oooh...i recognize that...umm..jub did it!....but i did do something with a guy that had a paint can on his head...basically looked like a bucket
 ...but it still looks good nontheless...Most people around where i live would consider you a God at art
 :rolleyes: umm...crits...let's see...the opening in the bucket should bend the other way, because if it were to bend that way...then you should see the inside of it... his arm is too muscleless...if he was a warrior he would more than likely have alot of muscles...but i dunno if he has armor or cloth around his arm...if it is cloth it would probably be tight and therefore show off his bulging muskles!! RROAR..... you can see too much of the right side of his breast plate... here ya go  : the shards of concrete should be jagged...since concrete crumbles... |

That's pretty good Dawhat.I think what would improve what you've already done is some more detail.Perspective and porportions take time to learn with LOTS of practice(someday i'll get there).But detail is something that is an easy starter.You could look up online medieval and renaissance armor for some inspiration for intricately made suits of armor or more basic armor and use your imagination from there really.One thing was the legs,it kinda looks like the legs are gone,i dunno maybe he's standing in water or something.If so maybe you could add some ripples around were his legs meet the water,or maybe it's just unfinished. As far as the more complex things that would improve the look i'd always recommend the resources we have on the forums HERE were more skilled people than me explain some ways to draw lighting and things like that.If you're really interested in improving i'd definately study through those resources.I know it's not fun but it REALLY pays of in the end.Sorry if i couldn't be more helpful. |

Hey Cole, the colors in that picture are pretty nice. Here's my advice on vanishing points that I did a while ago: Right now your vanishing points are still on the page, which is creating that really extreme perspective. If that's a stylistic choice then tell me to bugger off, but it looks less real than moving your vanishing points well away from the center of the picture. Kib also has a nice demo relating form, color, and distance on the Animation & Illustrating main section. (Edit: Or check about 1/2 way down here, I can't find his actual post right now) |

Hey jub, he's kneeling. Kinda see his boot outline in this cape? I got bored and did a shitty paint job. I'm definitely learning as I go. Everytime I draw something, I do something better. My detail isn't always there because I just draw in history class and study hall and have no references and draw by memory.

Ok i totally get it now Dawhat.I see,I would make the thighs extend down a little further and then the porportions would look alot better as far as the legs go.I think that picture with him kneeling would look better with the cape more spread out behind him across the ground.But that is a cool picture,don't get me wrong,i'm just critiquing it cause i realy do like it and can easily see it better with some small fixes.That and you gave him something that he was focusing on the ground,which is a cool touch and the hands are placed pretty well on the sword.O,and i just noticed some shadows there too.I haven't seen too much of your stuff but i'm sure if you keep it up you'll get alot better pretty quick .Keep it up. |

Oh,hey Miyuko.She looks differant than when you did that sketch on the character design topic.That's a cool look with the webbed toes and hands.She looks almost glossy,it fits well.Only thing i noticed was that the eyes make her seem like somewhat of a lifeless character.From what you guys/girls described about the character,it seems like maybe slightly more human or feminine looking would complete the look you're going for.She looks somewhat stereotypical alienlike with them.Overal though she's an interesting character. |

That's not bad at all alistair.Maybe a little bit of a cast shadow below were the ribcage would be would give a little of an affect that he's leaned towards you and foreshortening and all that. |

Miyuko: her legs looks weird. Almost like you're viewing it from a higher cameraview compared to the rest of the body. aw crap..this is to hard. Just try to find some references instead^^ Some random sketches. Drawn in Pencilmania 1.1  (I hate all 4 of them) |

ooo,i see well i suppose someone around here that has a mac might have some advice on that. Comlock-Yeah,it is a difficult pose huh,hehe.I like em,a wide variety of stuff today from ya.Apart from the head that you caught on the girl there, i also noticed the arch in the spine above the hips.I need to practice poses,i don't have much in that department up my sleeves,well without any referances. |

Your picture reminds me of a Zora, Miyuko! It's a great look you've come up with for a character-- the glossy skin is a nice touch indeed, and the colours are a good pick. One spot you could work on is the perspective of her right leg. It's something that I have lots of trouble with, too.  As her lower leg sits behind her, it should be shortened. I drew this little picture, hope it helps.   Alistar!!-- what a lanky, hairy creature it is :bitey:! I don't know much about photoshop with macintosh... But I would suggest using a different brush for shading/highlights to give him that more 'hairy' look. Comlock... I always feel uneasy commenting on your work 'cause it's so damned good!! The detail on the ranger fellow in the bottom right is stunning... His stance could better serve him, though-- perhaps if it were more aggressive. I have realized I need to really start pushing my sketches more and try more difficult angles and positions! Here are my sketches for today:

What is this, Comlock? I tried looking it up online but found some Korean site dedicated to cataloguing pencil types, presumably so that, once mankind has wiped itself out, future beings will be able to know that we had several. If only we had listened to the pencils. kib |

Hehe,aww........koreans.Woo hoo AK,foreshortening!Welcome to the hell that most of us artists reside in for most of eternity.Agh,well,it's not THAT hard.Those are good though.I don't think i'm qualified to critique that stuff cause drastic angles in perspective and the likes are a big weak area to me too.Hehe,on a side note though i like the back one of the guy hunched down and stewing over something :lol: |

FLASH GENIUS (I wish...)
|
oooo, shes sexxxxxxy, lol Um, now for the crits: Just from glancing over it, the fingers on both hands seem to be a little too 'sharp' for my taste in hands (Although, I SUCK at hands, i just noticed that, and you might wanna change it) Also, with the bands over the quads, they look pretty square to me, like the top part of her leg sorta looks flat the way they things are strapped on. And a little tid bit, is i think the top hair line (where it like parts or whatever) i think it needs to be moved to her right our left just a tad, id show you what i mean, but im at school so ca c'est Impossible! Overall, very appealing unless you start picking it apart. |

Actually, the squareness is flash's fault. Stupid vectors... If you zoom in its perfect. I have no idea why it does that when not zoomed. Will try to fix that Thanks for the comments. EDIT: Fixed it, I think. |

"I need to study anatomy"--- Ranoka, ya crack me up!
:lol: Excellent for your first time, Cel!  Her head sticks out a bit above the forehead, outside her hair. The expression on her face is quite unnerving... one of secret satisfaction of a job well done.
