Just some Pictures in my progress of drawing

[Sir_Elendor]

Hey guys since I'm on the Hive Im interested in Digital art and last month i finally got a tablet. Unfortunately I cant see Im getting better so maybe i thought you could give me some tips.

The things I just uploaded are just some sketchs and doodles but some serious works will be coming soon

Dont be nice. If its crap go ahead and say it!

Sup.

I was looking through your posted images and wanted to say that you're making a good job with the shading and you're using help lines, which can make you go far, with some practicing

But I must notify you at some points.

First off; draw a stickman for your origin for your image. This will make it easier to manipulate a natural stance of the creature you're drawing.

Second, the second image character got some roughly shaded spikes (or is it spikes?). I mean that the shadows are gathering at the same side (which shouldn't be a problem if he held his arms straight horizontal). You should redo the shadows after where you've put the 'light source' of the image.

Third, the third image have a quite large resolution and makes it impossible to see what it is when you enlarge it from the forums.

fourth and last, try to reshape that dragons head. It looks quite round.

I apology if I was to harsh with this critique, but as I told you earlier; if you keep practicing, will you become something for sure.


I do also want to recommend you to check out this website, where the most famous artists of blizzard are uploading their artwork. Check the website for some insperation and how you could improve your drawstyle.

nothing special, as always. just some free works, mindless and talentless. Rough and blurish. So, no reason reopen that gallery next time.

Hey, how can he improve if you're going to motivate him in that way? Try to be kind for Christ sake. If you can't be social so please hold your thoughts for your self.

Hey Some WiP here this will be my next project. A full coloured/shaded detailed Dark Knight.

Looks quite good

You should enlarge his right arm a bit. It looks too short (the left arm have a perfect length), and you should make the hands larger and add some holes to the helmet (so the knight can breath) as well.

But the stance looks really natural.

Good job!

 

[Sir_Elendor]

Well I tryed to improve what you said. Now I just coloured it. I know it looks plain but I dont want to shade/highlight it atm because I have one question. How can i make it look more like iron. I really dont know how to detail it or give it a "used" look. Maybe you could just give me a little hint

U see in my tone any hope about that author? I think better for him (avoid timewasting) to try hisself in else artworks, for example - sound edition or recording, cuz his painting skills are realy useless and unimprovable. also after next quote:

You want say that stance its natural? u kiddin? it looks like invalid with some butthurt as well. Btw, u think that positive comments will improve his skills? NEVER, my dear. He will belive that his works are good enough and he just will post more and more crapworks, and u will joy his works each time. NO REASON IMPROVE UR SKILLS WHEN ALL PPL PRAISE CURRENT SKILLS.

I hope u will understand my position.

 

[Sir_Elendor]

PeeKay thank you very much. What you say is what i wanted to hear. I wanted honest statements. You sad what you thought and thats okay.
I think you understand if I wont stop drawing and practicing just because someon said it was crap. It was just my very first work .

 

[Fjury]

Well, you can't always have that give negative critique. You must always notify at least one good thing the whole thing, in my opinion

 

[Sir_Elendor]

Forum bugg? i could swear 10 secs ago there was a giant post of fjury. where did it go? am i mad?

If i see talented, but unskilled person, i dont make negative destructive criticism, but when i see newbie far from skilled and far from talented - i will make mostly hard criticism that i can generate, cuz it better for that newbie to find a new hobby, hobby, where he will be better.

I felt that was an unecessary post. It's deleted.

This is the worst attitude I have ever seen. You know that even non talented persons can get better?
I can handle critique. But there are often people that cant handle with people like you. I really like your drawing. I saw every single drawing you made here on the Hive and I love it.

But with such an attitude you wont get far. This isnt the right way to go on a forum like this.

And of course I wont stop drawing just because some ignorant wannabe pro-artist thinks he could destroy the fun of drawing because he doesnt like it.

 

[Sir_Elendor]

Well yes should say if its crap. Didnt you read the post where I thanked him for his critique? This was ok. But his whole attitude about "non talented" people is what makes me angry.
