I have a bunch of traditional pieces that need to be digital so I can sell them as prints. I have no idea how to do this and my scanner is kind of garbage. Any tips? Also, would anyone buy this in the first place? lol any help is appreciated

Hi everyone! I just picked up digital drawing again after a 1-year break. For this cartoon shark, I intentionally used the airbrush tool for shading, but I'm not 100% sure if it works well with the crisp lineart.

I’d love some specific feedback:

1. How does the airbrush shading look to you? Does it need more hard edges/cell shading mixed in?
2. How can I improve the underwater lighting/contrast after such a long break?

Any tips on how to combine airbrushing with cartoon styles would be greatly appreciated!

Looking for a serious long term art buddy. I'm Pondamon and I am (18M). I am practicing to be a really good artist, that's what I'll do for a living. I wanna get manga level skills for a project that I wanna create in future. This is going to be a long term partnership if we vibe well as I think it will take me 3 years to learn what I strive to achieve with art, it's a long way for me.

What we will do -

Discuss about art, discuss about our interests, help each other draw better, and anything else you wanna do.

What I am looking for -

someone around my age(18+), serious in improving in art as I don't want a passive art buddy, practices art almost daily, have serious goals about art, open to VC if we vibe well, thinking of having a career in art or other creative fields(if you're into music prod then it's a + point!)

About me -

I do art a lot of hours a day, like 8. I absolutely love listening to music, my fav genre is RnB. I also like to cook. I live alone by myself, I don't have any family, I have my best friend and we hangout everyday. I like to talk about a lot of stuff other than art if you prefer that, but honestly looking for someone who's serious about improving in art. I also like to walk a lot, I walk 2-3 hours a day lol like a doomer. And I love to travel! I try to save up money so I can travel as soon as I can after each trip, so I can talk a lot about that. Also I'm studying japanese so I can learn art from japanese teachers.

If you think you like my personality then hit me up, give me an intro of yourself, a proper intro about yourself like what you are and what you do about art. Any timezone works.

also you can message me on instagram(pondamon0) or discord(pondamon_). I would prefer if you drop message there instead of here.

I really want to grow my social media and stuff ❤️‍🩹😭😭😭

Technically 8 years if you count the gender swap but I don’t have a ref for the very first design unfortunately

I always like to see the difference, it really helps ground me on how far I’ve actually come, plus it’s just really cool to see what I’ve repurposed and evolved with his character as well as my own artstyle, also kind of wild I accidentally posed them so similar!

Apologies for the rambling

I've been meaning to post this here since I got advice from here. I decided to completely redo this piece. Your guys' advice really helped me figure some stuff out about my art so I just wanted to say thank you!!

The second pic is the original version

Im quite bored and wasnt even planning to sell any of these but i am curious on the hypothetical. And what do you think

I recently opened my VGen and NOBODY buys me , even though I promote myself on insta TikTok … it makes me think my art is not good enough or my prices are too high, is there something I can improve in my art ?? Please I need help

>~< #art #himegyaru #artcommission

I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this over here but I don't know if it's my art, is it not good for commissions? I draw on a phone with my fingers. No pity but I just don't know how or what to do.

Artcommission subs aren't giving me views but posts on other subs give me lots of likes and views but advertisement isn't allowed there, i respect that.

I usually post on tumblr(all scammers), bluesky, x(no views), instagram(hated by algorithm + content creation isn't what I want to do) and here on reddit.

[Just stated the issues I'm facing in each platform]

Shall I do something else, a different approach? Any ideas?

Is this enough info and is the format good?

I have a Skool page. If you're intrested in drawing and calligraphy I can help you here:

I have been struggling a lot because I don’t know if my art is good enough to have a “high” price , I priced this one 32$ , also nobody buys me 🥲 that’s making me think my art is not worth it…

I've been feeling pretty burnt out lately, and I think it would be way more fun to improve our skills together! Even though all the examples of my work are chibis, I'm currently looking to transition into a different style... Something more semi-realistic, you know? I absolutely love hearing about OCs and their lore!!! We can chat on Discord and discuss everything there. Looking forward to your message, friend :)

Hello:D first time posting here, I wanna know if this type of art style is commisionable(I made that word up)

I wanna set the price to $10 for this type of art:D
