Improvement club submission - Slave correction

Original art: thewaffleninja.deviantart.com/…

I found a group called , where you can send pictures you want to be corrected and other members can help you improve your work.

So, I decided to try! I'm not that much of an artist myself, but I think everyone can share experience, right? Helping people is great, and I think the desire to help other people is a great quality in an artist.

The artist in this case asked for a help on the painting, but said that I could also give some tips in other parts of the picture. So I decided to cover anatomy first and then go to the colors.

I wrote most of my tips in the picture, but Here are some other things you should search for in other to improve your style:

Always look for reference. Study people's faces and bodies, see how the muscles work with each other and how things like nose, mouth and eyes look in someone. I know you went for a more cartoony style, but even in this situation is important to understand how a body works.
Concerning painting: look for color theory. I always use a tutorial that I found here on deviantArt that helped me a lot on my paintings. It's this one: purplekecleon.deviantart.com/a… - It's a great tutorial and it has pokémon, so it's also fun. But there are books out there who show a lot about color theory, so I suggest you look for them. If you want to improve your painting, this will help!
Study volume and how light works on objects. It will help you give more depht to your drawings and make them more interesting.

P.S.: Jut remembering that I used my own style while making the lil' tutorial, so obviously the drawing came out very different than yours. It doesn't mean you should change how you like to draw: just pay attention to the tips that I gave you, and only follow them if you think it fits on your style.

Keep improving!
