Get someone to get nude for you and carefully draw how they look. It should help you out a bit.

I know it sounds perverted but that's not what im trying to get at, its that once you start eyeballing them and drawing them, you'll notice how things "flow" and what is proportionate to what. It helped me at least.

Drawing #3
this is a tracing of my hand and then adding the utensils that most artist would use.

Hey, I think you're still not in the right track. The pictures you've showed so far demonstrate that you're still in that infant stage of "expressing" than showing. There's nothing wrong with that, but I believe that you're capable of really exercising your brain and drawing what you see, making conscious decisions and adjustments to make your drawing match real life.

Rather than tracing your hand, DRAW your hand. Like how I just did in the picture below. Now do this multiple times with different hand poses, then maybe move on to other parts of the body.

Draw what you see.

Stop trolling.

The last pic you posted was obviously a turkey hand.

Not necessarily. It depends what usage of the word 'effects' you're using.

Because what happens in the past does indeed bring about the future.

Not bad, you're certainly getting better.
And just as a word of advice, you might wanna take down the yin-yang drawing you submitted. When people see it they'll probably get the hopefully wrong impression that you can't draw a circle. Not to mention it isn't really original. No offense.

Aigis and bigjohnny, you're both nitwits.

poester, do you happen to have anything other than scribbles like actual fleshed out drawings, not on lined paper? It's a bit difficult to critique quick sketches.

Jonny's right. End of discussion.

I've clipped away the posts that worry about grammar, so that the focus is on critiquing art.

It was my love of grammar that effected my dumb argument.

My advice to the artist is just to spend more time on your works. From what I can tell it seems almost everything you've drawn would have taken less than ten minutes to draw. Or at least they look like they did.

If you're wanting actual critique you should show us what you're actually capable of when trying your hardest. Then we'll know where you're at and what you need to improve on.

Alright thank you everyone
