He means he uses references (helpful pictures of what you want to draw) and he takes from that stuff., Good lot of us reference. I, for one, usually reference a difficult pose or muscles, etc.

Hope you post more; no need to be shy! We are here (for the most part) to help you improve :)

Larky's room is still open.
You guys are out there. Come on in.

Talk about a FUCKING SPOILER ALERT!!!

could've waited until when it was working, or used a friend's.

Or just take pics instead of a video, or screenshots of the video, if pictures are too difficult.

I didn't even watch the video, cba.

OH MY GOD RY IS PAINTING COLORFULLY!!!

I don't think that you have to be "good" to make an art thread and post your stuff. After all, there are some people on the forums that aren't and they have their art thread, and thats cool

I won't mention names because I might offend someone *coughs*KAKASHI*coughs* >_>

If you are keen on improving, however, I would say practice. Yeah, I know, its pretty generic. But seriously, draw from more references and try to get the feel for things. Try to imagine the picture you are looking at not as a whole, but as shapes and all that stuff. Work your way up, I guess.

If I said the exact same thing as Cubles, which I doubt I did, but still, its cuz I cba to read whatever he wrote. Soz. :/

You are barely on at all, and you decide to post here, now?
And blaming people for their lack of postage!?!
Stop being a hypocrit and post your own damn work!

In other news, great job Riot. ;)

La gasp!

... Posting "Use the search", "Use Google" or similar messages without providing relevant links is a bannable offence, y'know. Especially when it's not helpful.

That isn't a very good way to start your time here on Newgrounds, LilNae!

Lol :P

Your warranty will probably cover it, if it hasn't expired.
Tablet pens aren't supposed to break.
I'm sure you've already tried, but make sure you've updated your driver before you do anything extreme.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REX!!!
Hey, I have an idea!
You should totally start up the Doubles again!!!
Pretty please with a cherry on top?! :)

It also took me a lot longer....

Yeah.... the angle is really weird...

I don't know half of those people, so I'm not really sad.
However, it is still customary...

No, its alright. We can go into the unscouted section and view your pic.
You might also want to post it here with a link though. :)

Yeah it's strange but when I turn it downside up it appears that the character's unintentionally dancing

"More than 1,600 people agreed to chip in an average of $17 through a Web site, DetroitNeedsRoboCop.com, and half of the target amount was contributed by a San Francisco company that specializes in turning fake consumer products from movies and television shows into reality. Not coincidentally, the company, Omni Consumer Products, shares its name with the villainous conglomerate that tried to turn a dystopian Detroit into Delta City in the 1987 science-fiction film."
Yeah.

Thanks. I was basically following some concept sketches my partner gave me, but I'll be sure so make some more variety.

Anyways, heres a schizophrenic rabbit or something.

Also have a decent number of pencil drawings I may upload in the near future.

Yay, rainbow-popsicle wisps!
I think the colors of the character and the wisps could be a bit brighter so they pop out of the background.

I've found that opening scanned images on notebook paper in a program such as photoshop, SAI, or Gimp and messing with the brightness and contrast will be able to save your image while getting rid of the nasty lines. Works best with pen and inked B&W drawings, but it might be worth a shot.

Nae, I approve of this.
I greatly approve of this.
