Just so you know, it's not hard to see that you didn't paint those last ones yourself. Simple photoshop-filters over pics you downloaded off the net. I can see that some of them are home-made.
Look, photoshopping pics that someone else made won't help you get any better. At this stage, what you need is to just draw lots and lots with a pencil on paper.
Seriously, stop that filtering (Or paint-overs or whatever it is)

yer i'm not even gna hide tht i painted over some o them but most of them are actually just re-painted with references but you can tell which ones i actually painted over cuz they sitll have bits of the picture there and also the vertical labret pic = proof that i re-paint with using a reference ;_;

ps i understand now tht the tone in ur comment wuz offense because u think that i'm jus claimin them as my own maybe i shudda sed in my response tht i was uploadin some old stuff i did as practice (along with some stuff i did by myself just usin a reference)

k so i'll do tht now

numbers: 1 2 4 5 7 8 14 15 19 22 23 25 26 = paint-overs done for practice and

3 6 9 10 11 12 13 16 17 18 20 21 24 = done with references (but re-painted myself) OR done completely from scratch (those ones are easy to tell lol)

Well, I guess all I can say is keep practicing. Drawing is something that takes several years to learn, and several lifetimes to master.
But I can already see that you've made a bit of progress, which is always a good thing.

**aldous_huxley** · June 10th, 2008, 06:57 PM

thanks a lot!

Hey man, go pick up an anatomy book and draw out of it till your hands fall off, you'll notice huge improvements, also when drawing from life it is equally important to actually look at what you are drawing as it is to make marks on your page.

**aldous_huxley** · June 11th, 2008, 11:00 AM

thank you for the advice

i just really started picking up on drawing like about a week ago (i am not kidding before this i used to draw stick people)

i decided i really wanted to learn HOW to draw and i figured this would be the perfect site to get critique and information

New Stuffz

**aldous_huxley** · June 13th, 2008, 02:45 PM

new stuff i went to an art gallery today and sketched out some of the paintings to try to understand different styles unfortunately it wasn't a solo outing i went with my psych ward troupe (i live in a programme called ACT in halifax) so i didn't get as much time to myself as i wanted to but i got a lot of drawing done
