the unfinished one is something im working on rn after not doing much but doodling here and there and the other one is something i finished in January but forgot to update and just wondering if there was anything that i could improve in the future and how i could apply that to the one im working on currently. Any help is welcome.

Hey @sadbonez, nice work! I did a paintover focused on design. I think if we could better design a moment and compose the image around it that would improve your piece more than just rendering better. That said if you want a better painting- learn about value structure and creating a focal point with it.
If you notice in the paintover the brightest values highlight points of interest. But this all goes back to design and how the painter can best compose an image and then render it.
The rest of the notes are in the image below!
Thanks for sharing!

Hey sadbonez,
I think the reason your painting looks flat is due to the drawing, not the painting. I did a quick sketch to show you how you can add some dimension to the drawing. Then when you paint, it will already have a 3D feel.
Hope it helps :)

Ive been trying to make my art a little more refined without having the lineart with it and i was wondering what i can do to make the limbs and body pop more and not look as “flat” i guess
p.s.-i still haven’t finished rendering the painting yet

This was for a school project I did and I couldn’t really render it well and I’m still not very experienced with adding color to my art work any tips?

realy cool designs, I can't help with the anatomy, cause I couldn't have done this any better. But here is how I would try to make them look even cooler, try to get in a bit more shadow to indicate more volume. I did a couple of rough sketches to get the idea across a little better :)

Wow thank you so much for the help and I’ll try defining the shadows more I really like how you made the hydra look so much smoother and I also liked the colors used on the other creature
