I was reminded earlier here that Kaijune has begun. It'll be a good practice for me to push shapes and just have fun doing crazy monsters :) I hope some of you join as well! Also please feel free to critique me even if I'm a critiquer! I am along for the ride for improving. And even if you don't have an "art critique," feel free to share your thoughts about where you think an idea can go. A lot of what concept design is are the ideas and stories behind our images and anyone can help with that!

I'm taking a turn on a darker style, how do you like these? Feel free to comment/feedback. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I was looking for some feedback on the design of this castle. So the story goes like this, There was a very evil and wealthy king who had a huge castle in the mountains where the winter never ends. In a huge battle he lost all his money and his castle was destroyed. Does the design portray the description? Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help me out.

Hey everyone! I'm one of the critiquers here on the platform. I just wanted to introduce myself and let y'all know I'll be checking up on here more frequently. I love design and everything concept art, so if you got any work to share or questions to ask feel free!

Transforming words from the script to clear images that helps the director and the producers visualize key moments in the film. This example is the final fight between Vision and White Vision I designed for the Disney Plus series Wanda Vision. An extra added difficulty for this assignment is that I also was designing the costume for white vision. This took me about 45 hours to finish, not including revisions.

Hi Everyone ! Here are some designs I did for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. This is the creature that swallows Drax in the opening sequence of the movie. I am a senior visual development artist at Marvel Studios. I am one of the staff artist that help with designing the Heroes and Villains of the MCU as well as Keyframe production paintings to help visualize a scene. And sometimes I get to do fun creatures like this one! I have been at Marvel for 8 years now and usually designing costumes so when I get to design some creatures it's really fun for me because I started my career as a creature designer some 20 years ago :) anyway, hope you enjoy these crazy critters!

Hi people! I started a new personal project, a loading screen showing a scene from a boss battle of a fictional game. So I obviously need a boss, a giant one, so I decided for a stone golem. The eye is his weak spot. Any feedback welcome, thank you!

Hi! I have recently been studying a lot of topics that I struggle in ,but lately I have been thinking about how my work looks. My goal is to ultimately work in the industry as an illustrator. However ,I feel that my drawings are not good enough,nor am I improving. I am seventeen and self taught thus far.Can anyone give me some pointers on what direction I should take? Thank you! @Liandro ,I'd really like your opinion on this! :)

continuing the study and design of faces

Hi people! I want to add some props to my portfolio, so I created a brief for myself, namely "A culture living in a harsh, cold environment, with very limited resources, where enormous remains of whale like creatures scatter the landscape. They use these as basis for their housing as well as "worship" them to some degree, as the bones provide shelter and resources for tools and so on." These sketches are still rather rough, but I wanted to get the overall designs down first, before going into more detail. Any suggestions, advice, feedback and ideas appreciated! Thanks and happy drawing :)

Hello guys, Im very excited about Proko 2.0 and I would like to ask about using 3D in your workflow... I started using Blender week ago and Im already amazed by this brilliant piece of software. I would love to learn complete process of creating enviroment scene with characters inside in Blender and Substance Painter. Do you know about some helpfull courses/websites/learning places?

Hi! I have a drawing I started yesterday( which is still in the sketch phase),and would appreciate any feedback on how to improve on it. Thank you! :)

Hey guys! 1 month ago I started doing daily thumbnail landscape sketches (1 per day) and I wanted to share with you the result and progress. First, I look up and gather a bunch of references of what I want to paint and look at them for like 5 or 10 mins, then I put them away and set the timer to 20 mins and start sketching!- this way I'm making sure that I spend the same amount of time everyday - This is great for seeing the progress, and also prevents me from overworking the thumbnails. As always, any critique is welcome! I also want to let you know that I'm going to keep doing this in case anyone wants to join me and share their progress aswell!

Hey folks! Here's my latest piece. A keyframe I did for the Instagram account @24hr_keyframes (Altough not really, cause I'm way passed the deadline). The second image is the brief they gave for this challenge. I'd love to know some of your thoughts on the piece and how I can improve it. Thanks!!

Character, skin, and prop design concepts including turnarounds and thumbnail explorations for various personal projects. I'm always happy to answer any questions folks might have about creating concepts.

