Good schtuff AK! Not much to crit on, but one thing i've noticed is that cast shadows are extremly important on rocks. Since most of them have rough flat faces so shadow is more direct and and geometricly defined rather than smooth. Heres a example (forgive the crappyness, done quickly at my college lab using MS paint, i can update a better pic once I get home)  You can see how rocks are just a jumble of geomtric faces and planes, and what gives the "rocky" feel are the rough and flat faces and edges with relative shading. Some of the edges may be smoother than others, but the shading principle still exists. |

Looks good, but a bit monochrome. The source image has great contrast between the yellow of the sun light and the blue of the shadow. This effect occurs because the sun light is warm and yellow, so anything the sun hits directly becomes that colour. But at the same time, the sun illuminates the sky as if it were any other object, and the sky reflects blue light. Therefore, anything that gets hit with the blue reflected light becomes that colour also. Here's a great site for lighting theory. |

Not bad Lol- I believe the style you may be trying to achieve here is Cel shading. I dont know much about OC but this Tut from Polykarbon might treat your fancy if your gonna use photoshop. Theres only one problem i see in the piece and its the shading orientation, the face suggests a forwards or direct light source but the hair looks lit from above because the bottom of the hair is shaded and not casting a shadow on the forehead. |

some ninja sketches....i needed to draw some roughs for the lit magizine at my school. so what do you think of the poses? what needs work? if you could help on any of the ninja poses it would be great, ill need to draw these digitaly on the computer after im happy with the ninjas, ha. i really dont have no experience with poses (like lenghts of arms and legs, how the should bend and what not) these are just general ninja poses, im not heavily inflicting any detail on them now, just a little though. but im thinking to make them just look like this. i hope comlock sees these, i know hes great with helping in this kind of stuff (poses, etc)  and here are some mouth sketches, helping me practice and stuff....and of coarse you cant see the main drawing in the top left corner that well, was suppose to be the best one. basically below i was testing to see how the shape of the teeth are and how the lips are shaped and curved around the mouth are. i hate the bottom mouth though.

Othugmuffin- refer to page 316 of this thread, and the 15th post down, i have a blurb on gestural lines w/ poses and ETC. The main problem that i see is undefined figure and awkward posing. As for proportions, sites like www.polykarbon.com are good if your just starting with human proportions. Your BEST best is to draw from life and find your own method, later on you might consult the Andrew Loomis figure drawing book found here. But thats a bit advanced. As for the mouths they looks pretty good. Not many crits there.  Raven- Too stiff! You have a good design but draw him in motion! I would also tell ya to take a look at that post i reffered Oth to. Tom- Really cool, no crits from me, only comments. I've always dugg your style and it shows in almost everything you draw. Keep it up! |

Here's a perspective drawing of a street. I know that the pavement slants oddly. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c188/ava...axis-street.jpg EDIT: also, here's a coloured wacom drawing with some nice soften fill edges effects: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c188/ava...-the-city-2.jpg |

That's easy to fix. Since it's just a one-point perspective drawing, the pavement should be completely horizontal. |

Haven't touched photoshop in a long time. So I warmed up by doing something really simple (since my tablet pen is still a bit broken, new one is in the mail). These are based on the original metroid and super metroid sprites:

I don't know why but that metroid one is just really funny, probably because of the cute style graphics. Good shading though. I restarted an old flash project from about a year ago (which at the time was just an idea, only yesterday did I actually draw anything for it) and here's a castle interior (with very dodgy bricks): http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c188/ava...le-interior.jpg |

Pirate- Have you ever considered drawing from reference,? Right now i can see your art composition as fairly amature. (not being a snooty bitch here! We where all at a starting level at one time!) That said i give you the same advice i've given a million times over, and that is life study. Go buy a pencil pack then a sketchbook, sit down at a park on a sunny day, do some gesture drawings of the kids playing soccer (or football for you heathens outside of America  ) Or the lady walking here dog.I advise gesture drawing first to loosen up, if your unsure about how to do a gesture drawing look at my post on page 313 of this thread just so as im not repeating anything i've already said before. From there work up to studies of form (drawing the actual detail work) And then work into shading and such, post your results here and we can help you along! Jemooky- Great paint you have going their mate. But the running pose looks a bit shaky, she looks like she's about to fall over a bit. Perhaps give her right leg a firmer plant on the ground so she looks a bit more stable. Looking good though! Keep up the good work
