at least he knows he can still go somewhere with mediocre sketches...

personally i thought that was way out of line Gil, the sketch is no bad place for a 13 year old to be at.  any reason to take a cheap shot at a newcomer?

aw thanks And you too Ptoing, I still think what Gil said had some merit, I do have alot to work on..but the complement was nice

If you're thirteen and you didn't use extensive reference for this, then you're doing much, much better than I did at your age.

[Malor]

I used a reference for some of it, like the folds..but most of it is my own.

[Gil]

Hey guys, stop the witch hunt, I was obviously talking about the scan, not the drawing skills itself, as that is probably about as good as what I can do and I'm 21. Did you see me edit the drawing? I only edited the actual scan, because it had very bad lighting.

So, Malor, I love the drawing, you just need a better way to get it onto computer. That was my point, but you realised that yourself...

[huZba]

oo, fun one, loving the lighting effect.  out of curiousity, whta city is that?  i know they all look the same, but for some reason it makes me think so much of Oakland, CA.

A town called hyrylä in eastern finland.

Oh and nice going malor. The only thing i did with a pen in your age was this kind of drawing war where you take turns to draw tanks and other warmachines that try to destroy the opposition (the other side of the paper).

I figure it's too big

what should i add to it or fix it or faults or poop

its not bad considering Ive never tried drawing glasses or water splashes. I can't figure out how to scan well too. It looks far better in person

and how should i color it if at all? ink? colored pencils? vector? water colour?

i didn't finish drawing the continents because i only had free time with my history book for the last 5 minutes of class :3
finals

I would go for some coolored pencils, but any of those options would work...I see those motor-functions are coming back 

[Gil]

Colored pencils + hue shift = sexy!

Try it out...

[miascugh]

Speaking of which, I happen to have tried colored pencils for the first time last weekend.



I didn't feel like I could render the leather-jacket properly without reference, and don't think I will finish it off anymore due to overall silliness.
Also, rather bad quality shot, the dark part of his snout and the tail are the same color on paper.

i like with the white jacket

leather always tends to get a bunch of diamond-shaped folds in the sleeves, and very few folds in the rest.  It gets up to about a medium gray with regular light, but every crest shines rather clean and white, whole thing has the texture of a football.
