So ...O_o I've never done a picture of a vampire before.
My cousin wanted a vampire from me real bad, so I drew him this! 3nodding I really need some feedback on just a few things:
1) Back ground and color: what to do?
2) What his shirt should look like or if he should just go without?
3) What kind of effects can I add?
4) What color her hair should be and the ribbon holding her hair up?
5) A title: Unashamed, bloodlust, etc. Give me ideas off of the first impression you had~*
Here's the link!

It can be a little slow around here. ^_^;

What I notice about your art is that you have quite a good sense of anatomy and your faces look reaaally nice.

I think the main thing you could work on is smoothing out your lineart and a bit more CG practice.

The lineart is quite scratchy. I'm not sure what you use to make it... if you have a tablet, or scan in drawn art.

If you scan in your lineart, after doing it in pencil, go over it in a really fine pen. Just being careful with your pen is all it really takes to get smooth lineart. For example, I did this one in ballpoint pen only: [x]

If you do use a tablet, I guess it's just a matter of practice. n_n; Just keep going over your lines with the pen tool and erasing the scratchy parts.

CGing also takes a lot of practice, and I think you could work a bit on your shading.

Most of the skin shown in your pictures isn't really shaded at all, and the black items are shaded very sharply. Looking over some CG tutorials might help out. I think there are a few good ones posted in the Tutorials sticky.

Welcome to the guild, by the way. XD

[edit] I'll come back and comment on the first picture after school. xb

Thanks! That really helps!
In fact, I'll try that with my next picture 3nodding thanks!
Yeah, I'm a REAL beginner at CGing sweatdrop So I definately needed that instruction and help

Oh and to answer your question, I do ink and then scan in my pictures! I try real hard to make it smooth, but I really think that it's the pen that I have sweatdrop it's not even an art pen! It's one of those bleeding ones that you have to just barely skim the picture with to avoid bleeding through gonk how annoying!
lol but yes, I'm working to find a good set of pens. What are the best kinds, do you know? I know that Copic markers are just amazing, but I need some outlining pens too. *sighs* It's about time I updated my art utensils *glares at sharpie* lol!
I also am trying to get my photoshop onto this computer, but my computer is already pretty slow, so I've been using Photoimpression (which sucks) for quite some time. *ugh* They only have TWO brushes! xp So I've gotten into this style where I brush on the cruddy brush, then blur the edges. it doesn't create the effect that I truly want, but it looks better with the blurred color in my opinion.
But I am very much a beginner in the CGing world here! sweatdrop These are really the only pictures that I've really ever tried in a CGing program, so I could definately use some tutoring and help!
Glad I joined the guild then! xd
Thanks so much for your help and I look forward to your crit on my WIP! 3nodding I hope that you can catch some flaws in the bud before I complete it, then suggestions on where to go from there always help as well! smile

Oh and here's another one that I just finished today gonk It was for a contest that I just found about yesterday, so I had to color it during school with colored pencils.
User Image
I tried to make the lines smoother as far as the pen goes, but I think that the colored pencils kinda dull it out *sighs* Oh well, you have to experiment with all kinds of art utensils, right? sweatdrop ehehe.
Her arm ended up a bit on the skinny side sweatdrop . And I think one eye is bigger than the other. And yet, this picture was done in a hurry for a very very late contest entry, so I did what I could with the time that I had!

Oh, not to mention her mouth got all screwed up thanks to my friend Anwar. T__T....damn him xp lol. He just took the pen and was like, "Well, I can help. If you just take the mouth and--....oh, shoot....O_o" and that's the last time I let anyone touch my pictures xp eheh.

Hmm...some critique on the girl with the OMG hat and CoCo:

Her back looks a little stiff to me. To fix this, you could make it a bit more curved. Also, her a** is a little bit off. The face is excellent though.

In general, in your drawings, I've noticed that sometimes the facial features won't really be aligned correctly or symmetrically. This isn't a terrible problem, just something you might want to work on a bit. I like that your style is more realistic. Oh, and the one with the kitten is excellent, I think that's my favorite.

^_^ Keep up the good work!
