Hi, Don't think i have ever posted in this thread but there is a first time for everything. I havn't really drawn much by hand since i left school because as a handful of you must know it's good to draw during lessons lol. Anyways i was bored so i drew this and i thought i might post it. What do you think? Any pointers on how to make it better. Thanks.



(I did it by hand and then scanned it in)

flaber: the technogadgetry is pretty cool, but your anatomy and depth (I understand the lack of the latter on this piece) needs work. Also, attend to the shapes of the big wires, they should be of even width, now there's a few bumps. Where one of them connects to the shoulder, that whole connection is off, as far as perspective goes.

Really glad to see you try very challenging designs.

thanks. im still really trying to learn anatomy. Bought a few books, and have been looking at alot of reference. So at the time that i was drawing this, that was as far as i had come, fully aware of the misproportions, but doing the best i could. Still a big learning process for me, but im feeling alot of improvement
As for the shoulder bit, found that to be one of the most difficult places of the whole piece - erased alot.  Should it be more foreshortened, ex more coming towards us?
and well the big wires.. that was just poor on my part . i suppose i got alittle lazy and tired

thanks again for the encouragment
i really appreciate the thoughts and comments (from both you and alex)

[Helm]

both more foreshortened and more coming towards us, as the plane on which it connects to the shoulder is pretty much aiming somewhere above the head of the viewer, but not much.

Keep it up.
