Um...Yeah, i'm new to forums so cute me some slack if I have trouble figuring these things out right away.
I'm a 16-year-old video game loving nerd who is trying to better my art skills, and deviantART really wasn't giving me any good critiques.
So...I thought I'd try this out :)
So where's the art?
came in expecting an attempt at art.
GIMMEH ART >:(
Images aren't posting from my computer or any of the URLs I try.. ._. this is why I avoided forums so long. Sorry, help please? (I know it's a bit sad)
Well I hope your dedicated because becoming a good artist takes a long long time unless you have a lot of innate skill. If you dont have that much innate skill then you gotta work for it...

Here's another try at realism, one of my zombie characters.

Sorry for the massive file size;;
Well i'm not a scene kid or anything. Just a character of mine^
I'd just like some critiques because I wasn't getting many on dA. ._.
looks fine to me, but the gauges make me want to bring a bat around his head a few times
For critic I will say work on the proportions more? It's really hard to say since your drawings are a mix of cartoons and realistic styles. You should post your art here [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1095246-Creative-Work-That-Doesn-t-Deserve-A-Thread/page57[/url] If you want critic.
Well.. as a character, he starts out as kind of a whiny, angsty, emo kid, which is why he ends up dead. My story isn't the greatest, but I like creating characters

also, thank you for the link to the thread. Still trying to get used to it here;

This is a much older picture, one of the first realisms I ever attempted (and it's hardly realistic at that)

at least you're not pretentious about your art
Your good atleast I think that.
I don't see the point in being pretentious about it. I mean, i'm an ok artist, but i'm really not exceptional or amazing.. I just do it because I like to, whether i'm good at it or not
With how the thread started out I must say I was pleasantly surprised when you posted your artwork. You should post the reference you used for your self portrait so we can do a better critique. On your zombie character the anatomy could use a little work at the base of the neck, it seems as if there is a large bump or something. Your style still seems to be developing, but I think if you keep working at it you could get really good at this.
I'll see if I can dig the original reference pic for the self portrait out of my files, but thank you :)
here we go,
Same Self-Portrait, but it's before I added the slight color fix. It has the original ref in the corner.

The colors look a bit different but that could just be personal choice of using a different color scheme. There is a bit of a point on the bottom of your chin that isn't there in the reference photo. And the shading around the mouth looks a bit to heavy, especially under the glasses and lips.
I hope this helps

In your selfportrait you should try and outline the skull - You'll see it's rather egg-shaped compared to your actual skull shape. You should also add some more meat to the headphones. A good idea would be to have a mirror and your headphones around as you draw. A picture is one thing, but it only gives you a one-lens dimension.
With a 3-dimensional figure (which you will see if you're not blind on one eye) you get a much better sense of depth in your character. (Fittingly, you wear 3-D glasses)
And trust me, it matters. A good art teacher can point out which images were made from real life references and which are from pictures.

in my opinion, the shading on the face is a little much. too dark
you ever thought about painting textures? With a bit more practice, it is conceivable that that is a way you could make a little money.
Get rid of your outlines.
Outlines are what make this less "realistic"
