Welcome, The only advise i got so far is post post post and dont ever stop. This is a great site! And its good your starting young, I wish i would have pushed myself hard at that age. Good job on the perspective with alot of the shapes. Some flaws but good start. Cant wait to see more

[werdnA]

Edit the draw in a design program ( photoshop or corelpaint)...rotate... go to size of image ... and change the height or the width to 400-700 pixels depending on how big do you want it to be. Save it and send it...
That´s a clap track..? Keep posting Man.. and Enjoy!!

Hi there,

When i joined this forum helpful members here gave me some valuable advise. those are,

1. Keep a sketchbook, Update frequently.
2. Draw from Life and References(photos etc). That knowledge will help you later when you start drawing from your imagination.
3. Read Books regarding Human Anatomy.

Im following all those advises and i can see now they are very effective. So i would suggest you do the same. Anyways your off to a good start, for sure. Keep practicing and keep posting.

Hope to see more of your work. try posting daily. Good luck.

I like the swamp monster
Do you use an anatomybook? Those can be realy helpfull with learning to draw skulls and the human figure in general.

[werdnA]

[Ramalooke]

Hi there . I see a bright future ahead you. That’s good that you are doing figure studies, and keep them coming, but at this moment you should rather focus on basic shapes, and structure of objects. Do still life studies, and remember that everything you can see is made of basic geometrical shapes. Check out some books with drawing basics, and draw, draw as much as you can. I wish you luck Cheers.

EDIT: And I almost forgot, do not smudge your pencil works with finger or anything like that it's looks crapy ;p

[werdnA]

Ramalooke - thanks man i cant believe you notic i used my finger ha your good i'll practice not doing that, and i guess i better start on a still as of right now! i'll post it up hopefully tomorrow
