first one - nice. next time make the neck shorter - don't think in symbols, think in how things actually look. I usually have to look at a picture. to get pieces like the neck length and the nose. Also the facial shape is a little off. and it's very, very faint... I have a laptop so I just pushed the screen back to see it better. I can't complain about that though because I draw really lightly too...

second - same as the first, except in this one I think the eyebrows are too low and too thick. After experimenting a lot with faces as a child (I say this like I'm adult now lol) I discovered that to give a face a more feminine feel, you have to raise the eyebrows slightly and make them fainter, and put more eyelashes.

hope that helped :) and I hope it wasn't annoying :)

First of all, before you read the below barrage of...stuff...(haha), your drawings are good, you know how to give a drawing atmosphere (maybe you don't go into detail, but you include background. I like that. ^-^).

Okay, I've noticed that:
a) You draw people with hands behind their backs...probably because you don't want to draw/ don't know how to draw their hands? If you want your drawings to look better, go for a variety of poses.

b) You draw the dresses to compensate for space on a body you can't/don't want to draw. Instead of the dress shaping the body, let the body shape the dress/whatever clothing the person may be wearing.

I'd advise using shapes to map out the anatomy of a person first; use some references as well. Get used to sketching, then solidifying--bolding, whatever--the lines that look 'good' instead of drawing and erasing lines over and over again.

A tutorial on hands might be helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yabign...

Also, keep in mind your drawings don't have to be extremely realistic (sorry if I'm contradicting you, Silver :3). To add 'character' to a character (if you're not drawing realistically, obviously) you have to accent features and define what they look like and how they stand apart (e.g. long, flowing hair, skinny neck, crooked nose, huge glasses, plump, thin lips, big hands...).

Hope it helps...and keep in mind that the more you practice, the better you get. Seriously. I've tried and it works. :P

Hey chill, Laura wasn't trying to be mean. She's just giving you advice so you can improve. A lot of that goes on here. If you don't want feedback, then maybe this isn't the right group for you.

Overall, I like your style. I can't wait to see how you develop. :-)

I'm not mocking you (not intentionally. I have ways of wording things where the come out wrong... D:) ...but okay, I get your point. :) Sorry if it seemed like it. I honestly wasn't trying to.

And I get that these were quick drawings, so. Um. Yeah.

And by drawing beyond realistic, I didn't mean fictional, just giving characters more personality by accenting features.

P.S. I am so confused. No offense for anything I said, if I said anything...I've had a rough day. So this is an apology in advance.

Good luck with your exams!

Good luck on your exams!

I have younger siblings and they can be uber-annoying sometimes. I hear ya. ;P

[Laura , in a public relationship with rasputin???]

I have three basic states of emotions:
1. The neutral state--I just listen and take in what's going on around me, I smile and laugh a couple times
2. The irritated phase--I am irritated. I am quiet. I am subdued. It is wise not to annoy me more.
3. The OMG-I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-THIS-IS-REAL-SUPER-EXCITING state--when I can't control myself and am practically bursting with excitement. Pretty much reserved for good books, happy events, and the internet.

Actually, yes. The color makes it look a lot better.

[Laura , in a public relationship with rasputin???]

Thankees! Just...ignore most of the ones before page 7...they're from forever ago and they're bad.

[Laura , in a public relationship with rasputin???]

Okay...have a good day! (I'm actually just going to bed...hmmm...)

[Silver]

8:17 where I live.
yeah sorry I hope I wasn't annoying you...

I just had a random idea. what if we all scanned stuff we drew at different ages, to see if we went through similar drawing phases? I loved drawing when I was little :) mostly faces. Same as now, actually.

If it's me, I live in Indonesia."

Ah, okay. I was wondering because you said Maths.

I was lazy so I took pics of 4 early drawings instead of scanning... (sorry for spamming on your page Fadhila!)

One time I laughed so hard I had to plug my nose so I didn't laugh out loud. The results were catastrophic.

[Sara, Rararasputin lover of the scatman]

THANK YOU.
I'm not alone. x)

Oh and yeah, I know I owe you the kiriban. I'm going to start it soon. Like for real. I have a desk now and space to actually work on and store my art so it's a lot easier to work on it ^:^

[Laura , in a public relationship with rasputin???]

Oooh! What does the desk look like?

(I think I'm going to change my title now.... :3

Thanks for saying you'll do it.)
