Rad work, like the value transitions, think your edges are noticeably weak in comparison. Keep up the good fight

[Patonki]

I have no idea how to improve or work on my edges

Awesome sketchbook! Your values and colors look really good. I got nothing to critique, but I'll be back to check things soon. Cheers!

Try thinking about what you want the viewer to focus on. The focal point should have the hardest edges with increasingly soft edges radiating out from that point. That's one way to approach it.
You could also give things that are in the background a 'not so important' feel by giving them slightly softer edges.
In a more general sense, think about what material you're trying to represent. Fluffy sweaters have softer edges than plate armour. Seems a bit too obvious when written out like that...

Hard, firm, soft, lost!

I was drawn in by Medli, haha! You've made some great progress since then.
I'm not very good at critiques, I guess I halfway agree with the majority's recent consensus.
But I like the little flecks of contrasting colors in some of your pieces;
even if they aren't realistic, they're really eye catching. Perhaps you could use this to help with your edges?

your progress in such a small amount of time is amazing, not to mention the paintings you've been pumping out. really inspirational, please keep up the good work!

[PoringMaster]

ummff I really adore your colours and the way you handle values, they're just so juicy!
I'm not really good at critic but whenever someone says edges I think of Zhaoming Wu works because he gets that
soft atmospheric edge and also have hard defined ones, ahh well hope this helps I love your stuffs!

[StressCavity]

I love your style man, especially that abstract body builder dude. Colors rock too. Keep it up, I see tons of improvement!

[NeonPoweredFirefly]

Hey, lovely sb! you've got some really interesting and weird visual ideas, plus a good sense for colour and organic shapes. I also like how you play around with varying levels of abstraction You've got me hooked, hope to see more soon [=

@jondawo

Oh yeah, I knew about the hard, firm, soft and lost, but I never really think about theories while painting hahah
Thanks for the help!

here's a commission I did recently

I've watched your paintings progress for a few years. You've got a real talent for realizing values and such.
