i guess i won't stop in the next 21 Hours.

That's pretty cute :)

thanks

Now print it and hold it up in the opposite direction of her

if my printer had ink i would
but printer ink costs more than human blood so fuck that noise

it's your character. you decide.

he looks like a very though dude, but his eyes are slightly 2uguu4me.
the ears arent symmetrical

too uguu?

yeah, the eyes are just too big in my opinion, makes him look less tough

I don't know if I should go for a short look. . .

. . .or a long one

I forgot eyebrows

He kinda reminds me of a skyrim character.

it's your character. you can do whatever you like with him

Ultimately, I will. I would just like some feed back

Hows this one?

Yea I agree, it looks too much like anime (not what I'm going for)
Ima go work on it

get on my level.

Bane Hitler.

I know photoshop can do that in about four seconds, I've used it.

I'm just saying I found out that the limitations of such a crappy program shouldn't stop people from trying to exceed them.

Don't try to piss on my dreams, bro.

"Shadow"

i think you have been hanging around me to much
that last sentence

Shut up Seel.

Is English not your first language?

Forgive me if I fucked up somewhere, I was ridiculously tired. It is my first language.

I like your style

Thanks :D

A little more shading, other than that it is good

it's so stylized that it's hard to give any real advice.

the hair kinda makes it looks like she's lying down, if that's the case then the tears should be falling to her left/right, not down the cheek. also, if she's laying down her breasts wouldn't be like that

the nose looks kinda odd, I think using lines to define the nostril would work better,, and the holes should be darker than just "dark skin color", nearing black the "deeper" you get. I think that using less lines to define the nose would work better. maybe just drawing the "holes" (as upside down "u" 's ) could do the trick

well merida from brave's hair was like that when she wasnt standing
so it could be like that

My boobs look like that laying down, if wearing a bra though.

Agree with you man

I'm not a girl so obviously I'm not the expert here but from the picture it looks like she's wearing nothing, yet her breasts are squeezing together which really doesn't make sense

OH I SEE!!! Haha, then yes, their shouldn't be any cleavage really.

Sorry

1. Her hair is retarded
2. Bigger boobs
3. More Tears

2/3

3/3

1 - it's pretty good scribble, though the hand are the biggest problem

2 - the nose and mouth area is pretty good and works well with the whole anime style, the eye is also fine( though imo the eyebrow reaches too close to it) but the hair and the rest of the head is a real problem here. the hair looks really dull...not as in "boring" ... but as in "not sharp". this makes the hair look "noodle-ish". not good. the back of the head is the biggest problem. it's not big enough.pic related. (stylized) hair expands out from where the skull ends, the outer part of the hair shouldn't be there where the border of the skull should be.

3 - this one is pretty good, though you are drawing way too small, which often leads to chicken scratches, instead of confident lines. the butt is the the only thing actually wrong here, it doesn't look good. I assume you either used a reference (which is good), or traced it (which is mostly bad) since everything else looks good and you managed to succeed in a pretty difficult perspective

The best part of being an artist is that I can draw butts

and get away with it.. because its art and not porn

are you my mummy

drawing humans (like...non stylized humans) is hard and isn't something that you should jump right in to, if you have no experience in drawing. I mean, obviously you CAN do that if you want to, and I'm sure many have done so and succeeded, but you're going to run into many problems once you start dealing with more difficult poses and angles

if you want to draw stylized (like anime style or something like that), knowing how to construct a real face is still important

check this comment for drawing the head www.funnyjunk.com/art/27827#27827 just check the whole prokotv channel for how to draw

for general "how to draw humans", check out sycra. he has done many tutorials on how to draw humans www.youtube.com/sycra

if you want to read books about it, check out loomis and his books

Thanks! I do have some experience, look below.

don't get offended now, but drawing ponies doesn't mean much. they are very simplistic. every pony starts from the same template. it's just a matter of adding in the colors and accessories. you can't really transfer the experience you've gained from drawing ponies, in to drawing humans (or pretty much anything else for that matter)

take this as an example.
www.funnyjunk.com/art/27859#27859
as soon as you transferred from digital to traditional, your over all quality dropped immensely. the line work isn't confident; you couldn't even draw a straight line for the framing.

all that being said it's good that you've done some artwork before. it means that you got the desire to actually do it! but if you're going to draw traditionally, I wouldn't go straight to humans since you seem to lack line confidence and fundamental knowledge. humans are probably one of the most complicated things you can draw

Thank you! That post is very helpful, as I know what it is I am doing wrong/ need to improve on.