Hey everybody, here’s some drawings for a little project I’ve been working quite a bit on, a new Doctor who! I’m a big fan of the show and there’s just so much you could do with the amazing premise of the series. I’m working on some story ideas I’ll hopefully do some rough storyboards for eventually, and i definitely want to learn more about story structure and all that awesome stuff.  for now I’ve mostly just been having fun trying to work on the characters. And of course a bit of the tardis, really want to work more on that since designing rooms and hard surface stuff in general is way out of my comfort zone, but there couldn’t be a funner thing to design! I’ve been trying to write down ideas for characters and story to go off of and build, so that’s progressing too.  Since I am a fan of the show I need to try hard not to make it super similar to what’s already been made haha, need to come up with some new ideas!! Character development! I’ve only been learning a little so far, but learning about story structure and character building is extremely interesting and I’ve come to see how essential it is, even if I don’t become a writer lol. And bill Perkins visual storytelling class I’ve been slowly going though on NMA has been awesome as well for learning all sorts of mind blowing composition knowledge! Good stuff. For the Tardis room I was trying to make it feel really spacious and focus on having very organic feeling shapes, hopefully give it an alien feel. Definitely need to do some more ideation in it,since there’s a lot of room to do something different, see all the different directions you could go. Also I need to work on not making all the same size shapes and sections, make more clear distinct big medium small. And I was trying to apply something I heard Steven Zapata talk about on designing rooms: never just make a box and put stuff in it. Think about different levels, interesting shapes and structures. Just thought it’d be a good idea to show some ideas I’ve been working on, I’d of course appreciate any thoughts thanks! 

When I first started working at Marvel Studios Visual Development, these were some of the characters I worked on. This is a variety of level of finish that I would turn in. Sometimes you have to generate a lot of ideas and keep it clear. It's something I have learned to get better though my career. If you have any questions please ask away :)

For this exercise I started experimenting with design as opposed to just practice portrait painting. I think I am finding a style that feels natural to me. Comments are welcomed

hello hello ! working on inking an old sketch of a kappa from a year or so ago .. tweaking it a bit here and there. Trying to pick up on m old mistakes but any feedback or thoughts so far will be appreciated.. I am thinking I may use brushes to ink in the background with some washes and then work in some more detail after that. I'll try pushing the shadowy figures and fish, etc. into the background some more as it could get a bit busy perhaps.. any tips on brushes for inks would be great also :) thanks !

Hi! I was hoping to get a critique on my newest drawing. I am sixteen and aiming to work in the entertainment industry, so any pointers are highly appreciated..thank you! :)

Hello people! I love concept art and character reference sheets. Since I was young I liked creating characters and now I want to work with that. I've been seeing some concept art books from various games and also seeing many concept art artists and I realized that they all have a certain "technique" and way of working with concept art... I had few concept art classes and myself I even tried to do some throughout my studies, so I wanted to know what I can improve and what I should learn. I want to be a professional so all constructive criticism, tip and advice is welcome! I'll leave some of my concept arts and so you can take a look ;)

Hey! I am currently putting a lot of my focus on improving my character designs and paintings, so I wanted to share my latest one. The topic I gave myself was "space pirates" so I started with the captain of the crew. I would really appreciate any feedback. : )

Hey there folks. I attached some images from a personal project and I don't know if they are good enough for getting a job as a junior concept artist. I know this is a weird topic and maybe kind of a stupid question, but I'm always questioning and doubting myself and I wanted an honest opinion. I would appreciate if a pro artist could give me their insights on my work. However, any critique, tip or comment is always welcome no matter the skill or person. Thanks! PS: I'm going to keep working hard and improving no matter what, so please don't hold anything back!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share this personal project I've been working on, and here's my initial design for the main character she's kinda inspired by Japanese, cyberpunk theme. looking for feedback in terms of design to improve her personality more. thanks!

I took this drawing I did in September of 2020(right) and redid it now(left). Let me know what you guys think!! Any feedback on the new character is welcome! :))

Hi, I'm looking for critiques of my original character. I'm sixteen and hoping to get a job in the art industry,so any feedback is appreciated.. thank you! Side note: the second drawing is an old one,about a year old. My style has changed a bit , but they are the same character.

Hello, guys just did this Viking lineart. What do you guys think about the proportions, design, and anatomy of the character? Here is a general description of the character, He is a Cruel Ruler of the snow mountains, he likes to kill and loves eating bear meat. Thank you for your valuable time

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

Hey guys!! I wanted to share with you this way of practicing that I grabbed from @Ahmed Aldoori . Where he picks a ref and starts asking the question "What if?" in order to bring in the design to the portrait. (Here's the video of him explaining the method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2cS32ybTPU ) I tried to stay focused and keep always in mind shape design. Thoughts?

