Tight trousers come with the territory! Wolf, hope you don't mind--- I had to put some lighting on this deranged little bear of yours.   His expression is priceless! ----------------------------------------------------- These are all 4-5 minute studies:

Very cool studies. Try shorten your torso a bit though and bring those pecs further down the sternum, these two things seem just that little bit off.

Very very nice!. These have a very nice character to them, they feel alive. I personally love drawing in pen and these are working pretty well. You're nice and loose about the outlines which gives it a sense of motion. Now bring that looseness inside the forms. Don't be afraid to lay down lines you'll just go over on the inside. IE, start with your basic action line and get the weight/proportion right, and build up on top of that. Don't worry about making mistakes, just go for it. I'd also recommend experimenting with hatches to help describe the forms better. I just love those girls, their hair is great! You can see where you tighten up on the hand an feet. Don't do that! Keep it loose and confident like your girls. Oh, and you're playing a lot with depth by including your hand. Things that are closer to you should be more detailed, have high contrast, thicker lines, etc. Great work! |

The lines that show the bend of his elbows should be curved the other way to show that the forearm is in front of the upper arm. That's only if that's what you were going for. Do you use building blocks when you draw? |

huh...i didn't notice that before you said it twin
 Building blocks..like for the weapons?? or for the whole thing??...either way i just drew it.. i'm only familiar with head construction..you know..with guidelines and stuff.. not the rest of the body so if you guy's have some good sites where you learn how to make guidelines and stuff for the whole body i would gladly appreciate that

You need not look farther than the Illustration Resource Section, maintained by our very own--- the irreproachable Rubberhead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Trolls!  This one is in a Warcraft-sense rather than your typical lumbering folktale troll. |

Trolls are nice. That one is no exception. The only thing I can say about it is that the biceps seem to stop at the deltroid (shoulder). That muscle goes right from the elbow to under the pecs (chest), into the armpit. |

akpaintsinger: the troll looks great but the anatomy is messed up in some parts and the helmut lent portrait is just awesome wasting time trying to improve my coloring

Your shading is improving massively but I have a big crit coming your way
The are a few small areas which are very easy to improve to add more realism. For example the ear on your gentlemen is not following the perspective of the rest of the face (which is a major problem with a lot of my drawings at the moment, I tend to get lazy), and it seems as if you are avoiding construction?

Hey, bodot! Great value-sketch, you really defined the lights and darks well.  I would suggest a bit of blending in certain areas using the eyedropper tool and brush opacity settings:  Go back and try that on your sketch--- you'll be pleased! |

Nice size hook on that fella, Deuce!
Try throwing a bit of neutral-dark colour or gradient on your background layer to define the light source and make shading easier on his body. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posemaniacs - 30 seconds / ea.

Doesn't that just feel really really good? Comparing new to old and to know for a fact that you've improved? The new one really is much better than the 3 month old one, love it. |

I completely agree! The face on the right shows you've grasped a better understanding of the face and its structure. |
