Shit, I hate people who criticize with no evidence of decent art of their own. Also, about the pose, have you ever seen the picture of tom jumping? then you'll know what a weird pose for a jump is. And how do you know that he's not practicing? How do you know he didn't whip this up in 5 seconds, and if he took time he could make art to make you want to curl up and DIE? Fucking bitch.

Ah! Very clever... and no, I'm not the God of Human Drawing. Now, It doesn't haven't to be perfect, but this 'sketch' is far from perfect. As for the pose, even if he used reference from a picture, the body structure is still awkward. Using reference doesn't mean that it will look exactly like the picture, now does it? I also never said anything about him not practicing, I said that he should practice. Maybe when he has improved greatly he can comeback and show us his progress. He probably didn't 'whip this up in 5 seconds' either. But posting a sketch like this leads me to beleive that he's far from finished. I'm not trying to be hostile at all, I'm just trying to help this kid improve. And do you know how many art critics there are without any artistic talent giving out the best advice? This thread had no real crits, so I decided to jump in and point out a few. Sometimes they might appear insulting, but in most cases the author is just trying to highlight a particularly glaring flaw. Seriously, one should learn how to receive criticism. It's the only way he'll improve.
Also, here's an example of my work incase you're wondering: http://www.newground../topic.php?id=590670

Haha!

Nice dude. But you have a tablet, don't you? Why don't you use it over your old sketches? This one would look great colored.

Something a little different:

Oooh! What are you, like fourteen? The anatomy in your picture is WAY off. The hand looks horrible, his legs are oversized, his face is too small, his jaw doesn't make sense, his forearms are too short, and this is an awkward pose for someone to be jumping in the air. Best advice anyone can give you: Buy some anatomy books, draw from life, and practice, practice practice!

Oh no, I wouldn't do that just yet. I suggest you go buy some anatomy books and practice 24/7. I painted over your picture to point out all of your mistakes. I rate it a 3/10.

I just finished this one:

Here's another:

The Official Sketchbook Thread!

Rules:

1. Do not post shit art.
Do you think you sketch is good enough to be posted here? Did you work hard on your peice, or is it something you made in four minutes? Make sure you've been practicing and improving before you post here.

2. Tracing and copying.
If you trace or copy artwork, please state who the original artist is. Copying art is for studying only. You must give credit to the original artist. You cannot copy someone else's art, make a few changes, and call it your own.

3. Criticism is welcome.
Please learn how to give and receive criticism. Try being as constructive as possible. Don't post comments such as "I don't like the hair", or "She is ugly!".

Here's my sketch to start the thread off:

Some of my sketches are posted on my Myspace Blog, so check it outah.

Would it be appropriate to post this in the Art Forum?

Well, I've always wanted to make a Platformer, but I'd need the help of another artist.

My vote for extreme win, just based on the quality alone.

Thank you! I always appreciate it when somebody likes my artwork.

Oh yes, can you guys also show me examples (artwork, animation) of your work? I'm also up for making a game. ;-)

Reply if you're intrested!

Well, it doesn't really matter as long as they're decent at drawing and animating. Oh yes, I also know nothing about script.

Hey homies, I'm looking for an animator to do the Halloween Contest with me.
Here's an example of my work, since I don't have any flash submitted yet.

For the video game contest. I didn't get many comments for it, i'd like to see what you people think about it. It took two days, on and off. Made using Photoshop and a Wacom Tablet. Enjoy!

You've never heard of that? There's so many artists who have other people ink and color their peices.

Corel Painter or Adobe Photoshop. Now, can somebody please lock this thread?
