New Artist

[YourAngstHere]

This is my first post with any sort of art in it, and when i say i'm a new artist, i mean it. this is the first thing i'm truly proud of.

C&C would be appreciated.

The only thing i dont like is the pose. I needed to make it more dynamic in the sense that it makes it look like the charachter is placed sideways.

Edit: oops. Uploaded the image too big. Heres a smaller version.

Anyone? Really. I would love to hear what you have to say

I am not a very good artist but your drawing look not bad. The only thing that I do not understand is how does she walk, she looks to fly and I do not understand what we see at the bottom of the picture.
Keep working:)

Angst, the positioning of that building top/wall/whatever at the bottom looks too much like a sequence of panels. Took a moment to realize what was going on. The figure does need some work, it's very static. Work on placing the figure so it's not always dead on. Anyways, keep working, and post more later so we can watch you improve.

yeah, the bottom of the page confused me immensely. your character looks flat, she doesn't look like she has much depth too. keep going! :)

To be harsh (no offence) but I wouldn't dare posting something like this so soon.

I myself waited untill I had reached a certain level of skilll before I posted, not out of shame but simply out of respect for the community.
There are so many talented artists here and I can understand very well why people would like to keep it is.

Simply browse, learn and practise untill you're satisfied.

Wrong. This isn't an elitist forum, at least, not the last time I checked. Anyone is welcome to post anything topically correct.

About the piece, The top drawing is alright. The inking is ok, but you need to practice. You need to study some anatomy and learn what you're drawing. The bottom section I do not understand. Post more, practice, and learn. Just keep drawing!

And welcome to the forum.

[YourAngstHere]

Thanks for all the pointers! I'll keep working at it and try to make it better.

I disagree.

i think the bottom part is supposed to be the bullets holes from her gun in the wall...i think, also she does seam to be a little stiff. plus theres no shading what so ever?...other than that keep up the good work...

dem0n: no offense dem0n but that statement is the sort of thing i find discourages newer members from posting their work, if they post the work earlier they can get the sort of help to improve their art faster and before the mistakes become habbit.

yourangsthere: good try for a new artist(hey im still too ashamed to post my work :)) there are some anatomy issues you could work on and learn to work in some value and texture before moving on to colour :)

just keep at it and with lots of practice, encouragment and hopefully without killing too many trees you'll be a master in no time! :cool:

good luck :chug:

[Gr8t100]

and now i know why there are so many new members already calling themselves crap. Just remember that you were once in their spot dem0n, just keep that in mind.

As for the piece goes. It has it's problems which have already been addressed, just keep sketching and thinking of new things.

I disagree 110%

^^ i'm with all of you on that.

"you wouldn't DARE!"

jeeeeeeeez! it's like he caught the dog eating his uber-caviar or something. lighten up, this is EXACTLY what he should be doing right now, not feeling like he did something wrong. the whole point of this board is to get inspired, critiqued, and learn.
sad words.


anyhow, as far as your piece up there goes, i share pretty much the same feelings, the character seems very flat and the pose doesn't help the situation either; the bottom confused me yadda yadda....
but KEEP POSTING. you'll be improving in no time! =)
