It's been a year....
2 years ago
Since i have written about my how much i am dissatisfied generally with my artwork. I have made some changes during that time, started painting a little bit more, still going to painting workshops, and especially finding a teacher who really provides me with a professional help. As it goes for artwork itself, well, i personally think that my general feeling is not that bad as last year, not evereything that i made past twelve months i could consider great, even recently i have spent way too much time on an idea that i have tried 3 times and still ended up failing it. Still, i just would like to know, how do you see changes in my artwork during this time, especially:
- what's usually good in my pictures
- what's usually bad and requires immiedate improvement
- what do you think is better for me: drawing with colour pencils or oil painting
- what are other subjects that i should benefit me and try later
I am looking for you replies. And as before, i would like honest answers, even if that means being harsh.

Personally, I prefer your colored pencils works, - but your oil also has its charm.
Heh... I'm useless...
I absolutely LOVE the hand-drawn colored pencil style of artwork you create. It simply looks so good. You are amazing at backgrounds, and make every picture you draw (that has a background) look lived in and/or natural. Very few other artists do that.

I honestly don't have much of a complaint here. Maybe more a comment on your style: bare bottom feet? they tend to stand out very much on anything you draw - and some of your work, despite your otherwise nice shading, occationally looks a bit flat (example: "Welcome Desire" - both the feet and the face) Honestly, not sure what you could do about the feet, but some of your anatomy could probably be better shaded.

Pencils!

You're a railway engie. Draw hot girls and trains.
I like how you use both coloured pencils and oil paints, so I’d say keep up with both!
Like Seth mentioned, I’d like to see more species types and maybe some other physiques as well! As well as maybe some new types of backgrounds? Branching out in this way can be a fun challenge
but what i like is your pencil work and especially when it feature your siblings characters
its just that im a particular fan of those siblings :)
As for which medium you should use. Both pencils and oil look amazing, why not use both? Do what you feel like that particular day.
Rhazzazor mentioned context for the characters you draw. I like that aspect of your work as well. I see it in your recent "Too Cold Outside" and I loved the vixen with the train "Wsiąść do pociągu, bylejakiego..."
Style-wise, I prefer your pencil work over your oils, but I think that as you continue to practice with oils they might win me over.
Your ladies are always beautiful. I think you might improve on proportions. Sometimes the hands and feet appear slightly too small for me. There is probably not an artist in the world who doesn't find hands challenging.
Anyway, i have also noticed to put more of my characters in the context, so i am going to keep an eye to that. And yes, sometimes i tend to draw hands to small, i will fix that.
