I believe that as long as you tell people your work is crappy, they will be certain you must be correct.

[gamoroth]

maybe your right... well i was just trying to be modest anyways lol

Whoa whoa Happeh whatsup with the criticism?
It's obvious gamoroth likes to draw or he wouldn't put that much detail into his drawings.
All I have to say is even though you might be less experienced than SOME of the artists here, it's clear to me you have an imagination and you like to draw. That's two out of three things necessary to draw well, in my opinion. The other is practice!
:D
Keep it up man and show us what else you come up with.

Kress is so frickin' right,....

observation and practice!

drawing from reference is a great practice!

glad to see i'm not the only one beginner on this forum !
I juste think these drawings are a little bit to flat... but the lineart seems correct (to me, but I'm not a good drawer :p)
Maybe you should add some lighting and shadows ?

[gamoroth]

yeah i gotta work on my shadowing that has always been a problem of mine


well heres a new picture also http://azazelj.tripod.com/azazels_lair/id5.html

Could post a bigger one so I can see it better

Other than that, I agree with everyone else..

i like the concepts, but as you know, your technique lacks some courage to let the pencil fly and do some extra work.
i suggest that you try sketching some outlined pieces fast and then concentrate in the surface textures, for example that monster would look cool if the swirls were tree-like textured.

the pictures are actualy very large its just tripod shrinks them down >_<

Hi gamoroth,
I am an extreme beginner...I started in september of this year. First time I ever tried to draw so I know exactly how you feel. The biggest part of growing as an artist is to draw/paint/etc for as many hours as possible everyday. ... and I would add reading any material you can get your hands on...especially the figure drawing/foundational skills books. The others are right...there is a lot of imagination in these pictures but I would like to challenge you to help you get better. Don't think of anything you draw in terms of lines...etc... Think about what the "3d" image would look like in your head. For instance if you are drawing a monster with five arms...pretend you are a camera "in your head" and go all around the creature...looking from behind and above...etc... All of your drawings so far are very detailed and good but they are all side on or flat, so to speak. Do this tonight...hold up your left hand and draw it with your right hand. When you hold up your hand position it with the flat side of your palm facing directly towards you. **Now turn your hand about 30 degrees.** Now draw it as you see it. Don't think about lines at all...squint your eyes and look for the shadows. Draw it in 3d...hope this helps. Keep it up bud...The most important thing...draw everyday and doesn't listen to any crap anyone tells you...Andrew Loomis talks about in his figure drawing book that the first week he went to art school he was told to go back home...well he didn't...and I, and a myriad of other artists, are thankful for that...because his books are awesome. Keep practicing...you WILL get better. Draw everyday.
