I need you honest Opinnion about my ART

[TalesofD6]

I started to draw a silly little comic which is kinda like an isekai but I lost the interest for a while after giving a shot to it again I kinda feel like my art get better and I don't feel quite satisfied with first couple of episodes

I don't want you to read the whole thing I just ask you if you could look at both first and the last episodes and give me a honest opinion

If it's that bad I'm gonna redraw the whole thing
(I'll review your's too if you want in return)

Its simplistic art. Definitely fits the comic.

To get a proper art crit, draw something as realistic as you possibly can. Any stylized art can't be criticized fairly in my opinion

I'll review, give me a bit.

In the meantime, I wouldn't mind your opinion on mine as well:

I think it's quite a unique style. I subscribed it. no need to redraw it

To be honest, I actually prefer the color scheme from the earlier episodes. It uses fewer and simpler colors, which makes the visuals more stable.

If you wanted me to be completely honest! I do think the first few episodes are fine! Like art wise I don't see a problem, unless there's a certain tone or something you want to sell, but it really looks like the tone and art matches!

I think if anything, comparing to the first and recent episodes, I actually like the first artstyle a bit more? I just like how the smooth lines used for the characters instead of the pencilly lines, and I how the background is given this paint like texture which can suit the medieval/d&d setting. I can't explain why I like it, it just gives a good itch to my brain. I guess the word I could use is that the art is very charming!

If you were to draw future pages, you could totally lean more into that! Or just go with whatever style you think is fun to draw too.

The art is fine, it fits the tone of the comic. There are a few poses that come off a bit stiff, but it doesn't hinder the comic at all. Linework is consistent and regular, which shows care and craftsmanship. There is a clear change in color palette with the new style, which looks harsher on my screen than the previous comics, and the linework is slightly less refined on the new ones. Personally, I find hyper-simple comic styles to be harder to work with, since minute variations affect the outcome so much. Take your time to make sure you have everything how you want it there. Given that you have several months between uploads recently, there's no reason to rush yourself.

The comic is a lighthearted take on TTRPGs, though I'd expect the dice to be a d20 for a medieval fantasy TTRPG setting. It doesn't seem particularly isekai-ish since he can still talk to the DM and it seems more like he is still a player rather than being reincarnated. The comic could benefit from having an experienced TTRPG player join the party - maybe one who calls out this DM on his lack of planning?

You might also think about planning further ahead. It looks like you're coming up with the comic one page ("chapter" but it amounts to the same) at a time, and as a result you're spending a long time on scene transitions but not really exploring the scenes themselves. You don't have to plan the whole comic out, but doing a dozen or so pages of thumbnails could let you put more jokes and events while minimizing transitions. It might also help you smooth out your upload pace and help you keep up the motivation to work on it.

Overall, it's a fun little comic that has a ton of potential, and that could be successful and popular if you work at it and let it grow.

I'm starting (sorry for the late response btw guys)

CONCLUSION:
I'm planning to keep experimenting with my art for a while until I can confidently say, 'Yes, that's my style.' In the meantime, I'm working on reducing that sketchy line feeling to create clearer readability. As for the colors, I really like the palette I'm currently using—it's fun to draw with, and I’m not planning to go with a heavy DnD theme. Instead, I want to keep things a bit lighter for the story.

Thanks to all of you for your help and advice

[TalesofD6]

Btw I have finished at least a chapter of the story the post frequency is because of my lazines

[TalesofD6]

I think story telling is great and can't say a thing against your art I know I'm still at the very start I'll surely give it a go and try to cath-up I'm gonna share my opinions in each episode for know

Here is my favorite panel

And look at this face! I can't look away

Like a previous comment states the simpler and more stylized a style is the harder it is to critique especially when we don’t know what direction your hopping to take you art in. Your style works for your story, simple and clear, easy to read

If your looking for ways to improve (were all forever students in art) from what i can see you have strong shape language, I'm guessing you like that look so i’d suggest looking into how to make those simple shapes feel more dynamic to better catch the interest of readers.

Try looking at older comic books like mickey mouse, bugs bunny, duck-tales (sunday strips, from animated character because is the style is forced to stay simple)

or even hellboy from mike magnola, his style is very different from yours, heavier on shadows and details, but he has strong shapes and knows how to use them to make a dynamic picture, so theres probably something you can take from.

Edits; spelling mostly.

Stylized art can be critiqued just as much if not more than "realistic-looking" artwork.

Stylization is vastly more difficult to refine and execute than observational and deliberate realism.

You're on your way to refining this cartoony style you have, which choosing this stylization for your type of comic works imo. I suggest delving into form more than shape, as this will help you immensely in the execution of scenes, and can also advance your visual storytelling. For instance, your shading is a bit flat and follows along the outline of a character rather than the character's form. You can utilize form more for better cel shading (referring to it as this, because that is what your style includes--cel shading.) This can help bring in more colors for lighting and shadows and make for some cool mood and ambience effects!

Another thing you can do to enhance your work is to consider more angled shots. You have a lot of dead-on shots. While these are helpful for scene clarity, they can get a bit boring to look at. With such a fun style you are developing, definitely challenge yourself with studying perspective! It can bring a whole new array of storytelling, and even enhance comedic value, emphasize importance or certain emotions, and make things more interesting to read. You'll have a lot more fun drawing your comic when you can tinker around with different angled shots. :}
