Hello, all, Tundra here.
I have been doing art for almost my whole entire life. I have drawn on regular paper, then on school things like tests and assignments, and have been improving...somewhat. A Lot of people look at my art and tell me I am a great artist, or "Ever think of selling your art?" kinds of comments. The issue I'm having here, is that sometimes, I will look at my art, and feel like there is something off about it. I have a habit of comparing my art to others, and it kind of makes me wonder if I'm ever going to be as good as some of my favorite artists. The issue here, I know, is that I shouldn't compare myself to others, and should just draw to my heart's content, but sometimes, it gets so hard to NOT compare myself to others.
Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT trying to get attention with the art I do, BUT, I am trying to satisfy my own thirst for better art skill. I love to draw what I draw, I just want to do better. I know, I know, practice makes perfect, right? Well, it doesn't seem all that simple to me. I actually feel like I have not improved much, and that can probably be seen in the art I post on FA and DeviantART. Both places hold a lot of my recent works, so feel free to take a look if you want.
What I am posting for, is a little critique, and a little help in getting some of the things I already do to look better. Here are the two artists that I find have the most BEAUTIFUL looking art I have ever seen... Kilian Kuro and Cloudsen...These two are my absolute favorites, as of the time I'm making this post. They have some of the BEST coloring skills I have seen. I look at their art, and then I look at mine, and I think, "How the heck do I do that kind of thing?" And before you ask, no, I do not want to be a copycat completely, I still want to make things my way, but there are some of their skills I hope to learn how to do. Especially the coloring, and the poses, and some of the other things that make their art so dang nice.
I'll tell you this, though, I do think I am doing better than I was back a couple of years ago. I just think my current level is just a bit stale, and needs some dang improvement. I'm NOT saying I dislike my art because of lack of favorites or comments, but I do still want to improve so I find it more appealing.
For any extra information The things I currently use...
Huion Kamvas 13, and Corel Painter 2021.
For 2D animating and 3D Modeling: Blender
I would also like to go into doing something, like a comic. This could be seen in my recent NSFW art.
I have been drawing for the longest time, but I feel like I need to be better, in order to satisfy my own thirst for quality.
If you have anything to help with writing as well, I would appreciate that as well.
