trying to improve my art. comments and critiques appreciated!
- i'm trying to use a tablet only instead of pencil/scanning.
- right now i'm mostly focusing on light/dark and sketches for practice.
i used a reference for this pic. not great, but i think the people are recognizable (i hope).
didn't bother with the hand. focused mostly on the faces.

Re: unknown5 OTL help!
thanks for the links!
i don't have any formal training, so i just wing it and fudge around with things without looking for tutorials on specific topics.
i need to structure my practice, i guess.
also, i LOVE the stan lee/marvel tutorials. GREAT STUFF!!!
edit:
urk, shiny stuff isn't easy. my lines aren't straight enough. =(

meh. all my random doodles end up like this. *facepalm*

Re: unknown5 OTL help!
Lol my formal "training" was 7th grade art class. The rest was mimic and online tutorials

Re: unknown5 OTL help!
i think i need to move the cthulhu spawn's hand around a bit so i can see more of the forearm for a better pose.
crud. i knew i shoulda put it on a separate layer. QQ
----
edit:
rough sketch for a 'girl next door'-type character. - i'm having A LOT OF TROUBLE drawing pretty eyes, so i'm trying a simplified eye style until i get better at drawing.
if anybody has good tips on drawing eyes, it'd be much appreciated. coloring the eyes doesn't seem as difficult, just
getting the outlines right.
- didn't use any references, so the pose seems off - especially the arms. some of the angles and lengths maybe.
i need to use references, but it just feels like cheating and copying. maybe i need to get over that hangup. dunno.
- i don't mind her weight being shifted to her right leg. feels more dynamic and cheerful. her arms are also out so i think
that balances her out. maybe.
- her helmet, um, her hair ... yeah. gonna have to devote some time to hair study. it's temporary.
i'll fix it up after i study the hair. i was going through some of the advice given on this forum and
read some good tips on drawing hair (no disconnected lines).
- her design is pretty plain, but just wanted to sketch something to start with and improve upon.
edit2: (tl;dr urgh, it sucks. so frustrating trying to draw kawaii.)
edit3: sorry about all the ninja-editing. can't help myself.

For your ( octopus ? ) monster, I think you need to accentuate a perspective from below.

Re: unknown5 OTL help!
ah, thank you for your advice. like a worm's eye view?Relimount wrote:For your ( octopus ? ) monster, I think you need to accentuate a perspective from below.
but for my story, these are humanoid Cthulhu spawn-type creatures. i made them a little bigger than human-sized, but not mammoth like Cthulhu. (hmm, just realized i better make sure that is also clear in my writing ...)
there's also another reason why i like the eye level shot ... but that has to do with the story. so it's a secret.
Re: unknown5 OTL help!
Yes, like a worm's eye view.
And I see, with the explanation.

Re: unknown5 OTL help!
Oh, I love your art! Especially the monster. Those tentacles were marvelously well drawn (for me xD). Keep it up!
Also, I like Brooke's hair. Kinda lends more to her 'girl-next-door' character.
P.S. Disclaimer: I'm not an artist, but I DO like your art! (: I'll be following this thread for updates (:

Re: unknown5 OTL help!
- quick sketch. hope his personality comes through.
- hmm ... i think i dislocated his right shoulder. i'll pop it back in later. QQ
- the idea about using a worm's eye view made me want to make it seem like he's looking down on you.
- triangle leaning back kinda feel.
- trying to avoid stiff poses, unless that's their personality.
edit: urk. going thru some mark crilley videos. :/ they're all kinda like, "hey, watch me draw stuff."
"i'm gonna draw an eye."
*draws an eye*
"i drew an eye. hope u enjoyed it."
why u no explain??? QQ heheh.
edit2: ooh, discussion about sparklies.

edit3: discussion about shading.
http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 54&t=21830
edit4: johnny sparkles. lol. for 'unreliable'.
- cleaned up, shortened upper arm, fixed shoulder, etc.
- still wip. don't like the folds in his shirt.
- going thru anatomy tutorials on DA to see what i'm doing wrong.
- hmm. need to check other stuff i'm not sure about.
- oh, yeah. his face is supposed to be blank. edit5: hand looks too small?
