Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

ive been noticing the EXACT SAME PROBLEM whenever i would export an image from procreate and it drove me CRAZY that my art would desaturate all the time. anyway, if you're in a canvas, go to settings > canvas > canvas information > color profile

once youre in color profile, if your current color profile is display P3, CHANGE IT!!!!!! it is desaturating your colors. you're gonna want to change it to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1 instead

if you're starting a new canvas, you can just go to color profile and change it that way. im SO grateful for this post for giving me the push i needed to experiment with procreate files and finally see what was changing my art to be so desaturated

like LOOK at this!!!!

had to change a pose because it was too difficult to draw? it “didn’t work” compositionally!

feel like something is off about the background? it doesn’t suck, it’s just not working for the piece!

i dont see a lot of people talking about how to healthily self-critique, which is a really important thing for artists to learn (considering we’re all so incredibly critical of our own work)

ask yourself first what IS working. what elements do you want to keep? do you need to keep working on this piece that’s frustrating you, or can you incorporate that part you really like into a different setting?

then move on to what ISN’T working. find references for things you’re not sure how to draw! learn how to let go of the things that just won’t work no matter how many times you try them. sometimes an idea for a drawing is really cool, but the execution won’t match what you’re imagining. (not even sometimes, but a LOT of times.)

check all of the principles of design in your piece– this infographic is really helpful. go down the list and ask yourself which principles are present in your piece, and if closer attention to any of them could make your piece start working.
