New artist, need CRITIQUE

**BAN_KAI** · July 12th, 2010, 08:43 AM

So guys this is my 1st post after i waited for 5 days for the staff members to approve my registration , i heard a lot about this site, how it was actually one of the best art related site on the net, and by now i think its really awesome, i have seen some awesome arts on DA but its nothing compared to what artists do here

.

So about this thread, well i was doing just normal anime coloring for maybe 2 years and i think i perfected it but i recently started painting stuff,, and i need some serious CRITIQUE on what to improve.
Well i think my biggest problem is the Hair,lips but the other stuff i can do without any problem, i would also like to know if i blend,smudge the skin tones correctly.

I allways used PSCS2 and i only have a mouse that i bought for 1Euro

So this is some stuff that i made in this month, i actually post a lot of works daily cause i have tons of time xD.

Welcome Ban Kai looks like you have a good imagination and motivation, I unfortunately can't see the bigger pics (my work computer won't let me) however I can see from the thumbs that you could do with practicing drawing from life. It's not as exciting granted but if all you have done so far is anime it'll definitely benefit you to go back to the basics (I try to regularly)

There is Loomis, and Bridgeman you can download free pdf's (if you haven't already heard of them) they have great advice about getting the most out of drawing people and making your poses dynamic.

There is also some good advice here http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=112
