Hi ! I would like to create a visual novel, i'm currently writing the script and i'm trying to find the good balance in my drawings between to detailed and not enough detailed in order to draw more than 1artwork per month ! x)

Here are some samples , i would like to hear some reviews about them !

Hey ho :)
The quality of the image is good enought.
It's also okay if the level of detail is different. If you put more work into the important scenes and moments, they can stand out even more and become memorable.

I think for you it's important to speed up your workflow and plan what you're doing, when and how.

Once you start drawing the charcters, don't change styles, brushes, colors or techniques in the middle or between charcaters/ backgrounds. Decide on a style beforehand.
It is super annoying to have to rework old drawings.
(Will probably still happen, because youll grow as an artist and find the fitting stile along the way, so dont worry :D)

Prepare everything appropriately. Create a color palette.png for each character. prepare the appropriate brushes beforehand. remember the brush strengths you use.

Think about which poses and facial expressions you need for your characters
It's helpful to write the story first, but not as fun as just going for it

It can be annoying to draw the same character over and over again, but it will be faster on the long run.

Don't spend too much time on placeholders. stick figures are usually enough.

Probably not the feedback you hoped for, sry.
If you stick with makeing a game, your art will get better very quickly. you'll see :)

Thanks for your answers guys ! (a bit late srry)
Your advices are pretty useful Mr TurTur i'll keep them in mind ! :D
With this type of artstyle i can finish easily 2drawings per week minimum (1per day in my best day), so i think i'll keep with them like that !

I think about making a thread showing the progress of my work but not sure if it's really of use. :)
