I think I posted a lot of this earlier but I haven't been able to work on it again until now. I made a couple of tweaks to it and polished some areas that needed more polishing.
Pretty soon I'm going to start animating the non-intro bits which will be challenging.

Looks great, though the bottom of the revolver's grip sticking out from under "Curly"'s fingers seems a bit thick IMO; this is awesome regardless.

It's a remake of my old doodle I made of the monster in LOST, before we knew that it was just smoke.

Getting some Combine vibes from that thing, im really, really fascinated by the design.
Since I've done 5 pages now I figure I'll dump my ongoing comic here.
The basic idea is I have no idea where the story's going or what the script is, I just doodle a page when I'm bored. So far I'm really happy with it, there's a few things I've wanted to draw for a while so I have a few ideas for pages!

I always try and improve myself by drawing stuff in the panels I don't usually draw, so any feedback would be amazing, either through Facepunch or Tumblr!

I'll probably post some figure drawings and sketchbook pages soon maybe? have a nice day!
[editline]12th February 2016[/editline]
oh! and any C&C will of course be greatly appreciated :^)
experimented with some shading
[t]http://i.imgur.com/ulJl7Vq.png[/t]
So I ran a pencil-trace over my friend's sketch.
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/DBXf5cz.png[/img_thumb]
My next course is to try to make a harder trace and apply shade to some of the areas. Turret-thingy may come as a later add-on if I can make one out of scratch.
Can we ask for help here?
I'm painting a digital portrait of [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/The_Essential_Kenny_Loggins.jpg]Jesus[/url] for an assignment and I've never done digital portraiture before. I've hit a wall with the hair. I know you're supposed to paint hair in chunks and in basic shapes, but how should you go about the thin wispy bits on the edges? I haven't managed to find a good video on it, and I am utterly stuck.
Literally just scratch around the edges with a dark brush
picasa's shutting down so I dug through my old albums to see if there was anything of interest. I was so much more motivated back when I was in 14/15.

Fuel tank back there doesn't make sense it would upset the centre of mass. control cables are a good idea though

[QUOTE=Maloof?;49696966]Yeah there's definitely a nicer way to phrase this sort of thing. I know we've been over this before and I'm not fussed tbh - it's something that I think you need to work on.
His drawing and rendering skills aren't awful - they're actually half decent. He's not professional level yet but it looks like he's on the right path. There are definitely some things he needs to work on, as discussed above. But shooting somebody down with 'it would be good if you could actually draw' isn't doing anything for anybody's morale.

I don't want you to feel like the only contact we have is when I call you out on shit - [B]you [I]do[/I] post a lot of solid advice[/B]. But yeah. Constructive criticism ain't that[/QUOTE]
to be honest maloof for all of your diplomacy I wrote you a big long crit a while ago with a paintover and you didn't respond even to say thanks - in my opinion that's ruder than any of my eight thousand odd posts have been lol
giving people pointers in here is not something you get congratulated for - the shittiest drawing somebody posts will get more recognition than someone taking chunks of time out of their almost completely full schedule to help another poster - you give people something for nothing and no one cares, but everyone's itching to argue and complain, everyone will rush to join in for the negative part. Try to assume that if something looks bad I worded it carelessly rather than it being malicious - or you can take it the wrong way without giving me the benefit of the doubt despite knowing me on this forum for literally years lol I feel quite apathetic either way at this stage
[QUOTE=kirederf7;49719740]Okay guys, remember about two weeks ago is said this:
This is the first time I'm doing some actual work.. I couldn't draw a decent stick figure pose two weeks ago :v:
So here's where my figure drawing 's at now.. I'm so fucking excited! Progress!
Proko is really good so I bought the premium figure drawing stuff. Next up; anatomy!
[IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49828537/Art/sketches/110216figure.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
I think you're approaching the figure in a very anatomical way already (trying to put defined forms together, which will become more complex and layered as you actually learn the muscle groups etc.) but you're lacking liveliness. Part of this is the treatment of the drawing, you'll probably get nicer (and possibly more convincing) results from trying to feel the rhythm of poses in more carefree sketches than by putting them together with thin restrained lines - since you're not actually getting into the specifics of anatomy yet you should try to counterfeit life in your drawings rather than the scientific approach before you have the knowledge underneath it. I hope I'm making it clear what I mean. Now I'm not certain how you've built this figure up as I can't really see any of the initial lines but it would probably benefit you more to do skeletons than to jump straight to geometric blocks and cylinders - it's a quicker process to getting a whole figure together and it's often easier to put dynamism into a skeleton/stick figure than through the blocky shapes. Though if you want to construct a really convincing specimen you might do one and then the other and then further layers of construction before putting the final lines down... but as I say for where you are at the moment I think you should try to push some life into your figures while you're still doing them from refs in bulk, then hopefully you can carry that into the more theory heavy stages of study. so I've done a skeleton using your drawing as a base -

changed a couple of things that didn't make sense to me haha. also looking back at yours I didn't pay any attention to what the hands were doing in your pose so mine is sort of mid-dance but that shouldn't ruin the example too much lol... I tried not to be accurate regarding the bones too much because I know you're not familiar with them yet so that would defeat the purpose a bit. Anyway I've been able to make it a bit livelier doing this than you've managed (or I would manage) by sticking forms with contour lines together. I would like to have made it more dynamic and interesting but this isn't something I've practiced all that much so bear with it. now once again without paying the anatomy much attention I've gone ahead with a drawing over the skeleton sketch as I might draw from life rather than trying to construct a body -

I suppose what I'm trying to encourage you to aim for is the feeling that your drawing is of an actual person even if it's from your head - that they are alive and something is happening and you're capturing it. Even if they're just sitting there, they have a human presence. Even if they're a bit dodgy anatomically, they have that presence. they're not a mannequin. that's what I was trying to say through all of that, don't draw mannequins lol
Hey mako, thanks for the crits! Im just following the proko course, so i am still doing figure drawing drawing really loosely. This was probably just a bad example to show but it's an actual part of the course. After this i'm going to learn how the skeleton works and fits into a pose and after that its the fleshy part i suppose. I'm not going to start real anatomy until im confident enough with my figures though. Should i combine loomis with proko? Ill post some of my loose sketches here to show you some actual figures

Holy crap I thought I had replied to that paintover. I definitely drafted something in response. That's my bad, sorry - I'm infinitely forgetful and unorganised. I did appreciate it and took it all in.
Personal slights aside, I know that you're not being malicious with your comments - I wasn't trying to start a witch hunt. But many of the people here who aren't regulars don't know you that well (if at all), and they're not going to be able to tell the difference. I'm not an art teacher, but telling people they can't draw (when they obviously do have some knowledge of fundamentals) probably isn't a helpful thing for them to hear. I get that you're busy, but it's the work of 10 seconds to skim a one sentence reply to check whether it's going to come across as supportive or not. Critception, etc

I found Proko's faces were a bit weird. Like they seem a bit off compared to the work of Loomis and others, but I'm not experienced enough to figure out why just yet. Maybe because he tends to (at least in the examples I've seen) use his own face as the practice model, and he's not as close to the Caucasian holotype as the models used by Loomis. Or maybe it's just that I'm more used to seeing Loomis' model than others.

Update on the design. Started coloring. I kept the shading just simple and used pen scribbles, my friend and I sort of took after Watterson's drawings from Calvin and Hobbes (and I used the people at the bottom from one of his works)
Main intent right now is to have this to be able to transition onto a shirt/sweater so I want to keep the coloring simple. What do you guys think?
