[mongoosedog]

Greeting's everyone , welcome to my sketchbook, am kind of new here, been visiting off and on, looking at all the incredible stuff thats in this gem of a site, so i decided t start a sketchbook too, I've always drawn since i was small, but i stopped doing it for years, i got a computer to record my own music, and discovered digital art and programs through it and it sparked my wanting to draw again , and just last year i started again, so you can expect anything here from traditional media to digital stuff to a combination of both , feel free to comment about anything you like or dislike, thanks for looking... :]

but for the girl, id recommend having a glance or 2 over some anatomy...youll hear it alot, everybody does haha
just have a look at the torso, how long her body [waist] appears to be
on another note, im liking the hands
so...just keep uploading your stuff
happy drawing
:]

[SkyTheArtist]

Good to see you on CA.org. :D Your stuff is looking pretty good. A little anatomy work needs to be done however, such as the woman holding the gun. Her torso seems much too large. Nothing a little study can't handle though. :)

Keep up the good work! Hope to see some improvement real soon. ;)

[mongoosedog]

Thanks iheartmyself glad you like the inked sketches and thanks for pointing out my mistakes :]

SkyTheArtist thanks for looking , i know her torso is kind of too long, thanks for pointing that out , i needs more practice :]

more inked stuff . . .

Wow, that last chick is already quite a difference to the previous. Wheter you wanted it or not it looks quite masculine though, so you should definitly take a look at a figuire drawing book. Also her back is wrong because it's too straight (the shoulder area) and the one breast has a too straight contour.

Keep it up!

[mongoosedog]

Kurjuss is not the same chick , i think her arm is too butched or something that might be why it looks masculine, am learning to ink my pencils and inking is such and underrated skill , the pencils had a totally different feel, thanks for commenting i need all the help :]

more attempts :] . . .

might i recommend just having a look at the stomach/torso again, theyre still looking a little long
if you will, touch the side of your waist, where your rib ends...and see how close it is the the pelvis, i thought there was a good half a foot in there..but theres not really much of a gap, an inch or 2 at most
this i think is where youre going wrong, it seems that youre drawing in this long stomach, where the ribs and pelvis are not aligning up correctly

hope this helps

[mongoosedog]

You're right i heartmyself , have to remember that for next one , thanks :]

Not bad, but something about it (definitely the head or neck) is causing it to be WAY off. The head is extremely small and the neck is really long. It just drains the sexiness out of the picture.

I would recommend you draw more from life. Just gestures and contours before you throw yourself into hardcore inking and rendering.

[mongoosedog]

its her neck and torso, and hips are too small XD, thanks for looking BubbaGump, draw more from real life gotcha, i still like to put my ideas on paper and mess with them be it inking or w/e, still learning all the time,
thats why i put em here to get help etc :]

[photosynthesis]

For the babe with the bow, get photo's of some real archers, and bows,cuz your bow's tips bend too much, three fingers should be on the bow parallel to it, and the nock should be drawn to here face not shoulder.(sorry I'm making a bow in my garage, and your not the first person i did that to) For how she is shooting it you should check out horseback archers (mongolians) or close range shooting, and use the key word 'traditional' archery in your search. You've already had plenty of anatomical assistance so I won't go there, either way I like people who like drawing. Your pen and ink stuff looks very nice, very crisp, keep it up.

[mongoosedog]

Photosynthesis i should've looked at some references for the archer girl, but it was a spurr of the moment drawing and i just went with the flow, sometimes i just forget to also, i know silly me XD, glad you like some of the inks thanks for looking :]

here's more inked stuff ...

Hi
really diging this style you've got going, and you seem quite good with colour as well,but I still think you do with a bit more anatomy studys[like Sky said].
