bah still cant sleep started taking out the blacks, fixed the forearm and hand a bit. Gona wake up tomorrow with less bloodshot eyes and have a look at it.. lol.. Ill take a picture of my eyes
Looks alot better with colors. You should try putting some more into the hands and maybe putting some more emotion into the face. A little less bored/tedious and a bit more with the panic/drowning.
Really like this doodle, synth. Traditional or digital?
I need some opinions on this thumb. Trying for a fantasy environment, got thus idea off a speed paint that a giant bird returns to find her eggs tampered with. Still need to draw whatever will be the egg thief. Not sure what it should be.
GurtPerk - I'm not sure if all of this is personal preference, but this is what I wanted to see. I like the composition, I think it just needed some changed in the flow lines. Also, by putting some of the giant bird behind the foreground, I think it creates more depth.
i think that if you put some more detail in the shadowed foliage, and in the process make it less triangular, it'll help pull the viewer in more. Maybe throw in the egg thief as he escapes in there as well.
This is a quick sketch of my work in progress for the Pinup challenge. (Reference used for pose) It needs a lot of work and refinement and I would appreciate feedback.
Self-critique: The legs seems off, shape wise and maybe proportionally. Hands need a lot of work.
mensch, thane, RC- Thanks, I really like the idea of putting the egg thief in the foreground now.
F87- That's also a good idea with placing more of the bird behind the foreground.
I like your pinup drawing, F87. Sexy office woman. The legs being held up are kind of throwing me off though. I think she'd look more voluptuous if her legs were closer together and laid flat, crossed at the ankles, with maybe her hips turned towards the viewer. I'd also think about having her look at the viewer and making the hands more dynamic.
I'm going to have to go with the crossed leg idea, and tag on stockings/garter belt, plus some bra showing(not too excessive). Think Mad Men, it reminded me of that show
also leave the profile and tilt her head towards the viewer a bit, i think it would help

Man, looking really good! *thumbs-up! One of the best pics youve done so far because the idea is solid. If you really want the dude to bump out, i think adding a little bit of cool reds in the shadows would help.

Traditional. Mechanical pencils for the initial linework, then regular pencils once the form got better defined.

Legg, watch your foreshortening, especially on the arms, it's reading really flat. Try using cylindindrical shapes to work out how to place them. Also, he has no neck, I know you're looking top down, but necks are still there even if you can't see them.
Although now something about the picture's story bugs me. The eggs are on a nest on a tiny crag and it's a very nice visual, but how did the momma bird sit on the nest to lay those eggs?
Leg- I'd say use the eyebrows for more expression. The right arm looks passable, but I also don't quite agree with the choice of cutting the hand off. Either I'd show all the hand or nothing. I also noticed my eye dumping off at empty spots in the background, heavily towards the right side. I would also experiment bringing that tentacle around behind the figure's head to create a stronger silhouette and maybe break up those empty holes.
Food for thought really. It's fine as is, but this could stand to be pushed further.

Was your aunt a watermelon?
Wait, is your aunt wassermelone? It would all make so much sense.

also, when youre making the egg thief put him out closer to the foreground so the story behind your picture is more obvious.
I don't know.

F87 - figures are getting better.

As for egg thieves, it should be a weasel.
Synth- Oh man, I have to do one with a weasel now. So adorable.
Aw man you totally beat me to it
T^T

Huh, y'know, never would have thought of it that way. Although, I think maybe the rocks would need to be a little closer still.
And the ankle!
....and her arms too!
[edit] jesus christ her arms, her arms!
anyway i say leave as is. It works on manga-ish flail all about kinda way
Like a framework, see:
you went and gave her a waist
peer pressure wins again
Yeah, no good, make her like a real woman. Make that ass three times the size and instead of guns, hamburgers.
Dustin off the tablet since I fixed my computer today. delving back in
