not sure what to do with the background... also comments and crit highly welcome

i sure hope i get lucky :D

i originally tired to get one in "pre-release" phase but had shop conformation issues.

i got mine on the 1st of jan as it seemed the most logical time to buy and renew it.

as for "making it do more stuff" why should it?... your showing your support... not paying for added features (well your not getting ad's any more... so you could say your getting less :D)

Question -

Can we do more then one sketch so the person we are grouped with can choose which one to work with?

Or are we keeping it 1 to 1?

Not sure if ironic... Or blind

I think is safe to always say people will allways agree to disagree what is "art"

everyone has their own views about what makes a piece of artwork good and i dont think there will ever be a point in time where art is defined, because basically everything can be classed as art...

i myself personally loves quality and detail.. yet at the same time i love simplistic drawings with a really deep style.

a guy in a bed?... a cat shaking hands with a mouse?... a face?.... are these really things that no one else has done before?...

but seriously this is childish artwork. maybe someone out there likes this. but this is not for me.

i would say dali's artwork is the work of a mad genius brain.

as for the picture 50/50 posted... i had to work out what everything was...

i think its a girl whos drunk too much and has collapsed next to a toliet and tissue paper is everywhere...

and if someone said this shows good anatomy then what the hell are they looking at!?...

HOW MANY HANDS HAVE YOU SEEN HAVE 3 FINGERS!... and she doesn't even have a shoulder...

i dont like it... its a mess of a picture and if i have to WORK OUT what it is im looking at... sorry but its not that good.

and i bet is some "famous" art work by some "professional" artists getting tones of money... bah!

What i would say is this...

If ANYONE can pick up a brush/pen what ever and replicate the picture / drawing... then its not good.

if its going to be hard to replicate because there alot of skill involved in the picture. then i would say it is good.

however im not saying simple paintings are bad, im saying as long as skill and effort has gone into them then i generally like them.. the more skill and effort, the more i like them *most of the time*

Makes sense. I very much agree with test-object on this matter, but there are some things that bother me a bit. Does this apply to those who keep repeating the same mistake over and over again? You know, people who keep their flawed style and don't improve. Well I guess it doesn't really matter since it's their own grave they're digging.

I whole heartily agree with test, i like to give everyone a chance and its clear to see this guy is trying to improve.

Now there's a bunch of artists out there who have their own styles, who don't have realist shapes and sizes... just take this for example.

The wrists are thicker then the hands, and the features are over animated and different, but it works because everything is constant and looks in place. of course this is this persons unique style (and very hard to replicate I found). But new artists need to understand that others normally find misshaped or misaligned forms wrong and detracts from the picture UNLESS the whole image is like that, in that case the picture makes sense as its MENT to be like that, so it doesn't look wrong.

merry new happy easter day!

and so... with nearly 7 years, 7 months and 7 days of been on newgrounds... i get to the level i always dreamed off

Ok lets start again... i dont know if this is the finish result you are going for... so i will try my best :3

Left picture <- Quick sketch
Middle picture - Added details and light
Right picture -> what you did

you need to work on the form a lot more. unless your going for an extreme style where the figure is elongated or styled such as cartoonists or figurative drawings. you need to keep everything realistic as possible... of course you dont need to be spot on but the closer it is the less strange it will look.

a quick overview is that the waist is far to thin and too high up, the arms are out of proportion and the head is too big along with the breasts which are like bowling balls. there's a lot of things wrong with it. its all very fun to color things in and make it pretty. but without the core work done your just going to be coloring a broken picture.

try to get some ground work sketches down before developing the picture and wasting time.

i'm not going to patronize you and say this is good. it isn't.

so we have some options, you can take on board what people are saying and improve and become a better artist over time. these things dont happen over night.
you can ignore what we are saying and develop on your own which may take longer but develop by yourself.
or you can just treat this as a fun activity and not take it anywhere further.

i however do look forward to watching you improve if you choose either of the first two.

happy drawing.

just throwing it out there

Friend requests you say?... sure why not...

Lets be friends

lets set the bar somewhere...

Where do i sign to give you all my worldly possessions for viewing such artwork?

yeah i think its because im not viewing the images at 100% when i print screen them.

anyway, its been a long time. i did a doodle and colored it in a bit.

needs more hair and refining, but i think its a good start.

Had a go at Ephyse's style. its a lot harder then i thought, still doesn't look right too me...
i found my own knowledge and style crept into it as well. but i'm happy with it.
