Think a lot of us have issues drawing limbs; my issues are still with the face (eyes will continue to kill me) and drawing arms / hands. Also in other poses that are not just them standing around.

 

Egmo's sketches are cool though.

I can draw limbs, eyes, and capillaries. But poses is where I have trouble. Even with an image for reference. So while I may be fine drawing someone standing, I struggle putting them in action poses.

From the sketch part, I figured it intended to look like a beet or a carrot in shape, but circular looks good too.

The line-art has some rough edges, but is a lot more clean and symmetrical. I like how it's turning out xP

Loving how it's turning out. Great colors there. It does need more detail and some refining of a few things like the smoke and the back volcanoes, but I could see this just getting better from here on.

 

Wish I had more of a useful input to give xD
but yeah, I like it a lot.

Thank you. :)

 

Yeah I've been eyeballing dem smokers for awhile now. I am just experimenting with things out of sequence with gradients to imitate dropping values and such so I've found myself ignoring detail in the process of learning how I want to approach the lighting of the whole thing. Hell I mean how does one imagine lighting in the in the Mid-Ridges of the ocean? I eyed http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Superancient_Deepsea_King_Coelacanth to get some idea...

 

And no problem.. I am so hard of a critic on myself I tend to find answers to each individual problem eventually.

Wanted a new avatar, was unhappy with all of my christmas themed drawings, so just decided to digitize an old one. Also a good opportunity to practice shading and to mess around with effects until I broke the whole thing and added 10 more layers to cover up my mistakes.

[spoiler=Original]

Still looks flat, but w/e.

[spoiler=Optional Suggestions]

The arm at the foreground would need to be closer/bigger. It looks kind of smaller than the one on the back, and in the small avatar image it takes a bit of effort to notice it.

Though applying that change would mean it wouldn't be able to hold exactly the way it is right now.

It'd either keep the upper arm up to the elbow coming straight at us, but the fist would end up higher.

Or it could keep the fist where it is, but it'd have to lower the elbow.

Right now I think it is kind of fusing both of those poses together.

 

Also, the body doesn't look exactly turned in the same angle as the head. It is ever so slightly different enough for me to wonder if I'm the one imagining things, but I think if the body rotated a tiny itsy bitzy more, it'd be a change that'd work out.

 

The black outlines that separate both of the snake's colors would look a little better if done with a brush pen (that made them end in points instead of the line thickness following up until the end), but that's mostly nitpicks.

 

 

 

I think the head looks pretty good. I like how the highlight looks against the shaded area. 

Also, nice duel disk.

10 layers, Dova?! Depending on what program you use... What if I told you you could simplify your project with 5 less layers: 1 for line art, 1 for shading, 1 for lighting, 1 for background, and 1 left out for miscellaneous effects for say blending?

 

If you have Photoshop (this probably applies to the other programs as well) , I can tell you that there is a little simplification technique I like to use called Merge Layer (Ctrl + E). It basically makes the Layer you have selected become 1 with the Layer below it. For example, say you screwed up some where with the coloring, and you made Layer above the layer to correct some errors you've made. You can basically make your corrected layer Merged onto your layer of mistakes as though the mistake never happened. Additionally, you have less layers to look at and correct.

 

I know this may be hard to understand without applying it... So just try it with this project, but don't save it unless you want to.

Not 10 layers active at the same time :P Not that crazy. As in, I had to add 10 layers over my basic glow, shading, color outline in order to fix up mistakes I had made, and then merged them after fixing them.

Cri, thought I got perspective right.

 

Yeah, body issue was intentional, but it does look off now that you mention it.

 

Brush points. Yet another incentive to get a good imaging editor instead of pdn xd

 

Thanks for the comments!

Just some in-class doodles I did over the past semester. I did a lot more, but these four stand out as the ones I'm particularly most proud of.

 

The preface is that I decided to experiment on a much cartoonier style than usual, drawing inspiration from a game setting idea I've kinda toyed with my head for fun for quite some time. Said game idea won't go anywhere because I have no applicable skills to the game industry besides writing (rip), but the idea was fun to think about nonetheless.

the hair on the mage makes me, just frankly, really happy and satisfied to look at.

 

The tiny legs on the strong guy are very important.

 

 

[Sleepy]

I like how stylized those are, and yes the tiny legs are important to make the guy look bulky xD

As for me, I drew this the other day. It is quick fanart of a friend's OCs. They weren't exactly the fanciest drawings I've made, but it was entertaining xP

Definitely has that medieval RPG-esque character class feel to it... I am a sucker for these guys and their style. Only thing that stands out to me is that 3/4 them have the same cuffed boots, but honestly that is not really that big of a deal. I mean at least it makes sense visually on the rogue and the mage.

Been so long since I've been on. Didn't have a phone or laptop for awhile, but glad to see people still drawing things in the club!

Here's some stuff I've done recently.

These are all pretty cool. Freeza's fusion's face looks so weird xD

Welcome back!

I thought you had left the site because you hadn't been around since sometime in October. Glad to see you are still around xP

and yes, this is still alive lol. It has dead weeks but it is still going. 

I basically try to do the opposite of what I caused at Fuzzie's club ^^"

 

 

Here is a project I've spent a lot of time on awhile back and may revisit it again.

 

[spoiler=Esteam Roller]

 

 

It is basically suppose to be a steam roller with a monster face who crushes others esteem. Hence the word play of the title.

 

Lol dat pun.

It makes me wanna give it a Fusion form along the lines of:

I actually had to look up the reference to this... XD But, I suppose I could do that. Perhaps as a meme joke. XD Although I have to study on one of my least successful drawing subjects: a muscular man. >_>

The Dio part of it was mostly a joke xD

Don't worry about it.
