Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some sort of mechanic and a Mexican guy... I was drawing on paper for a change. I drew the mechanic without any guidelines or whatever, but I made a light wireframe for the Mexican guy. Well, these are the two poses I'm most familiar with, so I didn't really learn anything. Any advice/critique is more than welcome, though.

Well, I already know the sombrero on the Mexican's back isn't a nice circular shape. Also, I hold my pencil weird and drag my hand along the page when I draw, so it smudges things... This picture wasn't meant to be some serious piece of art, so I didn't bother putting a blank sheet of paper under my hand to avoid smudging.


I think there's a problem with the Mexican's hips/thighs maybe, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

I kinda worry about putting too many folds in things at times, lol. Where do you think the extra folds should be around? And I just noticed the pant leg on our right doesn't reach down as far.
Do you have any tips for giving the legs a bit of curve without making him look feminine? Or do I just literally have to give it a little bit more curve?

Indeed, good points. I suppose I'll take a look at a few pictures of people in jeans to observe the folds/wrinkles around the knees and try to apply it to my art next time.
