Got any more wisdom to share on “diagnosing” art problems? This is the kind of info that would be really helpful to know but nobody seems to really talk about.

I'm limited by my ability to only be able to bring stuff up to talk about when I see something that I think can be improved. As far as what I look for in high quality art and notice when it's absent, this article covers the bases. The fundamentals of art are nebulous concepts that become more concrete as an artist develops their own skill.

edricluffie works in the same space as I do, painting realism/semi-realism, so my gaze is attuned to such styles and I can pick stuff out easier. When it comes to work as high quality as edricluffie's usually I can only pick out one or two things that I can see need improvement because they're at a higher skill level than I.

However, for artists below a certain skill threshold, it's easier to instruct them how to develop their fundamental art skills further rather than pick out every little thing that needs improvement. Which, for beginners, in there work there's vast rooms for improvement.

If you want advice, I can dispense it more effectively when I have an artwork I can critique. I know KF probably isn't the place people even want unsolicited critique, but I like helping people.

That article was very informative. I mostly ask because when I saw the picture you posted I also thought something looked WRONG about it (...like the body was too flat?) but couldn’t properly articulate in my mind WHY I felt that way. Color value is probably the key thing I’ve been completely ignoring when drawing because I wasn’t aware of it as a concept, so I guess that’s another thing to look out for when painting stuff in the future.

Also, I think this thread is a great place for unsolicited critique. Given what you’d expect from the fucking Kiwi Farms, this thread is surprisingly non-judgmental. Even if I can’t always give the best advice, being far from an expert artist myself, I do like chiming in with my feelings when I can because I know I sure love when other people comment/critique my stuff.

I need to get better at anatomy, especially limbs, but don't know where to start.

A few months back I doodled this as a joke while on discord. Sometimes on my server we draw stupid stuff while on voice. It wasn't meant to be a good drawing but I'd say it turned out okay, better than expected at least.

It's a dude with a pot full of spaghetti-os on his head.

Looking for some tips. I've been drawing in a doofy anime style for most of my life, and I barely w𝑒𝑒ned off it a month ago.

I'm trying to go for a style that enunciates the most recognizable/important parts of the characters (ex. Roy's dragonlike features, Maya's incredibly bushy hair and lack of height, Claus's various chimera parts) while drawing less attention to the boring parts. (Also, I accidentally gave Maya long monkey arms. Sigh.)

I made this initially for a Dark Souls kickstarter artbook, but I haven't started it yet due to the pandemic, so I'm hoping for some feedback here. I also wrote stories for most of the art and you can read it here. For more close ups, you can go here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rAEbQ5


An immortal god desires no true heir, for if he is able, he will rule forever.

Every children that is born from Gwyn, is meant to serve a purpose in establishing his kingdom. Such was the vision of Gwyn and the 4 Lords, that they would carve their divine empire to every inch of the world, and rule unopposed for eternity.
But Gwyn is neither omnipotent, nor omnipresent. To establish his vast kingdom, he needs to be able to reach out and counter his increasing opponents. And thus a son was born, molded for the very purpose of war.
Taking up the mantle of God of War, he grew up to be fearsome and powerful, wielding the same lightning powers that Gwyn use to eliminate the dragons. He also fashioned himself a unique weapon, that serves to destroy the dragons even more efficiently, which was soon adapted by Gwyn’s own personal knight, Dragonslayer Ornstein. Together, they were a force to be reckoned, vanquishing opponents in the far corners of the world as if Gwyn himself was there.

Yet, beyond the foresight of the gods, the God of War turn against his father to protect the very beings he was made to destroy. Rumor has it that his betrayal happened when he met Kalameet the Ancient Dragon, as both of them were later seen side by side destroying Gwyn’s army and anything that threaten what’s left of the dragons. Gwyn was furious, that his most powerful general is now his enemy. It wasn’t because of his kinship, that Gwyn did not kill his son, but because of what he has become. The God of War possess almost the same power that Gwyn has, or perhaps even more powerful for he has been molded by numerous battles, and he has the almighty dragons to aid him. Besting him is a big gamble that Gwyn will not risk, and even victory might cost a very high price.

And thus the safest choice was to cast him out, if he can be restricted to a limited boundary beyond the kingdom, then his influence and capacity to retaliate will be severely limited. The God of War was also wary of the consequences of retaliation. While he is mighty, the dragons are endangered, and his numbers cannot compete with the entire army of the gods. Thus both made the silent agreement of not stepping over the boundaries and stayed within their domain. In act of fury and pettiness, Gwyn erases every single trace of his son’s presence from the kingdom. There will be no mention of him in any records, and no image of him shall remain. Since then, Gwyn never had another son. And the god of war became, the Nameless King.

I’ll be posting more art and stories, so please follow me to be updated!

I made a new account just a little while ago, but I've been meaning to post some things on this thread for like a year lol.
Now that I've abandoned all social media I really miss seeing other artist's drawings a lot. This thread is great! My fellow kiwis are full of talent!

I didn't want to comment on other people's drawings before submitting my own art, because it didn't seem fair. It's mostly unfinished stuff, but now at least I've introduced myself, in a way.
