That's crazy good
[QUOTE=BISCUIT_TINS;35003970]Finished it [t]http://i.imgur.com/UmMxk.jpg[/t] I'm feeling for doing a Christopher Walken later on today.[/QUOTE] Oh come on. That deserves a fucking thread. Especially if you are making more.
Might have posted this one before (?) [IMG]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/065/3/7/quiet_places_no__5_by_zacharyhogan-d4rw6f0.jpg[/IMG] [url]www.quietplacescomic.com[/url]

[QUOTE=Anax;35003228]another quick one [img]http://i.imgur.com/JfCOh.png[/img][/QUOTE] If you made the background brighter it could pop out the character a bit more and make it so the highlights and strong shadows makes more sense. He's generally pretty dark, but so is the background which doesn't make sense since he's got clearly defined highlights. Objects faced with a bright background usually becomes really dark in order to not over-expose the whole background into pure white, that's what our eyes are expecting to see from those highlights and shadows.

His face looks really asymmetrical because of the shading - I wanna go into detail but I think putting a line through the middle of his face or flipping it around will make you see the problem - Mainly around the nose, lips and chin.

I don't know where I went wrong with this pose but it feels wrong to me. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/r0P7qA.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=nox;35005952]I don't know where I went wrong with this pose but it feels wrong to me. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/r0P7qA.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Looks like you shaded the muscle in his forearm wrong, so it appears to be the inside of his arm, creating a sort of optical illusion of his left arm being backwards in the shoulder socket. That and the way you've drawn the knuckles on that hand (they could be on either the left or the right). [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] On the other hand the feet look good
So that's why I found the left arm so weird looking. Thanks for the critique.
[QUOTE=nox;35005952]I don't know where I went wrong with this pose but it feels wrong to me. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/r0P7qA.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I'm not good at drawing at all, but treat this as a guideline on what you could do to fix the arm problem. You need to make the arm bend, you completely ignored the joint between the upper and lower part of the arm and didn't really define the forms well with the lightning.

The arm is bent slightly, I wanted the arm to look somewhat foreshortened as his spear is in front of him, but yea, the trouble for me is I've never been a fan of traditional drawing and after I erase and try again so many times everything gets really smudgy and muddy and I have to just take what I can get. Oh and contrast, lol. But like Mako said, I think the biggest issue is that that furrow in his forearm looked like the hollow between the muscles of the inner forearm instead of the elbow.

If you want to have it in front of him you need to skew his arm inwards to the ocean, not outwards to the background. More like this: [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/NoxStrandedPirateArm2.jpg[/t]
Ok, I'll probably redo that arm entirely because I didn't mean for it to be seen as bending backwards at all. I think its the torn sleeve that makes it look that way.
[QUOTE=nox;35007283]Ok, I'll probably redo that arm entirely because I didn't mean for it to be seen as bending backwards at all. I think its the torn sleeve that makes it look that way.[/QUOTE] The torn sleeve is okay, it's just that the pose of the arm currently doesn't really reflect the knuckle pushing and bending the clothing. Go look at yourself in the mirror and see how your arm bends. It doesn't matter if you look at it from the front instead of the back, you'll get the basic gist of it. Or you know, google up a lot of images of people holding things. [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/Holdingpose.jpg[/t][t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655193/holdingpose2.jpg[/t] ([url=https://www.google.com/search?q=Mountain+walk+stick&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=iv1UT5rxOuPE4gSSp4yvDQ&biw=1920&bih=989&sei=jP1UT4HEMq324QSporXJDg]Mountain Walk Stick[/url]) It's just as important to know how it doesn't look as it is to know how it looks. Not to mention visualizing how it would look if you saw it from a different perspective. If you can try and imagine how it would look if you rotated the camera or panned it up or down you can easilier figure out what is wrong. With some reference images you can also see how it should/shouldn't look as well and see if it matches or doesn't match up with it.

Working on a self portrait. Still very much a work in progress. [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49067800/WP_000547.jpg[/img_thumb] This was from my figure drawing class. I was rather reluctant to post it due to how shitty it looks. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YEWCNl.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=BISCUIT_TINS;35003970]Finished it [t]http://i.imgur.com/UmMxk.jpg[/t] I'm feeling for doing a Christopher Walken later on today.[/QUOTE] Why haven't you been posting here before? Also, do you have an estimate of how long that piece took?

[QUOTE=BISCUIT_TINS;35011899]I don't know, I just never bothered to post I guess. I have taken pictures of some shit I've done in the past with the intent to upload it but I always forgot. It took me probably around 4-5 hours total? With some breaks in-between. I don't know how accurate that is though because sometimes is feels really long, and other times it feels really really quick.[/QUOTE] [i]sell your talent[/i].

[QUOTE=BISCUIT_TINS;35012138]Everyone says that to me, but I don't want it to be my job. I enjoy it as a hobby. And besides, I've already got a pretty great job that pays quite nicely :)[/QUOTE] nobody said you had to make it your job, but if you're spending 5 hours of a night drawing something like this anyways why not profit?
[QUOTE=daijitsu;35012210]nobody said you had to make it your job, but if you're spending 5 hours of a night drawing something like this anyways why not profit?[/QUOTE] I agree! I know it can be hard to part with something you've put time and effort into, but if you sold a couple of drawings a week at $40 a pop you could be rolling in it [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] if you got payed in $1 bills [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] If you did commissions for people you could make a bit more, I think. Drawing people's kids from photos or whatever
[QUOTE=BISCUIT_TINS;35003970]Finished it [t]http://i.imgur.com/UmMxk.jpg[/t] I'm feeling for doing a Christopher Walken later on today.[/QUOTE] One more question, do you know what kind of paper that you drew it on? I'm just kind of curious. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to surfaces/ canvases for traditional media. The paper that I have in my sketchbook is very rough and heavy :/
not enough contrast its terrible dgg it up [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/aaaaaa8.png[/img]
