AngeUnge's Sketchies - comments and critiques welcome

**AngeUnge** · December 26th, 2012, 11:14 PM

hey! i ended up doing some super fun sketches last night! they're not much, but to me they represent the thing i've gotten the most enjoyment out of my art in a long time.

body poses for a character! emotion and action and adjective practice with the body!

this guy was fun, timing myself on digital sketching. no reference used, and i need some critique on the pose. clothing weight and limb weight/dimention is something i struggle with frequently u _u thanks!

about 40% through a commission, decided to do speedpainting and shadowing... my strength is in lines, sketches and inks... not sure this was a good idea, but thoughts? critique?

Very good stuff here... loving the natural style and the expressive lines. Looking forward to more!

**AngeUnge** · February 5th, 2013, 07:46 AM

today i drew a Sheik. i was going with fast motion lines, and instead of being careful with ink strokes instead i just went all over the place.

I love your expression and story telling with your posing.

Also love that in post 33 you added muscles for the extra arms and the way you have the guy move. It's always odd looking when people just draw 4-6 arms that move with magic and are weightless.

**Cloud-Yo!** · March 4th, 2013, 11:42 AM

some really nice sketches here...but wink-boar is my favourite! should be my avatar! XD

**Xcarbon** · March 4th, 2013, 12:50 PM

your art reminds me of the good ol times when i used to sit down and read mangas whole day

keep up the good work .....

**AngeUnge** · March 18th, 2013, 01:16 AM

Jared D: thank you! i try to pull as much energy into expressing emotion and story into my art as possible. the real intrigue behind art, concept and otherwise for me, is when i start asking "ok so what does this cool person/creature/thing DO in their story? what is their purpose?"

and yes, unless a creature is exclusively like... ether or ethereal magic, it bothers me if the muscle/anatomy construction doesn't make at least some sort of pseudo-sense :o

Cloud-Yo: thanks! hehe, if you want to go for it, just put like a link-back to the post if you do :>

Xcarbon: haha, well, i spent a lot of my childhood doing that so i guess it rubs off. thanks!

and here we go, lets see what i have

another something from a dream. running around in some undercity subway system. is it a... husky mutant thing? nO IDEA *shrug*

finding more things to put.

I missed her. I've missed drawing them. is this what it feels like to have children who don't call very often?

some quick sketch of another mafia character. she washes the dishes?

forest monster time!~

an old shoe still life i forgot to put here

and a Slothcat for a friend :>

EDIT: adding more cuz i drew more shit today instead of doing schoolwork ehuhgh...

a melting giraffe and some glyphs. i've been putting down abstract glyphs that come sometimes when i doodle. tso far they're fun, interpret what you will. i just like the simplicity of them. these are newer ones. maybe i'll upload my older ones some other time.

**Mewball** · March 18th, 2013, 07:27 PM

neat concepts and nice style! Good work, but I do agree with iamkennstan that you should post more finished stuff!!

**Xcarbon** · March 19th, 2013, 06:56 AM

**AngeUnge** · April 1st, 2013, 04:34 PM

Mewball: thanks! and ^

Xcarbon: thankyou! the shoes are fun, but take a while :> and no... no dancing :B

Joe777k7: ima try to post more!

Really enjoying your figures =] I would try to lean them up a little though, try just using one confident line for each stroke. Keep up the hard work!

**GrayPersona** · April 5th, 2013, 01:18 PM

good that you practice gestures and imagination type stuff,balance that with life studies and exercises that will help you see form.
also perspective studies would really help you in the long run.
keep it up.

**AngeUnge** · April 10th, 2013, 06:21 PM

V3T: thank you for the advice! the goal is to get to as little lines as possible. :3
GrayPersona:thanks, I try to make sure i don't only fall into one category or the other. i've neglected som etrue perspective studies simply because i don't have the time or the set-up right now to devote to a long-term one. thank you though!

small update soon when the image uploader works again
