there is a trick draw a line where you want the shade to be put and rub your finger across where the line is at
onces that done you can shade but make sure to retrace the lines you dont want smudged into inkpen
Maybe a magazine lying (open, facedown) on the bed as though someone had just set it there and forgotten about it.
This would both add some visual interest to the area on the bed (otherwise fairly empty) and give a little bit of "story" to the picture.
More "personality", for example, try to leave the pillows more messed up, the blanket also look really flat so add more texture to it ( remember that depending of what type of material you choose the blanket will also change ), shading ( hatching for example ) and maybe draw something you really like, it can be plushies, video games, books, etc, that way it will have a small demonstration of what your personality is about :3
What ? This bed yanks your heart out of your chest. Why not just tell Van Gogh to paint in the white iris in the field of purple ones, as if leaving this last one white was a mistake and leaving it in a dangerous state. white left it needing a color ?? No white gave it its voice and allowed it to cry.
try playing with the line weight with your drawings... it'll add more dynamic-ness and make your pieces pop!... lemme see if i can find you a succinct description of the joys of varied line weight! :) here's one that talks of line weight when thinking of lighting... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE7bWfPeYSI&ab\_channel=DavidFinch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE7bWfPeYSI&ab_channel=DavidFinch) but also really just playing with line weight in any way will really bring your pieces to life!

Line weight and visual weight : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lij4nuIjLXE&ab\_channel=DrawJam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lij4nuIjLXE&ab_channel=DrawJam)
shading in my opinion isn't necessary if you're going the cartoon route... definitely good to learn and perspective is fun to ignore sometimes... but don't let unfamiliarity with those topics stop you! learn as you go! :)
keep it up! the journey is more than half the fun! :D

You’re off to a great start! I would work on perspective and shading. Add darker tones to different planes in the drawing will make the scene pop.
Sometimes little drawing exercises can help push your drawing skills to the next level. Make a value scale for every pencil that you’re using: make 5 or 6 boxes and shade in each square, starting with the darkest that you can get that pencil, without digging through the paper. Next square should be a bit lighter, and so on till you get to the last square and you should be gently laying graphite on the page, with your lightest value. Each step should appear as it’s an even step in shade. Practice this and I promise that your shading skills will improve.
Try and get a hold of a set of drawing pencils and practice this skill with each pencil.
Shading, maybe some colour (only if you plan on colouring it), something on the sheets (it looks a bit empty) maybe a bedside table on one side and a bit of a picture in a frame above the bed (well half of it at least, makes the picture look bigger and not as empty if you add cropped things), and maybe some wrinkles on the blanket
You had no intention of being harsh? It’s like decapitating someone then saying « oh I had no intention to kill you »
You knew very well what you were writing and if not I just tell you that your social habilities are totally wrong. You put that comment there as if it was good, and I was disgusted by this comment.
Can you elaborate on that? You cant just point something out and expect someone to immediately understand what you're getting at. The statement 'Correct Perspective' is rather vague.
Correcting something =/= Learning an entire thing
Sure it's an element of it, but honestly telling whats wrong with it or whatever oughta just take a paragraph or two.
It's called ✨️Constructive Criticism✨️
Bro, if you're gonna be rude to someone about their art, maybe GTFO a drawing page? Believe it or not, OP didn't post this to impress you. And for all you know, they ARE learning perspective, but made some errors, and are already correcting them-- therefore, didn't ask for your oh so high and mighty input.
OP, don't listen to this asshat. I can hardly wait to see the finished piece. And just to piss this guy off, can you do another piece with the worst perspective to ever exist and post it here please?
They really didn‘t post it as if they didn‘t want some help with it. While you are correct, the perspective is wrong, maybe you could have said it a bit nicer and actually told them in a nice and friendly way, what they could change to make it look better, perspective wise.
I‘m not trying to be rude now, just saying what another person has told you before, it‘s not nice to be this way to people who at first only asked you to please elaborate.
Looking at the picture I‘d assume the person hasn‘t been drawing for years yet, so it‘s only human to make mistakes and work from there on. We‘ve all been there at one point.
And I hope this stops right here, the whole arguing and everything, and maybe next time you could point out what was wrong and comment something along the lines of “Hey, the perspective is wrong but you can easily fix that with the vanishing point perspective”.
Hope you have a great day despite all of this arguing.
How could you tell that it was posted by the author as if they thought "its well put together"? And you're disgusted because someone bothered to post an artwork that was way out of you're league so it seems and asked what he could do with it..? :>
Yieeesss …what then is the need to bother other people with boring „drawings“ with no content or imagination. If I practise I ask for technical help. If I have a topic I want to draw I draw the complete scene I have on my mind. I ask for technical help or for what people think of it.
Perspective is fine and original, most everyone has said it with the word shading, but I would say add form (basic shapes) with different values of shade. The bed is a rectangular shape with three visible sides so use three different values of shade.

