[/quote] I can't see anything I could comment on as of now (I'm kind of a beginner lol), though one thing I'd like to ask is if you have an opacity function? It makes layers transparent and you can set their transparency, it's really helpful if you haven't used it yet!

It's just sometimes I like white/other colored backgrounds.

It's called a Featheral. [/quote] I really like this piece of art, it’s so cute! The only thing I could think of changing is the shading. I see some places that are shaded and some that aren’t. If you cold shade everything and add detail (etc. shading on the little marks on their horns) the drawing is gonna be even more realistic and even more pretty than it already is! Overall I love ur art and it’s so much better than mine :) I suck at giving criticism-

Thanks for the advice, I didn't notice I missed some parts of the drawing that I should have shaded. For the detail part, d'you mean like how the scales on some specific parts of the art could be more clarified and stuff?

It's just an example, but I think that's what you mean?

[/quote] Yep, you got it! Take a look at this cat (ignore the lopsidedness plz): [img]https://i.imgur.com/BCjrHsK.jpg[/img] It looks good, but it doesn't look detailed. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xaai3qc.jpg[/img] And then this! The shading follows the fur of the cat and it looks more detailed. However you can't tell where the light comes from/ [img]https://i.imgur.com/sZlLDkF.jpg[/img] I used two separate layers for the shading to create this shading. This way, it can highlight the details of the cat and you can tell where the shadow is :D [size=0]my art is crap so i dont think this is good advice

@Espei

Thanks for the advice! So what you mean, is, that the shading has to be more detailed in order for a piece of art to look better/more realistic.

Thank you for helping me improve :D

No problem! I'm not sure if it's gonna work for you but I hope it helped ^v^
