I’m really trying to improve and I’m sort of a lost, floundering fish in the open air here. I keep guessing what I need to improve at, but since I’m not in school I don’t have any mentors or teachers, or even any peer critique. I know that outside of a structured critique session the idea might be intimidating and challenging, but I like to think of Tumblr as a community where we can build off of each other’s ideas, like we would in a classroom setting. And I welcome harshness! So you don’t have to worry about hurting my feelings, if you are indeed worried about that. If you don’t know where to start with my work, I’ll show you a few recent pieces here that would be a good place to start critiquing. If you want to, you can even redline them! (My submit box is open.)

Here are a few recent ones, as a jumping point:

(I swear to god I will draw a background soon.)

Tell me where I went wrong with the coloring! Point out problems with my style! Critique my composition! It’ll be fun and I will love you forever.
