they look a lil flat to me, try to have them in poses where you can tell they have depth.

[Malice X]

Not to bad.

The first image, I think you need to go back and look at the proportions once more, they aren't horrible my any means, but they seem a little off to me, especially the arms and hands

I actually really like the 2nd image, I think it has alot of potential. If you just polush it up some more, and add more detail, it could look really awesome if you put some nice dark subtle lighting in there to set some tone.

Keep up the good work

ya they look flat because of the scanner. in life there alot darker and theres more contrast . wow i just looked at them again. all the black is light gray. hmm any one no why there so bright at whitish ? and what i can do to fix it cause they dont really look like that :mad:

[Devilock138]

I don't think its the scanner. You need to have shading along the legs arms and chests of your subjects. Right now you have a single direction pencil pattern going down them all like looking at sheet metal. I can see where there is some shading and I think you can easily improve. You have only a little of what you probably can do. Put more time into it if you have to.

cool ideas... but work on shading and anatomy. :)

[joe3sk8erpk]

thanks for the C&C ill will work on my shading cause i need to but i am looking at the pictures and they are reallly bright compared to the origonals from my sketch book. but yall are right i do need to work on it more ill fix them up a bit and repost them soon. again thanks

[joe3sk8erpk]

ok i added some more shading and darker shadowhttp://mercury.walagata.com/w/joe3sk8erpk/9925563.jpg

[joe3sk8erpk]

... hello any one :(

[joe3sk8erpk]

can any one say any thing ? please.:)

[dylan]

I can say something...

1: Have more patients when waiting for replies.

2: You improved the image. Good Job. But think about where your light source is coming from. Where would the ground shadow actually fall if his entire right leg is covered in a shadow? Would the left arm cast a shadow on the rib cage? Wouldn't the guitar cord cast a shadow? ect ect...

[flavorite]

i'll say something! you spelled angels wrong! (unless its supposed to say "may angles lead you in") :D

[joe3sk8erpk]

O wow i did spell angels wrong... well thats not good haha. thanks for help all

[sparky | emily]

The people look kind of stiff because they are drawn in straight lines - I'm not talking about the outline here, but their general form. Really look at someone who is playing guitar and try to see the subtle curves. It will bring your drawing to life a lot more.

The shading definetly helped give the person more volume. But like dylan said, think about where shadows would be cast.

ok thanks. i play guitar and i lookede at my self in the mirror to get the hands and arms but i didnt really look at the figure but i will next time.
