Show me your best work. The drawing you like the most and why

[R.n.P]

I spent a lot of time making this colored page for new years celebration and it seemed to have grabbed the eyes of lots of people cuz I got a huge sub boost. I was so happy

[JoshRaed]

This definitely looks better and more professional than any other art i’ve made.

[LouisWinter]

YES! I too am a Morrigan fan

[Shanny8]

Same. I do a piece almost every year that I pretty much become enamored with- so that pretty much lets me know I'm still growing and my best is yet to come...

BUT currently, it's this:

My cover art for Cracking Eggs I had help with I like it because it shows how much things can improve.

Scenes from my comic Cracking Eggs is really good too.

[abigaillmartin]

I lied this is amazing.

Shit this is a hard one....if I was going by which drawings I liked then I'd be here all day. I don't think I've had a moment where I looked at what I was drawing felt that it wasn't good enough. And if there was a portion which I felt looked off or wasn't good enough, usually the whole would make up for that and that little quirk wouldn't bother me as much. That and I dont think my greatest work is soon to come. So in order to make this work, Im going to focus on a drawing which at no point during the creation I felt unsure about or thought looked off. One which I knew what I was doing throughout the whole thing and was confident all of the way. And thinking back to my previous drawings, I've narrowed it down to 2 (technically 4 but I cant show 2 of them here)

Starting with this promo art/concept art/potential new cover. Im really happy with how this turned out specifically for how Sarah's drawn (character near the top). I've always felt like the way I've drawn her has been inconsistent (I do have a ref sheet of her but its old and leaves too much room for interpretation) and this one was where I truly nailed down her design. Which Im using this one has a heavy reference for the new ref sheet Im currently making for her.

Next up is my entry for the banner contest Tapas held earlier this year. I'm proud of how this turned out from the proportions to the design to the coloring and even the background which I feel like I lucked out on. Painting has never been a strong point and there are times where imagination doesn't translate well to reality but in this case it did! Im thinking I could use this as new banner for my comic with how good it turned out!

Now I was going include 3 (basically my top 5) but the more I thought about it, I think this would be better as a runner up, a drawing of my comic's mc Scamp training with his father Ken. I am happy with how it turned out, dont get me wrong, but it does loose some points for not having anything in terms of a background, which is the case with most of my drawings. Its still good though:

tbh if I had it my way, I could go on but Im trying to restrain myself

I love how you put shadows on the eye. Most don't do this and it makes them look more three dimensional.

[abigaillmartin]

I lied this is the best art I’ve done!

[TheLemmaLlama]

Hmm ... hard to choose between Candidate A and Candidate B:

Candidate A

Idk, I just felt I really nailed the crowd atmosphere It's my banner in a lot of places, but mostly because I can carve a better horizontal shot from it than Candidate B XD

Candidate B

I like the reflections, and the vibes

Though there's also Candidate C (from mid 2019), which wouldn't qualify for 'best work' imo, but still gives the others a run for their money in terms of 'drawing I like the most':

Candidate C

JUST LOOKITIT I was excited to try drawing that woven back hair for a long time Also, it's part of a series of character drawings that kickstarted my learning of 'painterly' styles and colour theory

[candiedcotton]

I won't post my best, because I really have no idea what that is. But I will post a couple 'milestone moment' pieces.

For this one (about three or four years old), the arm was way too short, but I really really liked the design. It's a reimagining of Gyrados, with a baby Magikarp.

And this was after painstaking work on practicing drawing women, because I suck at 'em. friend's DnD character.

And this was my first attempt with copic markers (I also added some prisma pencil).

[AnonymousHouseCat]

@aprilferrero This piece is really cool, detailed, and dynamic! It looks like it took a lot of time!

[AnonymousHouseCat]

It's been a little over a year since I drew this now, and I definitely see some flaws (for example, I don't like the background and I struggled with her hair) but I really pushed myself on this piece and I think it shows the upper limits of my semi-realistic digital art. I also tried a technique for painting realistic skin that I saw in an art magazine, and think I did decently for a first attempt.

[aprilferrero]

Thank you very much! You’re right. It did take a lot of time, but it was so much fun to do! Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to completely reformat it so it works with Tapas/Webtoons layout.

[Jam_J]

That's awesome!! I definitely need to start doing different perspectives in my drawings. I s'pose I just need to go ahead and take a chance like you did lol.

[Jam_J]

So far, I personally like this one the best. It was fun to draw, and I was able to redesign my characters which was really cool after having drawn them the same way for months on end. I just wanna keep improving from here.

[DarkSena]

I don't really wanna discriminate my other works, but I still really enjoy my Winter Serenade. It's one of the first elaborated pieces I have drawn on stream and off streams for many hours. I enjoy the colors a lot to this day and the entire antmoshere and it contains one of the things I enjoy drawing the most - clouds. One of my rare digital pieces and I'm really proud of it.

[LostKelp]

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of favorites. But this Boi has a few of my favorite things, 1 eyebleeding colour, 2 depressed looking couples finding support in each other 3. Tropical vibes - in real life there is a constant 65% chance i am wearing a tropical pattern shirt. There's alot I love about this peice, I don't know if the best show of my technical skills, but the ️vibes​️ are immaculate.

[eteraart]

I like this one. It's illustration for my novel, but for future chapters. I love how lighting turn out and I enjoy how much details it have. This took me something between 8-12h but... I think it was worth it. Idk. It's not perfect, of course it could be better, but for now I think it's good enough. (maybeeee it need a little bit of black inking, buuuuut.... nah, I don't wana broke it)
