How do you make good art? I don’t hate my art, I think it’s okay/decent. But I really want to make good art, but it never turns out good. Is it my style? The colours? The fact I’m on a tiny phone?
Please Give me some tips other than “practise”
Use literally dark Orange/Red for the outline
it have to be look like black
but it makes the drawing seem smoother
Seems like you've already hot shading and lighting down pretty good, but what you need to learn is realism and using small lines (smallest point + pencil)
Try using refs, you can easily look up a ref of a wolf on google, even specifying the prospective you need it to be in (for ex: wolf profile view will get you a side view of a wolf! ^^)
Also, use multiple sketches. Draw circle and line sketch first, then a more better rendered sketches that properly shows proportions and pose, and even placement of things like eyes. Then work on the lineart! ^^
Also, for lighting, try to make it look smooth, get a color that's slightly lighter than a grey that's about in the middle of the grey scale, then use the paint roller to layer it on.
And for fur textures, use the smallest point with the paint roller and quickly streak it over the fur areas, it will produce tiny streaks! You can do this before or after shading!
You can do this fur texture for a lot more things than fur. You can do it for trees in the background, feathers, even rough metals!
Also, gradients. Small gradients make anything pop with color! For example, do little 4-tone gradients near the edges of things if you can. For ex: orange to red and red to orange
