I just keep drawing Derek...
Forgot the link Derek
*Snicker* Oops.
OOO Derek that's easily your best work.
I'd help with critiques but I'm not all that great with clothing either.
I think it looks great! The folds around your knees and at the bottom of your pants where they meet your shoes looks good too!
(and I see your feet aren't mutant apendages! Good job!)

I hope you realize the mutant part was referring to my many different attemps at feet and the good part was referring to your actual representation of what feet SHOULD look like.

Ohhhhhh.... Ok lol
I just figured out how to make feet look correctly, they would come out as huge circles 'til now.
Good Stuff Derek, Nice improvements overall since I've last seen your stuff.
You may want to make his hips wider, and add more form to his cloak to accentuate his arms.

Thanks for the critiques, CJ, that's the kinda stuff I'm looking for!
CJ, is the cloak in this better?
I didn't widen the hips, though - Why would they need widening? Explain?
Hate to tell you this Derek but the link just directs us back to this forum...
EDIT: sorry it's working I don't know how that happened to me 3 times....blonde moment *smacks forehead*
I know, lol, try clicking again, I fixed it.
oh ok...lol i thought iwas going crazy or stupid there for a minute...lol
Heheh, woulda fooled me. (Sorry, sorry, kidding!)
Yeh, better.
Hrmm, you may want to drape a colored(Bright colors, darks won't take) towel or shawl around you and look at a mirror. See how the light reacts to the folds around your Shoulder Lines, where they connect at the clasp(use a clothespin or needle). That should help you out the rest of the way.
As to why widen the hips? Well, it is true Females have wider hips than Males, but that doesn't mean our Legs connect from a single point. In your drawing the top of his legs(sprouting from the hip joint) seem "fused" together, whereas again just use your mirror and notice that your hip joints don't meet at all.
Hope that made sense. 800 mg doses of Ibuprofen are pretty disgusting. They're huge.

Why there's no shading and lighting and stuff is because I haven't done it yet.
If you look at it, though, the cloak is covering where his hips would be, mostly. That is, if I'm right. >.>
I'll hold off Judgment til I see the shading then. Okies?
Okies. XD
Great pants, man. This is easily the best piece I've seen you draw thus far. The width of his shoulders and the length proportions of his body are right on. I can see what CJ is sayin' about the hips, though the character is young, so I dunno... young bodies tend to be more slight. Anyway, good piece, good improvement.

That is why they are small. I intended it that way. Why the proportions are so good for me, is because I looked up a tutorial.
Wow Derek! You're definitely improving! I really like the feet and hands, they're spot on!

This is my attempt at drawing more realistic looking clothes for Derek. It's what he actually wears, except I added folds, details, etc etc. I tried to make the clothes look better than they usually do... Looked up tutorials on male body shape, the way cloth hangs, y'know. I will most likely be coloring this.. Not to brag, but I think I'm actually getting better at the things I've been having trouble with... Eyes, hair, clothes... body shape... The list goes on and on.
Comment, critique, call me a loser! Just comment!
EDIT: I forgot the dang link!.....Soooo.... Link!
