that's a mechanical pencil and just plain sketchbook paper : o
i'd lovvvveeee to use charcoal but i feel like i'd have to cover every damn thing in my room because whenever i use it i get dust everywhere. : ( if i didn't have to sit by my computer the whole time i'd have grabbed the charcoal in a heartbeat and prooobably used newsprint
Cake, watch the shoulders in your demo. The shoulder on our left needs to come down a little bit I think. Her shoulders are on a slight incline, yours are pretty even though.
Also watch the inside leg. Her thigh bumps up right against the back of the calf at the bend, but you've got a bit of separation between them going on.

Mes, you gave her one tough-as-bones looking face.
Haha. I know. I was gonna fix it, but figured why bother. I was concentrating more on her body.
um, its really great that you are looking to improve yourself by participating in this thread. But why have the attitude of why bother.. You should really start thinking of trying to always make your best drawing.. If you know the face looks bad.. erase it and focus on the body rather than having a bad face. The come back later and draw it correctly

I really fucked this one up, but at least I tried:
In hindsight it probably would have been a much better idea to have used a different medium than pencil, because I cannot shade with it to save my life.
I won't be putting up any critiques tonight guys, sorry. I will get through everyone before the next one starts though. I just have a lot on my plate to get done before my class tomorrow. I will definitely be using the entire week to do all of these critiques. I had no idea so many people would participate. I was honestly thinking maybe 6 or 7 if I was lucky. I think we have like 20 now.
Glad its helping.. Im learning more from trying to help than I did trying to draw it.
Hey guys itd be great if there was maybe a .. Im alive or a least a fuck you for a response after a drawing gets critiqued. Nothing but crickets is just disheartening. Im sure cake feels the same.
You're crit was helpful for me, ken. Though, I think the stroke thing is sort of a personal preference. I will try to control the build up differently next time.
One thing I am curious about is whether anyone would be interested in alternating between head and figure each week. Or would you guys rather just work on the figure?
I wouldn't mind alternating head and figure. some focusing on the shapes of hands and feet probably wouldn't be a bad thing for most of us, looking over our entries. I know it'd help me.

Yeah I'd be keen on a head study, I generally do most of my pencil stuff in my free time at work, so nudes are a bit of a problem.

Where we left off.
Moving into a new area.

yes yes
we are going to set up the image on the tv and draw togetherrrrrrr
i am nervous about this as i dont think i will be too good at it

I am working on a drawering for this.
charcoal pencil
edit: it rhymes!
edit: found a couple of references
I didn't like the first reference pic, so I did a sketch of NightDragon's reference pic.
Spent probably 45 minutes on it.
Rule 4: No critiqueing my demos! (just kidding)

I hear ya.
another crit.
Foods drawing.
this is the original image I am critiquing
Time: about 2 hours, I started rushing around 1.5 hours
Edit: I have a horrible method that is essentially sight size with a speckling of basic proportions.
Edit 2: Somehow un-tilted the face after redrawing it because the head was too small... hmm.
you done good

he's ridiculously good with realism stuff
he is stubborn and refuses to draw, however
It happens sometimes...
This one still blows my mind.
Jesus, I had to look real close to pick up that wasn't a photograph.
