    Forgot to address extra for animation

    @ Purins  aa she is so cute, definitely accepted 💞:lazesxy:

    and yes we can add the worm tail! Same w/ the pose, but she might have to be drawn as seen from a slightly more "frontal" angle if thats ok (so that everything fits the canvas)

     

    The total will be $33 (the 5 extra is for the added complexity of worm + magazine ; + 3 for animation)

    i'll request payment once sketch is approved ♡

    Master Art Critique & Pricing Advice

    in Critique & Pricing

    Posted

    @Kikitchi Your art is a perfectly nice soft and clean style! Its definitely worth a lot more than $10. i think maybe you could try adjusting some things to make your art more appealing for buyers, instead of making the prices low

     

    (i'll be just giving my opinion based on what i prefer when buying art from someone (+ i am also someone who sells premades & customs. i understand preference in art is subjective and i dont claim to know everything that u should or shouldnt do <3)

     

    For your art style i believe the lines are very important and they can change everything. I love the lines in these 2 examples below. They are bolder and have a cool effect where the outer lines are dark and the inner lines are colored:

    https://cdn.arthaven.co/monthly_2021_12/B4E2D284-29DA-48A9-8854-BE45CACE7345.png.d20cbc3e5ce61d0dedd9ef921dd985cb.png1393639241_Untitled_Artwork13.thumb.png.608d16bd846f76ad0033bf240624f553.png

     

    The other examples are nice and while they do keep consistency with the other ones, their lines are thin and more spread apart, and I feel like they don't "support" the drawing as much as in the first examples. The way you did the line work in the first examples makes the drawing even more interesting in my opinion

    The way i see it your style is delicate and soft with minimal shading, almost flat color, which means the lines are a strong contributing factor to build the shape of your drawing, increasing the appeal and impact of it.

     

    Another thing to think about regarding the appeal of art haven art is to make it look good when used as a DP. i think the lines come into play in this factor too:

    i think the one on the left looks better as a DP and just overall more impactful as a drawing. The lines are more noticeable and your amazing looking linework is being shown off! It's also making the drawing look more structured; in the example on the right i almost can't see the color differences on the lineart and the lines are not bringing attention at all, so i feel like an important detail that would make the drawing look even more interesting is lost. The colors and everything else about it are beautiful still.

     

    Another thing i'd like to give advice on is the perspective on the face. in this drawing for example I assume you are going for a cute and stylized look, so the perspective isnt 100% realistic, just like in some anime styles.

    0E1B9944-5E9B-415A-A6EB-E8C55B278464.png.5e6366ce6c656246bf5d3eb6a2cf685f.png

    But the way the nose is so detailed with highlights and shadows, with nostrils and a nose bridge, it reveals the volume and direction the entire head "should" be facing if it was in real life. I feel the nose brings more dimension to the face of these characters you've drawn and in my opinion this can be used in your favor by making the the face's perspective always the same as the nose's perspective (which would bring dimension to the drawing and give it more appeal, in my opinion). it'd look something like this:

    image.png.bf77e6397f833238fc9c4ec1a0bf411f.png

     

    I see you already did this in these (the head's perspective and angle already matches the nose's):

    1ADF4E24-94E2-42C0-BD20-443BB2225FD3.png.ea7afb42a54635bec3466c0f491c4784.pngB4E2D284-29DA-48A9-8854-BE45CACE7345.png.d20cbc3e5ce61d0dedd9ef921dd985cb.png

     

    Basically i feel like the nose has perspective that is too realistic for any drawing that doesn't follow the same 3D perspective, if that makes sense. And if you use the nose as a way to reveal dimension it will only work if the head's perspective matches it; but if you do I think all your drawings will look even more amazing (i think the one done for SweetieBear is a good example of that already happening)

     

    Either that, or i'd make the nose less realistic in all drawings (like some anime noses that are just one line/shadow) bc it's a style in which the nose doesn't necessarily reveal or follow the perspective.

    example taken from wikihow:

    image.png.3c5c385063d24819989c7fa579e35b9e.png

     

    basically this image.png.3d14571229b828d1656ca39f0afd0adc.png instead of thisimage.png.5a204c61d6252cecd5967921101ab451.png haaha? But i think the nose you do is already so pretty, i wouldn't change it, only thing i would do is give the advice of making the rest of the face always match its perspective if the nose has any perspective, i just think it looks better and brings dimension and would be more appealing for selling. Drawings that do not follow realistic perspective are just as valid & cool:walove:there isn't just 1 way to go.

     

    And finally of course there is more than 1 kind of preference in this forum and I dont know if this is a thing you would like to do, but if it is, maybe you could bring more attention to the eyes by adding a little more shine to them? That would look more appealing in my opinion and also is what ive observed to be the preference on art haven. i dont think you have to do that if this wouldn't appeal to you, though.

     

    I hope this helps <3 :lazesxy: if anything was confusing and you want to ask about it please feel free to
