I'm open for any tips or pointers. I'm just starting out so go easy on meh.

Did this for Chow 39

I was kinda trippin' at the moment

What program do you make pictures in? Just curious.
I think the art is nice for a start to an art thread.

I'm using Corel Painter Essentials 4...It's a program that came with my tablet.

Not bad.. i got the same program with my tablet. ive been using corel sketchbook express, that also came with it.
Im still not confident enough yet to color any of my sketches, but you seem to be ok at it.
I use to struggle alot with human anatomy, but ive been getting better.
Keep drawing and and the technique will eventually take care of itself.

I think this is hilarious.

I like the color choices you make. You could use some help with anatomy and composition (but most of us can as well). Keep practicing and you will always be improving.

Thanks for all the good feed back...I'll try and keep them coming as I draw them

I did this picture for the Sonic Art Collab and I think I did pretty good...Makes me proud.

After a power failure I lost a picture I was working on for about 4 hours....So I drew this and it turned out better than I thought...but there is always room for improvement.

Half Man Half Bear...All we need is some Pig

Any comments or critiquing?

Someone give me an idea or character and I will create you a picture.

haha yeah on my program it's burn and dodge....but I know what you mean...I'm slowly getting things to look better and Chow 39 has been one of my strongest pieces so far....I did it in like 40 mins.

I don't like the blur tool either really. It's messy and obvious. A brush tool with lowered fill or opacity can give you the same effect in a more graceful manner. I use colour dodge regularly actually, but in the layer settings not the actual dodge tool. Although I did use the dodge tool in my bioshock pic also. I think it can be useful very useful for adding lighting effects and such, but not as your main tool for shading and highlights.

nice, but it looks like your guy is'nt stepping on anything. Try not to cover too much of the streets, otherwise it looks like he's floating.

I never noticed that...Any really the only excuse is that I was going for speed on this drawing and kinda just throwing things together in a timely manner.

It's overused is what I'm saying lol
it looks all smudged up. You always want your color to be as crisp as possible :)
