Every so often I do a cartoon movie poster for my site. The last one I posted here got mixed results so I'll show a few more here and see what people think.

As for this? This doesn't even warrant an original reply.

Start with the absolute basics, you need to learn them before moving forward.
Go suck a dick asshole. If you've got something serious to say about how to make a piece better than do that. However, flaming is fucked up.
I've recently started using shading, which these two pieces don't have. Let me show you an example and let me know if you think it looks better (I feel it does).
Every time someone says something sucks about your art, you do not seem to understand.
Your art shows no basic development or training or whatever.
Maybe you spend time on this stuff, but that's only because you haven't worked on the basics first. So for the most part, it all looks like effortless garbage.
Stop defending your crap, and start developing it.
And your jokes are pretty lame.
Edit:
To be nice, here's an assignment:
Download this: (One of AoB's links that he quite nicely offered to you, you know, to help?)
http://danzig.lunarpages.com/~iseeno3/files/loomisfiguredrawing.pdf
Or purchase one of the other books AoB listed in his links.
Read the entire book(s), and do like, 50 million studies based off of what's written there, or just studies of what's already in there. At least that would be better than the nothing you're working from.
It is not smart to get all pissy with everyone that gives you legitimate advice, AOB is pretty legit.
PS: Abstain from the gay jokes...most people in the art world don`t like right-wing conservative bastards like you.
Quit bitching and start clicking. Each word in YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO DRAW is a link to a useful resource that you would almost certainly benefit from looking into. He didn't even make you go out and do your own research or check the tutorial thread, it's like a present. MERRY PRE-EMPTIVE CHRISTMAS.
As your gift to me, please engage yourself in some independant study and come back when you've made an effort to improve.
um... Contradict yourself much?
also: flaming a mod is the best idea ever.
you clearly have never seen a shadow... or just paid no attention. not every item in every room has a dark side, a light side, and a middle side...
set up a stack of shit, look at it, observe the shadows, make quick sketches using just panels of shade rather than drawing the items...
then push them over and get boned like the guy in the picture does
Seriously.. shading doesn't just mean putting some dark bits and some light bits... do yourself a favour and look up the link in AoB's post, get out of your asshole, what you're doing is not good, in any way.... your characters are uninspired, your backgrounds apalling, your anatomy, pen control, colouring choices, everything about it is weak... no matter your age, you can stop your bad habits and start afresh.
Also... you've got to learn that "gay" jokes, just aren't funny. They weren't funny 10 years ago, and even less so now. you may well spend all your day with your friends going "olol so and so is so gay" but it will not win you any fans in the real world. It's lazy, offensive to some, and just makes you sound ignorant and stupid... so cut it out.
also, serious question... did you really post this here expecting someone to praise it? for real? are you proud of these drawings? did you put the finishing touches on them and go "fuck yeah, i'm on fire today"? if you did... there may well be no hope for you
ps. stop drawing characters with one big eye and one small eye, it's not "zany" it's not "quirky" it just looks stupid.
Wow, that's a lot better! You're definitely making some improvements!
I took that image and made a few touch ups that I think you should keep in mind for your next piece!
Let's take the "do not touch" for example. The closest I see to humor in the piece is the fact that a bunch of junk is precariously stacked and liable to fall at any moment and has a sign that says to not touch. Why are those objects there? Who put the sign there rather than simply unstacking them? This is certainly odd, but it's not funny. Then the character touches it (and who imagined he wouldn't touch it ... is so obvious) and then it falls. There is no surprise in either of these (surprise being one element that can be used for humor), and it's not funny.
Now, if in the 3rd panel we saw the aftermath of the falling rather than it falling iteself, and maybe he had the bowling ball somehow in his mouth and the lamp poking out of one nostril ... well, it'd still be lame but it'd be closer to funny in my opinion.
But really, as it is now, what did you imagine the humor was in the first place?

And never before, such win was seen.
Srsly guy. Falconire. You should take this mans advice. Try to use as many lensflares as possible, and always use the filter "difference clouds" for your backgrounds. That will make your art 2xAwesome. That's DOUBLE AWESOME
Apologies everyone!
Those movie posters... just... wow... nothing good there.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Holy Christ fucking an aborted fetus, Batman!
I shouldn't be condoning just pasting images you found on the web into your 'art', but right now it's the only redeeming feature of that comic.
Also, what's up with that Batman poster? Is the joke that he look more like a Batgirl.?

But really, it would be better if it was an elaborate troll.
That's actually really, really depressing.

- the bottle is badly drawn, not rounded, the sides dont match, there is no curve on the label and the label doesn't even look like the real thing
- the top black slab on top of the bottle neck doesn't match the rest of it.
- the gun in the right hand (his) looks like horseshit, the other isn't terrible.
- his arm anatomy is goofy and appears to have a joint in the middle of his forearms.
- all black, all the time on the clothing (save the logo) looks bad and like a giant blob.
- people's feet DON'T do that (on purpose)
- the text on the bottom looks horrible
- the text on the top looks bad
- the piece has no texture, no shading, no lighting, and appears to be a 10 minute job
The second one... (batman)
-paintbucket filling the lines and not cleaning them up makes it look like horseshit
- black lines with black filler makes the anatomy look worse that it actually is
- what's with his feet?
- the text is hard to read
- the gay jokes aren't funny anymore, they never were actually
- no shading, no texture, no lighting whatsoever
- no background or environment
- looks like a crappy pencil sketch, scanned in, filled in, slapped with text and posted to the intertubes.
- wait, is that piss in the corner of his eye?
The comic
- The eyes look really bad
- there doesnt appear to really be a joke here (in fact the edit of.... forget his/her name is actually funnier)
- the shading doesn't actually take a light source into account and is just slapped wherever without due cause
- the anatomy is a little better here but the pointy shoulder in the second panel and the bent forearm in the third ruin it a little.

...that he obviously copy-pasted from somewhere.
No, B-A-M is the troll.
GAWD, Sheri, get it right!
...actually, this guy seems to actually enjoy posting his art, but he doesn't do fuck-shit-anything to remedy any of his problems. The difference between him and the other guy, though, seem to be that this one gets up in arms over everything, yet does nothing we suggest to him. The other guy doesn't bother replying at all, unless it's to further a flame-war.
Hey, Falc, you know what that tells me? That you don't really care about your art. Maybe if you took some advice here, and oh, I don't know...actually tried to vomit out something respectable, you wouldn't be getting replies like this. I really don't understand how you're not getting it. When you post the same stuff over and over and over again in a forum that promotes working towards improvement, and you seriously don't bother taking ANY advice at all, and you just post more shit that harbors the same problems...what the hell else do you expect?
"wow dude that is so sweet."
"hey duder you need to work on this again, but ya know I'll just say it 5 more times because maybe you missed my last post.
???
Because that will totally not happen if you continue along this path of idiocy!
