Why the heck not? I sass-mouth Comlock and Humble's stuff all the time and they'd whip me all over the place professionally. It's perfectly fine to critique someone of any skill level; your eyes are valuable to us.

Because I still learn something everytime you post. That would be like the annoying kid in class who points it out everytime the teacher says something wrong. If you insist though, here's a few crits for you.

Thanks, gotta watch the horse heads. Always the horses! Helpful hint of the day: Horse bodies are three head-lengths long. And the reason I always mess it up is because I can't measure.  You don't really want to know what she's doing... Kinda just came out that way, with her legs apart. :rolleyes: Thanks again for the critique. Edit: I LOVE that paintover, Jemooky. |

Very nice sketches HadOne2Many.Like the body Jemooky since it's done in 3 min its hard to crit it  maybe get some better flow in the hair but other then that sweet for 3 min.And awesome painting on the gargoyleAngh nice scriblings.Like the shading and flow in the lineart but yeh work on horses  Here is my entry.Spent 15 min on it overall I think.Around that anyways.  I love fantasy stuff and everyone I know tells me my brain is full of it But even with fantasy you fail if you don't know basic athonemy(Spelled? :yfok:)And I don't have much of it Anyways Crits and comments are allways welcomed

Jemooky - I also like your paintover. For your self portrait, what is the criteria? Is it supposed to be very realistic or a charicature. Right now it is somewhere in the middle. I don't know what you look like either so I can't comment on whether you captured yourself or not. Maybe you could link to a reference pic of yourself? Inflame - glad you like it, That was just a starting point for the new character I'm working on. More too come soon. Your drawing is nice too, very imaginative. I really like the wings and the way you did the axe blade. If you want to learn basic anatomy then look into "Andrew Loomis", "Louise Gordon", or "Burne Hogarth". These are the three main sources for my studies and they have helped me tremendously. Be warned though, its hard work and takes serious dedication.Todays sketches 5 - 10 minutes for each figure, unreferenced  EDIT: My real name is David |

HadOne2Many: Nice ones, for advice I'dd say work on drawing faces, you don't want to fall behind in that area. What's your real name? Junk for today, reminds me of Gandalf, even tough that was unintentional

Rubberhead - Thanks for the advice. I really like your cross hatching. Especially around the cheekbone. Old people are hard to draw. Don't know if you notice my edit on my last post, but my real name's David. InFlamE - You're welcome. For you latest sketch I would suggest widening the shoulders and toning down the folds somewhat. Some more shading on the head to emphasize the skull shape would look good too, here's a Good Site with nice big pictures of the human skull from different angles that may help. I like how you have bits and pieces of flesh hanging from the hand, you should try that on the head too. Have you ever heard of Alfredo Lopez? Based off the types of drawings you do I think you would really like his work. Keep it up. Tinsterr - thanks, but I'm really not that good. I still can't draw figures from the side or back without reference. If you practice something enough though it becomes second nature. Faces it is for today then! These are more stylistic than realistic and may end up on my character sheet for the girl I keep drawing (once I learn how do properly draw hair). Crits more than welcome.

i think you have been doing a great job hadone2many. Keep it up it seems like every time your anatamy is geting better! Ive seen lots of sketchs you have done but how about you color some of them in. Sometimes ive noticed coloring something in makes you realize some parts just dont look right. Good luck hope to see more soon. |

Wow, thanks guys. And Ravenseye I'll try and color something, I could use some crits in that area too. I am trying to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator today, and here's my first attempt at digital inking with this program. Any advice on this picture (or even the program)? The two things I see that I know need changing is the hair and the heel of the boot.  Sorry bout the height, but it looked horrible when smaller. |

Inflame it looks pretty good. Most of the things are in the right place
. Her left (our right) shoulder is a little too high, and the left forearm is a little too long. Also the hips usually start curving higher on the torso. The face and head need a little realigning too. Breast, navel, and crotch are all in the right places. Still I think its better than my first real attempt, here's a link. I posted this picture a couple of months ago, and it got eaten alive (rightfully so too). If I can get better, anybody can. |

HadOne2Many: That looks good. The anatomy is what needs correcting imo if you want to get it correct. The left leg of hers is way longer than her right leg. Both touch the ground almost the same way even if the left leg is bent. Then maybe the arms are a bit too long/elbows too high. Ink-wise it looks pretty good. Handdrawn feeling to it. Maybe darken the lines a bit, it fades quite much at places. |

The linework is nice, but to be brutally frank the proportions here are wrong pretty much everywhere. First thing you need to think about are the pose, and the positioning and proportion of the ribcage and pelvis. Once you have those right drawing the rest should be easy. If you don't get it right your drawing will look wrong no matter how hard you work on it. The most serious problem I see here is that the pelvis is way to tiny and the ribcage is too short. Another major problem is the rythm and line of action of the figure. The ribcage is floating infront of the pelvis in an unrelaxed state while the pose suggest that the torso is infact leaning back a little. The arms lean back but the shoulders remain in a forced position postion, and the legs have a more anxious feel to them. The entire pose seems to be strugling with itself.  *edit* today totally sucked, meh... quicky
