DOUBLE POST!!!

I have no idea what I'm going to do with the background. I don't even think I like the pose. But I'm tired of staring at this. :p

Lol i'm sorry I don't know what you americans call it! Haha. I was talking about the lighter coloured folds of hair.. above (and framing) the face...


Haha i've never had to explain that before, it sounds so awkward
 
Yeah, theyre called bangs.

I love the detail you put into it, makasu. The pic seems to match the one you previously posted. Is there any connection.

Also just to let you know, if your intention was fear of the image, you hit the mark
 
OOOOOOOhhhh bangs. Yeah thats what they're called over here!

Well I don't know if fear was what I was going for exactly. Just trying out different styles. There is no real connection between the two except the artist? The second one is from something I found in my sketchbook from 2008 :p

I don't think I'll finish it though. I'm not liking where its going. And coming up with gun designs was possibly the hardest thing to do. :/

you should venture out into landscapes... i haven't seen a samples landscape before!


haha bangs... that sounds so rude....
 
I can't do backgrounds to save my life. :/ I would/will need to learn how to do them. But I have yet to master the body and its many muscles. :p
 
Backgrounds are an easy thing to learn alot easier than anatomy, you just need a few refrences and give it a shot eventually you'll notice a pattern when you make Backgrounds thus making that your B.g Drawing style lol I jst recently started drawing some BGs myself ill prolly post some on here when I get home..
 
Got a bunch of new drawins

In memory of the fist part of the CREATE! competition (which I missed out on reading until it was too late), I'm posting a quick image of the Supernatural Theme. Monster Threatening the Earth.

I am getting used to a tablet so please bear with me:

This is a shitty dump of shit

oh dear

everything I do looks anime-ish oh dear
(ps I cant draw males any better than females)
:c
 
bacon, your stuff is coming along really nicely! just watch your proportions, make sure you're comparing it to real anatomy and stuff to get limb lengths and widths nice. but seriously, you're doing a lot better than i did when i started with a tablet.

don't worry if you think the facial features come off as anime-ish. get the basics down and you can nail style afterwards, just don't let it concern you now.

one thing though, and i'll let the anatomy experts elaborate, but your chins are looking very pointy. have you tried drawing actual skulls? i did this for a while and it really helped me out, just getting a solid understanding of how the human head is shaped.
 
on paper my heads are less pointy-ish but still they are somewhat pointy.
And you are wrong and I am the master drawer.

In all seriousness though, Ill actually try to do that. Do you kn0ow any good resources/tuts for this. Head shape is something I struggle with. Actually, the head shape determines what type of pose I am going to do, and thats not super efficient. x:
I actually noticed this as well. My heads go inward and I sort of forget the cheek and to balance it I think I make long chins.
I also think this is why I struggle with side shots.

I struggle with legs as well but most of the time people dont see that.
Hands, i always try to do open hands but end up doing side hands for a safety net sort of thing. :c
 
yeah, you really have to do all sorts of perspectives to get a true mastery of anatomy. a lot of people get good at only one point of view (3/4 especially) and think they're pretty good, only to realize when they draw something from a different view that it looks terrible. it's too easy to fall into that rut.

there's no one place i like to go for references, i usually just scour the web for poses and stock photos and stuff. as far as tutorials go, andrew loomis' books are very popular and you can find .pdf's pretty easily, although they can be very daunting for beginners and are quite large as well. conceptart.org has a lot of tutorials, such as these ones, that are worth checking out.

i drew my girlfriend in a post-modernist style with homage to picasso and the abstract movement of the early 20th century. if you look clsoely you can see subtle references to the work of 18th century romanticists such asaosifjaisudgnsd
