Shindoutou's occasional sketch-dump

[Shindoutou]

Hi there, and welcome to my thread!

So. I decided to make a critique thread of my own, I'll post pictures here so you guys can give me pointers or tips on where or how to improve my drawing skills, and maybe you can find errors in pictures where I haven't found them.

That said, let the first art-dump commence!

SPOILER! :

So please, if you have any comments on one of these drawings, let me know, because I'm very willing to improve my skills!

thir picture is tiny heads. also arms are off in same picture.

Wow, i love your stuff the 2nd pic is cute. For CnC, the third picture of the couple (whilst very cute) their heads are waaay too small compared to their bodies. I also feel like the first guys' arms should be sliiightly longer, fingers tend to reach mid-thigh, but it's pretty much there. I like that wolf-guy thing, very cool

Your very good at drawing faces and clothes! Keep up the great work!

[Shindoutou]

Thanks for the replies!

I've re-done the third picture, this time on A3 paper instead of A5 :P
Brought a lot of troubles along the way though, as it couldn't fit under my scanner.. Had to scan it in two parts, while still cropping the top and bottom off, and then photoshop it together.. Hope it doesn't show too much ^^;

Here it is, I tried to keep in mind what you said, I think it looks better now.



(Her right eye is off, and I messed up the hands. But that's nothing new Dx)

They still look pretty super tall but it is definitely better than before

[Shindoutou]

It might be deceiving on this picture, but they are actually 6.5 heads tall, not what I'd call super tall. But thanks

[Sylux]

Their bodies and proportions are elongated

[Shindoutou]

Here's a new drawing, done without reference.


Please tell me where to improve!

The way the far leg is placed makes it look like the guy is falling over or kneeling weirdly, but I think you were going for a more action pose? Wait to see what other people say as I'm probably wrong but that's the only thing that stands out for me the character is looking awesome by the way
