Cooly584's Art

[cooly584]

Hello there
I've been drawing for 4 years now and I didn't really improve that much. At least in my opinion. So I just wanted to know, what you think about my art, my style and what I should improve and so on.
I'm from Germany, that's why my English isn't that good.
This is my latest picture:

Back light shading is always hard to do.
It looks like you've used the burn tool to apply shading, it's a bit messy.
I recommend shading with a darker colour instead of the burn tool.

What big-jonny-13 said about the shading.

Also, I think you got some nice stuff here going already. The lines are good, I really like the background and the hair looks great. I am sure with some tweaking and some improvements with the shading, it would be even better.

@ big-jonny-13 No, I didn't use the burn tool. I used another layer, set it to multiply and used brown to make the shades. I only use the burn tool to shade the hair.

@Luwano Thank you! :D I try to improve myself. I still can't draw arms that good and I'm not that good at shading clothes. But I'm trying my best.

Und Danke nochmal. Ist ganz nett hier. :D

I'm not so sure about the colouring on the girl, but I enjoy the hair and the skyline a lot! I like drawing skylines, and this is a good one. It almost seems a bit disconnected from the giant sun/clouds though, maybe you could make them more cohesive?

I spend a lot of time coloring the hair. It takes me up to 2 hours or something. But the skyline didn't take me too long. About 30-40 minutes. Not much.
The sun looks strange I know... But I didn't know how I could make it look better so I decided I'll do it that way. Maybe the sun should have been a little bit smaller and between the clouds...
