-A nice touch with the tribal markings on the rabbit, Comlock.  -That's a crazy character, Zhenmuron! I was quite startled when the page revelead two fish-like eyes staring at me!!  Now add breathing and more 'inbetween' frames to the blink!  Here are my sketches for the day:

Generally Uninterested.

a constant pattern of wrongness im seein from you colby are your models look very flat. try to make things stand out more. i see it mainly in your heads, if you look in the loomis books it explains about how to set one up, i think its like the ball and nail section, im on a different comp so i cant check right now.

I really like that bunny, Arthur. Just a little suggestion on the pose: Just spread his stance a little... Bent his arm to make it seem a bit more natural and break up the rhythm. Nice pic overall. Colby, I LOVE that sketch with the jacket bent at the elbow. It shows excellent control. Ak, you have pretty good artistic ability. Your sense of form and shading are both developing well. You have a few core things to work on: -> Your anatomy, especially the shoulder area, needs work. -> Your line rhythm needs to be varied a bit. Vary curves and straights. -> Make you Line of action more interesting. First the shoulders:   Your shoulders tend to look like hinges and don't seem to be connected well. The muscles on the back, neck, chest are very important for establishing the shoulders. The trapezius is more important when the arm is down and the dorsal back muscle is more important when it's up. Down:  Up:  I invite people with better anatomy (Noob, etc) to speak up... You guys can probably offer more input. As for rhythm... Think about it like a musical beat, or a melody. It wouldn't be interesting if it was perfectly symmetrical or just consisted of one note. Vary the lines.  Line of Action:  Ask questions if you want clarification. Hope this helped some. |

-I see some nice shading on those heads, Bussman-- especially on the muscles. Go back and darken up some of the outlines as Colesif said and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.  'Oy! Thanks for the critique, Anghenfil! I'm taking lots of notes and loving every bit of it! My sketches tommorrow will be noticeably better.

That's pretty good Zhenmuron.Is that a pattern in the cloak?If not it looks very uniform.I would make it look a little more random if it's for more of a stylish effect.There's a referance for clothing drapery and all that good stuff here.I forget the spot,maybe someone can post it. But it does look good man,don't get me wrong. |

Its supposed to be the cloak shaped in a wave motion, but your defenetly right about it being to strict, needs to be more random. Il keep that in mind for the next one :D. Havent drawn frequently in a while but now that im on the forum and getting help with stuff im kind of diving back into it. |

yoga, the lips aren't aligned well with the rest of her face... see the little cleft thing in the middle of the upper lip? that should be aligning directly under the bridge of the nose. as is, it's skewed to the left side of her face. push those lips over a tad  i like her nose and her eyeshadow. |

@Yoga: The outlines could be a bit darker. Or else more contrast would be great. Some Speedys (more or less):

Sheesh, Woolf, why didn't you just make a thread? This one is for actual sketches! Yes, I'm just jealous. Nice work, keep it up. BTW, where do you get your brushes from?

I was just trying to get proportions and anatomy right,i suck at hands real bad.Critiques are welcome
 I've found that i try to finish each part at a time unstead of drawing a quick full sketch and then fill in any details.I was trying to do it quickly too,so detail went a little out the window  .

I tried doing a sketch that looks the same as the guidline images Anghenfil did for akpaintslinger. Since if I get that anatomy down I would have a nice base for future drawing of that kind, but I really have no idea of how to draw legs so Anghenfil if you read this do you think you can complete the legs on one of the drawings you made?
The sketch I started on  ps: I think I like the sketches so much because it looks so much like the metal gear Ninja, think the name was Grey Fox. Always was my favourite character. |

thx, guys. The brushes are from a german forum and from cgtalk.com. jubjub: Some really neat anatomy-studies! Zhenmuron: Nice, but be careful with the right arm. You have no ellbow there. The neck is ab bit awkward, too. |

Hey Zhen, Mind your proportions, the torso is about 3 heads high, upperchest-stomach-pelvis. The space between the thorax and pelvis is about a fist lenght, or 1/3 - 1/2 heads - depending if you're drawing on 8 or 7 heads. The torso is an extremely important bodypart, everything connects to it, it's the biggest entity and we use the rest of our body to keep it in balance, etc... so you better know it's structure. The anatomy is important, but the general shape is just as much. Use basic shapes to construct it from different angles first, then move to the anatomy. I'm telling you this cause I haven't drawn in a while, and yesterday I just kept screwing up my torso proportions, contours etc and everything looked like crap. Makes you realize how important it really is.

Its looking good but work on the tail just a little more. The muscle on its legs look just right. Not aw 100% sure but maybe wait for more crits.  Im looking for some good feedback. Im working on Model sheets of me for the Flash. It took me some time, but I got down the main look first. It has no deep detail. Its plain and looks like just regular Manga thing but Im trying my hardest to work away from that. Lots of feed back from any one would be nice. Edit: forgot to post my pic :lol: |

 just another point to mention Zhen. ur arm porportions are off too. hope the red lines help explian thema bit better. nice work though keep it up guys. jubjub: spiffing as always. ur top left hand is a bit off to me. the index finger looks a tad longer than the middle in my opinion and the thumb is a bit broken looking. i know they are sketches so i guess they are no biggys. great work though. to rade: drop ur horizontal contour a bit. the eyes shud be half way. also why all the text? dont think u need reminded what an ear looks like or a nose etc lol. plus for model sheets they shud be tidier.

lol, I figure why not label them. I can be very forgetful :lol: Ill work on the horizontal, not sure what you mean by half way. Half way closer or apart, farther down or up? Yea they are very messy, yet in the final final model sheet. It will be clean. I should have said, this is a ruff messy model sheet. |
