After many, many years I have managed to throw something together again and uploaded it to Newgrounds.

Why ULTIMATE Drawin Lesson? Because it is likely to catch your attention! As I explain in the lesson itself, I am no professional, but I have been drawing for many years now, and slowly progressing in skill myself, even from when I started the tutorial, and until today when I am finished with it, I have had massive progress. Why am I saying this? Because practice makes perfect, and I suggest everyone who wants to learn to draw properly do practice.

Lastly, I hope that my tutorial will help you, if I have explained anything badly, or you don't understand anything, do not hesitate to ask in a review and I will most likely answer. If there are more experienced artists who watches this, please, if there is anything that you find is down right terrible, be constructive.

That's it for me, cheers,
Lars

"Oh man that face..."

date: June 24, 2008

is disgusting. Pretty decent music and background, but you're putting details that are one not needed and two the choice in proportions just does not work. At step 4 you were good, at step five you beat her face in with a garbage lid and filled it with waste. Then you added the spinecrawling eyebrows, a huge neck (a man's neck), and she looks like one of those people at diners that you know have seen a rough ass time in their life. She looks like some trashy excuse for a life that gets by on very little as she watches reruns and talk shows as she sits down to eat her ice cream straight from the container.

My advice: with flash, convey realism, don't try to make it so. Flash is meant for clean lines and you're overdoing realism. It's like if you draw someone with pencil and paper and you include EVERYTHING it makes them look old and ugly. That is precisely what you've done here. You've goen too far and make me want to puke. Go from step for and include one shade of shadow or many consecutive layers CREATIVELY placed. Not how they are in real life, but how you want to CONVEY realism. The only flaw you have is you have realistic shading without realistic proportions OR colors. And of course it's too detailed, in all the wrong ways.

I do agree that the face doesn't look that good. It wouldn't make me puke though, but I see what you mean. I think I'll go with pencil art next time I do a tutorial, thanks for the harsh, but constructive criticism!

"Good tutorial"

date: June 23, 2008

Only problem I had with it was that the music didn't loop. It left about the last half of the tutorial empty with silence. Besides that, good job. Maybe Shorten some sentences, a few seemed to run on a while, but overall, good.

Sorry about that, didn't even realize I forgot to loop it.

"Pretty Good"

The drawing was well done; the final result wasn't the best though. In my opinion you could have had a better character. Great tutorial though.

"This is great!"

date: June 23, 2008

Never thought I'd actually see a tutorial on NG, so this is a first!
I hope it makes the front page. :)
Oh, a little tip, instead of using computer art for a drawing tutorial, use your own images instead. :)

Thanks for the tip, I most likely will.