And as for my transfer from digital to tradtional, all my drawings (Except the one with the gears) started off as actual real life pencil drawings.

And yes, I know ponies are pretty simplistic, but it's some experience, I think.

technically yes, it is SOME experience, but human's are much more complex as alleksi has mentioned; especially if you want them to be "realistic." One of the most important thing's for me is having a deep understanding of human anatomy, know where everything is and how its all connected/ interacts with each other is incredibly useful.

i WAS going to post an example if my own work but realized i didn't have any pictures of unarmored humans -_-

oh wow that's really good!
And I'm just trying to do something more cartoony, or anime styled.

Even anime style needs to be grounded with "proper" human anatomy; yes there are is some over exaggerated proportion but that goes with pretty much anything. Don't disregard it just because you want to make it cartoony and have an anime style

O.O

Those are good. And I guess I could try to learn more anatomy.

okay, good. that one is so much better than the one you posted below.

Do you have any drawings of something to show us ? to know where are you standing right now. because it takes some time, you don't learn that in some days with "tutorials"
Otherwise i wouldn't take that serious like "TODAY I WANT LERN HOW TO HUMAN AND NEXT DAY I WANT TO BE A DOLPHIN OH LOOK A STONE"

This one I cheated on, because I used pony creator for the ponies, but everything else is mine.

This is my most recent.

I have a couple. At school so I had to download them off a site where I have an actual gallery.

I have about 5 I can show

Something i've noticed is the fact that all of these pictures look like as if you've traced the bodies but just added some extra doo dad's here; the only real exception is the TF2 "parody"

I do trace all my pictures. I draw them first on paper, then when I scan them I use gimp to color/trace over the lines.

Well i hate to tell you, but that doesn't really count as experience. If you plan to draw human's and continue to trace, especially other people's art if you use Deviantart, people are gonna get pissed. If you want to become a true artist, you have to learn to draw without tracing; it only hamper's your own ability and could potentially get you in trouble

I believe there may have been a miscommunication somewhere.

Wait, I'm confused as fuck. Just what?

Okay, you trace all the pony's from references right?

No. I look at some references for anatomy, and draw them on paper. But I've done less of looking at references really, except for people's OC ponies.

I don't print things out then use paper to draw over the lines.

Once done with the traditional part of drawing, I scan my pictures and use gimp to add colors, using a mouse. I have a graphics tablet but I find that hard to use.

Hahaha, alright, that makes a little more sense, if you're just using them as a reference that's fine; i thought you meant you were just throwing a piece of paper over an image and directly tracing it

Oh no. That's retarded. I won't get any experience from that. The only tracing that happens is when I digitaly edit with Gimp. I don't trace.

Deleted as it took too much space pastebin.com/EdxDeJAa for interested people

are all of these (or at least most of them) available as a reference in the exam?

drawing from life is easier than drawing from imagination

I can find it and take it with me to the exam.

well, take the object that has the simplest form. a running shoe has a lot of detail so don't take that

ear ring and hair accessories and such are small so it can be hard to transfer it to paper

most of the "organic stuff" can have a lot of detail so I wouldn't go with any of them

the class room bin seems like one of the easiest options, since it's basically just like drawing a cube/cylinder (depending on its shape)

The classroom bin would have to include the content of it.
There's huge clay pieces thrown out everyday so I dont think thats an option

if you draw if from the side, you can barely see what's actually inside the bin, right?

Oh yeah.... I could empty the top of it a bit so what is seen is black nothingness
Thanks

>Taking obvious references
4/10

I'm sorry?

You don't have to be, just posting my opinion.

I'm not actually sorry, the question mark and phrase together were supposed to convey confusion and a wish to elaborate. So, elaborate please.

Not sure what elaborate means but i guess it's like "explain yourself" ^^

Well, i just don't like it how people take well know drawings and re-draw them poorly with their own sheme of something. Because that is what the internet does all the time, it is just so uncreativ. sure, in that case it fits in the cuteness somehow but it is so cowardly how you have to take a Calvin and Hobbes reverence with deadmaus and Portal to get some "approval" from "funnyjunk".
it feels like you can't enjoy something without relating it to some popular stuff, just playing save and doing things everyone else would probably like ... impressing people you don't even know.
+ not even scanned
+ not blank paper, looks filthy

Also, kudos on being able to actually tell that's an "Aperture Labs" t-shirt. I didn't even think that anybody would be able to tell, but I tried.

Elaborate does mean just that.

Not scanned, I don't have a scanner I apologize for crappy photos but it's all I have. Crappy paper, this is a doodle. I have some extra time at work and I like to doodle again I apologize for poorer quality.

Let me explain the drawing itself further. I didn't just want to throw references together and whore to the masses. I drew Joel with the aperture t because he's known for being a geeky fan and to have worn it as well as the hat for a visual reference that "calvin" is joel specifically and not just Calvin with deadmau5. I don't even remember how it came to me but the idea of drawing deadmau5 as Calvin and Hobbes just hit me. I really liked the idea of deadmau5's stage personality being like an imaginary friend to Joel. So I doodled this down. I'm sorry it's not up to your expectations but take it all in stride because I'm not shooting for gallery quality, I'm just simply sharing my doodles.

Depends on your knowledge in drawing humans/womans itself, there are plenty of tutorials and step-by-step things to see how a head is formed and stuff

I cant draw.

Than why the fuck are you beeing part of an art exam ?

I dont even know.
They just threw me in there because there was space...

Is it for school or are you doing this for some kind of work ?

school

Well, alleksi already made an really helpful comment with a lot of tutorials which seem to be nice i have to say. good luck doing whatever you're going to do but keep that "i can't draw, i can't to shit " attitude for you self cunt, you're not helping us or yourself with that.

Just stating the level of my drawings in the simplest and most factual way possible.
I didn't have a choice but to do that class and now I have to do the exam.

I'm watching all of them right now

Draw a man

Remove penis

Add boobs

>Only the face

okay a serious answer.

I'm assuming that it's a very basic art course, so getting a good score shouldn't be all that hard.

realistic face:
don't try to COPY what these videos teach you, but rather try to understand them. in proko's examples he is mostly drawing A MAN, so if you just straight up copy him, you'll end up with a man!

how to draw a female head (it's a pretty useless tutorial if you don't understand anything about the anatomy of the head so check the videos above first) www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UPuEmgUEK8
proportions of the adult female head (just look at the video and listen what he says, the "guidelines" aren't much help to you in the exam) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3QMDC86gfE
how to draw female noses www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1I6sA-Jl7g
how to draw hair www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4KssWwHSRc

these wont be THAT much help to you because you only have less than a day to take these all in...so just go trough them and try to keep them in mind when you're in the exam.

basically. don't just instantly draw the finished lines and be done with it in 10 minutes. construct it

Finished watching
I love you

I love your comments m8

YES SIR.
Thanks

With boobs

I only have to draw the face.
I dont know how

I'm not sure your level of skill, if the project has to be done in a style or not but I find youtube to be a surprisingly useful source.

Here's a video of how to do a basic drawing of a female face as seen from the front.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPB_L6kS2rc

lets say I cant even draw a house.
Im shit.

It has to be done so it looks nice

Well I'd suggest checking that video, it'll be helpful in the basics of drawing a face,.

Make sure to bring a pencil and eraser, take your time and I'd suggest practicing now.

Use reference and try it out today.

If you're in high scool/middle school(secondary school if overseas) then your teacher should be grading you on effort or application of principles taught and not on if it can be sold at a gallery or not. So just try your best and get some practice in while you have the time.

It's a state examination.

I also have to draw a leaf... http://www.how-to-draw-cartoons-online.com/how-to-draw-a-leaf.html This should do right?

I'm gonna fail it anyway

That should do. The thing that helped me the most when I was starting to learn to draw was to start with larger basic shapes and then start to fill in the details. Use an internal structure with lines(much like a skeleton) to help you with detail and pose.

I don't know what a state exam entails in art(I never took one) but as long as you put in some sort of effort I'd assume they'd give you a passing grade.

Even the teacher says that I cant draw.
