Might be due a low quality paper

Little results with poor quality paper and the best results with premium quality paper

Reema, this is a really common frustration and the good news is it’s almost never your technique. The fact that you got a smooth background with your finger already shows you see what’s needed. Once the scraper arrives, you’ll get a much better feel for it.

Here’s the main thing I’d check first: the paper’s tooth. If the paper is too smooth,… Read more

Hi Travis

Welcome to AHR Studio community. Very good start on your drawing. You came to the right place to develop your artistic skills. It is a lot of fun and very rewarding.

Welcome to the community, Travis! 😊 It’s so wonderful to have you here, and what an amazing way to make your return to drawing after 10 years! 🥹❤️ This is such a great comeback! The eye looks amazing, especially the amount of detail you’ve put into the iris, eyelashes, and the textures around the eye. You should definitely keep going you… Read more

Hi Emily. This is a good start. I have found that if I draw the same subject a second time I can see a definite improvement in a very short amount of time.😊

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum neuen Studio 🤩

Justin, great work on your first skill test! You’ve made a really strong start with the eye drawing and the perspective exercise.

With the eye, keep checking the overall shape of the opening before adding darker details. The upper eyelid usually creates the strongest shadow, so building that value gradually can give the eye more depth. Also pay… Read more

Heike, this is such a beautiful pastel drawing of Luna! You’ve captured her expression so wonderfully. Her eyes have such a gentle, bright look, and there’s a lovely softness in her face that makes her personality really come through. She looks happy, calm, and very loved.

The pastel work gives the whole portrait a warm and gentle feeling. I… Read more

@alihaiderrehman lieber Ali, ich danke dir ganz herzlich für deine lieben Worte. Ich freue mich sehr darüber, sie gehen mir sehr zu Herzen und tun unglaublich gut. Danke 🥰🥰🐶

@annejoke Thank you very much 🥰

so cute love it fur looks great well done

Amazing. Wow! I can’t wait to get to this level. I want to draw LeBron James. Lol

Cheryl, this is amazing work, especially for your first intermediate drawing! Spending that long on it has clearly paid off, and it’s lovely that your son chose Harry Potter as the subject. I’m also glad the affordable Daler-Rowney paper worked so well for you. Justin, I think LeBron James will be a great future project, and Frenky, I’m… Read more

this looks so good! nice job

no comment cant see any faults on this so good 👏

Looks great. I think it needs more contrast

Daniel, this is a really thoughtful piece of work, and 70% is much further than you may feel when you’re looking at it closely. The details are already doing a lot of the work. Now try stepping back from the drawing and checking it from a distance. Look for the areas where the reference has its deepest darks and compare those with your drawing.… Read more

Ja cheryl heeft gelijk het mist de donkerte, verder heel goed gedaan!

if i wasnt looking at the reference i would think thats bloody good

reference sort of makes it to light when compared and the left side hair may be a bit fuller saying that i love it👍
