pretty interesting character designs, but before you take your drawing to the next step check the porpotions of your figure! dont worry about details, focus on large, simple shapes. also drawing thumbnails of figures before you go for a full size sketch can help a lot. try more studies from life and photo reference, they exponentially improve all your work. keep drawing, and never loose your creativity! you have good ideas, and in time youll be able to excecute them. cheers :)

It's hard to post after someone like Syrogen gives this good advice. The only thing I would add is Purchase a good anatomy book like Bridgman's complete guide to drawing from life.And some Men's health magazines help as well. At least they help me. Any way keep drawing. And when you're not drawing think about drawing. Look at things and study the lines,shapes and such. Hope this helps.

later,

Hello,

I'm working on my anatomy issues myself and I had the book referred to me. Anatomy for the Artist by Jen” Barcsay (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1586631748/qid=1090262962/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/002-9525677-7363221?v=glance&s=books)

Hopefully I got that to work. Otherwise go to Amazon and search for Anatomy for the Artist by Jen Barcsay. Its got some good plates in it, including some skeleton referencing.

But of course the best thing is having a real life model. That part I'm working on. LOL

Good Luck!
Karen
