MurphysFlaw's art!

[MurphysFlaw]

Hello newgrounds folk.

I have been a long time newsgrounds lurker, but have yet to make an account until just recently. I have loved looking at all of your guy's awesome art but have been too hesitant to post any of my own until now. I am trying to get back into drawing/art after a somewhat long un-artistic year or so of my art. I have a long way to go as far as where I want to be as an artist, so would LOVE, some feedback/advice if you have any for me.

Anyways... here are some of my drawings/sketches! Thanks for looking.

This is an older sketch of my character Old-Man-Greg, plan on re-drawing/changing some proportions to be more realistic, any suggestions?

I am still working on my anatomy/foreshortening, so my hands always look a bit "off" so any tips would be appreciated!

Well, it's hard to judge on the anatomy of an alien life form but maybe show some more palm on the right hand (it's left hand), it looks like his fingers are coming out of his wrist.

All of these look really good though :D . I definitely like the cigarettes on the first one.
Keep up the good work :)

Thanks MrFap! :D

Also here is another drawing/wood carving thing I started working on.. I have no idea really what I was trying to achieve and haven't decided what to do with his Right hand, either just hanging there, or in his pocket, not sure yet.

That's pretty cool.
Was the gun head drawn from a reference? Because that looks amazingly accurate!

Thanks big-jonny! means alot!

As far as reference, I found a few images of revolvers off google, but couldn't find the exact angle I was looking for, so I drew the gun's perspective and design I drew partially just from imagination. Im still working on perspective drawings, and making things look right, So i'm glad you think it looks accurate! :D

Here is another doodle I made, the hand might look a little weird, but I was going for kinda a "surreal/stylized" look. Not sure if I pushed it too far, but i'm somewhat happy how it is coming along.

As you can tell, i'm not particularly good at actually FINISHING drawings, 90% of my drawings remain unfinished... Something i'm still working on. It just seems like half way through my drawings I get another Idea which at the time seems cooler than my current drawing. :P
