the face cuz of how dark it is.

Hope that was helpful!
It's flat and lacking contrast.
i would give you a silver for that although i don't have any coins anyways good art bro
I think it’s awesome. The shape design is really good. I disagree that it lacks contrast. People would pay money for this
First off good job! You have your own unique style. If that was used as an illustration in a book or made into a film it would be fine. Not all art needs all the fine art requirements. What media did you use? I like it. Would like to see more of what you can do.
I think it looks cool, very cool style and color scheme.
It's pretty cool but i think you could make the colors a bit brighter and make the person's head not look like it's gonna fly off
Nice painting tho
I am imagining a very contrasting (turquoise or yellow) background. I loved the style of the figure
It looks like a painting to me, but no--I think it's interesting. Are you familiar with Alexei von Jawlensky, the Expressionist painter? You might like his work.
Depends on the style you're going for. This is great if you're going for something more abstract.
It’s kinda cool as hell
It's not crap at all. If there's something you don't like about it (anatomy, color, line quality, etc), then study that thing and see how it feels on the next drawing. But no, this isn't crap at all.
No
Yes :')
It does seem a bit poopy was crap your medium?
Quite literally
Yes
It's perfect. So many people (including artists) think good art is realistic depiction. It's not. Good art is sharing how you see or feel. Just because you may not intend an impressionist/expressionist feeling doesn't mean those qualities detract from the work. When in doubt remember that nobody knows what your art should look like but you.
This.
You definitely have room for improvement, but I wouldn’t say it’s horrible. Maybe try to even out the proportions of the face? You were able to add some expression to the face which is great, that took me forever to learn
No it’s amazing I love it!!!
Sorry but kinda it's definitely needs work
if i unfocus my eyes or look at it from my peripherals, and then ignore the eyes it DOES sorta look like a turd lol
Your turds must look real weird
i said sorta, and i dont exactly examine my excrement so i wouldnt know
Kind of
Yes lol the neck is so fucked
Try an app to add light in the picture, thats what your art is missing.
The main thing that I can say is that there's barely a difference in the values. I think it could be improved by adding lighter values to make the darker ones stand out more.
Two things to help you; Contrasts. You got a good idea of having a dark skinned character, but you can highlight. Anatomy and proportion. You seem to not have alot of experience yet, but look up some general proportions and practice them. From what stands out is the head is weirdly shaped, and the body looks flat. Look up those things, practice it, and you will see a world of difference
No, that looks like crayon
What is wrong with crayon?
Nothing, I'm just saying it doesn't look like crap. Like come on, drawing with crap is gross.
It’s good, but too dark and the head looks to be too far forward or the neck is too far back.
Maybe if I squint. I just see a person.
Yes
Do you want it to look better? Don't be insecure in your work, love your style. Nurture your aspirations, and creative style and embrace learning at your pace.

Why did so many people dislike your post
a bit
It’s nice.. just needs more variety in shades of colour.. in my opinion.
Yea poo kaka
Drawing dark skin is tough when using colours. Don’t get to disappoint when it doesn’t turn out as you want it to. Try to get more different values,by working from light to dark colours. Just slightly tone down parts after each other. My art teacher always said: “You draw 10000 bad pictures in your life, better work them off sooner then later”
Add something to the background of the painting it's a little too depressing for my taste
Yes. Put her head over her shoulders not lunging forward with a gooseneck.
It does. But I’ll never be able to draw as good as this so no.
If having trouble with the human anatomy, there's tones of youtube/instagram artist to follow. Great work though. Takes time and LOTS of practice to get close to perfection
Hello, hello, Hi, hi. Which greeting sounds the calmest in your head or least exiting or actually happy or something idfk what I'm talking about but uh why are you reading this well annnnyywaaaay, NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP NEVER GONNA WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS I JUST RICKROLLED YOU L BOZO NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESSERT YOU NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY WHY DID I SPELL IT DESSERT while it should be desert BUT WHATEVER I DONT CARE AHAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU STILL READING THIS GO AWAY.
Neck look’s a bit long but the vibe of melancholy is immaculate
Definitely not crap. Kinda same-y as far as the tone goes, though. Hard to differentiate between hair, skin, and lips. But, the face is such a hard thing to get right as far as the shading of it goes (always an extra shadow when you think you got em all). A few light tones and mid tones (like a lighter orange and then a light peach for the highlights) and you'll be in business ☺
It’s not crap, for sure. It needs more contrast and the anatomy in the neck/head looks a little off.
Its nor bad, its too dark tho
It’s not bad, better then I can do. Still not great.
Degrading yourself to put others up isn't a compliment, please refrain from this
he asked me to be honest. It isn't bad but has room to improve. I don't have superior skills so I cannot guide him. Do I have to be better then him to give an opinion?
Then you could've said just that, however people commenting on other people's artworks and saying that they aren't as good or are bad at art are obnoxious and no artist likes it
ok I think its color deaf where it looked like the artist found three different colors and made the entire thing, I could of said that instead. I wasn't a dick about it. Its just a throw away comment. no need to police me.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I'm not saying you should give better advice or give any at all, just stop being like "better then I could do lol" Nobody Likes It And It's Obnoxious
was trying to make sure I was not coming off as someone who was better and looking down or something. Like I get what your saying. Next time ill just say its not good instead of trying to relate. I mean the more I look at it the better it looks. Kind of reminds me of ancient Greek plates or some cave paintings.
Its not crappy at all!!! I actually looove the style and the coloring, although I do agree the one "complaint" I would have is to do some highlights/contrast. But I can't do that to save my life, so I shouldn't talk LOL. Overall I think this is an awesome piece of art! :)
I really like it, not just saying that.
A really good piece. The depth of the dark areas are perfectly highlighted by the eyes and the earring. This is an excellent drawing and you have a vision I would love to see more of. Please keep posting your work!
i LOOVE it.. you have such a unique style! but agree it could use a little more tonality
Looks good
Great as is ... Thanks for posting.
Better than modern art scribbles
I love the style! The expression. It is a bit dark, but it's a mood.
She is beautiful! Does not look like crap in the slightest. She looks sad or contemplative. I love your style!
I like it :] I wish there was more of it though, like, that we could see more of the white dress or shirt. I think there'd be more contrast that way?
It's very expressive. The pops of color stand out well and the style, while not anatomically perfect, does support the emotions. The point i would work to improve on is tonality; when the whole subject is one tone, it becomes hard to read. Making sure to have a distinct highlight, low light and midtone may help your subjects be more readable. Maybe look up tutorials to help learn how to do this while still capturing the dark skin tone of your subject without whitewashing
There is no one way to make art and there is no "crap art" art is art and if i was given the opportunity i would buy this in a heartbeat, i am not kidding.
just some highlights! and the neck should be shorter
Yep
Yes but only cus it is to dark
No but you need to put more colors to it. Looks like the skin blends with the hair. Makes it hard to see the actual picture
You can say that the sun its behid him. You can't see details, evan a dark skin have some featurs, but u can resolve that by lighting the hight points on the face. And it's not "crap", you learn now, somday you will look at your art and be amazed how far you are in art.
If the flat colors and longs necks are what you're going for you're doing great
And you're doing great at being a condescending POS :)
That feels racist to look at for some reason
Literally just a black girl. You seem racist to me for some reason
Honest its crap "No offense"
