Description

Direct comparison

I admit, it's another style, so not exactly a comparison of two works in the same style. But I think the lines are better, and the colors.

Your 2d draw was already amazing, i think there was no need to redraw it into something more realistic. It was already as good as it is.
 Alone, the new one painting looks great. But when you compare to the stylish 2d old one, the old one winning. 
Just keep both styles, i mean we don't always up to detail and make all realistic. 
I also, personally, love when the lines are visible as well Even though i practice lineless ones in detailed works.

I hate to say that I agree.. The proportions and the facial features of 2018 are more refined. The 2020 face doesn't have the curves. It looks like you wanted to change your style from comics/cartoon to painting and while you nailed the clear, sharp and bold color changes, you swiched to gradual color changes, which might seem a bit mushy. Smooth mushy shadowing is one of beginner digital artists' pitfalls. The comparison is therefore unfair. You are trying something brand new but don't have a gull grasp of it yet. I encourage you to keep at it. What would we be if we didn't stumble a bit every now and then.

Hi! I did this to get some opinions, so thanks for it.


I'm much into fair critique to help me to get better. But being called a beginner artist and that I don't have a grasp of smooth shading is offensive.

I have much experience with realism.


I try out to make a mixture between cartoonish expressions and halfway realistic painting for my cats, and there are unlimited possibilities to shade such a style. The mushy shadows are what I wanted to try out this time and I want to find out what people like and what looks good. That you don't like it, is good for me to know, but not a reason to call me a beginner.

I'm sorry that you took it it that way. I should have done my research and forgot to add that I did not mean you in particular, but that mushy shading more like tends to be a beginner mistake, because I've done it many times. Still am. Forgive me for coming out as rude. Tried to be constructive, but failed miserably.

Okay, I see, it's alright Don't worry. I know what you mean.

It still helped me as I found out that many people seem to like my sketchy lineart style, so I decided to practise both of my styles.

And I'm going to look if I can make my painterly cats' outlines more detailed. It's a point I didn't see before and I'll take a closer look at next time. And shading is a thing to always be trained, like your whole life long, so always something to work on

i agree XD i like 2018's head and body shape, and the background- but i like 2020's ears and style texture stuffs on the cat..

..

2018 is better i think
