[QUOTE="Alter_Echo"]

Ive been looking at your work for a while now and every one of your drawings looks the same. You are marginally decent at drawing one type of thing. Work harder.

And this isnt flaming. Its just my honest opinion. Since you asked for it.

Yay! I'm the artistic version of Nickelback!

Seriously though, I think I see what you're talking about. I'll try and mix it up a little bit more.

Yeah. It's the same thing. Maybe draw a tiger next time or something.Ilived

Maybe a tiger with a laser gun or something like that. Or a vicious man-eating unicorn.

In all seriousness, to the people bashing your drawings...they don't really get how it works. For example, comic book artists study a position and practice drawing it like a hundred times until it reaches perfection. If you keep going with this, you will get something much better out of it and people will be liking your art.

No, you don't get how it works.

You don't draw the same thing over and over and over. You're able to draw the basic figure doing anything you want them to then you're able to adapt and drape detail over it.

I can't say I agree with you. You need to draw the same position over and over so you can get a clear enough image in your head to remember it and use it for future work and different situations.

That's all done with blank figures that have the build of whatever kind of person you're drawing.

Look at any artists works in the comic industry and they do drafting boards of the rough figure in whatever pose they want to be. Once all that's done they drape over whatever detail they want for the characters.

Working on a "finished" piece over and over again does nothing except teach you to make the same errors over and over and over.

He doesn't have the basics down. Your idea that he should just do something wrong until it's still wrong doesn't make any sense.

I'm guessing that he wants to get better.

If he draws it over and over again he will get what looks wrong and what doesn't and then soon enough that position he has been trying to draw will turn out to look good. Many comic artists use an action figure to get a sense of how a certain position should look like. They practice it and it is clear in their heads. Then they can use that position next time in the future and can easily do it because of how many times they drew it and practiced it. I am talking about positions, not same designs, same art, or whatever.

They don't, just no.....you're not near what they actually do.

That's fine, we'll agree to disagree and I'll go back giving what in my view is constructive advice and you can do your thing too.

I do think I see what Jaysonguy means about the jetpack. I'll try and take it off when I do the Wacom version.

And ilived, I'm still probably going to do that tiger with a laser beam. Or try. I'm horrible at drawing animals.

I've also got an awesome original concept floating around in my head. A morbidly obese alien creature that devours everything in it's path at a McDonalds.
