The Drawing Board

RedFox5 · Posted: Sun Oct 29, 2006 12:31 pm Post subject: FINALLY!!!!

I finally got my scanner to work, and scanned a few of my sketches. Sorry about the grey-ish paper, but I had to turn the contrast way up to compensate for the lightness of the sketches. Well... here they are.

What do you think?

What do you not like about them? I think they're fine, considering I only draw in my spare time and I'm self-taught.

Mod note: Liggs, this is your final warning about the constructive critisizim thing. It's really getting on my nerves. Did you even read the damn rules?

Okay, well,

For the first one: It's pretty good, with the exception that the proportion of the leg below the knee doesn't look right, and the right heel doesn't seem real.

For the second: I just don't like the armpits. A human's arms are not attached to the torso like that, they're very tightly fit.

For the third: Nothing really. This is a good pic.

For the fourth: The arm that is streched horizontally is too short, and the way you drew how the legs join is flat. In the pose he's in, the vertical leg would overlap the streched out one by just a little.

For the fifth: This is pretty good. actually. You could improve the nose a little, but it isn't bad at all the way it is.

Also, just so you know, I also am not too good at drawing by hand, and I have to tell you, I'm facing similiar problems: getting proprotions right, getting body part joints to look correctly, and the solution, as far as I can tell, is to just keep practicing, doodling, drawing over parts that dont look right.

Anwho, that's about it...

1- Yeah, I noticed the leg thing afterwards, and I was too lazy to redraw the whole leg.
2- That one was just a quick doodle. The Itailian disguised as an American!
3- Wow, that was actually one of my least favorite. It was way too light, and the eyes seemed weird. But thanks.
4- The horizontal arm was supposed to go back, then come forwards. I drew the hand wrong, so it looked too short. And yeah, you're right about the legs.
5- This one was supposed to be a scanner test. I did like it. Originally, it had really short, buzz-cut hair, but when I drew it, it looked terrible. I had to change it.
