You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I've looked through you'r art and its all good. You should be happy with it. You'r certainly better then me.

You should be happy with it. You'r certainly better then me.

though its a bit late, i hope it might help for your "antomy issues"

(this was for your unfinished guy on the other page :))
constructively, i can notice (you can too probably) the out of proportion-ness
thats why you asked for help after all; SO:
when u are drawing a human, the legs are always longer than the torso
ALWAYS!!!!
unless you got some dwarvism shit going on
but then we call them oompa loompas
the torso should be.... 2/3s the size of the legs (maybe 3/4, but whatever, i stick with 2/3)
then, when you draw the arms, use yourself as a reference
when you hang your arms down, they reach past your groin (so you can fapfapfap) to about midway between your pelvis and your knee
also, i know youve been looking at skeleton references, but look at muscle refs too!
its very important to know the ripples and flat sections of the body
:DDDDD

and kakashi, yeah i think iv fixed my anatomy issues now, but thanks for that

dude, I love your artwork! It may just be me, but I don't really see the anatomical errors until you point them out or whatever. I've had a quick scan through your stuff and I think it's cool. I love that doodle you did in college.

doodles own. they are the doors to MASTERPIECES.

You, my friend, are an AWESOME artist. Don't beat yourself up (: Even if you want to get better than you are, be positive. Yayyyyyyy. xD

[/too much pep]

your drawings are coooool

You might wanna shade each rock individually. At the moment, it looks like it's just one big piece as oppose to multiple small pieces.

the rocks are smooth and all look like one giant pillar with some cracks in it rather than a natural formation of rocks

Don't mean to echo, but yes, the rocks need improvement.
You should work a little bit with where the water falls into. It looks like the lake is going uphill, and the sand also looks like it goes up hill and turning into grass. For now all the hill looks like is a hill with odd color variations.

i gave it a curve, kinda like a fisheye lens, its all for effect, dont worry about it, and for first time doing painting like this i think i did quite well, now i see what people mean about the forum focusing on the negative :P
