Quick sketch using a MapleStory-type style, testing both the outline and the smoothing.

The stick of dynamite looks pretty good for being done in paint, but the rest looks like absolute garbage.

dude, use the smooth tool.
thats what i always do.

Woah, I never really got what that did... lmao I'm an idiot.

I have no idea. I call it "adding thick lines to make the picture stop looking so sketchy." Usually, I'd just go over the lines again, to give them a finished edge, but this was just a sketch. Took around eight minutes; I definitely should have tried saving it as a GIF or saving a PNG and using a different program to convert it to a JPG, because the quality got fucked in half.

You can do anything to this picture no matter how sick or offensive it is.

I'm going to show the edited pictures to her at some time. <- LOL

What's her name? She looks a lot like someone who used to go to my school.

I've noticed that there are a lot of different styles for outlining pictures and I'm not really sure which is the "best" or even if there are different types that stand out amongst the rest. Personally, all I've ever done is just drawn black lines, but over the years I find that my outlines have gotten smaller and smaller.

So, I ask one question of you: How do you outline?

Image is just a 2-minute sketch of Sonic's head for an example of my outlining.

Some kinda visual activity in the background to give sense of space would be nice too, as well as maybe larger characters with shading etc. If you're going to reuse drawings at least put some more time into the drawing youre reusing. Its pretty funny though and has the potential to be good

The art of this was kind of rushed because I had already been drawing for a while and I was getting really tired of it. I'm trying to redo the characters completely now because I'm not overly fond of how they look.

I'm working on a character for my comic and I just can't seem to get the look I want. On the left is the old version, on the right is the new one. Could you guys tell me which one you like more and some ways to improve it?

Jesus Christ, why are his feet so damn long?

If I was on my computer, that would totally be my new background. Excellent work, I love the eerie feel to it.

A Series of Unfortunate Events. It's more of an homage than a "rip."

Just practice a bit. 2/10

Somebody's been watching American Idol reruns and sippin' on a little too much Haterade.

Habeeb it!

Seems like a nice site and I'm involved. Can't go wrong with me. ;)

The only difference is in the red circle on either side of her head.

The differences were the huge, ugly blotches where the darker red colors were in the JPG version.

Anytime. ;)

It sure as hell looks like it's trying to and failing miserably.

Ew, saving it as a JPG really ate the quality... here's from BMP to GIF, which looks a lot less atrocious.

I drew this awhile ago in MSPaint for my girlfriend. It was kind of like an artist rendition of her... except with spikey red hair. Anyway, tell me what you think.

I think it looks pretty damn stupid. The two styles don't go well together.

The pipe looks alright, but it doesn't exactly look 3D or anything. It's nothing to write home about.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, guys. Anybody else?

It looks really nice, pretty damn professional too.

I think it's a cool idea, personally, and the girl and the guy with the bald head don't look all that bad.

Haha, ironically I was playing a lot of MapleStory earlier today. I was trying a new style; it might be subconsciously influenced by MapleStory or something.

It's about a very vague online company. The guy with the glasses is Milan and the guy with the hat is Robert. They're both co-owners of it.

Just a quick sketch.
