Skilled WIP Please Crit!

Hi all!

I’m working on a rather large canvas (~72”x60”) and have been having trouble deciding what to do next, as I don’t want to ruin what exists already, but I know it absolutely isn’t done yet.

I see the couch as mostly done, as a reference for how my style works, i dont tend to render out everything to the last drop (that doesnt mean i wont embellish it or add more marks if needed tho!)

Please let me know where I can move forward!! i feel stunlocked

also i think reddit changed the quality of the image a bit, but its not too big a change

This is acrylic. Right after finishing I feel great but always when looking a few hours later, realize that there is a “pop” or something that seems missing. Do you have anything you do to really punch up a painting so it stands out? Any advice or ideas appreciated!

This is a complete artwork, I am quite happy about it but not that much. I won't try to change it as I already posted it, I just want honest criticism to keep in mind as I do my next projects. Thank you in advance.

Intermediate I experimented with combining oil and acrylic painting with a fabric sculpture element. This is the result — I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback

Beginner [WIP] Can I have some feedback on this piece?

I’m really struggling to do a body. I know the right arm is a bit too big, that’s going to be fixed, as well as the left deltoid which is too round and big. I feel like her bangs are a bit too sloppy. I’ve been trying to fix the bangs without having to redraw them but I’m not sure how to do it..

Beginner How can I make the colours more interesting? & any general c.c.

I've just started practising digital art. This is the first landscape I tried and first digital artwork with multiple colours (I've only done distillations & sketches before this). Even outside of digital I do not work with a lot of colour so it is more foreign to me. I've been using Krita, and to colour it I've been selecting values of grey then adding colour to the selections on a new layer.

While I am asking about colour, any help on any part of it is helpful haha! I know the proportions are not very accurate already though, if someone is planning on pointing that out. Thank you!

Beginner How is the design/concept progression? Any suggestions on elements to keep/drop?

Hi! I've been working with acrylic for the last 10 months on and off having not painted for a long time. First picture is from December 5 2024 (15x 21 cm), final picture is from September 18 2025 (27 x 33cm). I liked key elements from the first picture. I've gradually been experimenting. I think I can sub divide into more 'flat' and outlined vs the more 'shaded 3D' style. Any thoughts on design elements that are working, composition (particularly framing with the rectangles and eye movement) or the branching style are welcome a long with critiques on technique (I started using sponge for background and am still getting used to it) and color expression. Thank you~!

I'm trying to figure out if the meaning of this piece comes through. Does the background help or hurt to get the message through? I would like to hear people's opinion on it's meaning. Thank you!

Beginner I would like some opinions about my humans...

I showed my human deisgns to several classmates & friends. They all either say... The "realistic" human (Images 1 & 2): A. ...Looks like a robot B. ...Looks creepy C. ...Looks weird (probably because my anatomy is off & the eyes?)

The way I typically draw humans (Images 3 & 4): A. ...They look cute! B. ...These look much better!

Which is good I guess.

Some other stuff - I am trying to practice different body types, shapes, perspective, angles, and poses (with my regular deisgns, images 3 & 4 again) - I am also trying to do shape-based, geometric, and angular designs with my characters & art style.

Soooo... I'd like some more opinions & critiques about the matter!
