You gotta learn feet, arms and hands. The composition is very flat.

Improve your perspective (foreshortening).
The pov is from a low angle which should affect all elements in the artwork, not just his torso.
Look at the sword and tell me with a straight face that it follows the perspective of his body.
Your stuff will always look amateurish if you don't INTERNALIZE perspective.

Also, stop opening your own threads, you aren't special.

>>7164377
Study composition, everything in your image looks equally detailed, lit, and saturated, there's no prioritizing or gaze-leading.
Also use one of the existing feedback threads.

Anon this thread is my promise to spend 12 hours a day on art. So help me. I know it's not the /beg/ thread etc.

paint over. First change I made was just 'uncropping' it, to make it more dramatic. I find most other things I felt like changing were related to values, focal points etc,leading the eye. You also have an issue making the bounce light after a core shadow as bright as the light side, especially noticed on his leg, which flattens the form. I reduced the frequency of detail in some areas, around the dragon head mainly, so much busy highlights tends to look confusing, like what is a spike, what is a gap between cast shadows.
Hope this is helpful for you.

Let's try not fight amongst ourselves. We are all trying to make art.

>>7164377
Here's an alternate take to >>7164437

Exaggerate the FUCK out of the proportions. You drew him at a height of about 7.5 heads, which is realistic but in a fantasy setting makes him look like a bit of a manlet.

Search up a picture of Warhammer's Emperor and count his height - it's about 10 heads! Not realistic at all but fits well in an epic fantasy setting.

And why is the dragon so small...is he slaying a crocodile??

>>7165276
God Damm that was good. Can you review my other art? >>7164396

I think your overall fundamentals and execution ability is solid, and your stylistic range is broad.

To take it to the next level, I would study pieces by professional artists - Nicol Bolas for example. Break apart what makes them work and identify the difference between their art and yours.

If you examine carefully, there are all sorts of parlor tricks that he does to make their art more appealing. For instance, almost all of his works have a background that's dark around the edges but blooms towards the center, with a dark character silhouette. This concentrates contrast towards the main subject, drawing visual focus.

It might make sense to draw your next few pieces in the style of an artist you admire, or even attempt a 1:1 copy. I'm not saying "make this your style", but once you understand someone's style well, you learn what makes it work and can adjust it to make your own.

Also try to find tutorials and Youtube videos from artists you like. You will learn incrementally if you "just draw", but having somebody else spell out the steps for you is like cheat codes and will help you go 10x faster.

Hope that helps!