2023/10/9. Good evening everybody. Here's a concept I made after taking an online lesson about how to draw quick background concepts. Thanks and goodnight.

Hi there. Here are a few recent commissions and I would love some feedback as to areas I can improve on and/or things that are working well that I could push further. Some outside input on how they could improve would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey everyone! (Again, just a humble critiquer on the platform.) Amazed by all the students putting out work! I just finished my first round of critiquing and I'm excited to see just how much everyone improves here :) I'll be on tomorrow to get to everyone I didn't get to!

Here are some other designs I have been playing with lately. Just for fun and study purposes

A piece I have been working on lately Any feedback is welcomed!

These works were created for a school project based on H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Shadow over Innsmouth." The main objective of this project is to create an engaging visual interpretation of the story that captures the dark and unsettling atmosphere of the original narrative. comments and criticisms of all kinds can be helpful!

Piece I've been working, any C&C welcome :)

i dont know if these would really count as concept art because i really never went any were with these characters but i thought that it would be cool to post for others to see and maybe get some ideas also these are all like 3 & 4 & 5 months old so i have got a bit better since then also i would love to all of your thoughts have fun! 😄

Currently I am attempting to make my first portfolio for character design concepts. Below is the first design of 'Naked Mole Rat with Pants' as given to me by my Girlfriend. That is all she gave me so I went into it and came out with the below design. The Blue pencils are the beginning stages of doodling naked mole rats, trying to find an idea. The Red pencils are the next evolution as I tried to find a personality, and the black inks are the 'final' design. I am self taught and am trying to get myself ready to enter this industry. So please any and all critiques, observations, ANYTHING, fire away. I am here to learn! Thanks everyone! Ben

Hello guys! I am working on a book project and this is a character from that book. I would appreciate feedback on the anatomy and pose of the character and his face and also if you have anything to say about the design then please feel free to tell me. Thank you for your valuable time. PS the second image is just a quick concept

Hello, people of the Internet, I am working on a project in which I had to design a forest island concept piece. I wanted some feedback on the design, composition, and lighting of the piece. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help me out. Have a wonderful day ahead.

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.

Hello! I recently started working on a new drawing , in which I took reference and added my own twist. I asked a couple people ,and they all said the perspective of the limbs looked off.Also ,I felt that it wasn't quite as dynamic looking as the original reference. I'd appreciate another set of opinions on that. Thanks so much! :)

Hi guys! I'm designing my first Dungeons and Dragons character for a friend. Character design is very new to me, and also I have no idea how to do clothes and stuff so this is a real learning project! Here is the initial sketch and some colour ideas. Obviously this is just stage 1 and I have a long way to go. I was just hoping for some feedback on what I've got so far. Any tips/advice or if you notice anything I've got super wrong please help before I spend hours carrying on with what I've done already! Thanks!!

Hi all, glad Proko 2.0 is here and this is my first community post! I'm Andreas Huang, (aspiring--should i use that word?) character illustrator and designer based in Indonesia. I enjoy illustrate and design fantasy character (mostly humanoid) in pop-mythical theme Introducing my original character for my personal project---Mercure He's personification of word "Mercury" (all of the Mercury Roman god, the planet Mercury, and the Hg element). My design approach is through word brainstorming to extract visual ideas, and it all supporting a highly agile type of character. Any comments, constructive critiques are appreciated! and hey, lets connect in this new-born art platform if you enjoy my work :)

Figure I would share mi first entry for this years Kaijune (IG challenge). The prompt word was "brute". C&C is more than welcomed.

Hello everyone I just completed this Viking Character Design and I am pretty happy with it. What do you guys think about the design? I was given feedback on this design before and I worked on it and tried changing it. I hope I did a decent job. If you have any critiques about the design and illustration then please help me out. Thank you!

I just finished this concept art of a stone portal. I painted this using Krita and will soon post a video on youtube talking about the whole process. Please tell me what you think! I still need to work better on my occlusion shadows and other things.

