What can I do to improve my drawings?

[DiceyGrammar]

What makes you think I'm bragging?

the fact that on your last account you pranced around with an attitude like you were the greatest artist ever, and now you're asking the same community for art advice?

yeah no sorry man, i dont buy it. you don't really think this place has any constructive feedback for your work, this is just an attention grab (hope you have better luck than last time!)

Well I posted stuffty drawings that took me 5 seconds to do, it would be silly to take those posts seriously. No one probably did but you and hawf because you are bith synonymous with conceited.

You criticize everyone on post pictures of yourself by calling them skinny, ugly, overweight, bad clothing style, etc. Because you think you're the hottest guy on the planet. No one likes you either, anyone who does is a tool and doesn't realize you perpetually insult them.

Hawf just dumps all his art here instead of dumping on a real art site because he knows no one will pay attention to it. Enough said.

I did ask for help because I struggled with some parts and I thought they wouldn't notice and those parts people pointed out and told me how to fix them. If you think my art is high calibre or some other predispotions you have then it doesn't mean I can't ask for help.

tl;dr If you think "woolyz is tew gewd to ask for help, hes a trollin brother" you need to stop acting like a child, how do you think people get good in the first place?

I blame Fragger for the general belief and attitude that every has to be in a megathread.

If I was jealous I would make a megathread and dump all my art in it.

imo you'd go into his thread and criticize him, post your own work in his thread trying to legitimize your criticisms and then put him down whenever you got the chance

wait

yeah no you've already done that, my bad!

arguing with boltster more like ending your blockland career before it started

You might as well have not replied at all cause that is the most void post I've ever read.

Bolster and Taboo are mad because I asked for advice and they said it's already good so I must be trolling.

Also you should see the before-and-after after listening to shading advice from these forums. You should also know, where ever I go to ask for advice I get trolled EXACTLY like this everytime, the only time I don't is when I ask a professional artist for help personally.

Facial features could be arranged better. The nose and mouth seem to be pointing in different directions, and the eyes / eyebrows can be better aligned / proportioned. Mostly stuff regarding symmetry.

You can change the way the particles are blurred to give a better sense of depth. The ellipses that appear to be coming from the crystal could really benefit from this (namely the ones "up close").

The spacing between some strands makes the hair look like it was drawn with a premade brush. Try making it more natural in appearance. Adding more shading could help.

I hope what I said helps. I've done everything I could to nitpick. These things aside, it's quite nice. All the details really help flesh out the picture.

Oh yeah I forgot to fix that, I vaguely remember that I was going to draw her facing the side a bit but never changed some of the angles. Also those aren't eyebrows, they are more like marking or stripes, but how would I go about blurring the particles?

Are you talking about motion blur or gaussian blur?

[NoZoner]

For the big snowy circular particles, it'd be nice if you could increase the variation of gaussian blurring between particles of different sizes (have the ones closer to her face less blurry and vice versa, stuff like that) to be a bit more like this

As for the more elliptical ones ... hmm. Looking at the picture again, the two really big ones don't seem as out-of-place anymore, though they still look a little plain. I think it's more than just the blurring at this point, and I don't want to get terribly specific about them, so it's up to you :s
