Thanks! to everyone who likes.
as for crits, I think you could work on making the lines nice and crisp rather than so sketchy - more well defined, and definition where it matters, you know? Rather than these kind of questioning marks.
Yes, I'll try. I get this sometimes. It's better than it
used to be.
Also, try studying anatomy and drawing from life. Even if just doodles of things around you. It's much easier to catch discrepancies between reality and drawing - since you can look back and forth - than between imagination and drawing, since what's in our mind can change easily. Noticing these discrepancies will make you way better at noticing mistakes in general, and then you're on the road to correction! Vast improvement guaranteed.
I did a lot of object/still-life drawings in freshman year, several times a week. I was in a 2d art class, and then some. That's how I improved my shading. The scepter was the culmination of all those studies. But! I have never studied anatomy with a pencil.
You're right, it does work. A member of GMClans, Razor, did a sketchbook topic over the course of a year, in which he studied anatomy, especially faces. He got better big time.
Thanks for the advice! I'll go along with it as soon as I finish the game project I'm working on at the moment. Or if I feel up for a break.
Teaman is boss. Have you tried exploring that style any more since?
Once, something similar, but it didn't work out. I didn't finish it.
I guess I really should make some more like it, mm?
I know I've seen the Teaman before...either a magazine or a photoshop website. Searched psdtuts but found nothing. Where else have you posted this? I love it!
Hmm tough call. If you don't mind me listing other sites, there's RoboSquid, Black Mesa, GMG, Facebook (haha unlikely), and a little forum a guy named Claredeth got me to register at.
It's kickass if it
was posted somewhere else. It's not like I'm getting paid for it, I'm just happy that it's making other people happy.
Speaking of which! I have a 300 dpi version of Teaman. The pic is now a link, go click it. Feel free to print it out. Share it wherever.
I might draw some soon, but it's looking to be a very busy few days.
