If you're gonna publish a traditional art piece, scan it or make sure the lighting is even across the entire piece before you take a photo of it. Unless, it's a stylistic choice, of course.

EDIT:

In this case, I feel like something is casting a shadow, and therefore the viewer might have trouble seeing all the details in the area where the shadow is cast. :P

It's a stylistic choice, Lovecraft described these god as being "tenebrous"

that is a really neat design, but like what CzySzy said, make sure to scan it or have even lighting before posting it. Also I think if you wanna spice it up a bit, you could do it from another angle, or have it in a more dynamic pose, cuz it does look a bit stiff as is


I'm the best for a reason.

I would date it, whatever it is. Cute. Marriage material right there.

I like the drawing, but this looks like a Bad Dragon product imo. A bit phallic innit

it’s better to have stylistic choices in the art itself rather than through the documentation effects of the art.

If the subject matter is supposed to be dark and shadowy, then use an ink wash, or your pencil to capture that effect and make it look intentional.

As it stands right now, it just looks like you took a photo in poor lighting conditions, rather than intentionally want the piece to be tenebrous.

Sure, you said the shadow cast over the paper was intentional for the aesthetic of the drawing - since it’s supposed to be a dark character. In most cases, you should strive to take photos as clear as possible, even if the subject matter is supposed to be dark. Otherwise it could read as sloppy and unintentional.

If you’re drawing dark subject matter use your pencils and pens to do that, not the lighting in the room you’re taking the photo in.
