I just drew this out of boredom dont really know what I was going for but I thought id give it a try with samus without her helmet on. Admittedly the outline of her face is something I found and decided to use but otherwise everything else is my own. Please let me know what you think and any friendly advice you have for me please could you give it to me
Thanks :)

The jaw shape and nose are a bit awkward. The pupil looks pretty large and you can't quite notice the highlights. I like the hair.

yeeaah i can see your point and il take that into account later. But thanks for giving me something you like about it as well :) im glad theres something about it you like

First things first; never make excuses. I've been critiquing and evaluating art for a while now and I can say for sure, cross my heart, that someone who makes any excuse about their presented art has not affected my opinion of the art itself one god damned bit and usually makes me think of them as a bit of a bitch. If you work your way out of the habit now it'll save you some embarrassment down the line.

Second up, you could really stand to improve everything and at your stage you're much better off really discovering that through practice then you are having it fed to you through words. As a beginner your ability to apply analytical judgement to your art is probably lacking.

Can point this out, though: right now you're drawing with symbols (ie. "this is what an eye looks like" "this is what a face looks like", etc). Best way to combat this and really improve your drawing ability is to cut right to the chase and draw from observation - that is, whipping out a pencil and paper and drawing people from life, deconstructing nature and learning to replicate that through imaginative drawing.

Any and all other GOOD tips for beginners are beautifully summarized in lovingthedark's post here. Go have a read through that and follow them, and trust me you'll learn a bloody lot. Best of luck.

Thats a fair comment and thanks for that. I can see where your coming from now that you say that, and thanks for the link il take a look :) also with this image i was trying to get it like not have a real life look if you know what i mean i was trying to make it kind of look like the toon link hence why i was looking at pictures of toon lin etc, then again that might be why its not looking too realistic but thanks for the advice etc :D

Thanks :)

Another scetch I done but of the master sword this time

hey zod, nice drawings you have there, i quite like the your perspective of your pictures and the colours and effects that you add to them. I personaly dont see too much wrong with your art, infact i cant realy think of any critsizms for it realy where they are quite well presented and done, nice work :). I was also wondering if you would have a look at my Picture? Im trying to get advice and thoughts from people on how to make my work better and looking at your art I would very much apreciate your advice and thoughts of my work.
Thans and nice job, il be looking more at your work, I quite like it :)

hey guys, would anyone be kind enough to review my recently uploaded picture I just done please? Also kensei if you could be kind enough to review my work again?
Thanks :) Here's the link

hey everyone, I just recently finished this scetch i done of toon link. Please feel free to leave a comment or CONSTRUCTIVE critisizms to both pictures. Thanks =)

yeah i did, i like it but as always there's room for improvment and i dont think its realy good, but good
Thanks for the comment nd viewing :)

thanks for that and i was intending doing it by hand :) but i can see where your coming from and i apreciate your advice. I do feel that it could be done better detail wise but then again i drew it by memory and not looking at something to give me direction
Thanks again for the advice again :)

I just recently drew this, i would like your opinions on it if you have any and please leave constructive critisizms. And for those of you who may not know its midna out of zelda-twilight princess. I was also thinking of doing a colourd version of this if anyone has any advice on how to do it well, advice would be very apreciated
Thanks :)

hey, heres something that i was thinking that would make a good scetch. I quickly drew it in about an hour so this is just an initial idea that I might make a proper scetch of. Any ideas on how i could improve it maybe.
Just bare in mind that it is only an initial idea and not a proper scetch, its an idea that I want to expand on :)

now that i see that it does look familiar but i didnt actualy mean to copy the image i think i just got the idea from it from a later date. I wasnt lying i was telling the truth please dont take it the wrong way. But yeah I see what your saying, i always try to get inspiration from looking at images and try to use different elements or features from them.
But tbh this is my first drawing to be fair and i can only improe on the advice youve given me so thanks for that =)

oh theres another image like this?? i didnt know haha i drew this free hand without looking at anything 0_o i dont mean to steal work otherwise i wouldnt of drew the image like that. Sorry to anyone who...yeah :)

ahh right yeah I get what your saying with my style, iv found that scetch work is the style that im best at and thanks for all of the advice. Il try and work on what you said about here beam cause i think thats a good idea. Maybe not at the viewer though as i think i wont be able to pull that off but maybe outside of the frame. Thanks again :)

hey, here is my first ever post on newgrounds and its my attempt at doing some artwork of samus. I would love to get others opinions on it. Thanks!!
