Michalina's Art Thread ♡ [Feedback very appreciated!]

[Michalina]

Hello!
I loved drawing since I was a little girl and I draw digitally for over a year =7=
These are drawn in kawaii/moe-ish style, but I want to stick to more serious art.
I'm willing to improve my art, so critique is very appreciated. Thank you!
From the oldest:

(It has been already pointed out that her arm is a little too short)



Not really happy with that one tbh

Haven't been drawing much lately orz

Your art is very cute. A few suggestions have you is for the pupil of the eye. The pupil should be larger as the sizes of the eyes increasing, a small dot doesn't do your cute images justice. This also goes for the placement of the pupil... The pupil should be more centered in your eye. Anyhow, your chibi proportions seem fine and very adorable. However, a little more work is need in standard poses. For example: the facial structure. I would love to show you but I lost my pen due to certain circumstances. Not an expertise though.

Thanks! Haven't been drawing much lately, so I'm just posting this... I'm mostly active on my deviantart!

This thread is so dead orz
Anyway, I have two drawings:


This one is pretty old, but I haven't posted it here. And the new one I finished yesterday:



What do you think?

Very cute stuff!

I like the eyes on the chibis, but for some reason I find the exact same style to be unsettling on the more normally proportioned characters. Definitely something about the pupil size and positioning, I think!

Your new piece is very sweet! I think the main thing that's detracting from the overall effect is the bricks. They just look very photographic compared to everything else. The other thing that catches my eye is that the table legs are very bright relative to other elements, considering that they're under the table and presumably being shadowed by it. Also, some small 'contact shadows' might help ground the table legs on the bricks.

Besides the overall 'rabbit girls having a tea party~!' thing, I think my favorite specific element is the delicate floral border on the tablecloth -- it's just such a lovely little detail. <3

Thank you for feedback <3

I'm still developing my own style, so it may look different on some drawings. I corrected the new drawing:

Oh, nice! I'm glad my feedback was helpful -- and I really like the bricks now, I think they work beautifully!

In the first post, I saw the "her arm is a little too short" comment, and I'm confused as to which drawing. Mostly because from what I've seen, neither of them have short arms. The elbow is supposed to be at waist-level, so there's really no short or long arms in there.

I like that last one you did. Wish I can so easily draw whatever the heck I came up with orz But anyways, love everything, but with the shadows, I think it's best to make them pop out a bit more. They look too close to the base color. Also, feel free to add different hues to everything. It makes your piece less bland. As a rule, blues are for shadows while reds are for highlights. Or so I heard, but play around with colors. For the leaves in the back, I'm not sure about them being circles. Maybe make the brush smaller and just go crazy on dabbing all over them. You can also probably use Photoshop brushes, there's really no hurt to using pre-made brushes, except you probably won't be able to draw leaves unless you use a normal brush.

Also, don't be afraid to play around with perspectives and angles. Having dynamic pictures will make your drawings look amazing. It does take a while to get used to, but if you keep at it and don't give up, you'll get there.

But overall, I like the atmosphere, and the lighting. Very, very nice.

I like to add belly button level arms is what helped me other than that I agree with hiko really pretty
edit: I meant elbow oops =D

Well , to be honest the work are great !
your artworks for some reason reminded me of Aurora from child of light. I would like to see how your works go on !

I really like rabbits. They are cute, colors are very lively but gives delicate feelings becouse of light play. And I like they facial features. It remaindsme Alice in Wonderland

Since I am not into chibis I wil just say that they are very cute and pretty

I think that before you do facial features to full size characters, you could draw lines that will help you place your facial features in right places. I feel like eyes would look better being a little lower so it wouldn't be a gap between it and nose. I don't know what effect you actually want have so this is only a suggestion that may improve your style Try placing things in different ways(different angles of eyes will give you diversity) and try to make it in different sizes(you may to male for example afro-american girl). It may seem difficult but it will give you opportunity to explore yourself better

I love your coloring. If i could do half of what you do here, I would fly from happines
