Some of the lines and shading didn't get picked up by the scanner, and the mouth isn't wide enough I feel. Mouths are always something I have problems with, as are noses. Eyes, well, I normally doodle tons of eyes, so it's the one thing I'm fairly good at, though expressions I'm not as good with.

Yes, the mouth is a bit too small but she's a gynoid so... why not.

I like a lot this picture and I think I'll have it in mind next time one of my characters meet Number Nine.
I don't know what you wanted to give her as expression but I find it being a good work.

I have problems with mouths really, Which is why i tend to stick the anime as the mouths are usually just lines. It helps to keep sketching things alot, you should try looking at others drawings and sketching out the mouths yourself, always helps me.

I think it looks great Z, and as I said on MSN, she looks a bit like you!

One of these days, I'll get my old artpad out... But I have no scanner...

Number Nine looks strangely attractive in that drawing Z, its hair is beautifully drawn and the small lips is kinda cute. Note, I am not robosexual!

Very nice Z! It's great to see these, they do make me feel like I know the characters better now.

On Nene's picture, the lines make me wonder how you are holding the pen. It looks like you're holding the pen very tightly and pressing hard on the paper. I like the small mouth, I think it fits with the robotic look.

Isaac looks nice ^^ I really like the way his left hand goes, and the curve of his body.

Keep it up, Z

Aye, if anyone's seen my handwriting before, you'll know that I have real problems writing, I just can't seem to hold the pencil comfortably further up, I hold at just above the nib. Really should work on that, but after nearly 21 years (Well, 16ish if you count me starting to write at 4-5) I'm pretty stubborn in my ways.

Thanks, was trying to go with the look of him waking up and just arching his back a little while stretching. Plus yes, it is kinda pelvic thrusty. Not too bad for doodling during a BESM session.

Decided to try and keep in practice more, so I will keep it up.

Well, I picked up my sketchpad earlier, and I did something I've been meaning to do for a long, long time.

I've finally drawn not only my two main male characters together, but in a profile shot too, which I've hardly ever done. So for all those shounen-ai fans out there...

A Moment in Moonlight

Self-Commetry:
For some reason, I always find Juan harder to draw. It might be the third eye, but Isaac seems really easy to draw. Not just me who finds that, Hikari-Hime does too. They're a little too rigid, they should really be closer together and more relaxed, but I supose that comes from me using a screenshot of the pair standing sideways mid ;crossarms emote to try and get the elbow angle right. The mouths need some work, and Isaac's right arm seems a little off proportion, though I think with some practice I might be able to rectify these, and with more practice be able to rely less on having some kind of pose source material and instead get things more in line with mental images.
