Your strong art points and your weak art points

[StevenDacasin]

Im practicing right now with my drawing and wondering what your guys strong points are and what your weakness are. For me i feel as though my strong point is faces as i feel as though expressions come easy to me. For weak points it would be character proportions, hands , and feet. More specifically making sure the females don't look like dudes! Hands and feet are hard cause thats one thing i keep forgeting about cause my characters so far have been wearing boots.

Strong points - Expressions, panel flow, hands (I guess...most of the time), lanky men, atmosphere.
Weak points - Perspective, keeping proportions right at all times, perspective, shoes, that 'from behind' angle of the face/body, elaborate backgrounds, perspective...

Strong points - Writing maybe
Weak points - everything else related to comics

[StevenDacasin]

HA! I Definitely agree with that

[SpavVy]

Strong points- Inking, toning, Speedlines (only traditionally) expressions.

Weak points- Perspective, dialogue(friend helps me with that sometimes), sound effects even with the computer.

Strong Points: Picking color palettes, dynamic poses, backgrounds

Weak Points: Drawing guys ><", lineart, perspective

[AnnaLandin]

Strong points - faces, colours, general anatomy, atmosphere.

Weak points - faces*, architecture, inking (specifically environments), hands and feet, especially feet with shoes on them.

And yes, I know I wrote "faces" in both categories; that's because I do think I manage to draw pretty expressive, varied faces (I don't suffer from the same-face syndrome) but at the same time, I suffer from partial face-blindness. That is, I can remember individual features - how someone's nose looks like, or their eyebrows - but I can't remember a face as a cohesive unit. Every time I draw a character, I kind of have to start from scratch and "reassemble" their features. I've had to draw the main characters of my comic literally hundreds of times before I now approach any kind of comfort-level in drawing their faces - and even then, my confidence is wobbly and likenesses may vary.

[StevenDacasin]

The only advice i can give for dialogue is to keep is simple. Nobody wants to read an essay. Im sure you know what they call it "show don't tell" (which is what im trying out).

Strengths: i can draw really cute children
Weaknesses: really cute children are all i can draw

[joannekwan]

Strengths: general anatomy and proportions, faces, guys
Weaknesses: building exteriors, colors

strong points - I'd like to think I'm pretty competent with lineless art
weak points - meanwhile, my actual lineart is really sloppy which is why i either opt for lineless art, or just leave the sketchy lines as they are.

sometimes I try to be perfect with my lines but it still comes out really ugly. haha. i really admire people who can ink/do lineart really well.

Strengths - Lineart, guys, expressions, toning (maybe? aaaa)
Weaknesses - Keeping the correct proportions and face types, hands, feet, perspective

[StevenDacasin]

I do traditional art so Inking to me is harder cause using G pens provide a challenge as you only get one chance and if you mess up you need to either use white out or to keep drawing till it comes out good( which usually is hard to do). I wish i could ctrl+z my work.

[Raven_C]

People who do traditional art/inking, I salute you all.

[abbastudios]

I can draw people very well.

Cars are hard.

I've never understood why feet and hands are hard for people. You always have them available for reference to look at to draw.

[ashriott]

Strong points - inking/toning maybe, and backgrounds I think?
Weak points - anatomy/proportion, actions scenes and odd angle poses. Most of all, modern objects. I kid you not. Drawing 21st century life with contemporary buildings and modern vehicles is hard.

[UzukiCheverie]

Strong points - anatomy, coloring, character design, etc.

Weak points - Backgrounds. Mostly because I'm too lazy to want to make them look better /cries I could probably do them if I actually put the work into them though ... As for actual weak points, animals. Not so strong with drawing animals. Presents a real challenge for drawing all the monsters I have in Time Gate (a good chance to improve though!).

[Doubtcent]

Strong - Character design, style, ideas, story and concepts, poses, hands and feet, foreshortening (ish).

Weak - Setting, atmosphere, color, screen-tones, speech bub placement, backgrounds, consistency, flora and fauna, animals, weapons, metal, textures, expressions, hair, text placement, onomatopoeia choice, foreshortening (ish), humor, inking, drama, inking, inking, color, inking, panel placement.

[StevenDacasin]

Ya but for me they've never been the forefront on what i needed to improve until now.

[TristanJensen]

I'd say faces are my strongest area. I don't really do it realistically but they're consistent and in proportion which is a win to me. My weakest would have to be bodies. I've been trying to teach myself anatomy for a while now an I'm slowly improving. Backgrounds kind of fall in the middle between those...

I have no clue where I stand on coloring, I hardly ever do it so I could be good or really really bad for all I know...
