no minors, please! On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate me on color/shading, anatomy, composition, and design individually? Just trying to figure out what I need to fix/avoid like the plague :3 (although there isn’t much composition going on in my profile lol)Jul 13, 2021

color - 9/10, very consistent to desaturated doodle land
shading - 6/10, the lowest one D: your blanket on a chair shows that u can draw shadows pretty well, but i dont see a lot of shadows in your other pieces (ex. mushroom rabbit human). basically i think your clothes could use some more folds and shadows
anatomy - 8/10, i know nothing about this but nothing in your art looks too off lol
composition - 7/10, i also know nothing about this... but i feel like you leave a lot of empty space. Like for ur tan/beige character sheets, maybe you could include more items?? idk
design - 10/10, your designs and stories are so creative and ajdwjndsjsj

•Hmm, I’m not a pro artist but here’s my opinion
Shading: 7/10 I see that your shading on the hair (dragon girl) is really gorgeous, the shading follow the form. However the shading on the clothes looks a bit less detailed than the hair (and the face). This slightly different level of shading emphasis is not a big problem, just something I want to point out.
Coloring: 8.5/10 I think your color choosing is great, it goes really well with each other. I observe that dull colors is your main theme and you execute it nicely.
Your work is admirable and remarkable! I love your work;3
keep it up!

•Colour - 8/10
Shading - 8/10
Anatomy - 7/10
Composition - 6/10
Design - 7.5/10
Your colouring is good and you have a very obvious palette when it comes to your work. There isn't much to note, except that some experimentation could lead to changes that benefit the style.
The shading is overall pretty good. The very gentle shading works with the style but you should experiment more with interesting lighting colours and dynamics. Don't be afraid to use darker shading in very shadowed areas, and don't be afraid to make areas that are closely covered by an object more harshly shadowed in comparison to an area that is gradually turning away from the light.
Overall, your anatomy is pretty good. It's not perfect, that is very difficult to achieve, but it's still good. Try more variation with your poses, and try to display more action within your poses so that the characters look less stiff and static. References are helpful no matter your skill level. Maybe try some pose studies?
In terms of composition, there isn't much to say. More research could be put into different types of composition, such as the rule of thirds, perspective and the golden ratio. A lot of your compositions are very similar, with a character standing central frame, often with not a lot happening in the background. Mess around with different character placements and inserting them into an environment. Doing so will add more intrigue and atmosphere to your pieces, though due to your shading and coloring you already have an obvious aesthetic and atmosphere. More attention to the composition will help overall, though.
In terms of design, they look coherent and as if they're part of the same story/made by the same artist. There's an obvious "staple" that you made it. However, more variation in skin tone and body type makes for more interesting and unique designs. Don't be afraid to try character features that are out of your comfort zone, or character features that aren't conventional in media.
Overall, you have a very good style and I enjoy seeing it :)

I really enjoy all of your art and I think you’re doing great in all of these categories! Your shading is especially good, I was rlly impressed by it!
For anatomy and composition I felt like you haven’t rlly done much with it yet but what you do have is pretty solid.
And your designs are good, i rlly like them! The only reason I didn’t rate it 10 was because I think as you improve in other ways naturally your designs can improve too.
