This is professional level, honestly. The composition is beautiful, and the charcoal is so clean.

@Maxwell Smith
You play Flight Rising? That's so cool! Is the first one is a Skydancer, the second a Mirror dragon, and the third one is an Imperial?
I thank you sincerely.
and I'm glad you like it.

Maybe can you find the light in me.

Not a drawing or a painting or anything, but i worked really hard on this and I’m super proud of making my own wand that’s half inspired by my own wand, and what i imagine Illowy’s to look like. I made that god forsaken rose out of hot glue, my finger really hurts, but I think its pretty for a first try! Might retry one day!

I was told I was dangerous. When I asked why, they said, "Because you don't need anyone." That's when I smiled.

@Illowy Magnard that’s..... oh my god.

I WANT TO BE THAT SKILLED ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I could just make things. That rose is absolutely beautiful.

:blush: :blush: :blush: it’s really not that good! I am proud of that rose though. It certainly could have come out nearer and a little more... dainty. But it wasn’t that hard. It’s just a wooden dowel, hot glue and some paint.

I’ve never done it before now, but it’s really not hard, you could totally do it!

@Illowy Magnard

that is seriously cool. How did you carve those tiny veins in the wand? Is it actual wood carving? The tiny veins look like they're a part of the rose on top -- which also looks amazing for a first try. The paint really sells this as a dark rose.

For a speck of constructive criticism, the middle could be a little firmer and face upwards as the center of a rose is typically coiled, as seen above ^
but the outer petals look absolutely perfect. I could totally imagine this being Illowy's wand!

~overall GOOD JOB AND DON'T UNDERSELL YOUR EFFORTSS!!! it looks hard

I'm gonna take that as a huge compliment that you think its all made of wood ^-^ I'm not quite that skilled though, I just used a wooden dowel, hot glue and some acrylic paint.

So the lines that look like veined are actually creases in glue and also marks from my fingerprints. I know the rose looks a little rough, the center was the hardest part and I couldn't get it just right fast enough sadly.I should've practiced a bit more in the center of it before jumping in. But the entire rose is made from hot glue and I used my fingers to form them. (thank god I have server hands else i might've just chopped off my fingers).

I think the next time around, I'm gonna opt for a slightly longer wand, or at least a longer handle, so that I can try to round out the rose a bit more at the bottom so perhaps it'll look a little more fluid? I'm not entirely sure yet. But I think my first attempt came out pretty good!

Oh my gosh, I love your art style! What program do you use, and do you use a drawing tablet? Your style would look great for a comic. I'm thinking about drawing my own artwork to for my character but I'm saving for a drawing tablet. I've been thinking about tracing my pencilwork by taking pictures and then changing it into digital art that way.

I use Clip Studio Paint and wacom Tablet!
I actually did Game Design for 3 years so my goal used to be working within art so it makes me super happy to hear that it looks good !!!
That's actually a pretty solid method, I'd also suggest not being afraid to throw in sketches and practice your line-art skills either : ) !!

Was it game design in high school or college? Whichever, they taught you well. I'm self-taught but I haven't drawn much in a while (I would show you pictures but my phone is dead). Would be interested in drawing my character? I'll pay for it!
