Old guild member but haven't posted in forever, if I've even posted at all, can't remember, anyways, I need some help with these chibis I'm doing, something just doesn't seem right to me, in the line art itself, it's too sketchy or something, dunno..
Photoshop CS, Wacome graphire 1 tablet, um... I have some trouble keeping my hands steady cause of a condition, so getting smooth lines has always given me troube, and I can't grip the pen as well as I would like either.
This isn't the actual file size either, I just made them smaller because it didn't seem important to show the full size.
Any advice is really appreciated, as long it's advice to make things better.
Hope I'm doing this right sweatdrop

I like your art style. The lines are good in terms of depth and cleanliness. The only thing I'd suggest is that you make the curves more round. For example, the brow on the first drawing could be rounder, as well as the bottom of the sunglasses.
On the third drawing, the eyes are pointing outward, but that's something you can easily fix, and it's not present in the other drawings so it's ok. Otherwise, the drawings are of good quality and they're cute. Keep up the good work. biggrin

Thanks
I posted in Picture Post as well and pretty much figured out what was wrong, I really couldn't see it, but as soon as others pointed it out it all made sense.

They're cute, however the third has eyes that are pointing opposite directions and sort of rotated at a strange angle. But good work. 3nodding

Don't rely on just the tablet, there's a TON of drawing media available. If any physical conditions make it hard to hold drawing utensils (or the tablet pen) wrap them with something or find some way to prop yourself up, I know a lot of people who do things like that. Not many people know about how hard art is on your body. You don't want to injure yourself- then we won't have any more new art from you!

Thanks for the advice, but already done and moved on past these, already figured out what was wrong. 3nodding thanks to help from lovely people.
I know there's a ton of drawing media available, I'm not mainly a CG artist, I'm a markers/watercolor/pencil artist most of the time, and pen & ink lately. Was just using CG for these cause it's easier and takes less time.
I do use a... wristband thing... don't know how else to describe it, but it keeps my hand really stiff and ends up making it even harder most of the time. The problem persists no matter what medium is being used, it's just harder on the tablet, since I can't really twist things around, like you can with a canvas or paper.
Anyways, yes, yes, I know I need to take care of my hands (and my eyes, those are doing really badly as well, almost blind) to be able to produce more art
Thank you very muchly for the advice heart , will think on figuring out a way to hold things easier.

in my opinion, i think it's the eyes that do it wrong for you. 3nodding this isn't a flame i assure you. heart the last one has eyes that go on each side of her face...
