Sketches of mine.

[HexAlpha]

Hey, i will be uploading some sketches for criticism (i wrote that alright?), feel free to make any comment aside that they're in very sketchy state.

More sketches in the future, i have a couple more in my PC but they're not exactly original works (i drew them myself, but they aren't originals, get what i mean?) so i don't think i will be showing those unless requested to, then I'll gladly do so.

If you got stuff you made, go ahead and post it. It will show us what ever skills you have.
AS for this first one, my initial thoughts were"What the hell is this?" quickly followed by, "Ohit's a hand holding a dagger, but isn't it upside down?" and then I realized "No, that is the way it is suppose to be, but it does look off."

What that meant was that the picture is confusing. I'm not going to rag on the graph paper too much since it is a decent resource from time to time. But you have these random lines around the elbow that goes to the edge of the paper. They just seem like they were kind of just thrown in there as a last ditch effort for some sort of background or something.
I would like to see more though. Hopefully you have some more clear stuff,

Yes it is indeed quite a sloppy one, it is in fact almost ancient haha, unfortunately for me I can't say I've improved since I gave up on drawing until last week when i started getting the hang and like of it again.

Here's another one, still on that paper, it's virtually the only paper I've ever did things on.

Don't give up drawing! It takes a lot of practice to be a great artist!

Do you sketch in pen? I wouldn't recommend drawing completely in pen, since you obviously can't erase- and then you have to cover for any mistakes and then ugh... you could sketch everything in pencil first then outline and shade in pen at the end. But it looks a lot better than the top one anyways.

Please upload more! :D

Actually i do sketch in pencil first, it's just that sometimes i forget about it, i got the pen in my hand and well, i start drawing with it sorta forgetting about using the pencil first.

And since you ask, i will upload another, this one's in pencil and the original is actually from Ciruelo Cabral (I have a fixation with that guy, i love his works)

It's a dragon just being itself over a cliff.

I'd recommend not smudging because it's really obvious and also looks kinda lazy; physically shading looks much better and you can add/use texture rather than giving everything a smooth surface

Would you hook me up with an example of what physically shading is? i think i figured it out but i'm not entirely sure what you mean, thanks!

Your sketches are awesome, Hex!
I would like to ask a question from you.
Could you post one picture with colors in here?
I mean, do you usually colour your jobs, or do you keep them black'and'white?

I just wanted to ask that from you.
Excellent creations/sketches, really.

Thank you, glad you like them.

As for the color, I'm not a fan of coloring as I am pretty disastrous at it, however I have done a spawn drawing in color in the past, just let me find it and I'll upload it.