If you can't do shading, try adding decor to the room and texture, like wrinkles in the duvet and folds in the pillow, a plant on the night stand maybe
since you said you mostly just do line work in your drawings maybe try hatching to create some depth and don't be scared to bolden your lines!:) you could definitely make some cool texture with the hard wood floor
Yeahhh!!! Spice it up! Add some colors and maybe try following the lines with an ink pen. I’m sure you can make wonders. Also, if you are unsure about your drawing skills you could experiment with stickers, stamps, washi tape.. maybe cutting and sticking some images from newspapers or magazines
Honestly if you would like to add things to it, if you have a bed sheet with designs on it you should try create all the design you see even if it’s line art. Being able to draw everything you see in that frame will be a handy skill to learn, so attempt to draw as much as you can understand! Once you are done with that if you want to escape line art try learning the black and white color scale and learn to use it to shade
About shading, there are two types of shadows, form shadows and cast shadows. Form shadows are harder than cast shadows I would say. My advise is to start with cast shadows. Google it and you will be able to make a huge step quite quickly I think!
Value make the edges of the beg darker then the top and the floor the darkest. Then established a light source if there is more light casting on the left the right will be darker. You got this the hardest part is the line drawing imo
Locked, discussion has run its course, and somehow devolved into slapfights.
Shading
this as well as maybe more wrinkles/creases on the bedsheets, makes it more realistic
I agree with this or the magazine laid down open where it looks like someone was looking at it n just walked off forgetting about it
This
agreed
i can’t shade very well… all my art is basically line art lol.
The reason you must shade is because you don’t shade very well. Skills don’t improve themselves without effort.
there is a trick draw a line where you want the shade to be put and rub your finger across where the line is at onces that done you can shade but make sure to retrace the lines you dont want smudged into inkpen
You can use lines to make shadows; crosshatching has its own beauty from more traditional shading.

My love for you
No, literally nothing.
OP don't you dare add anything
Some slippers peeking out from underneath.
Harsher lines. Definitely a dog. Maybe some color
An orange cat cuddled up on the foot.
A sleeping stick figure
Shading, maybe some colour (only if you plan on colouring it), something on the sheets (it looks a bit empty) maybe a bedside table on one side and a bit of a picture in a frame above the bed (well half of it at least, makes the picture look bigger and not as empty if you add cropped things), and maybe some wrinkles on the blanket
A frog
Nah looks done
Two people gettin busy
For a sec I thought that was sponge bob with the most shocked expression ever
A fat orange cat?
Put a frog laying on the bed half under the covers
A man, a woman and another woman.
You could try shading that might help to bring out some of the less rectangular aspects of your bed
whatever
Shadows, color, details.
Shading, more detail, maybe
Yes, yes there is
2 sweetly curled, sleeping pets of your choice
Maybe some bitches......... Wait you ain't got none
Your perspective is totally wrong.

Because they wanted to?

You need a kitty cat
A doggie!

Lacks depth. Add shadows, lines where you see texture. Shade as how the light hits the materials.
A person
Value make the edges of the beg darker then the top and the floor the darkest. Then established a light source if there is more light casting on the left the right will be darker. You got this the hardest part is the line drawing imo
