Dungeons And Dragons Characters
Hello friends
I've been getting into digital drawing a bit since I started playing DnD and I hope by posting here I could get some useful advice about my very much novice drawing technique.
Not really looking for CnC regarding the drawings themselves as much as I am hoping for someone to point out rookie mistakes or give me tips on how to improve.
Software: Paint Tool Sai
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Cheers

1st character - Wood Elf Monk
2nd character - Goliath Barbarian
3rd character - Dragonborn Fighter

Hey wow, the last one is really cool. It looks unfinished, however. Looks like you seem to have a firm understanding of how light sources should interact with the subject, just not how to appropriately change the color; This video can help more than me trying to articulate it.
Again, it looks unfinished, so I'm not sure whether to tell you about texture on everything except the skin. The shoulder piece takes up such a large portion of the image, and it's close to the head.
As for the other two, the hands really throw me off. Try using your own hand as a model for you to visualize the anatomy better. Most things wrong with the first two can be cleaned up through practice with an intention to improve.

Excellent, thank you very much!
I tried playing around with contrast and luminosity sliders on my shading layers and it did make quite a difference, will definitely go harder on the shading in the future
I should also maybe point out that the lower parts of my characters are less detailed because they won't actually be seen ingame while playing.
When I turn them into a token I zoom in and focus on the face to make it more personal for the other players(the tokens are so small you wouldn't be able to distinguish facial features otherwise).
Still I enjoy doing body shots and it's also good for the party to be able to see what my characters build is, the full image is displayed if you view my character sheet, but not on the ingame board. This is what the token looks like:
Thank you so much guys

Thank you so much guys

I definitely feel like shitty linework is one of my biggest issues, at least personally. I will try to do longer strokes but my hands aren't very steady and I get easily frustrated repeating the same step over and over again.
I shall try to learn how the linework function works
The geometrical forms one is a great tip and was a huge help when I used to draw on paper when I was younger. Good reminder
Cheers
