Her arm is terribly proportioned. It's way too short between her shoulder and her elbow.

Hmm, the eyes are reallllly big, I guess the main thing to work on would be your anatomy, thats whats really standing out.

and with a screen name like yours, i didnt expect anime, lol

yes indeed, normally thats what makes you better, but you should also have something to compare it to, so say if your doing a drawing of a girl standing, get a picture of almost the same thing off the interwebs to reference, or maybe have one of your friends pose for you. There are also various anatomy sites and such to help.

Indeed all great ideas :) Thank you :D

haha some random stuff I drew on a practice test I was suppose to be doing in AP Chemistry my senior year :P

Old art <3

Who doesent draw on practice exams? I know i do.
OK. Now in this one you seem to have some of the hands down, preferably the top one and the bottom fist, there both looking pretty good. The ones in the middle need some fixing, but not too much, theres a few things that could be a bit longer and repositioned. Oh, and fingers never have the little O swirl in them, it was acceptable for cartoons but it looks like you were trying to draw quite realistically. The arm that is connected to the body, the one of the limbs looks like it should be extended a bit more (the one closest to the body, the bicep i believe.... idk the names lol) Other than that the arm is looking ok. The body itself, we got some oddly flat and pointy tits on her, and her body is going in a downward V in size. Hips are too small for the size of the shoulder, random creases on the side, at which i thought were abs at first. The head is too small too, The face is about as wide as the arm is, and thats a problem...

The next one is quite old, but i will break it apart anyways
her head is quite big, along with her eyes for the size of the body. Her tits are lopsided and i really have to stare at it for a minute to tell shes in a fighting position, instead of having massive body deformation. Sometimes a background, not even, just a ground of some sore could help sort this out, and there really should be some more shading, because i see just random shading on there.

Thank you snowman for taking the time to give me all these tips :D You really are a huuuge help!! :) Thanks :3

soooo my laptop just died on me so I woulnt be able to upload any more pics for a little while.... unless I can find them on my grandparents computer (which I doubt)... buuut u guys can still comment on the pics I do have up!!! Hopefully I can get my laptop fixed soon :/

Very good, the first one is defiantly the best and as you go down the thread you can see how you've improved, can you draw some fresh art for the thread?

yaa definately... i'm actually in the process right now.. the only thing is my laptop just broke so I have no way to scan them in and upload them :/ I'll see if i can figure something out tho :D

sooo I have no way to scan my new art into my grandparents computer... but I can still post some of my older works :D enjoy :)

This drawing was an avi art for a friend from another website.... errrr inside joke btw :D

ok the story behind this one is shes suppose to be laying down and we're suppose to be looking from above her... idk the best way to illustrate this though... I was thinking a background, say a bed or something... what do u guys think?

A girl playing a bass!! :D old... :/

Yaaaay!! Got the scanner working at my house!!! Too bad we only have dialup... :( anyways heres some new art :) Just drew it tonight actually :D Its a drawing of my friend :) Enjoy!!

Sorry I havent posted anything in a while... I've been really busy with my new job and school >.< I promise I'll get some new stuff up soon :D

I dont know why everyone starts off drawing anime style stuff, art should give you incentive to be different. Every kid who thought they were the best artist drew anime, I than drew them getting fucked be Goku.

It's popular and people like it, and it's a simple style to duplicate.

Anyway, I don't know how you draw, so I can't give proper criticism. If you weren't a bad sketcher like I am and had some traces of sketch lines, I'd know, but I don't. Mind telling me how you draw?

Some of these are really great, but I think the anime-style faces are far overdone in general, and very rarely done well. I think either developing your own kind of face (probably some amalgamation of other styles) would do a lot to improve the look of your art. Also, definitely opt for a good amount of definition in the hair, because a single block of hair rarely looks good.

Other than that, you have a good grasp on proportion and cloth stuff. Keep it up.

Its usually right out of my head without a refrence >.< I usually draw lightly at first untill I can get everything how I want it then draw darker over it, and then shade.

Thank you definately worth noting lol... I have been just recently trying to experiment with different styles for faces and eyes but havent really come up with one I like... hmmm guess I'll keep trying then :D thanks so much for the input :3
