[Hello their tiny insane vampire lady! (Ezreal pats briar)]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you some critiques if you really want to improve, please don't take it too hard. I can barely even see these light-gray lines over the white paper. A very quick and easy way you can improve right now is to work contrast. It should take nothing more than a quick Levels or Curves adjustment in Photoshop, Photopea or Gimp to make the lines darker (preferably black) so I can actually see what you drew against the white background.

Better yet, find a brush in your software that gives bold, black lines so that even when you're sketching out the image, you can easily see what's going on. Most software has layers, so it's not like you need to draw really faint pencil lines like on actual paper. The way it generally works is that you draw a "Sketch" layer first using any brush you like, then create an "Inking" layer, lower the opacity of the "Sketch" layer, then on the "Inking" layer you basically trace over your own lines from the "Sketch" layer.

I hope you won't hate me for this critique, but the solution to faint drawings like this are very easy once you figure out the workflow, and hopefully by learning to take criticism (even from trolls, they sometimes have a point, but don't express it in a delicate way), it would only be a matter of time before someone decides you're good enough for the Art Portal!

DerangedKnite responds:

Going to be a tad bit fair here, I don't really care about the score this time here, I only drew this for the sake of it, More of a fun doodle than actually something id put my hard effort o.

But, I can understand about the pen, Personally it doesn't frustrate me much, Maybe I'm someone who is able to see the lines of my faint yet quite pen Or....I am just using said faint and quite pen thinking my lines look good because I don't wanna look at my actual lines, Either way, I agree on the pen being a bit too not visible.

I really should think about switching to another pencil, But there aren't much decent sketch pens in clipstudio really.

Again this is only a short drawing of mine, Its not something I would put much effort onto, I really wish I had a place people would actually bother to care about the sketches that I do, I tried to make a thread, But so far..Nobody cared

[Cheeky Brooke at the range]

Okay, but why are her pants down? Is that allowed on the shooting range? I am but a sissy liberal, so I don't know how these shooting ranges work...

MLeth responds:

Brooke's ways are a mystery.. We'll have to observer her more to understand her!

[BOLD BEAGLE]

If the heroes don't immediately shatter his ego by joking he's like Snoopy from Peanuts, I will be disappointed.

RoseTheVixen responds:

Prepare to be disappointed because that idea sucks!
