indeed. i mean, the title will tart to make less and less sense, but thats okay.. lol. XD
so any ideas from you, becky?
Get yourself over to Artsy poses and have a go at sketching some of the kick ass model pictures they have over there. Whether you are a novice or an expert drawing from a good reference is always good practice and will get you used to drawing bodies more realistically and from that you can develop your own style and play around :3
OOOOOoooh~ I have never heard of that site...ill definitely check it out! thanks!
this is my half of an art trade i recently had with someone on deviantart. XD
Her knees seem off. And her posture looks unnatural like she is unbalanced ( I AM TERRIBLE FOR THAT so i feel your pain bro)
Also the creature in her arms needs to pop out more, at first glance i thought it was a bow. So add some more defining lines and shade and highlights. Apart from that it's a good start :3 I like it.

your outlines make her separate too much from the background. For a character design it looks alright, just the head is a little too big.

well, im glad those are the only negative points you gave. lol while they may seem like mistakes, the thick outer line art and stylistically large head are both intentional.
This is the actual color reduction monotype print that i made over the course of 3 days. I think i turned out pretty good and i like it quite a bit more than the digital design. what do you all think?
Hello friends and strangers! New art! Basically the digital version of a print that i will be producing this semester of school.

Try getting into the hair. Have more lines represent the body and flow.
I feel the the choice of colors are a bit questionable.
It's tough to bring pink and green together here. You need more white.
Personally I feel the grey for her helmet thing is a main trouble spot.
Try creating alternate color schemes that's usually the fun part of making images.

thank you for the critique.
my part of a totem pole collaboration i am participating in.
took someone's advice and stopped being afraid of anatomy. i know, i was lazy on some bits, but i really like the image overall. this is one of my characters, Elicka.
even though its hard to hear anything from anyone in this thread, im gonna post a quick sketch i did for another thread in the forum. lol.
quick sketch i did today of a character for a project. i swear im not dead!
getting better. i think you'll improve the more you step out of your comfort zone.

oh, for sure. i havent posted a whole lot, but there are a journey's worth of drawings and prints to prove that i am not afraid to just go for it.

First off this is incredible. The contrasting colors are just beautiful to look at. Adjust the photo a bit (straighten and crop) and put this in the art portal it deserves to be in there.
Anyway moving on to your more recent stuff. Your characters have really improved since the start of this thread, I particularly like the way you do noses. I think your most recent post shows a lot of potential and growth, it just needs some cleaning up in the linework and some light shading on the body and hair to really make her pop out. Also the expression seems a bit weird I don't know if you were going for shocked, scared or realdoll but right now her face is pretty deep in the uncanny valley, I'd say lower her eyelids a bit to give her a less odd look. But hey keep up the great work, I'm sure the future holds some amazing art for this thread.
it looks nice but her shoulders are wider than her hips which takes away from the female appearance...even if she is a flea :P

I think it might just be those Lady bugs that pretending be like shoulder pads ,either way it doesn't really take away from design. Why do you just want critique on your current work?
