will post what I'm working with when I get some more done, looking much better now though

gonna overhaul this, the wolf and the trees, gonna start fresh

I'm not coloring this, just shading it.

starting the shading...

hahaha.... cmon guys, it's not finished yet, I know it looks a little weird right now, It will all make more sense once it's done.

hahaha, THANKS FOR THE FEEBACK EVERYONE...and yes... its a "butterfry." My little red riding hood pic is unfinished, it's just the lines right now, and soe of the shading on the trees. I don't know what the fuck kinda trees I made dude, I just drew it how I see it in my head, you know?

Oh you know.. Only the fact that it's scary.

I've never really done that, mostly because I don't really see what you're talking about. No offense to you, but Henry's made more sense to me..

He means the lines that are in place around the head, setting up where the eyes, mouth and nose are positioned. Here's an example

He didn't ask a question, he was being a dick. I'm trying to help someone out and both of you are acting like immature assholes dude. I obviously didn't draw out a portrait in 5 seconds, I did this as a quick way to outline my critique of her face, because I have had the same problems before. Seriously dude, don't fuck this thread up, just stop while your ahead.

the same reason you didn't, because it looks sloppy and doesn't really show the features of the face I was explaining, I just did a quick red line to show what I was talking about. Good job on being an asshole though.

Don't let that get you down, originality is what it's all about, without it you will only make it but so far.

Haha, you win some, you lose some, believe me, I didn't win them all. I'll keep an eye out for your painting, and remember, practice makes perfect

"Dude, If you will it, it is no dream."

no problem, I'm glad to help a fellow artist, try sketching out your ideas really rough and light on paper to get the proportions just right, and then go back and add all the details. When I was in highschool, all I did was draw portraits of people, some of which I won awards for. When I first started I use to do the same thing, I think you tend to focus on one small portion of the face and get really detailed, and then you lose sight of the proportions, sometimes you need to just step back and look at the piece as a whole.

this should explain what I was babbling about...

The eyes aren't bad, the placement of them is just a bit off, they need to be slightly closer together. the lips are a little over shaded, and are too pursed in comparison to the picture, they should be a little more relaxed and not curved upwards as much. The cheeks are shaded in such a way they look really rounded, you should reduce the darkness of the shading around the eyes and mouth, and it will look more uniform . The nose is too flat at the bottom, it needs to be more rounded and slightly longer to accommodate the angle of your face. Hold up ill post a red line to show you what I'm talking about with the proportions

but the arts not bad but can do with improvment, your learning value which is good from majority of what i can tell in the two pieces
but work on the way you talk, whether you are intending to or not you really sound horribly full of yourself.

I think she was pretty much looking for an outside opinion and a proper critique, rather than "whoa, that's gnarly dude."

a WIP is a "Work In Progress," the shading and lighting looks on point, the proportions are a little off and the placement of the eyes from what I can tell without seeing the picture myself. Keep working on it, and post it again once you've completed more work on it

that would be awesome, post your WIP and people can give you feedback on how to improve it

It wasn't you per se, haha. I scouted a lot of artists that I thought had potential, unfortunately some of them were not deemed worthy for the art portal. I would love to see the line art for the noob saibot once you have completed. I would still submit the Lion to the art portal, it'll help you get scouted, and more people will give you feedback on your work.

I'm sorry for getting your hopes up, you need to submit this lion, and the picture of noob saibot you painted to the art portal so people can see it. Don't worry, after that Lion you just posted, you'll be scouted soon enough. Keep up the good work

I tried to scout you before, but my scouting ability was taken away because of it, TURKEY, SEE DUDE!! I knew you were a good artist, was waiting for you to post something exceptional.
