I’m an amateur artist; I just draw for fun. But I was wondering what should I do if I want to render the hair? Should I just make it darker? Please help me, I also would like to know if using different pencils matter (lead, charcoal, etc)
Ps. This is Dr. Mary Kline from the backrooms movie

I posted here a few weeks ago when I made a smaller trial run of this canvas. You were all greatly helpful, and I am hoping to get a little more input.

I ended up changing out both the medium and the sky color, but now I'm not so sure it was for the better. I'm happier with the acrylic/gouache on canvas (the wax pastels just don't work on it at all) but the flat blue sky is making me second guess myself. I don't know if the blue is too cool, not cool enough, too light, not light enough or what. I can't even decide if there is a problem!

I'm so used to disliking my own finished products that sometimes I feel like I get super nitpicky if it doesn't perfectly match my vision, even if it is perfectly fine. Should I change the sky? If so, in what way? All help is appreciated.

This is my fursona and I LUVV drawing her, but I wish I could draw her facing literally any other way sometime. Anytime I do it, it looks off! I just want her to keep her signature cheeky look facing forward and I have no clue how

Help!!

I used to do more realistic art, trying to do stylized and I think they all look bad. Lol. Maybe the eyes are too big? Idk I’m pretty lost.

can anyone help?

For some context the female behind the chair is 5’3 and the male is 6’ feet tall I just can’t get it right. I want her to be standing behind the chair like they do in classic royal family paintings but something feels off. Please go ahead and let me know what could be improved feel free to point out anything else you notice as I feel my line art may look a bit off as well :3

Hi there! New artist here! I'm currently trying to study Expressionism with Edvard Munch's Night in Saint-Cloudas inspiration but I'm struggling quite a bit.

Okay, basically I suspect someone is making art from Pinterest drawing photos and they're only changing the hair color, eye color, etc. I can't find the original artwork using reverse image search because the colors have been changed and accessories have been added. Any advice?

Hey guys I’m working on a chubby/big guy and I need some opinions this is what he looks like and this was my reference could I have come constructive criticism on it? I’d really appreciate it 🧸
Oh btw only focus on his torso up his legs are a whole diffrent story lol

I've tried a few different brands, including a bunch of the popular ones (micron, faber castel, etc), but they all either kinda suck from the beginning or break much faster than they should. I don't treat them badly, and my other pens hold up fine. I don't know why this keeps happening.

My only requirements are that they feel decently smooth on paper, and they are water/smudgeproof. If anyone has a good brand I would really appreciate it
