Hey, this is my first post at CA. I'm 15 years old, and have no experience in art. I've read 'HOW TO DRAW COMICS THE MARVEL WAY' so thats the only training I've gotten, but I would love to have a career in either concept art for video games or coding for games.

I want to know what you all think abotu these drawings. I don't have any programs to touch them up and a pretty crappy scanner. I was wondering what programs most of you use to make your pictures look so flawless. Thanks for the help/coments.

I made these pictures in class while I was bored. I accually gave them to my sister and she cut them out and put them on her school binder (shes 11). That's why theres tape on them and their dirty. I can make new and better pictures later I just wanted to see your responses. Thanks

Nice done, but put more attention to the girl's brests.For body-drawing, you should check out this very good manga drawing cursus, even if you arent 'into' manga.

getting into this at 15 is awesome. i just got a scanner this year and i'm 23. here's some advice.
first, if thats tracing paper, never use tracing paper again. if you need to trace something you've already done, get yourself a lightbox. or make one. it'll cost you $6 in supplies.
next, i understand the idea of wanting to make a lot of defined muscles, but you have then really out of whack. the best thing to do is do lifedrawing. if you have a class near you that has models come in, thatd be the best. or if you don't have the $$, you could have a friend or family member do it for you, because even with clothes on, you'll get a better understanding of the physical body. when all else fails, just draw yourself in a big mirror. forget comic mucle dudes, draw real people. then go from there.
best of luck!

I can't get any of the links to work. The third one works, but leads me to a page where it says it's loaded 100%, but I see nothing.

Thanks for the c&c but I was wondering what programs you all use to make your art look so flawless. All I have is Paintshop pro 7 and am just getting to know how to use it.

These are just two of my drawings too. I usually draw huge muscley guys like this cuz i like comics and thats how i learned to draw but i can post some of my more realistic drawings later.
