Posted August 1, 2014 haha wow this thread has been dead for a while hasn't it-- apologies for no new updates, guys! i've been super busy with life. so today i was finishing up a friend's request (aiming to finish it completely tomorrow) and i started feeling really bad about my art because wow my friends are like the next da vinci so i threw together a progress chart of may to july for funsies, and wanted to share it here. to be honest, i'm still not truly proud of my art, but i guess there's some improvement? no idea, but i'll keep drawing anyway! haha literally got so lazy on july Share this post Link to post
Posted August 2, 2014 I was super productive today! Completed a request and drew something for fun; I'm slowly moving down the list. First, I ADORE Ara's new job class, Asura. So I did a small headshot for fun. Second is a request my friend made a long time ago--never felt like I could actually draw it and I'm still not too proud, but here it is. Might ink it later Add from the game, Elsword. Also where the first picture is from. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 2, 2014 Aaaayyyyyy look at that improvement especially that last one oh my god you're really getting good at this. Look out everyone we have another future Da Vinci on the loose. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 2, 2014 Like everyone is saying, SO MUCH IMPROVEMENT! You were great to start off, and you're only getting better! I love the expression on the pencil-drawn girl, and the clothing is nicely detailed as well. On the inked one, the strokes are fairly confident, and it looks like you put in a lot of effort to do things in one stroke! Great work! Share this post Link to post

Good Job! haha still working on that oops i'm sorry ahh thank you so much!! ♥ it makes me really happy to hear that!

Posted August 4, 2014 and the sketch of Enderkid's request is done! ♥ i apologise for the crappy quality; my scanner has decided to be a butt and unexpectedly stop working on me :c so until i get this figured out, every picture will be taken with rather crappy ipad camera, many apologies. :c as a thank-you for the many avatars he's gifted me as well as encouragement, i'll be inking this drawing as soon as i can, and then i'll move onto seacat's!

Posted August 4, 2014 Aaaah I wish I could have you draw one of my characters but alas, I have no human/humanoid ones :c The closest I have is a hominid dragon who's based off the great apes and his design isn't even a hundred per cent complete. Now then, looking at the above sketch and I'm gonna level a couple crits. The girl seems to be leaning very hard to her right, and neither seem to have any elbows. Posture problems can be fixed by creating a simple 'wire frame', lightly sketched so it can be played around with until it's right, and then you can lightly sketch over that to make sure your subject looks right. As for elbows and other such anatomical things... let's just say Google is your best friend for finding all sorts of references! Remember those pics I showed you demonstrating how every vertebrate has the same skeletal structure? =D Share this post Link to post
Posted August 4, 2014 OwO Wow, that's really good! Like RamPaging Wyvern said, the anatomy is a tiny bit off (especially with joints) but it's till so good! The details are very impressive, and the slight shading tops everything off perfectly! The hair on the boy is also very well done, and I like how he's holding a sword while smiling softly- it suggests a war torn land. Great work! Share this post Link to post

Great work! aa cries thank you so much!! i'm going to practise more to try to improve with joints ^^ thank you for your words, though! compliments brighten up my day and crit really helps me know which points to focus on. so poetic omg touches your words Share this post Link to post
Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) made me come all the way to the forum page to see it instead of just putting in the skype conversation lol Wow it looks great just like the actually thing. Aside from all the criticism previously stated, I feel that the neck is a bit longer, and then Xenon's face is slightly off. It may just be me though @-@ Overall, great job. Looking forward to the final one. Edited August 4, 2014 by Enderkid Share this post Link to post
Posted August 5, 2014 It remains great. Well. To me, at least. ^^ Oh, also, because I forgot, quick thing about my request(though it's fine if you can't)- The eyes have white pupils and black otherwise. (Sorry for forgetting to mention this before!) Anyways, the details you do are awesome~ And I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work! ^^ Back to lurking I go. Share this post Link to post

Those were the wire frames I was using to help me work out a run cycle for the Thanvei while I was sketching out a skeletal structure. Nothing complex, just a way to mark out the primary bones and joints for fleshing out later. I usually omit things like wrists though that usually comes down to whether I actually remember to add them. Edited August 5, 2014 by rampaging wyvern Share this post Link to post

Anyways, the details you do are awesome~ And I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work! ^^ Back to lurking I go. ohh thank you! <33 aaa i see! nono, it's okay. c: i've never drawn that kind of eye before, but i'll try my best! <3 ohh thank you so much! <3333 i'm so happy to hear that. ahah, thank you for viewing! ; v ; all practise I'm pretty sure I've explained before, but here's a photo to help explain far more clearly. oops big picture See those two little figures?

Learning proportions, limitations and so on, but it really is infinitely useful once you really get the hang of it :3 Trial and error, basically. You'll learn to recognise when a frame's right! And sticking with a frame also takes some practise - even now I'll stray somewhat from a frame if I realise a proportion's off. Work at it, and I know you'll end up doing great <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted August 7, 2014 oh good lord-- aaa i'm sorry! :c i can only draw humans; i don't have experience or knowledge in animal anatomy yet! Figured. just throwing something random at you, cortesy of my younger cousins random mind. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 7, 2014 and Enderkid's request is done and inked! i'm not too proud of this one, but thank you so much to everyone who offered amazing advice! <3 you guys really help me keep on going and i'm hoping to improve more as i draw. Share this post Link to post