Hi all, It's my first time posting art online to get feedback, any advice would be appreciated and I'll try my best to give concise context of what my goals with art are, but feel free to give any feedback based just on the artworks themselves, thanks in advance to anyone who spends time to reply! First, a quick summary of my journey learning art up to this point. I'm 23 now, started to draw at about 14 but didn't really put any serious effort to learn the fundamentals up until 3-4 years ago, then I got into an art school for 2 years learning graphic design and academical drawing/painting but then dropped out due to life circumstances, and before that point I didn't really learn to draw digitally, but after 2 years of art school I got some grasp on drawing fundamentals and for the last year and a bit I was adapting to drawing digitally, I attached two of my best works so far to this post. Now for the current goals, on the practical side of things I want to get a job making art, and so far I settled on being 2d artist for games as the most optimal career choice based on what I like to draw and what work is available locally, though I'm not hell-bent on gamedev specifically and the competitiveness of this field of work scares me off a good bit and the quality and quantity of work needed to get into the industry feels so far out of reach, so any advice on what should I do with my art to get closer to being employable as an artist would be appreciated. On the more personal side of things, I really struggle with enjoying the process of making art and having a clear goal of what I want to do with art aside from the whole get a job drawing thing. I feel like my main problem with art now is more in the creative part rather than technical, though there's always more to learn, right now I feel like problems with the "creative" part of making art hold me back more than technical stuff. I overall feel the lack of creative thinking behind my work, from all the information available online I have some rational understanding of what to do to, for example, design a character, but every time I tried to implement that understanding into making something I just get stuck in the coming up with ideas and setting a goal phase, so instead of getting some Idea of what I want to draw and having a plan I just rush in to draw first and ask questions later, because that way I get something done instead of getting bogged down in all the preparations. As an example, the first image started as a quick pose doodle, then I tried to draw in some anatomy details for fun and thought about making her into a wrestler character, as far as the design at that point it was completely different, then I looked for some wrestler reference and tried to design a costume, but gave up on that after a few hours and instead went the cyborg route, still wanted too keep her a fighter archetype an thought about how maybe she'd be a character in a fighting game, but I couldn't come up with anything cohesive and instead focused on trying to make it look as good as I can. That took about 1-1,5 moths of on and off drawing with breaks every few days and by the end of it I had to drag myself to some semblance of completion because I had no concrete goal in mind and otherwise I could have spent twice as much time and gotten nowhere. With the second image it was a lot simpler, I just took a pencil sketch I did a while back and did my best to make it look pretty, I think the whole process took me about 15-16 hours and there's a lot more time I could spend on polishing it but I feel like I hit diminishing returns on my effort and super detailed rendering of materials isn't something I'm ready to do for now. At this point I feel like I lost my train of thought and I'm not sure what more information I could add that would be useful for giving feedback on my work and/or answering my questions, thanks again to anyone who replies to this.

Hi guys! I finished designing this character. She's a witch in the victorian era and she's an evil villain so I tried to show that by using red and making her eyes red. What do you think about the design and do you think it's good enough to put it in my portfolio?

Hello all. This is my design for a minotaur slave, called a Gatecrasher, forced to fight and mutated by a highly volatile crystal strapped to his body (a variation of peridot, the supposed crystal of intensity). I'd love to get it critiqued. Perspective is one of my weaker areas, so I made efforts to work foreshortening into the pose, but if you notice anything off, then I'd love (and hate) to hear about it. I've also attached a study of the character to show you his full body, though I did make some changes to the design in the final.

Hey Guys! This is my first time posting work here on Proko. I’m a little nervous But don’t let that stop you from tearing me up. Here is a WIP I’m working on , I tried to plan out the lighting but I skimped on composition which may have cost me but I’ve failed to see how exactly. I’m really struggling with shadow, light, and texture. So, I would really appreciate any tips you might have, or any mistakes you spot. With your help I might be able to bring this piece up to a professional level so please show no mercy. Even if I fail and make it worse, you’ll save me a ton of time and effort next time. You can think of the character as a vampire. Those two large masses on the left and right are the edges of large bat-like wings, the left wing has those bladed metal plates. I’m having a real problem making all that clear. I’m also not sure how to use those wings to improve the composition. All feedback is welcome, Thanks!

Hey guys, how would you improve it?

Recently I started to create a story based on this "superhero" I created a while back. The story will be as serious as the looks of this guy. Difficult to decide the sneakers model hehehe.

