i can see improvement already! you should also draw in real life a lot, just with pencil and paper. I find that actual drawing is much easier than digital drawing, so if you learn actual drawing first and then digital drawing things will be a lot easier i think.
Your running into problems with forshortening in the arms. I suggest that you take a basic human model with a simple rigg and pose him in 3D so you can see how to draw the arm correctly. Or better yet have a friend or relative pose for you and you draw from life and draw what you see. When drawing from light drawing what…
why don't you post drawing updates sequentially? as in, when you reply, post the image there. it's a little hard to follow when you have to hunt down the image somewhere else in the thread. anyway, it's definitely an improvement. some of the best developed forms i've seen from you. his face needs features, even vaguely…
Perhaps you could try starting as small as possible and working up from there. That means that the character actually starts as a vertical line (which will also keep it from getting wonky) which you divide into eight sections after which you can roughly sketch out the forms and the detail after that. I think looking at the…
yeah, just like ComradeJ said it my suggestion for you would also be to start drawing stuff from a drawing book or photo off. it will become your very foundation. you will start to get enough feel for proportion and will enhance your visual libary of forms/.... dont stress yourself with the results too much, the goal will…
hehe... yeah... 21 hours on the plane.:D unfortunately all my small sketchbooks have been shipped already, and i'd buy another if a) i didn't have 3 already and; b) i (we) had some Rupees left [its all canadian dollars now and what rupees we have must be kept 'in case'] i do have a A4 size sketchbook on which i was…
Following on from everyone's anatomy advice I recently spoke to my mentor who is a fine artist he told me rather than sitting down and learning all the muscles in side out. Sit down and try to look at how the mass of a human being compiles together. That way he explained to me you will be able to construct drawings, which…
alright you little rascal, you've escaped my wrath for far too long now. but i'm back home now and fully in control of my wacom again, ready to paint-over all your weak sauce! first thing's first: you are hereby banned from using photoshop to color your concepts until further notice. color is important, but your linework…
sounds like a big move, Abhishek. traveling is good for working on drawing, though--what you really ought to do is buy some sort of bound sketchbook, anything so long as it doesn't have lined paper. ring-bound, leather bound, traditional hardback, look in the journal section of bookstores and ask if they have any…
well done Abhishek. it's too bad you drew this one on lined paper, because i think it looks pretty good. i won't say i told you so (or chastise you for drawing thumbnails waaaay too big or drawing on lined paper ), but notice how much better he looks when you draw him at an angle instead of front-on? glad you took the time…
