It's not bad. Especially for MS paint work.

I suggest getting something like open canvas. Theres a free one you can download that gives you a lot more freedom. Also try drawing by hand a bit more then scanning it in to work on it. It actually makes things a lot easier.

As for suggestions. Stop following references so closely. Yes they are good but I noticed you are using them as a crutch. It's especially evident with your last one. 6.6 I suggest instead memorizing human body proportions, anatomy ect and start to branching off.

Trust me, doing so will help a lot. It will help lead the way into learning foreshortening, better shadow placement and won't require you to hunt down anything to start drawing.

I appreciate you taking the time to critique me Tavis :] I've recently upgraded to using Adobe Photoshop Elements which does make things a whole lot easier and faster.

The first three and my two newest avatar arts all started as rough sketches on paper and finished in ink and scanned in.

As for following references... I totally agree. It's something I keep putting off, but I need to learn anatomy so I can create with originality and develop my own style.

I get his advice and it's something I need to do to be able to call myself a real artist.
I'll do an art trade though I'll start going back to my own style so it'll be a lot rougher and lower quality. I need the practice ._.;

Umm........ok your a girl.........i think.
anyway i started with your previous avi.
Should i continue with that or make one from of this one? smile
PostPosted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:27 pm


zee previous one please m(._.)m

i'll start when as soon as i can. i'm in the middle of my workweek and i've taken on the task of drawing every pic in my anatomy book 20 times each so i can memorize it... i'm a little slow when it comes to mental work ;_;

OK hehehe mrgreen
Wow thats how you practice? THat's wow.
Me? i just practice in my head hehehe xd
Oh yeah and when i'm done should i send it to you through pm or can i post it here or something?
PostPosted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:58 pm


i usually never practice and that's become quite a problem since i left school and no one forced me to >_>; training like that is just a part of my personality i guess. all or nothing baby XD

you can send it however you're more comfortable with. i check up on all my guilds so if you post in here i'll know about it almost as fast as if it was in my inbox. i'll probably add a gold tip just for you making the effort C:
