[Pixeldragoon]

Post up sone life drawings. Looks like you have a somewhat firm grip on prespective, and your folds look close to accurate, specially on the biker guy's pants.

[willpaxton]

Ok i am starting to be a little mor real if you know what i mean i just draw these out of enjoyment for animated style.

here something i was messing around in gimp



my scanner cannot scan my light pencil drawing (its just cuts them like in half) so ill have to darken them a little before i put them on so here some watercolors






page of sketch book



i can always use crits!

[Pixeldragoon]

I cant do watercolor worth crap. I really like the bush and the door. Still not many crits to give. Just keep practicing!

[willpaxton]

haha alrighty thanks. ill start working on some more life pics while continuing to post other pics i have.

[Odds]

hey man. great ideas/concepts. but, as many people that are starting off in drawing, you need to work on your anatomy and "drawing" skills in general. by drawing skills i mean observation and hand-eye coordination skills. you can improve both of these at the same time by drawing from life atleast an hour a day. this will always help your drawings. also, pick up some books about anatomy, as well as sign up for some life/figure drawing courses! keep up the good work.

[willpaxton]

Ive been drawing for a while and like i said this are just some fun concepts. And i am gonna start drawing more life pics although i have to admit i find these more interesting...Thanks for the comments though.

[willpaxton]

here another idea for the dragon head.

[emilpaun]

I like that dragon head. Wish it weren't on paper with lines, though.

[willpaxton]

Thank you haha yea that is one of the disadvantages about drawing in class.... its hard to carry one of my sketchbooks in class and not get caught drawing. I just kind of added to that thing all day.

Here are a couple o pen drawings i know the jester guys face is a little weird. But that is one of the disadvantages of pen you can't go back and fix stuff very easily. My scanner butchers these detailed pen drawings though.

[willpaxton]

here some more but man my scanner is craptapulous the shadiing on the little guy is just killed by it but gimme crits.

[willpaxton]

coloring practice........cause i really need it.

[cthomp]

well besides the need to improve on your anatomy skills i noticed that you only draw profile and head on views. i would try some 3/4 veiws.

[willpaxton]

your right thank you

[willpaxton]

alrighty here a 3/4 view and im gonna keep workin on them

if anyone has a good site for anatomy please post it up thanks!



its not done i dont have time tonight so ill finish this bad boy tomarrow if i have time cause i have a soccer game... but ill post it when im done

[willpaxton]

ok i was only able to work a little more in the knight cause im pretty tired right now.

[SupaFightingRobot]

read some Loomis at www.fineart.sk or http://www.saveloomis.org/

[willpaxton]

Ok you guys have me convinced i will post some anatomy drawings sometime today or this evening.

[willpaxton]

heres some stuff not that great i know but hey...

[willpaxton]

Ok its been a few days but i jammed my thumb in a soccer game really bad so i havent been able to draw. Here some eyes.

[Danilo]

Some things are good here. You need to draw a lot from real life. Take some simple stuff (glasses, chairs, shoes...) and try to draw it exactly as they is! Draw also big images (50/30 cm).
You need lot to learn about anatomy and perspective. Brush is not good only for words. Use all materials u can find.

[Ham-e]

[willpaxton]

I know brush is not only good for words haha i was just a messing around writing with one and it was the first thing to come out. I take it the smiley means you like it??

[willpaxton]

this guys hips are really messed up i know but i figured id post

[JokingClown]

The (our left) right hand of the knight is much too small. Maybe you were trying to fit it on the paper?

You have some great drawings here. I would draw some close up faces here, and let people critique them. Your skills are less noticeable in that area.

[willpaxton]

Here are some pen drawings. I know the pub looksrealy flat and the angle of the florr is messed up but im gonna do some perspective studies.





ok this is for a t shirt contest it is not the whole shirt only the center this is the second time i did they lettering and this is why it is so crappy. I will put the original design on but i ahve to make the words "easier to read".







the pub /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ was greatly rediced in size.....

[willpaxton]

ahh here the original uncolored copy i think i have it colored somewhere but o well please tell me which lettering you like more i like this one.

[m00ftak]

yo yo yo will what up son. these are nice. there is definite improvement which im sure is encouraging. by the way, that calligraphy is really impressive. maybe you should work a little more with lettering; you seem to have a knack for it. I need to practice up on that myself.

that tree looks phat as hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[willpaxton]

Moof thanks for the positive feedback i like tha tree too. And yea if i go into an art career it will most likely be graphic design because i really like lettering.
Here all i have been able to get off in that past two days. I have soccer everyday after school and my thumb is still jammed pretty bad . But i will try to keep at it.

[emilpaun]

Those trees are just sick Very "graphic-designy"
Where are the anatomy studies?
Don't forget to go to the tutorials and photography/reference forums, and you'll find there plenty of stuff to inspire you.
Keep up.
