Hey OT, can you give me some tips on some pictures I drew??

[QUOTE="funsohng"]TC's pics. 1aday

Because you didn't insert a direct hosting link in the inset/edit image button (next to the smily face)

I like the second pict. I used to draw a bit here and there at my art class in HS, and Imo the best way to improve is to see the original art more ex:watch the cartoon/anime more that you want to draw so you get a better picture in your head with the proportions. Get darker lead too that helps with contrast and brings it to life.

Don't use such hard outlines.

You should start with outlines, but everything in the end should be soft:

Alright lets see.

The first one is un proportional but the anatomy seems ok. Arm length seems to be good. So yah :P I don't like to critique people's work because I believe everyones pieces are great if you put dedication. But if you want serious critiques, go to Conceptart.org. Pros go to the site then chat and show off there work(totally different from DeviantArt)

I got the book "Draw Real People!" by Lee Hammond when I was younger and liked to draw... it helped me greatly. Even if realistic drawing isn't your style, you can still apply the same principles to match your style. It's a fantastic book. Here are some pictures from inside:

More boobs.

And practically every Andrew Loomis book.

Use more references and spend more time on your work.

Thanks for showing that. I also think it's really good that you showed the "before and after" pictures. That shows that with a lot of practice, it doesn't take long for one's work to improve significantly.

I think there's this sort of notion out there that drawing is something that "you can either do, or you'll never be able to do", and I think that discourages a lot of people from even trying.

It needs darker outline for the first pic and the outlines should be less crooked, the second pic is much better, but try to make the colours more refined.
