      I am a self-taught artist, painting by hand since 4-5 years. I have done acrylic paintings and watercolor illustrations and am trying to learn to work digitally. I am not sure where my work fits in and what is the road ahead. Really need your honest review on my work and if possible, a few tips and tricks to work professionally. Cheers!

        @Garima hi! Your work has potential. What’s your goal for your portfolio? To get jobs? To sell your work?

          Hey Nyrryl! Thanks for going through my work. I guess primarily I want to broaden my reach, bring polish in my work, and see whether it can fit in a specific field, for example Illustration, Animation (Character design), art direction. Basically something more concrete, through which I can hopefully make a profession out of it. (Freelance/job)

            @gavpartridge Thanks a lot for having a look at my work, and thanks for pointing out this important detail. That's something I have been told by some other artists I've shown my work too. I have been practicing on and off on the anatomy but I guess im just not regular. I went through your website as well. You have some really interesting drawings. Doesn't look like just a hobbyist's work, how have you been practicing?