Hello guys, I'm looking for some feedback on this peace, would work some more on this, would like to hear your thoughts. Thank you

Hey everyone! Ive just joined this comunity to share my passion and get some critique from other artists. Its quite hard to find a legit comunity with focus on the concept art,so i am really happy i had discovered Proko. For start I am posting here one of my latest project, Alien survivor called Emzyg. Looking foward to your response and maybe some tips of what to get better. Thank you, and hope you guys have a great day! Šimon

Hello, there guys, I just finished this concept sheet for my OC Iris, I would love to get some feedback on the sheet, Is it lacking anything that is supposed to be there a concept sheet? I was also struggling with the anatomy of the torso in the middle pose, I think it looks awkward, not beautiful. I was also struggling with maintaining a likeness of the face. Any other feedback will be appreciated as well. Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead!

this is a painting i made for a dtiys challenge (just to credit, this is not my oc). i think im not sure about the mood, i am trying to present the character as stuggling and in a tense situation, just about to fail. i think the lighting and color doesnt really show the mood i was going for, and the expression is a bit blank. any ideas or critique are greatly appreciated, on theese or any topics you can think i can improve on. thanks !

Hello! I'm just sharing what I did when studying Marco Bucci's technique. The character was from an art prompt generator. It's so fun doing this, still not done rendering though.

Hello people! I recently remembered that I had purchased a character design & concept art class, so I started. Although he was more focused on the cartoonish character design, I continued taking the classes using my more realistic drawing. He explained more about the silhouette (which I had some advice from you guys on) and also the costume design. I'm still in doubt if the drawings I've done so far are good. For you to have a better understanding, I'll explain the character quickly: He is one of the main characters in my project. a 29-year-old man who lives in a remote village. He is a blacksmith and an ordinary villager who dreams of being someone important and seeing the world. My choice of silhouette was for the pose. I wanted a pose that emphasized sadness and shyness, but I had (I have, depending on your point of view) problems trying to draw the left arm (which is a mechanical arm), so I wanted suggestions for what to do in this case... I immersed myself in medieval costumes and did some tests with the silhouettes. I want something simple to emphasize its origin. As I already had some designs made by him, so I already had some idea of what I wanted.. Anyway, I accept all kinds of constructive criticism, tips and advice! I want to become a professional in this area.

Hello everyone, I am looking for feedback on this Character Design. He is the son of the Viking Leader (the second image). He is kind-hearted, unlike his father. He is Calm, Smart, and Brave. He is 20 to 25 years old. I am struggling with a few things, 1. I am struggling with making him look young and manly at the same time. 2. I am struggling to make him look royal and he just doesn't look like he is the son of a Viking Leader 3. His face just doesn't seem iconic to me, he looks like a generic soldier. 4. Also I am struggling with defining the material of the clothes. I know that there are a lot of things but I would really appreciate it if you took the time to help me. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help me out.

Some feedback I've given off this site that might be helpful!

Hey guys! I'm onto a new assingment for class. I have to create an image using the photobashing technique. This is the firs time ever I do photobashing so I'm not expecting much. We had to design an alien sea creature and then come up with a composition-The scene 9 is the one I'm going for-. The environment is a deep ocean under a thick ice surface on one of the many moons of a super massive gas giant. -It's something similar to the Europa moon- Any comment, tip or critique is welcome! Let me know your thoughts!

Hi, im Carlos! im a begginer artist who is trying to get into concept design: i have been lucky enough to get into online communities where i can post my practices. Im currently doing some prop design sketches once a week. Fundamentals in other areas of making images, like perspective or rendering are more clear to me, i know where to get the knowledge, but fundamentals of design are more vague. How do i check if my designs are clear or not? i think design is more about making choices but how do i know if im doing the right choices- The only principles that i can thing right now are this ones, this is my checklist 1. Function 2. Contrast 3. Big medium small 4. Shape motiffs and shape language

Hey this is a new concept about a character what i m working on. i would love to have some Comments and critique on it. doesn't matter what for example the belt part. or is it ok to just work furhter on it. is she good enought for a post on artstation Ps: bevor i forget her hair and blade are done like dat on purpose but i would love to brainstorm with you guys. how about the armor? anyway guys i hope you help me out to becouse i m not so sure if she is portfolio ready. should i add another 2 pages about iteration on her armore and other things or do you thing it is enought?

Hello everyone i tried to draw a human eyeball in melted form with centepede coming out from it

hello! I am preparing a portfolio focused on concept art, and I want to share it with you, I hope you can give me your opinion

Just made this drawing using color pencils and pigment liners. Please give me some feedback! This drawing is about a Yogi adventurer and his friend enjoying the view.

