What can i do to make this better?lol Tips? I just started drawing again. ANd i want some tips.

Give him more height. His back is about the same length as his legs, unless that was intentional, disregard anything I said.

His arms look to long, they're look like the same length as the legs, also add some details to his face.

head is really small

detail the hands more

His left arm looks too big. Legs needs to be a bit longer.

good shading but you might wanna add more value to the whole thing as to distinguish dark to light etc. the body is deformed too; the left arm looks awfully big unless it is an "abstract" anime, then, its pretty good. lol

I don't think so.....his clothes look really flowy so I think that's what's misleading.... but people are about "7 heads high" and it looks like it's the case.

it's good.

only thing you might want to change is the size of his torso.

Thanks everybody. yeah i was trying to make his karate gi kinda flowing through the air.

here's something if not late yet... Photoshop it to give more mythical look

What do you mean by mythical?

needs a girl sucking his c@ck

WOW,although your banner scares me.very nice pencil shading

It's very good already.

Draw from real life, a lot of people are against "copying" but it will help you to understand human proportions far better than anything you can pull from your head.

If you want a cleaner look overall, shade in small lines, not in masses. I usually shade with black pilot pens to prevent smudging.
I don't draw anime, so the first thing I noticed was that everything is outlined. This could just be your style ( so feel free to ignore this comment), use shading to define shapes not outlines.

If you are brave enough, draw bigger. Drawing bigger always forces you to look into very small details, and it is harder on a bigger picture to hide faults. I like drawing on 18''x24'' paper, or 11''x15''.

Take an art class, I spent years just learning to draw 3D shapes and still life, you might not thinks it relates to drawing people, but art is about the eyes not the hand.

Anyway, I could blab on forever, so i shall stop myself here...

the things i noticed were his shoulder and upper arm are out of proportion so are his feet and alos his front leg is to long

his head is a bit to small

you just need to re adjust the proportion

you have skills mate

naw, keep going. I like your tips. I kinda see where you are going with this. I think im gonna draw bigger, so i can focus on the small details of my drawing.

You should post more of your artwork! I think lots of people love art critiques, and it would be really cool if everyone posted their art work.

Art crits. are usually a very quiet thing where no one really talks. haha. At least it is for me.

I can relate

- The edges of shapes are simply gradual progression of surfaces which are skewed by perspective. Hence the technique of "outlining" when you are doing shading will lack depth and substance.

- Every stroke you make should define a strip of surface. The accumulation of these many strokes should resemble a mature 3D object.

- Maintain a strong sense of physical depth (eg parts that appear slightly in front, or fading back) in the whole picture.

- Be clear about each stroke when shading. The key in shading is NOT to colour a region. Instead, it is to provide an accumulation of SURFACES depicted by very clear cut STROKES.

more @$$?

i mean... it's hard to explain~ what Mythical word reminds me is visual effects of movie '300'... got it? lol..
i'm leaving you an example

i made that [ Still working in it.... ]

It's really amazing. I have a friend who would love your art. Ah you guys draw so similar.
I love the parts where the you see the black under the red.

What media is it? Black Pen? red India ink?

You know how the guy is shaded in vertical lines? Did you purposely do that? If you did, it adds to the drowning anguish effect so well...

wow thats nice!!!


anyways, I did this in my art class 2 years ago. The left eye is kinda smaller than the right. . ITs charcoal. Im still practicing. Any tips for using charcoal?

Thanks, Apperciate it
well... actually,

picture i sketched was something like that (black/white) i photoshopped it to give mythical look it's a working progress you'll notice hell lotta blemishes that i'm trying to wash out....

it took me months to work with the matching colours..oh yes, vertical line well yea kinda but that's not my talent it just came output like that... i didn't planned anything...


Thx again
Come on it's not that bad~2 years ago??? i bet you're far better than me now, i ain't good trust me you're asking for tips?? you gotta be kidding, the pic i showed you i tried to depict feelings of loner so i guess what my suggesation gonna be is make sure you have some kind of theme or background when you're sketching ... that's all what i've got

I hate charcoal with a passion. I hate ink too, but not using it, but cleaning it off my hands.

Ditto.

The best advice I can give you is not draw from pictures, draw from life ask a friend to pose for you. Trying to draw from a 2dimensional picture will result in an even flatter copy, and why would you want to copy someone else anyway.

This was just to get my feet wet into drawing. But i do see what you are talking about. Ill try real life objects.

Great advice. Go to those life drawing classes, they're very useful.
