Opinion please...

hi guys,

i'm new here. i'm just a beginner to concept art. Until this time I just used to copy other drawings....

I just drew one of my concepts. I drew the Hindu god of snakes (known as Vaasuki). It's my 1st complete work. I also painted it in Photoshop. But I personally think this work didn't achieve the result I expected.

I want views from all of you....regarding my mistakes or whatever.

Hope you guys will help me.

Hi there, welcome to ConceptArt, Radon :D

I would recommend U to study a bit more drawing, especially the human body. U can do this by go to nude figure study classes or buy a book in the subject. The link www.fineart.sk can also be helpful, aswell as the refence section here in CA.

U can also take part in the daily sketchgroup here at CA (DSG for short - U need IRC - asylumnet.org #sketch).

Try maybe to draw (loose sketches) about one hour a day - they say that gives improvement in a year.

If, judging by your style, U want to draw not-so-average people, maybe the marvel superhero drawing guides can be helpful too.

Once in a while - do a bigger thing, a project, drawing and color it in a few weeks.

And dont be afraid of copying - we all need crutches in the beginning. :D

U have just embarked on a jorney that U can travel all your life - nothing brings me joy and satisfaction like drawing.
Good luck :chug:


PS - repost this on Work in Progress - DS

Draw, draw, draw.

Never give up and never surrender.

"Keep having meetings, of minds and of heart. Keep drawing, keep throwing drawings away.
Make it good, make it better, make it so good that "they" have to want it" - Walt Disney.

My first 10 years, full time, with only pencils, paid off. Now I can draw in my sleep. Some people are born with that raw talent and others, like me, work hard at it everyday, pushing oneself, a learner for life.
