I seriously cannot believe some of the earlier comments you received from people.....🤨
Some of them are totally out of order, criticism or advice is fine, but then there’s pure rudeness.

You have made the effort to post your work and share it, and yet get very negative feedback, in my opinion.

Keep up your good work, and keep drawing.
 
Thanks for that. I actually do not mind the criticism because it makes me want to keep going and prove them wrong. Some of my pieces may not come out or whatever but some do I think. Anyway, I have dealt being out down and criticized most of my life.
 
Ok I have added a previous asset I created or another character to it and revised it some more. Please note I created these for the iPad screen so if you open them up from iPad they will be full screen and not strech ugly. I have pdf versions that look good on desktop but dont stretch to the edges unless I decide to resize it.

May I offer some constructive criticism? This is only my opinion, and I don't mean to bash you, so feel free to take it or ignore it & I'll mind my own business. Please remember this is only my personal opinion.

It looks not quite a beginner's drawing, but more beginner than professional. There are some areas you can work on to make it look more realistic, but shows serious potential. My advice:
-Work on details. Seems very simple
-Work on lines & shading. It's definitely a start, but lacks realism.

In the second one with filters, I like how the surface the warrior & horse are on looks for realistically rocky. I also like abstract nature the first one with filters, but it is difficult to know that it's a person on a horse.

It kind of reminds of some realism paintings I've seen. Google "realism" to see what I mean.

Like I said, only my opinion. My style might be very different for yours.
Yes, I can tell: all the proportions of the horse and its rider are quite wrong and warped. As is the perspective in your image. Saying you drew it from memory is not really something to be proud of: the best artists in history learned by observation of nature, animal and human anatomy, and plain real life.

This would be an excellent piece to revisit and redo it from the ground up as practice, using actual references of horses, humans, armour, landscapes, and learn about proper perspective drawing.

The basic idea/concept is good. Just your lack of technical skill which is holding you back at this point. Part of your artistic mind is still slave to the 'symbolic' mind, relying on symbolic visual representations.

Keep learning and improving, and have fun! :)


Do either of you have any clue on how pretentious and stuck up you sound? God forbid someone post a drawing on here and you not simply offer praise for his effort and leave the criticisms alone. I feel sorry for people like you.


OP, fantastic job, I'm extremely impressed. I'll be watching for more and I wish I had the talent you have when it comes to drawing. Don't listen to some of the fools in this thread. Some people live to be critical of others due to their own lack of talent.

Latest version of the Lone Warrior unfortunately it is destructive work so I only decided to redo the main rider notnthe entire scene already sharpened or filtered.
