Creative Work That Doesn't Deserve A Thread V6 <3v3ryb0dy Hypocrite Critiques Edition> - General

I can't burn in what doesnt exist, and I am content enough with that apology so all is good.

Double toast. Anyone want one?

i think they should feel privileged i never had the benefit of harsh criticism when i was young, i had to find the flaws in my artwork myself

[QUOTE=Detlef;28326973]I think the people getting the harsh critisim should get used to it[/QUOTE] Well. DUH.

Yes. As I said before, show those stills and I'll take you seriously.

Oh my. This has turned into a little domestic.

I remember when this was a thread for art :smith:

Meh, as long as it's lively.

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;28327192]I remember when this was a thread for art :smith:[/QUOTE] im sorry that im stopping people from posting artwork with the power of my harsh words

lol no ur not

Yessss finally been able to go back to this and make a bit of progress: [img]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9674/bandwipchris.jpg[/img] It's nice to have some free time. Also, it's nice to have some artwork on this page of the thread.

It looked better on paper when I drew it last year. [URL=http://img121.imageshack.us/i/eyeb.png/][IMG]http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/4906/eyeb.png[/IMG][/URL]

Careful to fade out your lashes as they approach the tear-duct more. They shouldn't be that thick, long and numerous over there. They should probably be thicker on the upper-lid on the other side too. Be more gradual with your pencil too and try and fade each lash out a bit better. Right now they're pretty much the same thickness from root to tip. The ball itself could do with a bit darker shading around the edges. [editline]27th February 2011[/editline] Not bad overall though.

I'm looking for the actual drawing now because my only option to shade the eyeball before I uploaded it was Photoshop and I didn't really like the result. I'll probably go back and draw it again trying to be more gradual. Thanks for the advice.

Sorry for the outburst.. thank you 1chains1, and you dgg, i put a bit more time into making this. [IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5013/5484464112_0b78f2f285_b.jpg[/IMG] Would appreciate criticism, especially on the hands ;-)

Duckboy, look at a picture of a person or yourself in the mirror. Do their/your body proportions match what is in you drawing? Once you done that read these, learn and practice: [url=http://www.bakaneko.com/howto/figure/anatomy2/index.html]Male Anatomy by Athey Nansel-Moravetz[/url] [url=http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs7/f/2006/347/b/2/Male_Anatomy_Patterns_by_Snigom.jpg]Male Anatomy Patterns by Snigom[/url]

Need a critique for my poem asap [quote] Ketchup This is probably going to end up like the blues Just the other day, I felt my life was hollow If I had some booze, maybe would be make my life liquid Beats being hollow, too bad I didn’t have any booze to drink Don’t know why it happened, probably no cake if I knew At least I’m not new to it. Wake up the next day and took a sniff of a new day Took a rejuvenating wash, felt like yesterday was just ridicule Just when the feeling was at its peak, it decided to lay off One second I have butter scotch, then the next, it melts away. At school, it only just had to get worse And I didn’t even know why I felt like a rotten tomato Maybe to cool down, say “what’s up?” Followed by all kinds of potatoes like it, like “ketchup” Well, it took off the unneeded salt on the salmon I didn’t need a booze nor chocolate to be filled Bonus! That salmon turned into sushi, ring the bells! It certainly made me feel much better Dare yourself to feed on the taste of variety. [/quote]

[QUOTE=Oblivious1;28340030]Need a critique for my poem asap[/QUOTE] nice work, it's quite deep.

Just some simple still life or something.

Proportions are of all over the place, seriosly, there is no shading, anatomy is having a shore leave and such. Also lol, fat tie. For shading and basic stuff check out drawspace.com. Now try drawan something from a photo and try to apply stuff you learn from drawspace on it.

I took what you all said into consideration, I'm practicing right now but i still have allot more work to do, I'm trying to get to the point where i can draw the human body without a reference. Right now I'm just focusing on drawing what i have the most trouble with, next i'll be working on drawing legs, since that's what I'm the worst at.

Looks much better than your previous attempt. And one tip, please crop ur images.

It's all about making image simpler to yourself, thinking them into a system you understand. How tendons are and such etc. also gay, draws male studies.

Those "skeleton" things are good for poses and general proportions too so keep doing them too. However try to keep your strokes as loose and few as possible. Try to see if you can convey a curve with only one fast and loose stroke instead of several small ones. Try to feel the shape and "motion" of the line rather than try to copy the geometry 1:1. Of course that doesn't mean "making shit up", it still should look more of less like the thing you were trying to draw.

Ah he provides a lot of inspiration to me for my realism work. It may have been him who posted a tutorial that influences my work actually... the "texture" you're referring to is just a little bit of grain I apply in great moderation to certain materials. It's usually at about 5% opacity, if that.
