and the lines need to match up for the stick
Er... NSFW-ish. But only lightly.
Since I'm underage I obviously can't attend a real figure drawing class, but this thing has made a pretty handy substitute, check it out.
G'night.

Flash didn't want to do either. I'm not used to things readjusting my lines. and I don't know how to turn it off yet.
i know some people who use flash and they all pretty much say it's annoying at first, but once you get, you get it.
EDIT: and another one:
Wow, I was so focused on making sure that this one doesn't look like an orc... and I got me a goblin instead. Grrrreat.
EDIT2: Fuck lizardmen, I want salamanders!

You know.. now and again the ridiculous notion comes to me that perhaps my anatomy would improve if I practiced real life anatomy. Then I stop eating paint chips.
The legs are sort of bugging me, but for 45 minutes of work, I'm kind of happy with it.

Like super strength or something.
Man, the dude is not the sum total of what once appeared on a shitty cartoon from three decades ago, and a handful of Seanbaby articles.

I don't know man, I don't think F-16s can swim very fast.
Hey! You're back! Very awesome Deerguana, I will vote for you..
That video has opened me up a little bit more, and it was an awesome experience. I know I'm being incredibly, well, omfgigottaknoweverythingaboutit , but what were those 4 layers during the video? You started with the first one and I completely didn't notice why you added the extra 3.
Why not take a snap shot?
Well, hey, look at that.
No reason other than I never clicked that button before.
Hey, look, it's gesture drawing! (I'm totally just posting this here so I don't have to post on the bottom of the page)
I like to think it's just because they're die-hard Namor fans, but it's usually 'cause they just so ign'ant.
Munch, your art is progressing, but I'd really like to see you pushing the anatomy. You can keep going with your rounded stylization, but seeing it made of more realistic forms would really push the coolness of the look. I know it's a really dumb crit to give ("work on anatomy"? How cliché), but most of your drawings seem to have consistently similar forms which gives off a "I've found something that works and I'm sticking with it vibe". Very dangerous!

Painful foreshortening failures, ho!
I'm sorry if I've snubbed anyone on BotPing, but I don't know how far back to go.
Almost didn't post this because I did a bit of cheating on the face (not tracing, but close enough), but I figured since after I did that I almost completely changed the look of her face as well as the lighting on everything, I'd post it anyway. Screw soft lighting from multiple angles, give me horror movie lighting plz.

Pencils prevent me from cheating, yay!
I hope I'm learning something from this crap!
Looking good though AOB, keep it up, you're inspiring me to do the same.
edit:
I'm so bad at likeness.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I've kind of been stagnating artistically lately, drawing a bunch of stuff without really looking to realism, or even other artists for inspiration. So my art's just kept becoming sort of inbred, as I keep repeating the same mistakes, and now they've just sort of become acceptable to my eye. I'll probably do some drawing-from-life exercises to break me out of my rut. Thanks for the crit.

please help me with this
(Only downside, perhaps, is that it kinda looks like feathers or something)

There's just a point where I don't know where the hell I'm going and everything has a bad contrast. Any sugggestions or should I just blend things from life so I understand more or what?
EDIT : For all the speed painters, how are your brush configurations? I only check other dynamics, sometimes with shape dynamics, and then sometimes none of them are check for darked lines.
EDIT x2 :
Some problems with the hat and alot of problems with the gun, but a second attempt nonetheless.
There is no reason to get discouraged because you think you've got some problems- the only thing that matters is trying to fix them, without hestiation, without looking back, whatever the cost. If it means wiping out half the picture, if it means making the sky orange instead of blue, if i means moving that person's head position even though waaaaaaaaah I just spent half an hour trying to get it right, whatever! Just do it! If it doesn't look right? Do something else! Knock that motherfucker around until it does what you want it to do!
You don't know where you're going? Good! Then you have no excuse for not changing things as soon as a thought strikes your brain to do so. Having a picture go through a dozen different compositions, a dozen color changes, completely different designs, entirely different ideas in general, is fine! For every picture I actually show someone, there's been a dozen half-starts, dead ends, garbage, shit that didn't work, stuff that was interesting but flawed, stuff that was ok but not interesting- every success is built on the back of a million failures.

What do you mean by "blend things from life?"
If you mean doing studies of objects from life, yes. A million times yes.
Also, do whatever observation you can of everything around you, looking for details, how things work, how they are made, what makes the world apprear interesting to you. Observation is probably the single most important thing to any kind of visual art.
My most typical brush setup, you need a pen-tilt capable tablet for it to be of any use whatsoever, however.

EDIT: God, writing all that out took like 4 times as long as doing the paintover.
I haven't posted any art in a while since my primary desktop has been out of commission for nearly 2 months now. I finally got a working refurbished graphics card from the warranty so that should change soon.
Until then here's something I did on a holdover computer that hardlocked about 10 seconds before I was going to save. Thankfully I had enough time to grab my camera and get a crappy picture of the monitor before it BSOD'd.
Still life of my desk, kind of gives you an idea of how often I use it.
Would have gone on this longer, but the light bulb in the lamp here just burnt out. What the hell are the odds?
