Try doing an angle as opposed to just a straight shot. It may seem harder, but it'll pay off if you can pull it off. It looks a bit flat head on.

Gettin better. But still you can tell you are doing it from how you assume it would look rather than if you knew what it was like - look at the ears position. Have a go at doing a really smudged, rough, scribbled on picture of a girl and try and get it bang on.

And i really suck at drawing cartoony stuff. We all have our strong points i guess.

I like to do really basic poses for when i am practicing, as apposed to an actual finished peiuve of art. i guess being more dynamic and showing more emotion and style would not hurt....baby steps.

I think i got the eyes in the middle of the head this time around, and the nose not so long. But those damn ears. > : (

I really do have to look at examples. I rarely ever do. Thanks for the tip.

Well I could try to help.. When drawing a female head you wanna have smooth curves, no pointy edges like a man can have, but I think you got that right. Once you got the head's shape, cut it in half to place the eyes right in the middle (you got that right too). Now divide the bottom part of the head in three, and place the tip of the nose at 1/3. The ears will be placed between that tip and the eyelid. The mouth should be placed around 2/3 and the chin at 3/3. The rest is how you like it to give personality to your characters!

I should have made a rough draft but I'm too lazy.

It looks cutesy, for an ugly monster :). Honestly though, I don't know what to comment, it just looks... Good. It's a cool and simple style, yet it also has quite a lot of details in it with the shadowing and highlighting, which gives it a sort of unique style. I like it!

also, wb.

Somthing I did for a Fan-Art contest a while back, also because i wanted to try tracing a screenshot.

So, click here, as the image is too big to upload.

Also, if you want to see some of the hand-drawn stuff I have done recently, visit this thread.

Any comments?

I don't know if you got me, but this an article i wrote an designed :P. I probably made a few mistakes, since fireworks doesn't have a spellchecker and lags like crap when you try to write.

i made a thread of this on the Art forums, but I guess this is a better place to post my art for an upcoming Flash. I didn't know about this place D:

Well I'm working on a hand drawn, frame by frame, traditional animation, of Zelda.

I'm no good at voices, or storylines either, so I'm just gonna be making a battle scene of Link vs. Ganondorf.

I sketched up what Ganondorf would look like, i had no refrence while drawinig it, so he may look odd. But yeah i'll be drawing link soon, and of course begin animating. :D hope you like it~

Hmm... cool looking Gannondorf you have there. If I were to make a suggestion, I'd tell you to simplify, simplify, simplify. Frame by frame animation takes a lot of skill and patience, if your character is too detailed you will most likely burn yourself out very early on. You'll be one person trying to create what it normally takes a studio to do.

Good luck. =]

This is a bit of a mess about for the background of a game myself and Coaly are making at the mo. This hasnt come out how I wanted (even for a test) but I think it could be leading on to somethin.

Boxkitten - nice drawing style ya got there, same style you're using for the new One O'clock Jump collab? Even if you're not, i'm liking the whole messy-but-nice look you've got going.

J-D-S - Wow. That's some really nice lighting/texture you've got for the skin. The pants and shirt(ish) thing you made actually look really good as well. How much have you got left to do until you're 'done' with it? Doesn't look like you have a whole lot left, nice job.

hehe thanks. I still have a lot of refining to do on the feet, hands, ears, and basic forms. I also want to have a more dramatic pose, and sexier clothes, I don't think I'll ever finish :)

Wow, cool. Never done 3D art on a computer before, I imagine it's quite time intensive.
The only gripe I have with the girl is; you see too much skull. I'd bring the hair line forward a bit so her forehead doesn't look abnormally large.

Otherwise; excellent. =]

Mogly: That building looks pretty good. I saw the soldier sprites on your site a while back, and they're looking very nice as well.

Boxkitten: Ha, nice saying. Very nice picture as well. I especially like the lighting on it.

J-D-S: Looks awesome. I'd like to try my hand at 3D one day, but stuff like that makes me think it'll be pretty hard (which it probably is)

As for a picture myself, here's something my sister wanted to see drawn, so I whipped it up at like 2:30AM last night. Zombie raccoon, basically.

I tried to make a snazzy looking picture of my sister. It's not really done the original picture justice so I shall have another go at some point.

If I had to say it was about something.. it'd be - since the smoking ban has come in, how it now reeks of sweat & booze in clubs now ~ as opposed to the smell of fag ash covering it up :)
