Gangsters

[Hink]

Hey guys i just found this site and i am blown away by the artwork posted by this community. My artwork pails in comparison to most of you but i am improving. Hopefully i can look back at these drawings after art school and notice a dramatic before and after effect.
Well here's some drawings i have completed so far for an amature game team i just joined. The game is a first person shooter that revolves around gangsters. These are all first sketches(it takes me like 2 or 3 drafts to get it right) and we dont even have a story yet so most of these characters will probably get axed.

Nice lines and good sense of volume on objects, but you may need to work on your anatomy a little to get the proportions right or at least believable if a comic style is what you go for.

Of courtse this is a matter of opinion.

The first image is nicely executed but the guy's torso is very long and the top part is bulging so much-- if you shorten it and make it a bit more narrow it will look much better. The belt area (i don't know how to call it in english) of the pants is ok, gun looks great!

Keep it up!

Very cool stuff. I'm with Erik on the first one though, his abdominal area is extremely lenthened, even for a stylized piece with the pants sagging down. That's the only thing that stands out.

Really really cool stuff though. Hope you plan on coloring them. Would love to them finished up like that.

thanks for the feedback guys. i see what you mean with the anatomy crits, i desperately need to get into a figure drawing class.

i do have one more character(more on the way). hes a russian mafia guy but i think he's too boring so i doubt i'll use him.
