I usually draw my art-sona as a sign off for my art. Like a full-stop on the end of a sketch sheet. So I made it out of things I really enjoy drawing, as a way to reward myself.

Its fine,for what itvis: a character study.,and I would advise drawing the character more to feel comfortable producing her look,and experiment with her look in subsequent undertakings. I have invented several characters for a story that the only criteria is doing "enough" to compel the story along,both artwise and writing. I drew the one with the cornrows and center floppy mohawk specifically for the character, she is a water witch,and being an otter,has affinity with water. So in water, her hair strands balloon out from interwoven pockets of air,and she looks like a man o' war when doing her magic,crest high and tentacles spread menacingly. You should think about such details when you are forging your own OC. The story on a whole is an excuse to write about this time period to carve into stone its history, manners,and customs when the world was markedly different. Exploring panel layouts,rough poses,and laying out foreshadowing for future plot development,with the added challenge of fitting it into the premade panels of the comic diary I am drawing that in.

You have a character. Have her doing things,interacting with her world. This will force you to think all that up,but over time. A little bit of lore is enough per drawing. Let this be your next drawing:

She is sitting by herself at a small table,having tea,with a teapot and matching cup.

That's alot of text for saying to draw the character more and have fun with it
Though your tip with character design is also interesting
What I also like to do is play dress up with a character just to see how suitable they are for freely projecting stuff on
Classic getups I like are stuff like cavemen, wealthy person or just cuter ways of drawing them

The nude body is pure, eternal, free.
The clothed body is shackled by culture and civilization. A time, a place, a zeitgeist. It represents something much narrower.

Hi /ic/,
Reddit here.
Considering buying some affordable art, and need some honest feedback on how shit my taste is. Some have already sold, but generally speaking, how bad is it?
5 paintings/drawings, and one photograph print.
If it's really shit, tell me why it's shit.

nah people here are just retarded and think if you can't draw a perfect figure from imagination then you should stick to grinding exercises rather than doing anything else. personally anon I think you should get what you find appealing, analyzing art that you like on a technical level is a fruitless endeavor imo.

really bad
to me, this isn't really art. there's two colors and very little effort here. I don't feel any emotion when seeing this shit. consider, by contrast, a Rothko image; sometimes just two colors - but much more dramatic and emotional. there is nothing here

>>7220635
good
this has some interesting figure mutation, but there isn't much here. I would say this doesn't go with the other pieces you've selected.

>>7220636
really bad
I simply don't enjoy looking at this and don't understand why you think you do, but whatever - if you like it then good for you. I hope you find meaning in it because it's unlikely it was made with any

>>7220638
good
this one is fun and interesting. I think the composition is poor, but it's still quite good. this artist has a good understanding of color, depth, and focal points imo

For a lack of better words, I’ve had a genuine struggle over the years to work my way on creating appeal.

I tend to draw a lot of armored female knights, rogues, and sorceresses. But I’m not quite sure whether it’s skill, style, subject, or some other reason, I have never managed to capture the interest of any audience. The only one who shown any interests in my art was my cousin and mother. I know this is the typical story of someone who just needs to “get good” or so to speak, but I felt like I really reached a dead end with this. Is there something else I’m missing?

>>7216897
Appeal isnt your issue, it's little inconsistencies here and there in perspective and anatomy that all add up to make the image unpleasant to look at overall. In this case it's very much not your style, it's a lack of knowledge.
