Roast my art with me ('22 Dec)
🕑 Added 2023-01-16 18:17:58 +0000 UTCYou learn best from mistakes!
Maybe you know this feeling:
You just finished a beautiful piece of art and want to upload it proudly to the internet for everyone to see - but not even a few hours later and you see major mistakes that you didn't notice before! Instead of being sad and beaten down about it, try to analyze, acknowledge, remember and correct your mistakes from the past!
Caution! This might destroy a piece for you. At least for me it does. I cannot un-see mistakes once I noticed them!
Skip to the end for a summary.
So this I remember, had a off-looking perspective from the start! But I just couldn't figureit out and just went with it... I tried to hide most of the mistakes with shadows (Twices' legs in the bottom left corner for example).

This was mostly drawn on a screen-tablet. I work with a simple wacom intous normally, so I really had to rethink my workflow! Overall, I am pretty happy with it, but I wish I'd made his nose a bit bigger (esp. because he's a very feminine looking male, I want to exaggerate male characteristics) and his blush more noticeable. This was really much a case of "I don't know and I don't care anymore - this takes way too long!" So meh...
I tried to put some snow on his face, like, everyone has very fine body hair and snow would stick to it in really cold temperatures... but it looked weird and I couldn't figure out another method.
_____________
I really like his pose here! It was a bit difficult and is different from the concept, where you couldn't really see his face at all. I never have drawn teeth in this perspective and it shows... With this piece I noticed once again, that sometimes my hands look a bit... weird.
_____________
...and with this I focused esp. on his hands - and they turned out great imo! I am really sad though, that I couldn't pull off the lighting as I wanted to. Overall I am pretty happy with it though!
_____________
The latest public spicy work! I am really proud how much my (male) anatomy improved! I think about adding nipples though... - my artworks may be too detailed now to just not draw them. O well.
Though, the overall lighting is pretty good, I managed to give him some random dark spots and it's super distracting for me! I am super mad because of that, because this happened in the past and I thought I would know better by now.

What I am trying to improve in the future:
· more patience
· nose size
· face shape
· hand details
· no random shadows/dark spots
What do you think?
Do you do this kind of analyzing with your old work? Do you agree with my problems?
I think it's important to just keep everything in mind to improve in your next drawing!
