Robotsintheskies' Art Things and Other Such Misadventures: SHOW ME YOUR CRITS [NSFW]

Long time lurker / occasional poster of idiotic opinions

Here is some stuff I've worked on. I'm a 16 year old kid living in Beijing, in my senior year of high-school. I'm planning to apply to art school, and I've been (sort of) working on a portfolio to send in.

I would really appreciate whatever advice and criticisms you have, mostly for the stuff in pencil because I was too stupid to consult someone before doing the stuff in pen...

I apologize for the super shitty image-quality, I took these with a crappy digital camera and I don't have the resources (yet) to take better pictures. This isn't an excuse or anything...just sayin D:

But where is the stuff?

Oh look here it is

An assignment I did during a precollege program at SVA. We were to create a creature that was made up of four different animals. I used a wolf, an oryx, a stag, and a bear.

Whenever I walk into a fast-food joint I always feel a million times more gross

A link to my Flickr I don't know why

Thanks in advance!

    Well, there are obviously some anatomical issues with that second girl, but I'm sure you can see that. Your hands are pretty well done, though, and they are typically what everyone gets wrong. Probably better than I was doing at 16.

    You have a lot of potential mate.

    Those hands are really nice and as long as you keep up a good work ethic I could see you getting to be really good in a few years.

    That last digital looks a lot like something Beavotron would do. :P

    i really love that first one
    i see a really interesting style emerging with you, but you're still going ahead and learning all the basics
    which means you are going to be a force to be reckoned with!

    keep at it, it's all looking great so far :)

    You've got a very charming style coming there. You need to use a wider range of values in your studies- that chimpanzee one is muddled with too many values that are too similar to each other, for instance. This makes the forms ill-defined and detracts from the drawing in a big way.

    Man Buckwolfe is going to cry foul at that first one.
