im a young artist, what do i need to improve on? *pics*?

this is some of my art… what are some things i could do to make my art better?

First of all, everyone has their own taste, and if you are happy with your work, there will be others who like it as well.

Secondly, things to improve on….
For your photography, I’d recommend playing around with different lenses, angles, and lighting. What I see, though good, is very flat and has little contrast. You need darkest darks and lightest lights to make the image more stimulating. :)

For your drawings, I’d say use real medium and a real surface (such as vellum paper or bristol board) to make the images cleaner…. UNLESS the postal boxes are part of the statement. Your linework is nice, I’d like to see images with a bit more to them.

The Burned Installation piece… that’s pretty cool, neat concept, pretty good execution. Sometimes less is more, sometimes more is more. I personally feel it may be a little cluttered and would remove 1 or 3 pieces of it.

And for ALL styles…. remember this, the Rule of Thirds. Put the subject that requires the most focus from your audience in 1/3 of your surface… on the left, right, or middle. It adds some added interest to the artwork and makes the audience’s eyes travel throughout the piece.
Also, ODD numbers of subjects are most aesthetically pleasing. So think of collections of things in odd numbers. Your burned artwork has 12 sections – I’d remove one to make it 11. :)

Keep it up, and good luck!
