Francy's Art - Critique wanted - Some NSFW.

[FrancysPai]

I think I'll give it a rest a few days and come back to it. Probably just need to clear my head a little and give my wrist a rest.

In other news, I did these;

Start of my drawing, September (when I first started...gosh...has it been three months already x_x)

links are broken for me D:

Yep me too

That would be twitpic being lame.
One sec. It's just a comparison of the stuff I've done each month, almost like an "improvement meme."
Not much improvement tbh -_-"

3 months isn't all that long. If it's any consolation, you seem to be starting from a good point. Your coloring has definitely improved, as has your anatomy. I'd say what needs to be focused on now is further anatomy study (there are still a few awkward places in the last pic) and perhaps your line work. Try adding a little variety to the thickness of your lines in area. In an anime or manga style, it can make a world's difference.

just in the arms of your first and last pic shown in your last reply, I see great improvement. Your anatomy and body mass perportions are much, much better. And you seem to have relaxed in your art. Keep up the good work

I have a lot of awkward studies to get on with. I went to a friend's house yesterday and he handed me his laptop and tablet and was just like "Go on, try, you've been really down on yourself because of your co-ordination issues, so just give it a go :3"

I did and I think I'm actually starting to get it back. My wrist felt really really clunky at first, like, it wouldn't co-ordinate with the lines that I wanted (was twitching every now and then), but I think I can still remember.

Then I bought some copic markers and wellll they gotta be used to I have no excuses now.
I have two days left off work to draw and try and get a few studies down, so I'm gonna tryy -_- My main issue is faces. I'm trying to go for semi-realistic, which is why muscle structure is always so prominent for me. No matter how hard I try, I can't get semi-realistic eyes. Its driving me nuts.

And speaking of copics, I did these on the train home last night just with a pencil, .3 liner and some copics. It's my first time using copics because I'd bought them that day....also one of the few times I've drawn by memory with absolutely 0 references;

SPOILER. THEY'RE HORRENDOUS. Limited colour palette to work with, so I made the most of it :<

I will admit that in the last picture, Vega's nose is a little too far forward, and his nostrils look behind the nose, however these are amazing! You've been training for 3 months then gotten yourself a little rusty by stopping, but for the first pic in a while, Koodos on you!!!!

[Blue_Dragon]

o_O That's from memory!? Dude (er...dudette) I wish I could do male bodies that well from memory! And you use of copics is really good-mine always end up...blah. Too saturated in some parts, and not enough in others (though I'm trying to learn. No money to buy any right now.)

Anyway, on to critique. I like them all pretty well. I might suggest in the top left torso and legs, on the far right, I don't think you need that last line coming in above where the rump would be. The top two are okay, but I'd just leave that last one out (does that make sense?)

On your face, the who structure seems pretty sound. I think the make the eyes a little more realistic, don't make them as long, and be sure to add a bit of perspective to the left (his right) eye. Since the face is on an angle, that other eye is going to be smaller, and a little concave, as opposed to longer and narrower.

You've got the head down pretty well other than that. I wanted to say I really like the "stand alone" eye up in the right hand corner of the first image. That is really well done! I also like how you colored it.
