It's a 300 picture,I was in the living room when I decided I wanted to draw something :?,I like 300 a lot so I decided to make a drawing of that. Any tips on how to improve my drawings are welcome.:) Enjoy Please go easy on me,I don't make a lot of drawings,I really got into it recently.
It's a bit irritating when people match drawing skill to age, there are plenty of brilliant young artists, and everyone has to start somewhere, at least the TC didn't trace something and claim it as his own.
Proportions will make the figure better than what it is now. Figure drawing will help with that. Here's a tip with proportion: The head of an average figure will always be seven heads tall (head to feet), shoulders will be three heads wide, distance from the hip to the toes is four heads, the distance from the top of the head to the bottom of the chest is two heads, the distance from the wrist to the end of the outstretched fingers of the hand is 3/4 head, and the distance from the elbow to the end of the outstretched fingers is two heads.
These would be the standards. Also, work on drawing lightly so you can always erase the lines if they do not work well. Use value, especially with the cloak.

Well,I'm 16,again,I never was into drawing until now.It's one of my first. I liked it. I have little experience with drawing, but I was particularly impressed by your depiction of the upraised right arm, holding the spear. It seemed very natural. As others have said, the abdomen looks a bit peculiar--simply too long, for one thing--but I think it could be a great picture with some practice.

I'm putting your message in notepad :),thx for the tip You're welcome. Would you like to see my drawing of a mermaid with fish? It's not finished. I have other stuff to do, such as my book. It might help. Though, I'm not done with the one hand and I have to take a newer pic of it since I already edited the chin on the mermaid.

I'm putting your message in notepad :),thx for the tip And you should too, being an art student that's the best advice I've heard from this thread. As well as the guy down there who said to draw more and improve. I know you said several times that you just started, and thats good. Just if youre serious about it, you should look at something, anything, and draw it. If you do this everyday you'll be a 1337sauce artist in like, 2 months or less. But you have to be extremely determined to do this.You can't even imagine you determined you have to be to do it everyday. Because you won't feel like doing it everyday lol...

Your proportions are all wrong, to improve just study some basic human anatomy, shading and maybe a quick sketch book. Looking at othre peoples art/reading criticism really helps too.

yea,some people already mentioned that I should do that,and I'm definitely gonna do it,thx for the feedback :) Oh and with lots of practice with the proportions, you'll soon be able to eyeball the right length of each body without checking again and again. It's always a good thing to check here and there though to make sure the proportions are correct. I only worked on figure drawing barely once. My art teacher made it a quick lesson last year. The mermaid would be my only figure drawing I have done so far.
My advice to you is that you should take off the blindfold and actually look at the paper while you're drawing. Lol, I'm just messing with ya. Honestly, I do think it is pretty bad for a sixteen year-old. There's close to no shading, the abdomen is far out of proportion, nothing is detailed, an it's just an overall bad drawing.
