I’m thinking there’s something missing here, maybe. My husband says it’s done.

Things I could add:

1- flip flops on the tiles 2- make a few tiles look wet, as if someone has climbed out or jumped in 3- feet or legs swimming off the painting in the bottom 4- a white pool border (extra set of tiles)

Any other suggestions are welcome.

But essentially, what do you think?

I usually prefer my paintings to have a sense of mystery/uneasiness in them, so I like the “not sure how far away/big this is meant to be” aspect, which would essentially be ruined by adding objects that would create a scale.

I made this with Krita, I'm not really good at shadows so I was wandering how well do you think this piece turned out. Is there anything I could do better ?. Any other criticism/advice you wanna share ?

Beginner 😞I need help

Hi my name is Buck and I need help mainly just making this painting more interesting or improving on what I can do before I start this is not to disrespect any religion, I am religious myself and it is only use to express myself through the only way I know how to and the only way that feels comfortable for me and myself not for you and yourself. But anyway not sure what I can add to the composition to make it more eye catching. Thank you if you help 😿

Yes, I know the angles wrong. It's too late to fix that, my art teacher said it was fine and I'd get better with more practice.

Second time using pastels, just looking for tips to make it a bit better.

Beginner More pose practice with basic shapes. What do you guys think?

Tried to use different shapes for the hips and ribcage. the boxy feet stayed tho, but then again, at some places, the feet are different.

Beginner Need advice on this digital drawing!

The biggest things I noticed: I struggled a lot with the clothing and I feel like it looks awful, the hand position doesn’t make sense with the angle of the wrist, I don’t think I did well rendering the hair and I feel like it might be too close in value to the background, I was also told that the lipstick on her hand looks like her nails and makes it look like her fingers are backwards

Would love advice on how to improve for my next piece, also general advice on digital art would be great since I don’t have much experience with it

I’m spending too long staring at and working on different sections little by little. I don’t really know what to focus on.

Intermediate Is there anything about my art that sticks out to you, negatively or positively? Be it character design, art style, or proportions?

I have been going back and forth with this and at this point i think i need an objective opinion.

Should I bring the figure's robe all the way to the bottom of the canvas or just let it float?

Beginner Trying to find a voice - or a subject matter - or something?

Hello! I am very new to drawing, but I’m absolutely in love with it. Up until three months ago the best I could draw would be a box or a basic chair. My problem is that I can only draw what I see. Which means all of my drawings are of everyday, relatively boring objects. I am not going for realism - I would like to be an expressive drawer. If you have any suggestions for subject matter or something else that would lend itself to a “voice” in my drawings, I would appreciate it. As well as an honest critique of some recent work.

I made the collage and background and I edited everything digitaly. I can't tell if I like it or if it's giving 3rd grader art project. Any tips or opinions welcome! ✨
