Welcome to Gaia! ::

You're hiding something.
Do you really want to do that?

Aside from that, the perspective on the face is a little awkward. It seems like the eyes and the face structure are set to the side at a more distinct angle than the nose and the lips.

Other than, really cool.

Okay, now your art isn't as horrible as some other s**t I've seen today, but I have to say, your style isn't the most original. Your anatomy is lacking, which is a failing point for many artists. I've said this a million times today, but it looks like you studied someone else's style for your knowledge of anatomy, which, instead of making an accurate figure, caused you to create a distortion of a distortion of correct anatomy. That's not good. It doesn't make your art memorable.

Also, studying anatomy from life can improve your art so much. You want to create a "sexy" torso, learn which muscles create the smooth contours of a torso. I personally see how lacking your full-body poses are. Instead of continuing to draw torso or bust shots, drawing full figures rather than avoiding them can help you improve your weakness.

A final note, get your own originality.


I'm sorry, but could u maybe be a little positive? I understand u are trying to be constructive with your critic, but truthfully it helps if u put in a few things that are good about the piece. It's very pesimist. Maybe point out a few flaws or your advice u have above then say something posotive about the piece/pieces. Also, i would like to point out that there is no need to bring other people's art into the matter. if you think other people have shitty art thats nice for u. again, negativity can be on a lower scale. Pleace take this into consideration.
Thank-You

Though it is well drawn, the nude-ness of the 1st one kinda disturbs me a bit.... pants....?


My initial sketch probably would've included trousers had I not reached the bottom of the page and lacked any more space to draw.
Being that it's complete though, I like it better with him as being nude.

Besides, what's wrong with nudity? The human body is beautiful.


lol, true dat, true dat.... I'm glad your not afraid to go there. Thats Awesome 4 u!!
Aww ;O; Thank you so much sweety. *feels honored *_* * I never get compliments like that, at least not very often if so XD. So It means a lot to me ;w; <333333!!!!! They yellow costume I worked super hard on.. my friend helped me with the other two because shes good at jump suits. But damn.. the black vinyl diamonds on the most recent one... made me want to burn my eyes out ;A;.

Well, I'll take the first little bit as a compliment, I suppose.
Yes, I know it's not original. It's anime-ish. I can't speak for everyone else, but I can't imagine someone actually sitting down and somehow convincing themselves drawing in an anime style is original. Did I look as if I was aiming for originality here?

Secondly, Yes, my anatomy has issues. However, I don't sit there looking at drawings to learn how to do the human figure, I'm not stupid, thank you. I DO draw people life and waste my time doing figure drawings when there's nothing else to do.
Admittingly, I DO have a lot to learn as far as muscle builds go. Being a bit of a lover of the "thin and girly" type of men, and mostly drawing them as such, has probably crippled my growth to an extent, I can't deny that.

Lastly, I don't really believe in originality.
If you think you're the first to do it, say it, create it, wear it, love it... Many others have gotten to it before you.
Would you rather I draw in a more western or marvel style to appease you? 'cause heaven knows that's just as original (in all seriousness, I constantly hear people rag on anime-style art for it's unoriginality, yet if you do something in a more typical western style I don't see that kind of commentry?).
With that, I'll draw in a way that makes ME happy, as I draw for myself, not to please the masses.

Despite how short I may sound, it was nice to hear/read an ACTUAL comment outside of "<3" or something. It makes me feel like you're actually looking at what's being done, yanno?
Thanks.


Yeah, I was kind of in an assish mood last night...

What I meant by "get your own originality," is not that I believe you should draw western, I have a slight leaning to the eastern style in my art, myself... what I meant was more draw from real life, then develop a style you like... it looked as though you had studied someoen else's style...

And I really didn't mean that comment to be entirely negative, I do see that you do have skill, I just feel as though in this sea of greater than threes, (<3), I have to be a bit more edgy to get my point across... I figure you've already heard enough of the "it iz rlly gud." So I didn't post it in my post...

o_o I really haven't the foggiest of ideas on what you're talking about.

Yeah, the face does need some work. Too late on this one, but I'll pay better attention the next time around.
Thanks.

ack, I somehow missed this o__o;

first, your avatar is lookin' awesome!

Well, the effort you put into the outfits was well worth it. As I said, they looks great!
Wow!
Come to Missouri.
I want art lessons!
Very nice ^^ I really like the way you colour and the shading is rather well done ^^ And excellen job on the hands. Though there is something about the hips that bothers me but I just can't put my finger on it... Maybe it's just where the 'shrubbery' (or boa) covering a part of him like that that gives off that impression.

Can't wait to see that little elf all finished and coloured ^^

YOU HEARD ME. OwO

Eh, I think I was just talking about the "boa"/sash covering up a very dark line where the left-hand side of the torso was about to...I don't know, not properly attach to the hip?

There's also a hand of the right blocking in the same way.

I was just curious if that was pre-destined or because you were "doin' it wrong."

oh, haha XD
"YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!" XD

No, my initial sketch was done like that, so the end result (aside from the muck up on the face) was intentional ^^;
The more I look at the hips, since someone else mentioned them, the more I'm bothered by them :T
I LOVE his face. (The first picture.)
