Character and creature Design

Hi~ I'm relatively new here, I'd thought I'd try my hand at posting some artwork in a forum. Hope you enjoy my designs : D

hey, these are cute! the split colors in the first one remind me of trix yogurt

I'd say don't worry so much about the colors at this point, though. Start a sketchbook, and upload lots and lots of anatomy studies in traditional medium - things to work on are: proportion (lots of charts on this, especially loomis, explaining what size everything is in comparison to other parts of the body and where things should be placed), skeleton and muscle studies, gesture, life drawing, etc. It will take a lot of time practicing all these things to understand them enough to incorporate them into your style (trust me, I'm doing it now and it's a long road ahead), but I can tell you will do great stuff with it!

thank you ever so much for the pointers, I understand that anatomy is one of the largest challenges. I think I'll take you up on that offer and begin a sketch book. I will try my best without looking at anatomy, I usually try to draw from my head only since it seems to work a lot better. Thanks very much for the tips I'll get right on it ^ ^
