I was thinking of making a game for a while now but never got time, but now that I m unemployed (fuck covid) I was thinking of making a game but don't know whether is my art good enough for a game or not.
here are some drawings I made this evening, can you guys please tell me whether this looks good or not?

i personally wouldn't love this art, but i do think you have potential. keep working on your art, improving your skills, and i'd say that you could one day definitely do art for a game.
OMG, Thank you so much for the reply. I will definitely work hard, so excited, Btw love your game.

It's acceptable. The first picture is a bit messy with the coloring, but the 2nd picture seems better. Maybe the added outlines make it look cleaner.

to put it straight, it's not good enough. yet. but just draw every day and you'll definitely get there. it's just another motor skill that comes from doing it a LOT. mileage is everything, talent is nothing.

and trust the fundamentals. we all wanna skip them, we all DO skip them, and get stuck polishing a turd for 10-20 years wondering why our drawings don't have that solid pro look. then we finally go back and do the time, and it DOES solve our problem. avoid the mistake we all fall for, learn and grind your way through the fundamentals. do fun stuff as well, but don't stop doing the fundamentals.

learn a construction method, doesn't matter which, but stick to the one you pick and use it every single time from now onwards. what it does for you is the same exact thing as what you did with copy pasting here. it gives you that solid underlying shape that doesn't change every time you draw the same thing again. it's absolutely 100% necessary for character work.

and most of all, draw every single day. doesn't have to be grand, doesn't have to be deep, doesn't have to make ANY sense. but you must keep doing it. keep getting that mileage in. picasso drew bird feet. nothing but bird feet every day. and at 18yo he was masterful, nothing like the shit he's famous for.

it doesn't matter what you draw, only the mileage matters. repetition repetition repetition. that is the key, not talent.

here's an inspirational interview of one of the biggest heroes of drawing, iain mccaig, to get you fired up. he talks a lot about what he did in the beginning (drew tons and tons of dinosaurs), and also with his experiences teaching adult students drawing. I've posted this before in similar threads, but I think it's really something a beginning artist should expose themself to. drawing every day isn't easy to keep up doing, it's HARD. drawing is easy, the daily part is HARD. and the thing that sinks you is the lack of motivational stuff like this.

Are you an artist yourself, if yes could you please share some tips for colouring, I can sketch decent characters but always get stuck while shading and colourin

You can certainly improve but with this art right here I think you can already do something nice, maybe try a short game to give people a feel of your art? People like to be picky because they don't understand the effort the artist makes but honestly, I'm just glad that there is more hand-drawn, human made, 2D art. 3D is nice but I really love the creativity of the artists when they don't have to work with pre-defined assets. I don't want to stall your improvement because you think this is "good enough" but man, search for 2D art games here, a lot of them are average or even below average in art, I'm sure you can do fine.

Thank you so much for the reply, but I think i should polish my drawing and colouring or I will be unable to present my imagination correctly, for example that tree is looking like a big break.

Yes of course, I'm just happy that more people are trying to do actual art. I draw too but I'm more of a traditional artist so I really can't give you digital art pointers. I'm not a master either.

So far i can totally use your human face drawing for studying purposes :Kappa:, but do you have any body example? many people struggle to draw bodys, but this is very important for a porn game (if you are going for it of course)

If those are the raw drawing then theyre pretty good, editing them and refining them will make em pop further for sure

Look great for a raw unedited start ! Also try other types, like instead of a medieval character try a modern one ?

Gonna need some body shots man. Also maybe an example of your art in a h-scene

As to what you've posted, line art is serviceable, the rendering is really rough though
