Ok this is my first ever concept, of an are I'm planning to make, I'm still learning so any crits are good crits

Guess it's a bit too generic to cause a comment haha. Oh well I had fun doing the lighting, which I spent far too much time on btw.

woody_294 · Sep 2010

No-one got any crits fer meh

Was it that it's a thumb or just that it's boring?

Ok, how bout this shocker?

You have basic understanding of drawing wich's really great. The next step is to start studing anatomy, perspective law and digital painting. Its not necessarly going to be easy but i can see that you have sleeping talent that want to get out.

Best advice that i can give you is : work hard, study hard and it will all come together in the next few month's and years.

Inspirationnal tread(browse around them to see their progression)

DarkStar · Oct 2010

Take them in news papers,magazine and book. You can do quick pose with this site http://www.posemaniacs.com/ . Try the 30 sec drawing and the other tool. :cool:

Cool site. Thanks mate I'll give it a go.

Hi there! I'll give you some crits on the female posture you did. Some general features when trying to portrait a female body, are ofcourse the forms of the female. Some guidelines are; shoulders and hips are almost at the same vertical line - when looking from the front(makes the waist look smaller than it really is). Try and project those forms on the posture you did, and you'll get a more feminin look on her.

Overall I like the pose alot since it adds to her personality. Keep it up dude

P.S. posemaniacs.com is an awesome page.

Another great page is -> http://www.characterdesigns.com | To the left under Photoset, you can find alot of great poses and such.

Hi eoq

Thanks for the crits, I think I'll do that and slim down the waist, she's pretty straight on the ref photo but I don't mind slimming it down if you think it'll make a better picture!

Thanks for the link, Bookmarked

Something I'm working on, along with my anatomy studies, I've been doing that Posemaniacs 30 seconds thing once a day or so (thanks DarkStar!!) and I used some ref photos from the characterdesigns for this (thanks Eoq!!) and hopefully she doesn't look dislocated! The original pic is a screenshot from Super Streetfighter 4. I had a lot of problems with the pelvis area so I spent a lot of time on that, this is quite rough and I plan to colour it at some point

I tried to take the stylized picture (which is badly pixelated!) and make it into a real person style pose. I learned a lot I think.

C&C if you have time please!

woody_294 · Oct 2010

ok, I don't want to make a mess of this so i thought I'd post this up to see if anyone has any crits about the form of this guy, anyone got any crits for me?
