Description
It has been a while since I drew something from RWBY. ""At Beacon" was the name of it, and I was super proud of it because of the background I did, and I really should... as it was the best part of that illustration. However, Ruby and Yang in the foreground were far too simplistic compared to Beacon, which is a problem that I only realized after receiving some feedback from people I know well.Besides, whenever I go back to that drawing, I kinda dislike that character style. I've never used it anymore. It was a very important step for me to get where I am now, but that doesn't mean that was good.
Yesterday at night I decided to draw Ruby. I was working on my style, trying to make it look more interesting not only for me but for the ones that see it, and I was like "man, I feel like drawing Ruby". This is what I got in the end.
I was finally able to draw the head on side view and make it look good, and that is a huge improvement for me. I am pretty happy with the style I got right now, drawing characters this way feels good and I feel like I can be more spontaneous about it... I don't know, I liked it this way: simple yet good looking and fun to draw.
The painting style, however, I tried to get something more similar to TysonTan... and I failed miserably XD. Instead of that, I got something more... me. Maybe I should stick to it. It has identity, appearently.
So, what are your thoughts on this?

I took a brief glance over 2-3 of your art pieces and I don't know if I like it.
you're probably more skilled than I but I can't help but feel some unique sort of uncanny, your proportions are heavily stylized but your shading is really soft, volumetric, and honestly really well done.
but it just makes it all the more...weird... when you see these puppet-like beings painted so realistically.
when I first saw 'at beacon' I thought
"I've never seen something like this before"
on the other hand, when I saw this stylized shading I thought
"hey, this is pleasant"
I guess this is closer to tried-and-true, also we're looking at the character in profile which I think makes it harder to fully grasp the style. the hair might be a bit too glossy, it looks like plastic or vinyl.

Wow, after such a long time I receive an actual feedback!! Thank you so much Hahahaha.
And I have to agree with you: some of my drawings are uncanny indeed. I seek a lot a stylized and cartoony drawing style, but on the other hand I was seeking an ultra realistic painting style that can be uncanny indeed.
The good thing though is that I try a lot of things out. I try different drawing styles, different painting styles, sometimes I do some super detailed and volumetric paintings, other times I do just flat colors, and sometimes I use just some specific flat colors (like I did in "Team Dark")... I try a lot in order to fail and and learn with my failures on order to succeed, and I should try even more.
However, this sort of feedback you gave me is a key thing that I have been missing. This is going to help me in my artistic way.
About this drawing specifically: I still think the painting style could be a little more stylized. Maybe having all hard shadows, instead of some smooth ones like in this one. But this is an experiment for another time.
Another painting style I quite enjoyed was the one I used in the sketches of my character Freneza, where I seeked something simpler that I could do many times over and over again.
Once again, thank you for your feedback
