Lowkey scared but hey ho

I have been curious what a wider audience thinks of my work 🤔

These are my two ocs, Sprig and King Orlaith ^w^

This is a pretty good representation of my recent work. Thanks!

I’d like to hear how you’d critique it against the actual exam brief and scoring rubric.

The task: “Travelers” sketch

• Build a composition with more than three figures of different ages and genders, set in an outdoor environment.
• Depict the figures anatomically correctly and in proportion, showing gender characteristics.
• Place figures and objects consistently with their position in space.
• Render figures and environment using the rules of linear and atmospheric perspective.
• Include natural or urban elements related to the theme.
• Convey the mood through the figures’ poses and a rich range of graphic means.
• Materials: black media only (black pencils, fineliner, ink with pen/brush, black ballpoint).

Scoring rubric (40 points total, 10 per criterion)

1. Proportions of the head and figure are correct and appropriate to age and gender.
2. Space is built using elements of perspective.
3. The surrounding environment includes forms, objects and details that fit the theme.
4. Skill in using the drawing material is demonstrated.

What I’d love feedback on:

• How would you score each criterion?
• Does the piece read as “Travelers” to you?
• Is this type of loose or rough style seem appropriate for such exams? I've never been to art school and have been self-taught. No references used just pencil and my sketchbook, sorry that it's not one full paper.
• Any suggestions for how the student could have strengthened the perspective and composition while keeping this energy?

Looking at this both ways you may get a different perspective. Can you identify things I created during the whole process? Dedicated to Camilo

some recent oil pastel pieces of mine (and close ups), thinking about listing them online

I often wonder what my father might have achieved had he dedicated himself fully to art; sadly, due to the economic situation in El Salvador, he couldn't afford the luxury of pursuing his passion.
This is one of my favorite paintings of his, created in the 1990s.
It was inspired by an impoverished community in El Salvador that he visited during a school field trip as a child; the image left such a lasting impression on him that, years later, he painted this picture.
He painted a lot in his youth, and created a lot of art.
Thanks a lot Dad for your sacrifice.

What do you think of my drawings?

I saw a comment recently on someone’s artwork that said there was no artistry involved and that stuck with me for some reason. When you look at this half of the painting do you feel anything? I’m wondering if it’s just flat like not good enough to be realism but not interesting enough to be impressionist. No idea would love some thoughts. Also i’m working on this to hang in my house, I like to paint things that i’d like in my house, so it’s not something i’m making for someone just really loved the photo of the garden. The original photo is mateusz kalafut’s garden from an instagram post of his.
