Hello! You commented on something I posted in the art critique community, and since I don’t really want to flood that space with asks about the same thing, I figured I could ask here, since you have a post saying you like doing critiques?
Since this is just a base drawing, I haven’t done textures and shading yet, but I did adjust some anatomy bits (including the sets of hands you pointed out) and made the foreground characters larger, but I’m not sure if the perspective is much more obvious.
Of course, I’d like to hear about other things you think I should revise. Thank you :)
person in suit at the top's hair is really close to touching the purple light person in the dress, its called a tangent when two objects are touching like that and it messes with differentiating foreground and background. i think it would be important to either make it clear that the characters on the bottom and the characters on the top are separate, or to make them overlap a bit so we know which ones are in front.
i know you havent done shading yet, but when you do, you should consider making the characters in the bottom brighter so we know that they are in front. also, theres a blue gap on the bottom of the image (its a yellow gap in the first image and blue in the second image) that you should probably fill with clothing or something because it's negative space and inadvertently draws the viewer's eye to it.
i think the drawing overall looks a bit dim, especially the characters which are meant to be the focal point. i HIGHLY recommend turning the image to greyscale and seeing how you can make things stand out more that way. its a strategy i use all the time, and even when your image is blurred and in greyscale, you should be able to see many different values and understand whats going on in the piece.
honestly, this is something you dont have to follow, but you could push the perspective even more and make the characters in front even bigger and the characters in the back even smaller. but then some of the characters would be less visible, so thats why this is just a suggestion.
also the background text/constellations should be much brighter/thicker, at a glance i cant see it at all and it just looks like negative space.
this is something i do A LOT in my drawings, but it really helps, and that's to add a gradient to the background making the bottom of the grey background part darker would help push contrast and make the characters stand out even more, I've just done it in my most recent artwork, it works wonders.
very long post, hope i helped. this is a very complicated composition and organisation, so well done, I don't think I could do much better lol
lol just a simple animation test i haven't animated in sooo long
my OCs i made when I was around 9 part 2
some of these look... kinda crazy but also some of them look good but I feel like that's pure accident
art trade number 1 done! so far the only request I've gotten, my OC art trades are still open btw https://www.tumblr.com/lrgoescrazy/778052438698704896/anyone-wanna-do-oc-art-trades-i-got-some-time?source=share

went a little harder than i usually do idk I was just feeling like it, I love colours and sky
wasnt sure how to mash together all those outfit ideas but I hope it looks ok I'm no fashion expert
i lied that it might take some time, "slow" to me is like a day I just draw really fast 😭 also lowkey trying to get in the mood for artfight (I've been saying this for months even though it's not at all close to july I just wanna keep my skills sharp so I can aim for two attacks a day)
been staring at your art actually I'm not normal about it the soft textures are edible
omggg thank you actually im still writing an answer to your other question its gonna be really long 😭
i think i've mentioned this before... but here is the FIRST depiction I've ever made of puma guy. i kid you not this is his original first design (I always intended him to be a human but I feel like a lot of the design elements for him make sense once you see this lol)
it's... its really bad ok theres a reason i draw instead of sew, obv pattern is not mine but I made this in a sewing class so if anyone knows the original pattern let me know, mine def looks warped compared to the original tho
honestly it was literally just for fun I just chose cloth patterns I liked, but who would know it would lead to this..
literally dont look at the stitches its all hand sewn I didn't use a sewing machine so its really uneven and janky
his shirt is literally a square piece of cloth that's kinda folded on the edges I didn't put any effort into it
i literally finished making this plushy and then I just had a vision flash in my head of him looking super cool... literally all my character designs come from just... images that pop into my head spontaneously
imagining his reaction lol
this actually looks fine even though i literally played badminton for 1 and a half hours straight and my arm hurts and is so weak rn
art trades still open!!! i keep saying this but I got a week off soon so I'll def be able to do more

sorry for the wait i had too much fun rendering this lol
me after rendering metal that literally no one will see unless they zoom in
learned some stuff too i love blending but I gotta leave some stuff sharp
as usual, added a bunch of colours and orange-ified him
i genuinely add so much orange i just love warmth i NEED the skin to look well oxygenated man that's all
i genuinely love drawing it's my passion i'd actually love to spend all day drawing
love the blend brush sm i know i've said that a million times but I like the texture and you can literally see my brush strokes that's so cool
how we feeling about my old art 😭
this was 5 years ago crazy to think how much I've improved!!
sometimes (most of the time) i look at my old art and just think... why?? why that neck? why the legs?? why that chin? why that hair?
the classic "i dont wanna draw hands" pose
the eyes are staring at me
the lineart is a bit... rough in places
man i drew WAY too hard wtf i can see all the erased lines why did I press my pencil so hard
dont be discouraged if your art looks like this currently, you will get to where you wanna be, I know I sure did, and a few years is actually quite short to make such a large improvement
i'm not even vegan but the texture is so much better
OCs i made when I was 10 (we're moving up from age 9!)
crazy to see how much things changed in terms of character design in just one year, they became so much more complex
colour wise, i was still an amateur lol, I had to change the colours slightly for some of these characters to make them look more unified cuz I was still just putting every single colour in all my designs
patterns went even crazier this is the SIMPLIFIED version of the designs so imagine what the originals looked like
def was my armour era boy everyone had armour i rarely made "normal" OCs
space era is exciting ngl i love drawing aliens and getting loose with it, I don't have to constrain myself as much I can just do whatever I want
its so funny cuz you can tell that I LOVED colour like the bad guys are literally the ones who are all grey and monotone (those two guys are good now tho)
the 3 ppl in the image that includes the red alien (and the blue alien) are the main OCs of a comic I made in 4th grade the plot is INSANE like actually ridiculous its so crazy it almost becomes satire
