If you couldn't view the pics, just refresh it one more time.

sorry

[Tedsuo]

Very cool. The last one is especially well rendered. Your figures seem a little stiff though. I would suggest emphasizing the line of action in the poses more, to make them more supple.

[Zonk]

Wow, very nice stuff!



Only in the first pic the left eye seems to be a little smaller an higher than the right one.

:thumbsup:

[Elwell]

The heads seem too small on a bunch of them. Idealised figures do tend to have proportionally smaller heads, but it comes from lengthening the neck, torso and especially the legs, not just shrinking the head.

Loomis has a good diagram of this (pp.28 of Figure Drawing For All It's Worth) showing figures drawn at 7 1/2, 8, 8 1/2, and 9 heads tall.

[Rickxu]

Thanks guys.
I want to draw the lines supple not just stiff. I think keeping ease when I draw lines may help a lot. how do you think about it? your experience?

[siskol p]

damn man you've really got some skill there, how long did you spend rendering that last one, the light on her is GORGEOUS!! (not to mention the fact that your figure looks incredibly hot =) )
but anyway you're really kickin it with the pencils i'd like to see what you can do with some black conte and an eraser.

keep on postin man

[DragonGX]

As far as crits, I only see small anatomy problems. You render very well, although you could contrast your drawings a bit more, maybe use a darker pencil... they seem very light..

Also I would work on faces and heads. They all seem to be off in most of your drawings, and with little details.. for example in the portrait, the left eye is way out there and the eyebrow is off..

Keep practicing, drawing from life. Its the best way to improve!

[DragonGX]

Also, your drawings would be ALOT better off if you finsihed them!

I can see that youre trying to stay away from hands and feet, but if you dont draw them, you wont improve!

[MANTICROSS]

I see a really common problem that alot of the times the artist doesnt realize. your work is great, I love these sketches, but you suffer from drawing at a bad angle. you can be drawing an amazing pic, such as being stuck at work, and having the pad on one side, while doing other things. some people draw from the perspective they view, and it looks great, but you have a small problem when it comes to looking at it dead on. You can find more proof of this if you mirror the image.

something not to be ashamed of, happens to me all the time.

good luck lets see more soon.

[Rickxu]

Thanks so much, DragonGX. you are absolutely right!
I really stayed away some part of which I am not good at. you have got the bright eyes to point out this. em, maybe I don't know the best way to did the hands and feet well. or I am just lack of pratice. so I'll study them and draw, draw and draw.

thanks guys. I hope I could draw the right structure of human body, then I will turn to the animals.
This is a long way but full of fun.

and give me a lot of c & c, it reallyhelps me.

MANTICROSS, you give me another point of view of drawing from the pics. I notice what you said. right, I want to know how to make the figure more alive! this is a important and meaningful question. just let's discuss it. ok?
:clapping2

[Rickxu]

again, if you could not see the pics, just refresh the explorer more times. sorry.

[DragonGX]

Hm.. you seem to be having problems drawing eyes. Remember these things when you are drawing eyes. there should be 5 eye widths across the face. one inbetween the 2 eyes and one width on each side of their eyes. GEt waht I am saying? Its kind of hard to explain.. you seem like you are drawing them too big and spaced apart, which gives your faces an "alien" look. There are guides for faces all over on the ineternet, so if you looked up facial proportions, youll see exactly what I mean. There are alot of measurements on the face which make alot of difference when you know what you are looking for. You swound like youve really got the spirit, so go try what I said and post soem more drawings! you can do it!

[Rickxu]

here comes some pics

[Mykro]

These are fun, I actually used the same reference as you on the last pic on the first post. Good on you!
Peace

[Aidan]

Wow, I really like the last portrait. Good line weights and shading at the eyes.
Much better than your first one posted, imho.
Shading on the nudes is also very cool.
Would like to see some characters ore illustrations.

[Rickxu]

hi, all.
Mykro, that's so fun. I like the model most, so just drew her.
Aidan, Thanks for your words. I'll keep drawing.

here just add two drawings, try to make them as my thought,but still need your advice to improve.

(btw, if the pics not shown, just refresh them one more time)

[sandgrain]

what kinds of references are you using for each of these?

it would be interesting to see which ones are life study and which are photo study.

[Rickxu]

aha,all are pic study.LOL

here is the body, not very good of the shape


just refresh the pic again and again until you could see it.
sorry for inconvenient.

[Rickxu]

I was feeling so enjoyed during the process of drawing this pic. however when i nearly finished it, I found that the body and the head is not very in correct proportion. what a pitty.
then I could feel that next time when I was drawing body, I should definitely be careful of the relationship every part of the body not just focus on the shadow and the lighting.
hope you give some words to me.
:)

BTW, could you please tell me where could I find the free website space for uploading some personal pics? Thanx a lot.
:D
