2/10. Koala noses because... why? I get the Tarutaru, but not the other character.

Also, it's kind of screaming creepy to me.

As far as drawling skills go then I think u did a good job, the coloring is good and the detail is good, so youre a very good drawler, u got talent.

The theme though confuses me, what am I looking at ?, at first I thought maybe it's a father lala and little daughter relaxing, then I was like he looks to young to be her dad so maybe it's a really affectionate brother sister lala.

I could see where people would get pedo vibes but I choose to believe that's not what you are going for, so I'm gonna stick to my guns and say it's a lala brother and his little lala sister having a heart filled platonic brother sister moment.

Well, was going for a Tarutaru and Lalafell sisters here, but alright. I mean, in my own little universe, these races exist in the same world, and rather than creating hybrids the child would take the species of either parent. I'm guessing a lot of them are from the US because most people there see sibling affection as something sexual(as a matter of fact, intimacy there is always seen as such) which is why a lot of them find it..creepy.

4/10
hair way to shiny, likes its ment to be greasy.
Not bad, just kindof lacks detail and depth.

Colors are kinda flat, and the musculature just looks creepy. Like the way the muscles flow on right one is just.. wrong. And the left one has weird dimensions with the arm. Hair looks ok, lips on the right one are kinda weird. And the nose on the left one just creeps me out. 3/10, looks flat and off putting.

2/10.

> There’s no solid light direction. At all.
> Pillow shading
> Zero line weight variation - this can look good in certain styles, but not with this
> Overly detailed hair, with almost no details anywhere else
> Very wonky anatomy
> Random highlights? That don’t serve a purpose and look out of place on the piece.
> Animal nose on the lalafell(?) for no apparent reason.
> Uninteresting colors and zero dynamic posing. I fall into the mistake myself of thinking a pose is dynamic when it’s static, so don’t feel discouraged. All it takes is more practice.

I am not trying to act senpai here, but I do have a few years in my bag of drawing history. Here is my advices from my personal experience, it will save you years of progress.

1. Learn the basic first, facial, anatomical structures, pov. This is the most important one before you want to go anywhere.

2. Go wild on sketch first, don't go right into detail and finalized line at the beginning, this apply to each and every drawing, this is the period you want to make sure the anatomical structures and scale, and pov are similar to your imagination/planning.

3. Don't stubborn over one tiny spot or line and try to make it prefect, each line and spot are "interacting" with others in the drawing. Just because you drew a perfect line, it doesn't mean it is perfect for the drawing.

4. Grab yourself a pen tablet if you are into digital drawing, you don't have to go full piggy-bank-breaking model, many tablet without monitors are cheap and you can do great art with them. Don't bother with mouse unless you are going super heavy with OCD for perspective background field, mouse is just inferior for character drawing.

5. Get some artists/art styles you like and try to duplicate their traits, you can mixed multiple of them and pick parts you like the most out of different artists. It is impossible to 100% duplicate someone's style, and don't bother on that. If you like what you did but it is different from your "reference", keep yours. You will eventually develop your own unique style the further you go.

6. Don't burn yourself out, if you can't draw something at that moment, leave it, put it aside. Go find some poor primals to slay.

7. You style will change, only becomes less frequently until you slowly settle with one, but will never stop changing. (mine still shifting here and there after years) So don't worry if it is changing for the good.

8. Get used to one drawing software, all of them can do 99% of the same things. Try SAI, Clipstudio, they are more friendly to drawing.

These are the advices I wish someone has told me at the beginning of my journal. You have a long road ahead, a lot shorter if you take these advices. Don't worry if you can't get half as good as the artists you like, you will eventually surpass one after another. (I did). You will be bombarded by mean words by someone who never drawn anything pass a stick figure, or ignored by your favorite artists, you will see artworks seem to have less effort got way more attraction. Keep going, remember, you are DRAWING, not attention seeking.
