Help improve my drawing

First things first: If you've come to the Art forum to look at some of the (let's face it) INCREDIBLE talent on show, this is the wrong thread for you. Sorry to waste your time.

I've been teaching myself to draw over the period of the last month or so, with some limited results. The past few days I inked a sketch a VG-mate graciously let me do of his character, and scanned it to get his opinion.
I figured "What the hey", might as well get the opinion of people who know what they're doing

The advice I've had so far on drawing, and on this drawing in particular:
Get my hands on an anatomy book so I can get a better idea of human anatomy and the detailed particulars
Head's too small

And yes, I did rush the feet somewhat, hence the lines are pretty poor.

Hey! Thats not bad! The fingers on our left look a little small but mabye that is just me...Remember, practice makes perfect!

Keep it up!

-BAS

looks good for basically just starting. as BAS mentioned, practice is the key. the more ya practice the better you get. a bit time consuming but the end results are most definately are worth it.

as such, keep the pencil moving and posting your work. the more art here the merrier ~

That's not bad at all for a first try! You might want to make the fist a liiiiittle bit bigger, and angle the clenched fingers a bit more (at first I thought you'd put the fingernails on the wrong side of the hand). And maybe give his ankle a little more definition by making the calf curve more sharply. But those are all minor little fixes

Keep it up! Keep drawing and posting!

fixed it for you. The boards will not display pics, so you have to link to them.


I'm not the best person for art help , but I think his head is a little small for the body. Keep practicing thouhg. You've gotten farther than most people have, willing to ask for help and trying to draw.
