Hello everyone!
I did fanart portrait of Him from Powerpuff Girls.

I like the way you drew his facial features

What I noticed is that your pose is too straight up and down, causing it to look stiff. The arms also look too short. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean :)

I see what you mean, it does make it look very stiff. Thanks a lot for your detailed response!

Nice work! I think you go the likeness of the reference very well. I few critiques that I want to give:
1) I think your shadow values are a little similar to the light sides or not dark enough to show where the light source is, I think you should make them darker to make it clearer. Don't be afraid to push the darks.
2) The eyes are a little too big. I think making sure that proportions are right at the layin stage should fix this if youre trying to make a more accurate sketch.
3) I wouldve liked to see if you put more effort on the hair. The way it is right now his hair looks too messy compared to the reference where its more refined.
Keep up the great work!

I see, I knew something was off with the eyes haha. Thanks a lot for pointing that out !
I will work more on the shadows and the hair in my future drawings. Thank you for your precious feedback!

Female figure23d
Hi, I justified finished this figure drawing . I tried to make it as accurate as possible without pushing the details and the shadows too far. Do you have any feedback for me ?

Small Portrait ( feedback greeted)23d
Hello ! Looking for some feedback 👋
I tried to make a portait that’s every small ( not even half a sketchbook page) compared to the ones I’m used to. The challenge was not to focus on the details too much and try to give a simplified version of the photo. So what do you think?
Any review or critique is greatly appreciated

My feedback would be to stop trying to do drawings in 40 seconds. If you are having doubts about your figure drawing, then take your time understanding gesture, then set a 5 min. timer. When you are killing it at 5 min. Then start doing them in 2 min. Then 1 min. Then 30 seconds.
If you do it your way you will just get frustrated and give up.

Gesture Drawing1yr
Hi ! I have been having some doubts lately regarding my figure drawings so I decided to go back from the start. Although I’m not sure if this is the right approach to gesture drawing. Any feedback is welcome !
PS : those are 40 sec

Well, to begin with, this is not very good reference, It's out of focus and doesn't show much detail.
What I am noticing is that there is no structure to the head, it's just a bunch of value shapes put together. Without understanding the underlying structure, the head feels soft and undefined.
I did a quick sketch exploring these birds heads in order to understand your reference. Once I understood the structure of the head and beak, it made it easier. You should try it too. I hope this helps :)

Thank you for your reply ! It's true that I didn't pay much attention to the structure and focused a lot on the values. I will definitly try again and study these birds's head. Thanks again

Do you know what kind of bird this is?
You made your job tough because the reference is so blurry. It would help to pull up multiple references that are higher res so you can refer to the bird's features better.

What a great idea ! I looked it up and it is a Peale's falcon, there are so many references. Thank you a lot!
