[img]http://i.cubeupload.com/H8mQ5Y.png[/img] Drew a cockatiel, will prob finish it tomorrow.

More practice on the bus shaky as fuck, I'm so glad that my phone has updated camera software from the community that stabilizes shots [IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/2crwynt.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/t5nf3o.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2h3vvnr.jpg[/IMG] there's a fourh one but it's shit

Once I finalise some designs I'm planning to spray/paste them up around my area. There's an overflow of shitty scribble or bubble tag graffiti around the place, so I'd like to introduce some decent pieces into the mix. Here's my first idea, quickly roughed on some whiteboard in an empty room at college [img]http://imageshack.us/m/155/5358/img0194by.jpg[/img] I'd like to have whatever feedback and ideas on it you can give me.

This has been loads of times - You gotta make that design really intriguing before it's better than the rest out on the streets. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WHhYN.png[/IMG]

yeah, done to death and yours doesn't really stick out

[img]http://gyazo.com/263f880c2e4c89e93ec1022cacace6b6.png[/img] aside from anatomical mistakes, is there anything else i should fix before finishing it?

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/WHhYN.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Well as I said, most of the stuff on the streets is awful. For the record that one is also awful. Thanks though, there's no reason I shouldn't try to add more elements into the design anyway, even if the competition is rubbish.. [QUOTE=Detlef;29860962]yeah, done to death and yours doesn't really stick out[/QUOTE] Really? I've never seen it before, I feel robbed That was pretty much just the idea though, I would sharpen it up a whole lot, maybe change the angle.. something closer to this [img]http://imageshack.us/m/864/1695/img0199blz.jpg[/img] [editline]16th May 2011[/editline] @ Xephio, if anatomy is above questioning I would just say extend the blade until it's visible on the right. Having a really short sword worn over the shoulder looks odd IMO

Was already planning to do that, i haven't even started drawing his left arm yet as you can see

Well then I'm not sure what you mean by things you should do BEFORE finishing it, if any progress you make will constitute finishing it..

Also maybe push the values a bit, it all looks quite medium grey at the moment

@ Xephio: The geometric shapes in his armor should be mirrored better, for starters.

eyes are creepy

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;29857951]What do you think of the cat so far? You and everybody are the only other coal users I'm aware of.[/QUOTE] Actaully I never really use coal, but it looks good to me. Also wewt, quit shooting yourself in the foot. Draw outside of the bus and do not use lined paper.

[QUOTE=1chains1;29862272]Also wewt, quit shooting yourself in the foot. Draw outside of the bus and do not use lined paper.[/QUOTE] I draw outside the bus on proper paper when I have time, also I'm getting a proper sketchbook for drawing on the bus. It's when I have the most time for practice :smith: I'll find more time

Before I post a sketch with a seriously screwed up lip I need to know, my reference has very visible lips, that it looks like he already has lip stick on, do I draw it out? [editline]16th May 2011[/editline] And this time, I have vaguely studied the head anatomy and constantly criss-cross with my reference, so hopefully anatomy should be alright

But I'll post tomorrow ASAP. Trust me, this sketch is something that makes avoiding optional.

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;29863329]do you like daft punk[/QUOTE] I like the daft punk helmet.

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;29864239]my word can you please do some anatomy/proportions studies? how many of these anatomically incorrect and awkward flat character pieces are you going to post before you actually learn something and improve? i see little improvement apart from some slight positive change in brush technique i mean, it's admirable that you're making stuff up and doing things without reference - that's a shit tonne better than the referenced crap i pump out - but you really lack the fundamental skill base to pull it off with any serious conviction[/QUOTE] Thank you. i just had one of those huge realization moments oh and, got any sites suggestions for anatomy? Right now i'm only using Posemaniacs, but i think it'd be better to try different sites

holy shit I have told you that loads of times

[QUOTE=Detlef;29865585]holy shit I have told you that loads of times[/QUOTE] i know i know somehow i need think about it in a way that activates like a button that enables me to suddenly REALLY understand wtf i just got told to do. some weird shit i don't even know it's like a process and afterall i've learned the most thanks to you

quick sketch that doesn't really fit the reference [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/ckOR8V.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/3APnH1.jpg[/IMG] Yes it's in MSPaint, but that forum is dead for everything but the interactive threads :saddowns:
