@SuperNinjaDragon - Your critique are awesome! I wonder if you could critique my art [img]http://pre04.deviantart.net/82bc/th/pre/i/2016/159/0/9/dragon__janus__by_teddydj-da58kv1.png[/img] With this one I went for a spacy feel. This was one of the first one I did the line art for and it didn't look sucky, so I was kinda proud for that. You are free to roast mah drawing :P

I advise you to practice some [b]anatomy[/b] to make your [b]proportions[/b] better. Try to think of people being around 7.5 heads tall (or 6 heads tall if they're short and 8 if they're tall). And for clothes, try practicing shading some [b]wrinkles[/b]: [img]http://36.media.tumblr.com/e4d178d85bc69f3be7d1fdeb88a7e09f/tumblr_nxwm6e0Wnh1uo4yrqo7_1280.jpg[/img] [b]Perspective [/b]can also be practiced to improve, such as the perspective of the feet, and the positioning of the arms. Hope this helps :)

@SuperNinjaDragon
Thanks! I have always had trouble on fabric and thanks for the advice on drawing people and that I need to work on perspective. This is also supposed to be a child around eight and I know he doesn't look his age and I will also try to improve on that to.
This was super helpful thanks a whole bunch

@Gazebo Sorry about this late reply! Let's begin our critique: [img]http://img04.deviantart.net/9841/i/2014/364/4/f/img_20141230_15210_by_irishwolves-d8bvm7y.jpg[/img] When shading, try determining your[b] light source[/b](where the light is coming from) and the [b]intensity[/b] of the light (E.g. stadium lights are really strong, candle light is softer). I think for this drawing, shading may be scattered and may appear random. Also practice with shading so it looks like this pro stuff:[img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a1/ee/06/a1ee060d3347011564395b9a6e58fe6d.jpg[/img] Actually, that example's a bit scary. Let's take a look at this one instead: [url=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9X15_AKYC4Y/Rt7_rzr2sJI/AAAAAAAAACE/wduBXnkQohQ/s1600-h/blending.gif]Pic won't load so I'm sad now but at least I can link it[/url] So, like in the example above, try blending it more. I think everything else is good, but remember: practice makes perfect!

@catcatamelia Hey there, thanks for being patient! I suggest to improve your drawings you should try studying the [b]anatomy[/b] of animals and humans. Here's a pic of the anatomy of a dog's back leg. As you can see, it has [b]3 distinct parts [/b]- try to take note of the bone and muscle structure: [img]http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/Science/data/images/MmBib/VetAnatImg/xlarge/0077x.jpg[/img] In fact, you can compare it to a human's leg: [img]http://bestanimationbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dog2.jpg[/img] Or a bird leg too: [img]http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb465/arsanatomica2/owlfootdia0.jpg[/img] And for the way you draw hair, I think it might need more [b]detail[/b]. Be careful about which brush you use to shade hair as it may look unnatural. Here's something that may help: [quote=Something I posted earlier]For example, this artwork (not mine of course, I just quickly googled 'hair'): [img]http://img03.deviantart.net/e7f6/i/2015/112/7/6/drawing_hair_by_taylorswiftt13-d5wr2dc.jpg[/img] You can see the [b]hair can be somewhat grouped in a 'clumps'[/b], and individual pencil strokes are drawn within them to create detail. Try to think of hair like that. In fact, sometimes such small detail isn't needed in the clumps as seen in this random anime style art: [img]http://www.planwallpaper.com/static/images/which-anime-character-are-you-quiz.jpg[/img][/quote] [u]You can also apply the same logic to drawing fur. [/u]Also, when using stamp-ish tools (such as the leaf tool, or grass tool) try to use them with moderation or try using them carefully, as overusing them may degrade the quality of an artwork. Hope this helps you improve :D

@SuperNinjaDragon
i recently made this and i want a bit of critique on this too
here

@Texasface What makes you think it's a viola? (Edit: Please be ensured this question isn't meant to be rude, since my knowledge of a viola is "higher pitch" and "curved frog", and both can't be seen in the drawing, so I'm curious as to what makes you think so) Anyways, back to critique! [img]http://img04.deviantart.net/13b5/i/2016/240/d/3/scarlet_and_ruby_by_ningaella3-daflpx0.png[/img] [b]When shading, try to use varying colours in varying shades[/b]. It can make a drawing look less boring and more appealing. An example is below. You can see many colours were used to shade the red: [img]https://cgplus.com/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a406e8a9799eadd844d8ac984a12b7779e2fd4fd.jpg[/img] And of course, this can work with other colours: [img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/177930b8955932ee17867a5f6c1aa6cd/tumblr_inline_o1qnqgjeBf1smqwki_500.jpg[/img] I think you can also shade in larger areas and with a darker brush for an even more 3D look. Your anatomy is amazing, but a bit of practice may have to be put in[b] perspective[/b]. Try to challenge yourself by drawing a front view portrait or a 3/4 view. I myself never dared to give such perspectives a go, but I'm sure it's worth to practice!
