/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I was kinda worried I'd end up just ignoring all advice, which seems to be the case since my initial instinct is just to handwave everything away qwq

>might want to upgrade to a better art program
I actually started on FireAlpaca before I downgraded to PaintNet, I feel like I can hide flaws behind a lack of detail, completely stopped using layers pretty recently too
>swipe likes with a decent amount of space to each other from one side to another
What do you mean by this? The background is also /vaguely/ copied from a photograph, so not that much compositional thought going on there (if you mean that).
>give the girl some proper eyes
I'm actually quite proud of these quick line eyes (although they end up looking quite bad if I make them too dense), before i generally just made a semicircle connecting to the eyebrow, which was far harder to get right or improve after drawing.

>deep ignorance of certain fundamentals
Primarily color theory, right? I have quite a feeling that my colors suck. I use some NES color pallete I downloaded for a project years ago, with occasionally shifting something around when I need something more specific.

>you could go a lot further if you actually tried
This has been a constant statement in my entire life, kind of insane to hear someone say it over my hobbies too

I've generally sacrificed a lot of detail to make myself have more fun while drawing. Pic related is one from a month or so ago, back when I used to fully color stuff in and just generally draw more properly. Drawing the lazy way is totally addicting; I made like, 7 portraits in one day once. (I usually make 1 drawing every couple days (a laziness issue) ) I'm not sure if that's a good thing but damn is it fun.
