Not bad. Shows promise. Do you want constructive criticism or not?

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Well I'd prefer constructive criticism to...uh...not constructive (un-constructive? de-constructive?).

Hence, why I wrote "constructive criticism". :wink:

Like I said, you have promise. Definitely on the right track. Maybe in some new work, you could add some more depth. Right now, your figures are very 2 dimensional.

I get a sense that you understand movement of the human body and where everything is supposed to be. i.e. the Raven pic, but maybe not anatomy so much, which is why you draw characters that are covered in big cloaks and jackets. Yes? It never hurts to work on anatomy. Especially when drawing people, which seems to be your focus. (As it is mine.)

For your style, you seem to have a good grasp of facial structure, and again, based on the Raven pic, a good grasp of the hand. Those are two of the hardest things to draw on the human body.

I would comment on your feet, but you seemed to have Leifelded them. :wink:

Overall, like I said, definite promise. I would recommend some anatomy books to study.

The photoshopped piece is cool. Cyberized woodcutesque drawings of early 20th-century businesswomen with giant death rays? AWESOME! :D

Always encode pixil art (like the first pic) as a png. Large areas of the same color are actually larger in jpeg format, and they look horrible because of compression artifacts.

Yeah, that’s something that I can do well, but I really need to work on drawing in a way that doesn’t leave a bunch of hard to get rid of grime all over the picture…really I need to just stop resting my hand on the frikken drawing.

I understand enough anatomy to draw people up until I get to their torsos/pelvises, at which point they need a tunic :lol: . I do have a friend who owns an “anatomy for artists” kind of book that I bet she’d lend me.

I'll post more stuff like that once I create my Photobucket account. I've got some X-Com stuff and stuff from my crazy ass gender issues space opera 'verse with like, the hyper feminist empire, an' the gay federation, and the dysfunctional man empire who fly around in giant space penises and wear space armor that makes them look like The Great Humongous!

You need quotation marks around the names.
