Do you draw by hand and then scan & colour them on ms paint?
XD Colouring on ms paint is BORING O_____O My friends chris (who happens to be in this guild) got me to do a 20px by 20px gradient ~.~ going up by 2px of colour each line... needless to say I got bored before anything fun happened.... That's why I like your style ^-^ You must have amazing patience to do something like that ^-^
critiquing~
Your first picture is good, the form is nice and the colours go very well together... But I would work on the hands (>.< Im bad at hands too) And add a smoother transition into different shades (It gives it the anime-realism feel)
I like the second picture better, although It does have block colouring it does have better hands (good job XD I envy that) and the guitar has lovely shading that flows evenly, and the lighting of the guitar is fabulous
Oh, sorry yes I start every drawing on paper first. Sketching by hand is possibly my greatest simple pleasure in life and it's what I did to pass the time in boring classes during school XD
Is Chris the guy that made the avi art in your signature? If so I talked to him once
mrgreen I used to be completely satisfied without coloring any of my drawings until someone volunteered to color my sketches for practice a couple years ago and they turned out beautiful and I got to thinking maybe I should give it a try and ms paint was all I had so I began the death march of pixel by pixel coloring... and it's still a complete pain in the backside and takes forever for anything to look decent, but on some level I started enjoying it too, but it's still a love/hate relationship =_=; and thankyou ^_^ but I'm not sure patience is the right word... maybe it's like a form of OCD lol
gah! yeah hands have always been one of my weak points since I almost never draw them (I mostly did only drawings of faces and the upper body for years. I love drawing eyes
heart ) and it's one of the areas I've been forcing myself to branch out into practicing recently.
I like the second one better too... I really like how Aya Kanno draws guys and I tried to incorporate some of her style since I thought the main character's personality in one of her series matches the guy I drew.
That guitar... that thing took foreeeeeever to color! I was heck bent on making that guitar look cool though so it was worth the time XD
Thanks for your critique. It helped out ^_^