Hi evryone! Here some drawings made for a D&D campaign (personal project). I had a lot of fun doing them, but I'm not so sure about the results: I like something a little "cartoony", but i don't think i have succeeded in rendering different materials. Any advice to improve? Or in your opinion it's better to use a more realistic style?

Hey guys!!! I’m super pumped about this new website that the Proko team has put out for us. I guess this is both an appreciation post and an introduction to my art. So here you you have a couple of cowboy designs I did just for fun. Let me know what you think and let’s interact!

So here's the character after the critique some of you gave me, specially @seazeff who told me to tag him in the post. I attached the previous version so you can compare. Some of my thoughts: I feel like I learned a lot with this one. I look back at what I posted here and it's almost as if a differente, less prepared person did it. I used to not apply critiques to the work that I considered "done" or "almost done". I said to myself that I'd do it for the next piece, which sometimes did not happen either cause the subject was different or cause I forgot. Well, this time I fought till the end and I couldn't be happier. Sure it's not perfect but compared to how it was you could almost say it is!! haha Let me know what you think!

I know they’re not perfect but what do I need to improve

Hi, could I receive feedback on my personal design for a discord challenge. The brief was to design a human preservation tank. I decided to try something different to the usual cylindrical scifi glass tube design, and instead went with a 40s/50s automobile design language, not unlike that in Fallout. I have done a number of iterations, this is my third batch, and from here I plan to develop one (most likely B, or something new, if I do another batch, or edit them) into a more detailed 3/4 presentations. My main struggle at the moment is to figure out the design of the metal part at the front. I was also struggling with making it look less like a vehicle, and more like its actual purpose. For this I made attempts to have it resemble a bed. I would appreciate any critiques on the design. Thank you.

Hello, Below is an attached image of my study of someone else`s work. Of course, the less impressive one is my study. XD My question is not about how to copy better. I personally love and admire artworks with amazing shape language. I have been recently Practicing these types of images like the one attached below. My question is... Am I on the right track? Is there a better way to practice this? I really lack experience in backgrounds but I really want to get good at them So Show me a better way if you can please. Thank you VERY much!

Concept of an ancient aquaduct that defies gravity. What are your thoughts on it? I'm still struggling with colors. All feedback is welcome and advices are welcome!

Hello! I was hoping to get some feedback on this drawing I worked on a couple days ago. Next time I'm hoping to do something more dynamic,but this one was more about the rendering. Thank you for any help! :)

Hey! Here's a design I'm working on. I just wanted an honest critique on any matter: design, render, local values, color... I thought of him as a royal guard that has bigger aspirations and will do whatever it takes to fullfill his purpose. The archetype could be somehow similar to Scar from the Lion King

Hi, can anyone tell me which color options they think are the best. Just that, thank you for comenting. Also paint overs are welcome!

My meat grinder creature for the Proko challenge.

Hi everyone! I created this weird version of spongebob square pants. I show the painting process on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/uWBk-Pk9Isc Your feedback and advices are more than welcome!

Hey team. This is a small cast of character designs I created for my portfolio. I'm looking for some feedback on how to improve them, while keeping in mind they're meant to be animated and so draw many, many times. Thanks! PV

I was working on this critique- but the post seemed to have disappeared! So I'm sharing in hopes it could help in general. The main focus here being exaggerating a theme and allowing reference to enhance the design process!

hi all guys I don't know if this is the right section sorry if I'm wrong, I made this drawing to practice drawing from my imagination without using references, and I must say it's quite difficult, apart from the anatomy I'm studying I feel that there are errors especially in the part of the pelvis and legs, someone expert could help me understand and correct these errors thank you very much to all

a character I made yesterday

this is a working progress though it would be cool to show i will post the finished picture ✌

Been trying to create some Original Characters, have a general idea, was trying to improve the line art and finalization in mangá style, would like to let it as if we were reading some black e white painting comic.Any critiques,suggestions,tips and ideas if possible! thanks all!

Having some fun doing these line drawings for a recent commission for a friend. It was tricky figuring out line pressure and getting a style of line that I liked but I think I’ll do more of these and just put them up on Etsy to sell prints. I highly recommend finding a way to list your work for sale and with some print shops you don’t even have to do anything other than the original design. https://etsy.me/3y48Pyo (References purchase from posespace.com) If you like drawing you also might like sculpture so be sure to check out my sculpture course! Stay productive. Stay creative!

