Umm...My Sucky Sketches Thread!

[.cfb]

...But they're my best effort (right now). I've seen some marked improvement since I last posted a while ago...Crits would be highly appreciated.

Umm...yah...C&C would be appreciated...Expecially crits...

...I've been doing "guerrilla drawing" a bit, which helped, but bah! The anatomy is still shit! Oh ya, and drawing out of the anatomy book (well, using it as a reference).

It looks to me like youre on the right track...

The one bit of advice that ive been given that i think has helped me the most is that art is primarily observation/perception. Look at what youre drawing...then look again...try and find the smallest details and pay attention to those when drawing. Its those details that makes the figure look anatomically correct.

Also, when you do your "guerilla drawing" be sure to not just rush through the drawings, but take in what your drawing...like...the way the calf curves or the way the arm connects to the shoulder. You start building up a mental "library" of what looks right and whats off.

and most important of all...keep drawing!! :D

I wanted to wriate "why You have post it if it sucks" (when I saw a thread title) but then I saw rest of you words and I've changed my mind.
Look at the first pic. You've made to much lines on each "one" line. It makes the body not definied. I Like the Mummy. It is drawn pretty well. Femal anathomy and the Summoner are also good, but... (look above).
What else? More refs I thik. And draw, draw, draw, draw... :-)

ChaosEidolon: Thanks, I'll try that. The problem is that the subjects are moving. I go to (wherever) and I start drawing someone, but by the time I finish drawing the torso, they're out of sight.

Taseck: I'm not sure what you mean by "Why you have to post it if it sucks," but your other advice sounds good. Do you mean to work on using one line (instead of many) to enclose the body, or that it needs shading and other little anatomical details to look more "defined."

Since for some reason the two last drawings aren't showing up, I'll spam 'em again: (I think that there's a 7 image limit, right?)

Ack...Finally got an image host! (imageevent.com, hopefully it works...I've been through 7 today!)

yay...


...For anyone in need of an image host, I guess, since so many of them are going the pay route, pyxs.com seems to be working fine.

Since it's now my sketch-thread...I'll just post whatever I do, hopefully it will be more than enough incentive for me to improve (Like, my crappy sketches surrounded by everything else, maybe I'll improve :) )

Umm...Here's todays sketch(es)...I only got around to sketching for 10 minutes today:

Refs used on the far left pic (the small woman pic)

[.cfb]

I'd really love some crits (that means tear me down people) about what I'm doing wrong on the anatomy here. A ref was used for the left pic, but I just used it to get a basic shape (so 75% of the drawing is without ref), and the right one has a serious case of dwarf-arm (i think...)...Anyways, yah...Crits would be nice.
