browse the reference gallery- in stock photos and find some fun poses and activities. work more with perspective. also try some different lighting techniques, add texture to some things rather than making them all look glossy and sort of plastic-like. fun things like that, (i need to work on most of that too >.<

I agree with sk8rccd.

Also, trying using more softer colors. Colors that aren't so much in your face. I hope that helps.

I think you should work on profiles [I haven't seen a lot of those!] and, um...there was something else...Oh yeah. Try drawing other people's characters! You never know what you'll learn from doing that. For example, I learned I can't draw windblown crazy hair XDD

For anatomy type stuff get the 'anatomy for the artist' book its got some nakie pictures in it but it's really good for anatomy and poses. But yeah lighting is a good one to work on.

I will try to think of some ideas for you to draw....hmmm...how bout someone sitting on a dolphin out in the water? XDD

Mostly all the stuff I need to work on too! haha! Poses, yep we should work on different kinds of poses. Uh... lighting is always a little hard to grasp, so that.

Angles, oh those get me all the time, and I noticed you don't have many pics of your characters at different angles.

Keep practicing hands, since they're the trickiest.

And one that's been really gnawing at me lately is background. We should work on that. >< My backgrounds are rather suckish. I don't remember how often you use backgrounds, but yeah that's something to look at.

Hope that helps some. XD

You can make your art "better for us", but only to share the vision.


You ultimately need to focus on making it better for yourself.

Why do you draw?

Is it not a passion?

Improving on things like anatomy, color techniques and etc. are pretty much things that any artist can improve on, that's a given.

Based on how much experience the person has, you need to assess if you are comfortable with what you draw/how you draw it.

People can tell you what THEY would like to see,

and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion about what they would like to see in YOUR works.

I can't tell you how to color, or to add softer tones or shades of colors, because perhaps YOU think YOUR art would be better with sharper contrasting things.

That's an example of preference.

You're still growing as an artist, and no one ever "stops" in my opinion.

Myself, I don't ask what others think my art needs to be better.

But of course good critique is helpful, like "you need to practice proportion on low angles, sky angles, etc."

Use what you have and run with it.
Look at things you like, then take that inspiration and take it and create something that hasn't been seen, something original/ rather, that makes you stand out from the rest.

Try different angles, different themes, listen to music, what you see in dreams.


You ask what should you do, but you have already listed them.

You list, but you want specific detail.

While people can give you that information, its up to your own preference to how you think your art should be. Because of that, why ask?

And when you say you want to make your gallery look better, I get the implication that the reason is for "face".(popularity/attention/admiration what have you).

You say make it best for us;
all art is good no matter what in my opinion.

(as long as you put effort into it and really tried to make it "your own").

Okay, now I'll humor you since it's past midnight and my bed time.
*browses your gallery*

Color: add more depth to it, cell shade, just make it detailed. One or two colors can often make something look choppy or...like bumpy..bread.

More color depth=more win.

*browses some more*

Your lineart is nice, try experimenting with thickness and smoothness. You might find something you like. I don't know.

*keeps browsing*

....yaoi...??

*to eternity*

My last most important thing i want to say


draw lots, draw more, kill trees
recycle paper, draw on everything possible.

Practice (yes how clicheee) makes perfect (but trueee).

I'm not mentally stable right now. I'm very sleepy. It wasnt an attack!!!! I really wanted to comment.

I think you should draw something funny...just throwing that out there ;
You could work on animal anatomy or features...
