Ghost 1,857 Posted February 9, 2015 Okay it has been a LONG ass time since I've drawn. For almost a year now I've tried sitting down with a sketchbook, but...nothing. Just nothing, at all. I was really sad because I love drawing but lately I'd had no ideas, or the ideas I DID have...well, I was unable to do them. Okay so I've never been good at drawing. Never spectacular, never amazing. But I was good *enough* so that I was satisfied! I adore critique (so long as you're not telling me it's shit, I am shit, and that I need to die or something) I'm real bad at drawing digitally but I think if I just try harder and look up some good guides I'll have a chance, maybe. I just want to be able to draw for myself and my friends especially the ones who have OCs - who doesn't love fanart of their own characters??? Well anyways, here's something that I just finished up: I took some inspirations from the ghost neopets, my first dark souls character (firetrucked up so hard), and something off of gaia online Ignore the outfit because I pretty much just threw it together so I wouldn't seem as lazy as I really was; the main focus was the skin/face/etc. If you can offer some honest constructive criticism I would be more than happy! Same with if you can link me to any good guides, videos, tutorials, etc. - I'd really appreciate it. I want to get better, and learn techniques, especially for colouring - I was never, ever, ever a good colour-er. Ooh, and lineart. I can ink just fine with a pen and paper but digitally...I'm just lost! Maybe someday after I've learned some more things, I'll draw her full body and give her an ACTUAL outfit - also no background for this one because I wanted it to be transparent But yes pls I tried don't yell at me too hard please thanks! 10 Mio, Amber Cole, Shard the Gentleman and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Javelin434 3,164 Posted February 9, 2015 I really can't say much with criticism. The only thing I can seemingly criticize would be the relatively flat shading effects. But I'm pretty damn sure with practice that you'll be able to improve on that. 1 Ghost reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aru Akise 2,540 Posted February 9, 2015 The work you put in the hair is something Iove. Drawing the detail of every thread makes the character look so much more beautiful. 1 Ghost reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
