Hi. This is a new blog where I'm compiling/reblogging the most helpful resources, tips, and tutorials for learning art that I find on tumblr so I can sort and find them easier.

How would you improve this illustration?

After cancelling my Adobe subscription I turned to Affinity Designer. I've been using photoshop and illustrator since 20 years 👵🏻 so it's not easy to loose my habits and learn some new ones. I did this little guy in just one evening to try my hand at drawing on Affinity. And I mean, literally my hand because I lost my tabled adapter so I did this on touchpad only 😅 It's quite simple but I'm curious about your feedback on it.

What do you like?

What should I improve?

I'll apply your feedback and see what it looks like!
