Thanks to the people who gave me some input about the things that I have been doing wrong with my artwork. I would like to take some classes for art but right now I'm really broke and can't afford them. Also I recently applied to an art school and got turned down; mostly due to the fact that my high school grades weren't that great. So right now I have to teach myself and have other people (that would be you critical types) to point out things for me to overcome in my art.
For this weekend I got mix of something new and old, pencil works and acrylic painting...
I just finished this one up an hour ago; however my ability to draw the female anatomy is somewhat lacking. I'm really trying to go for something elegant and beautiful when drawing women, not slutty or overly sexualized.
Here is another drawing of Faith, who is the main character from EA DICE's Mirror's Edge. I realized that I still made the mistake of drawing her torso too long. Drawing full body figures can really throw me off when I drawing, especially when it comes to drawing the female figure.
Finally...
I painted Grey Fox from Metal Gear Solid with acrylic paints on gummed water color paper, back in January. I was trying to go for the transparent look with his bottom half, like he is emerging from his stealth camouflage; with only his sword being visible. Painting is the only time that I color my drawings; the only thing is that I don't tend to paint to much videogame characters.
Well that's all I have at the moment, I going to figure out what to draw next and maybe find all the jumps in GTA4 (I'm 83.25% complete).
ehh I think the imperfect long body gives it your style. Its not bad..maybe a little less straight lines when it comes to the female figure. Try working on your poses too. but over all i like it.
Good stuff. If possible, I'd recommend getting one of those little poseable wooden figurines. There's no better tool for working out proportion and poses, and if you shop around you can get a decent one for not too much cash. Action figures just don't cut it, no matter how many points of articulation they have.
Very nice stuff. I particularly like the Cyborg Ninja.
The Samus piece needs more shading, or a Light and shade study, She looks flat and in one plane... somewhere around her bum there is need of strong shadow... also very good work as well as very adventurous considering all the limbs crossing over each other.
I know its hard with the women , been stuck drawing male figures so long... the women end up all beefed up (ew!)
keep at it!
I'm loving the Gray Fox dude.
The "long body" bit made me think of this. I think I need to go to bed.
Thanks, maybe later this month I'll go looking for one of wooden figurines.
