Tiger head (pencil) - General

Just a drawing I did. [img]http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9824/tiger1.jpg[/img] Messed up the right side of his face, shouldn't have added the blob of shading. It makes it look out of proportion.

A little out of proportion but you messed up I guess. Very nice though.

looks like it has a mane like a lion.

Out of proportion, anatomical mistakes here and there and shading is pure boring. shade fur like you shade hair by hatching using each piece of hair.

Looks nice, but you need to practice more. It looks like you didn't start off by just getting the basic shapes correct first. That is pretty much the on only way to do this kind of art. Start with basic shapes, then go from there. The mane is pretty far off, as well as the face is too wide at parts, and also the overall shape is distorted. Good attempt, but just keep going and you will get better.

When you give CC you usually point out the good point and the bad point about something, and that's not your case. I've never seen anything from you and I bet you couldn't do something as half as good as this.

it's all right. Everything he said is true. I need to get some good shading pencils and look at some tutorials for fur.

It better serve you well.

Pretty good, but it looks really flat because everything is such a similar shade of grey. You could try going back over the drawing afterwards with a darker pencil (or pen) and highlighting the significant lines.

Here's a protip, kiddo: If you want someone to [B]listen[/B] to your criticism then don't forget to point out the good about what you're criticizing, or else most of them[I] (there are exceptions)[/I] will just ignore it, seeing as you just ignore the good part of their art. The way you criticize stuff is not the way criticism is meant to be, and don't tell me "I've been doing this for years dude", because it just doesn't work. You're not applying criticism properly, so before you say that if whoever ignores your "criticism", they can't take criticism accordingly, you'd be totally wrong. Sure, you have to be harsh most of the times in order to emphasize your criticism, but you can't forget to point out what's good about what you're criticizing. I've never seen a critic's work in which the author only rants about something, take movie reviews as an example.

It looks like you used the smudge tool on the areas (yes I am aware that this is IRL -> finger)

Criticizing criticism, never seen that before. Also, dragging your face across your drawing doesn't necessarily make it look better, just messy.

The line work and proportions are not bad, its just the shading which makes him look flat. Try not to make the lines too obvious, it removes a lot from the realism. I like the tiger's eyes though and i guess you just need better tools. here's a painting of the same tiger [IMG]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2009/346/c/0/tiger_by_LeeKelvin.jpg[/IMG] the very same tiger, not mine. Someone on my watch list

And my style of critique works quite well, thank you very much.
