Which drawing practices, lessons, or exercises have made the biggest difference in improving your skills? Do you focus on gesture, anatomy, value studies, or something else? I’m curious what routines other artists find most effective.

In this I wanted to give a creepy vibe and in this I just made a drawing first then copied it and moved it a bit and I felt that doing this will give a creepy psychological vibe in the viewer

I’ve been wanting to create some characters from imagination, so to speak and struggling to create good, interesting designs for them. Do I need a mood board to help with that?

I’m working on a manga and I would appreciate any feedback I am also creating some species and the ones I have are fish people lizard people and bird people. I also added dragons.

kid wandered in an abandoned mansion, but the owner's "pet" was left behind. I could use some critiques.

Hey everyone! Over the past week and a half, I’ve been spending my days working on my OC and wow, I didn’t realize how much time, trial and error, and exploration goes into creating a character! It’s been a real learning process, and I wanted to apply what I’ve learned from Figure Drawing Fundamentals and Drawing Basics to bring this personal project to life. So here she is my OC, Eva! ✨ I also attached a couple of images: a quick thumbnail study (I probably should’ve done more!) and a sketch of her outfit. I had a lot more exploratory sketches, but I’ll spare you the full sketch dump this time. 😅 This project taught me so much including what I still want to improve. I made plenty of mistakes, but I’m excited to keep practicing. For my next attempt, I think I’ll try working in ink and maybe add some gray/black markers to play with value and contrast. I’m not 100% happy with this result yet, but I know it’s just the first step. It feels good to finally get her down on paper and I’m excited to keep developing her!

Hello everyone in this following drawing I drew a skull and snake on the bg and with this I wanted to play with the composition of it as indicated in the second image with markings also i experimented with line weight as I have never tried drawing with line weight the reason I chose black and red is to give it a more demonic look Also I took refference for the skull and snake

Hello great artists Im kind of a newbe on this group, but I've been drawing for quite some time. Recently my portfolio got rejected from school that I wanted to attend. That event struck me like a lightning and in conclusion I got lost in prioritys of things. Firstly I know for sure that I want to attend to this school next year. Secondly I know I have to get better at design and I know for sure Proko is the best place to get help with that. So here I am asking for some kind of help. I'll link my porfolio here. Go ahead and check it out!!!

Hey, im an aspiring concept designer. Im looking for feedback on my latest designs for a personal project i'm working one. Please be as honest and brutal as possible.

I'm looking to create some animation and with designing my characters. any help be appreciated.

I am wanting to create some original characters for some concepts I'm working on.

Hello, I'm trying to improve my visual character design and make characters for the comic I'm working on. I was looking for critique and advice for this character. I plan to create an illustration/splash art for her and use her in a comic later down the line. The theme of this character is a Fashionable Field Scouter who's secretly a bug queen. This character is planned to have a human and bug form. I wanted to give off the feeling if you look long enough you'll notice minor details that she is an insectoid. So I was wondering if the shrug jacket and skirt are too bland? With the clothes, I wanted to portray her expressing herself even with the straight-edge uniform. I was thinking of adding a pattern to the shrug jacket but I feel like it would become the focal point of the character when I really want the eyes to be that and the first thing people see when they look at this character. I decided not to go crazy with the render yet to see if I could add something to them before adding the material. I wanted to ensure the human form was decent enough before I started working on the bug form. Any other critique or advice is welcomed. Thank you.

Practice Painting using Ian Mcque's work as reference. I want to learn more about drawing mechs.

Here I was just planning out the thumbnails for color and I was aiming to get a vintage plus a spooky feel simultaneously at first I tried this but later I thought to like to go very abstract so I did whatever came to my mind So would these color combination work. My main aim is to get a evil spooky feel with the character plus a vintage feel simultaneously

This is my character Catastrophe for my concept portfolio, her background: she is designed to be a character for apex legends, she is similar to rampart with her appearance.

All feedback is welcome and thank you!

Hi! I don't have a drawing this time ,but a question about drawing monitors. I was looking to get one for under $500 , and these are the two options I picked. Does anyone have any experience with either of these monitors ? I have windows 10 ,by the way. Thank you! :)

I am taking Aaron Blaise character design course. This lesson was on simple character expressions. The characters are not the same. The focus is whether or not the characters convey the correct emotion. Some were easier to figure out and others took quite a few iterations. Any feedback on how to improve the designs or your process for character expressions.

This project is still very much trial and error. This concept art is inspired by Ubisoft's game "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora". I recommend checking the full progress, to avoid misconceptions: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/lDgQ9Y Based on your experiences, what do you think needs improvement to be accepted into the concept art industry, especially for AAA games?