Hello there! I'm Nova, an aspiring writer & illustrator. I'm self taught and hope to learn from professionals, so I'm excited I found Proko 2.0 yesterday! Most of my works are illustrating a series of fantasy novels I write. This right here is my first character sheet. Feel free to tell me what you think! I'm looking forward to be part of this community. Best wishes, Nova

Just wanted to share, if somebody has feedback that's great too :)

Hello everyone! Here's the concept - a fishtank on wheels that you can drive across the bottom of the ocean, into a volcano, through a Garth Brooks concert, any hazardous environment imaginable. Inside is enough space to construct a small town. Basically the ultimate version of the RV from The Wild Thornberries. I need to improve on crosshatching and involving more dark values to define shapes. I am going to transfer to a piece of watercolor paper and try something I am more comfortable with. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Before I go into some details, I would really like if you give me some feedback for this =)

Hey everyone, I'm trying to work on my design skills some more along with my fundamental training. I'd like to know more about the concept design process from peers here as well, instead of just online tutorials. I tried to spend as little time as possible on each of these, so I spent around 5-10 mins coming up with each design. I picked a simple topic, prop design for games- an ancient, eastern, fantasy kitchen table set of sorts in line with The Elder Scrolls' fantasy artstyle. I started with a teapot. I'd like your feedback and guidance with respect to design work before I go forward, particularly on how to render materials (or in this case a material sphere) for the 3D artist, and for my own reference when I begin to paint it out.

Hello everyone! I love to design characters, and I think I'm some kind of intermediate artist now. Fundamentals are still lacking, especially regarding human anatomy - but what I'd like to know is: What exactly looks wonky about my artworks? Are they interesting or rather boring, and why? How high/low is their quality? Is my art style generic and how would you describe it? What does it feel like? I know what I struggle to draw & to envision, I know many of my limitations very well, but these questions are just impossible for me to answer (well meaning friends & family can't either). If anyone would be willing to help me here, I'd be so happy. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I have been doing digital art for about a year now and before that I mainly did reference work. I've found that I really enjoy character design and illustration, in about half of my projects I would say that I just can't get past a certain point, whether its finding the piece uninteresting or the I don't like the color palette; I just cannot move past it, it feels off, and I don't like wasting my time when I could be doing something better for it. This is a piece that I started and I was really enjoying how it was coming out, in the composition/color/design wise however I just feel stuck now. I tried to move forward and start blending some of the shades however I don't know if it's the color palette or the brush I'm blending with?!? To say the least, I am frustrated and I would greatly appreciate and feedback!

I have been drawing for a long time, but I always used references. I was never able to draw from imagination... but I always wanted to. I tried these from imagination. I did the 'scribble until something appears' type of approach and just created some quick characters. I was not going for any level of detail... just wanted something that looks like a character. I did each of these in just a few minutes a piece. Let me know what you think of my first attempt... I am open to comments and critiques.

Hello, there guys I recently tried this Ai image generating program called DiscoDiffusion and I am impressed and scared at the same time. I got the image that wasn't quite there and painted over it quickly. Here's the final result. I would love to hear your views on the piece and thoughts on this new technology and the future of artists. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I was designing this palace for a personal project. I did the silhouette iterations as suggested by @Josh Sunga and I landed on this design as my final design. I was really struggling with the colors of the palace and I wanted some help with it from you guys. This palace belongs to a very prosperous king. The palace is huge and below the castle live the common people. It is based in medieval (not medieval European just medieval) times and is situated in a deserty landscape (not too deserty like Alladin but with a little greenery.) It has a big river flowing beside it. I wanted help with the colors and if you have any suggestions regarding the design then please let me know as well. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day ahead. PS I have also attached the reference sheet that I used

Here's a cave creature design that I came up with. This is my first real attempt at drawing from imagination without reference since starting Proko lessons a couple months ago. Any criticism or critiques are welcome!

Hey Guys! I haven't been active at all in the last month, but I was pretty loaded with class work. This is a character I had to design for class. The description I was given: "British spy. Female. Shanghai. 1937" After getting to the desired design, I had to scultp the character in Zbrush. This was my first ever full figure done in 3D, so it was quite challenging. Let me know your thoughts!! Thanks!
