Hey, so I’m new to the graphic design community. This is my first actual drawing I ever finished. I did use a heavily referenced picture only because I’m still new to drawing. What do you guys think. I am open to honest answers.
This is the reference
this is my drawing
That is amazing!!! I’ve tried to do that exact same pic before and I failed miserably! 
Haha thanks. Trust me Ik the struggle. I see a picture I like and I’m like ohhh I can replicate it. I try it turns out terrible lol.
This is amazing! If you had a shop (for free cause i’m broke) i would buy from it : )
haha. If you need something let me know. I know the feeling. since i’m new I honestly will do anything just for the experience.
Of course! I would totally get ask, how would i credit you? I just need a cover, and i have been looking EVERYWHERE ( i haven’t found one that i like (not trying to upset anyone) ) for one and then i stumbled across you amazing talent 
Awe thanks. And my instagram is @Jpassen_episode. What kind of cover did you want. I can try to come up with something for you
I’ll pm you 
Are you sure you reference, and not just colored the already existing outline, reference means drawing on an empty sheet
the reason why I think you just colored it, is because the lines match to perfectly, this are perfect lines match,
I did a little bit of both to be honest. I’m still new to the whole drawing thing. I tried to add my own things to it like take off the tattoos and fix the dress up a bit. But yes, I did both color over. I’m mostly practicing with shading and figuring out how to place things if that makes sense. one reason why is said heavily referenced and added the picture above to show it wasn’t my original work since i know thats kinda illegal lol
okay, your forgivin just for the future be honest call it a coloring of an outline not a refrence. because those are very diffrent things, and it takes two seconds for people to figure out your lying, experts like me can call you out so fast, so dont ever lie about art you make,
secondly, you coverd the tag, dont ever do that, you do never cover a tag, it changes your art piece from, coloring an art work, to stealing.
Thanks for the feed back. I appreciate it. Only covered it since I put up the original. Called it reference only because I couldn’t remember the actual word. lol
if you have any tips and tricks for me that would be awesome. I’m honestly bad at line drawing. I’m ok at coloring but bad at line work. haha
also a extra thing, I asume you got it on pinterest, please dont get art there from. and espically dont offer to make art for people, if you are tracing other peoples art, that is stealing, its alright to do if what you use isnt copyrighted like stuff you can find on pixabay, and you ofcourse tell who make it to its traced
I made a very nice forum explaing why not to use pinterest please read

Thanks. I actually got it on deviant. I don’t like pinterest because of that reason.
outlines suck, best thing you can do is practice, but no matter how good you get, drawing is always hard, if you keep drawing you get good, I recomand to have a notes book, and maybe sketch a little thing evryday, that is what I do,
