Rate my art... These were made in Paint and Medibang

I love these!

 

I think you should keep practicing and seek out some tutorials. I am not a visual artist, so can cannot provide any specific pointers. Your characters do have very expressive faces though, and I can see you put some effort into the shading.

 

People on the internet are cruel.

 

I agree, your expressive faces are the highlight. Many people draw really realistic and detailed bodies but with expressionless, doll-like faces consistently. Are you interested in learning to draw people? (or can you already)?

 

Well, there's plenty of guides for drawing manga. Sometimes practicing realism can help you with stylized drawing (like manga art types), so maybe pull up a picture of a person and try drawing what you see? A really good art teacher once told me something like "realism is simple once you recognize the contours/understand the shape, it takes effort to abstract something".

And what is manga/cartooning but abstraction of the human form to whatever basics the artist considers necessary? If you start with realism, it can improve your cartoons/manga in the long run because you'll understand the idea of comics as abstraction. Instead of drawing an idea of what manga looks like, you're drawing a scale from realistic to fully abstracted (stick figure) and thus will have many more options (whether you want a nose or not, or if you want full lips or a line). It'll help outline the difference between normal comic characters and chibis.

If you're interested in realism, try drawing three dimensional shapes at first, with all the shadows/highlights in proper place. Like cubes, but mostly spheres (most organic shape, and most art subjects are organic in design, with many exceptions, of course). I'm not the best visual artist, but this is what my teacher taught me (and what I read in a good book once), and I improved dramatically taking this advice.

 

I like it a lot. It would look good on an outside wall where lots of people could see it maybe by a main road.

 

Love the cacodemon!

 

I still play pretty casually, among many other games, but not as much as I used to.

 

I really like your art! I love that "painted" look that some of your pieces have. I also like that it's not done in a neat & tidy way, makes it feel more "organic", if that makes any sense. I agree with the others that facial expressions are your strong suit, although you're not bad with the ponies' bodily proportions either.

My favorite piece of yours is Rainbow Dash telling Pinkie Pie she loves her. Everything in that piece combines all of your strongest skills as an artist, in my humble opinion.

I'm wondering though... Who is that green pony who says he is gay? Is he an OC of yours? I'm curious about him.
