Davidskiwan's thread of apathy =\

[Davidskiwan]

Howdy people, ive been drawing for a while, and i really need a kick up the arse to get me going again, ive been going through depression lately and its haulted my art =(. I'd like to know what all joo excellent artists that i see here think of my work, suggest what i should improve, tell me where im going wrong >_>... Im in need of some inspirational critique =\ of not just my work but my style in general. If anybody has any advice for motivation, i'd love to hear it too...

These pictures will be random in age, anywhere within 1 year of age, im new to studies with photoshop, so if anybody can offer some advice of how to do that i'd love it thanks =D

some of these are really good sketches, man.. but a word of advice; no one will look at them if they are small to begin with, try to make them appear around 800 by 600 in your post and you might get more attention. I like your style man, keep it up.

You could use some work on anatomy in some of these. Also, that Japanese chick is really hot but since the light on her is so strong it's not a good reference to use. Try to find something with a strong single light source instead.

Hope to see more.
