      Any and all encouragement is needed at the moment. I feel I’m not even close to pros but I plan to keep trying and improve my portfolio

      Edit: also I’ve been interested in exploring and designing more indigenous inspired art so if you could point me in the right direction id appreciate it.

    Great work! But I still give you a proper “critique” for the sake of it. Your force shortening is on point!! Some good drama in the camera angle you’ve achieved! Only thing I’d maybe say this particular piece could benefit from, completely outside of your execution and ability, is some contrast to make the figure pop a bit. That could be slightly more line weight? Could be some shading to get the silhouette to pop a bit more. Just something to get the figure a bit more clearly defined among the colors. Seriously great work though. Like I said the overall composition and pose of the figure is wonderful!

    EDIT: oh forgot to mention the negative space for the sneakers and phone does a good job of making those items pop. Could maybe try to play with that for more of the figure??

    Wait… “Getting back into…”?!

    I got a bad habit of not reading titles on posts, and when I saw this my first thought was “Fuck that’s cool!”. Updooted and moved on. But on a second pass, imagine my surprise when this was your version of “getting back into”.

    I’m not qualified to give advice, but needed to stop by and give compliments. Great work!

    Considering this is leagues better than what I can draw with my barely recognizable stick figures, my only advice is to just keep drawing to your heart!
