Thought I would make a Diana SG sketch, thoughts? And colour? [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Is good, but I must be a little critical It seems rougher than your other sketches. Still good and stil way better than what I could do, but rougher still. And shouldn't the middle part of her dress be a more constant angle? Not half-way, then angle off.

Still extremely well done.

And I vote purple. Just seems like Diana's color. And Poppy was blue and Syndra Purple (obviously) and Diana seems somewhere in between those two.

And may I ask how long these take? Assuming whatever else is going on in your life takes a decent amount of time, this whole process must be quite tiresome.

thanks for you for your criticism, I might revisit proportions folds ect when I plan on colouring it, and sketches legit take 10 mins to make xd colouring on the other hand takes hours. I don't actually colour on top of this sketch, when I'm happy with it I copy it to thicker paper using a lightboard, then i ink and colour it. This wasn't meant to be a pretty drawing, more like just an idea for her outfit ^^

Well, for 10 minutes, that's pretty amazing And the idea seems fine

Think I'm gonna put SG Diana on hold for a while anyway, I'm not personally happy with it, and I'm gonna work on colouring SG ashe right now :^)

It's your work, so long as your happy with it

And it's good, though that's more for getting people to pay attention. And you don't seem to have a problem with that

I'm sorry I'm really tired, what do you mean?

zero356Sep 8, 20171 votes

I mean it's your work; so long as your happy, it's fine. So leave the sketch and go work on something you like more/think has more promise.

But, being good is also kind of important because if you/your art isn't, no one will pay attention. From a happiness perspective, that may not matter. Maybe what you think of your work is all that matters. But most people like it when other people like their work. And it's easier to keep going when you have people complimenting your work. And then there's getting paid for your work (if you've ever done or are thinking about that) which is a whole other converstaion.

But the second point is kind of ... pointless since so far your work's been great.

thanks for the detailed respond, I've had horrible sleeps the past few nights because I've been drawing all night [zombie-brand-facepalm] I would love it to be a job, but I don't really know about that yet. Right now it's just a hobby. Thanks for your kind words too and the feedback, didn't even notice the dress was not folding correctly

So it IS tiring Or it + everything else. Get some sleep if you need it (and nothing is else stopping you, maybe you have extreme amounts of homework like me [slayer-jinx-catface] ).

Your doing really good and compared to other artists on patreon, I'd say your at least as good. I can't say more than that since I'm not an artist and don't really pay attention to how commissions/patreon work. But, from what I see, I think you're good enough if you wanted to look in it. I also don't know how viable it is from a financial stability viewpoint.

Yea, I haven't looked much into how good it is for a job yet, possibly in the future. I don't rly know anything about commissions either xd I just draw. For now I've just made a Deviantart account to have a gallery for my stuff, maybe it will get me somewhere maybe not. I don't have a lot of homework :D its just drawing
