Description
It looks okay, but man does it have a lot of room for improvement.Don't have a lot to say, I think it looks a bit off because the face is not very accurate. To summarize it I think that it's because of the rough and refine lineart that it looks a bit off.
I will still color my piece for the most part but I will put some extra focus on the lineart.
Tomorrow I will either continue on the coloring course, look up anatomy, or look up more drawing tips on youtube, I will do what I am most motivated to do tomorrow.
Scales (1-10):
difficulty: 9, Not my proudest work. This one will be used as a learning opportunity, And what I have learned from this piece is that I need to put more focus on the lineart. I got a bit hasty this time. Especially around the face. Which is not good since that is one of the most important parts of a drawing.
fun: 6, While I am without a doubt having fun coloring. I can't deny that it is a but demotivating knowing that the piece will not look as I want to. Then again I need to think that it is important to make mistakes, And not every drawing will be perfect. Learning from my mistakes is crucial.
Any "every day" post I make, you are more than welcome to give feedback on!

Haha Mr. Oda is like a god. It seems like you're into drawing action poses (shonen style), so his work is good for learning all these dynamic poses and exaggerated foreshortening. I also think looking at professional work helps you identify your own patterns so that you don't keep repeating the same mistake. Professionals can draw a leg or the side of a face in one line, but underneath it they understand exactly where it sits in 3D space. And that's how no matter how simple their lines look, nothing looks like it's floating.
Probably one reason your linework seems off is because of the form underneath. Here's an example of how form looks under lineart www.deviantart.com/shattered-e…
This is obviously a result of massive amounts of work and study, so before it feels overwhelming, just know that most people are never going to reach that kind of professional level. Think about what kind of project you're trying to complete, and learn skills specific towards that goal. If you want to complete a colored piece of Luffy in an action pose, I'd say do something like, one study of anatomy, then one study of One Piece.
For example, you said you don't like how the hand came out? Do a hand anatomy study, then try a character again, and this time you'll have a better understanding of the thing that bothered you. That way you can keep moving, keep improving different aspects, and bang out many different drawings.
Here's a hand study and foot study lol

Very true I do like my action poses very much, also cudos for the feedback! It definitely sounds like you know your thing.
Breaking down the drawings to smaller parts feels like a much more consistent way to learn drawing better, I might as well start doing that right away!
The anatomy for the hands and feet are a really good start to get me going, thank you!
