But....if you want critisism...The hands are a bit less detailed...they look like spanners.
Are you liking Lascaux?

My first furry

LightBen (Jan 22, 2004)

Instead of drawing a human character, I tested a furry.
I dunno if it's good so tell me about it (I need to know how to draw a furry for a game I'll make ... someday).

he's cute, but you might wanna make his nose a bit smaller and the fur on his chest is kinda weird >>;
but nice

marcello (Jan 22, 2004)

haha.
I agree about the chest fur, not that you shouldn't put any, but the lines don't have the same quality as everything else.

staci (Jan 23, 2004)

Glad to see you are practicing! Great idea for getting the hang of shading, highlighting and blending. I think you are on the right track. His chin looks the best of everything so far. Try exaggerating the lights and darks a little, blending with the same graduating color values in between the two. And dont let anybody scare you off! Youre doing fine! :)
Oh yeah, I have a small off the comp. "homework" assignment for you to do. Take some objects from around the house - relatively simple ones - books, fruit from the fridge, stuff like that, and arrange them on a table under and to one side of a lamp, where the light source casts definite shadows. Just sit there and LOOK AT THEM. Mentally note where the shadows and highlights are. The next day, get a sketch pad and a pencil, crayola, whatever floats your boat, and roughly sketch it, concentrating on the darks, lights, and values of color in between. This will help you more than anything, I think.
Just one more thing - keep in mind that faces are extremely difficult to do, even for experienced artists. For your next drawing, try doing a still life of simple, inanimate objects.

haha...homework *groan* lol, jk. thanks, i will definitely do that! thanks again for all your help!! youre awesome! (oops..just realized im outta space on this one...dunno if theyll let me go on anyway...oh well.)

A. What's that in his hand?
B. It's a tipper.
A. ...... A tipper.
B. Yeah.
A. With glowing ends?
B. ... It's a magical glowing tipper... when you play it spurts sparks out the end. Oh, but it doesn't ruin your bodhran, oh no. Just some... special effects.
A. ... I see......... Hey, can I--
B. No.

Just an experiment with light.

*stamps foot* ok. im trying to fix this ongoing shading problem i seem to have. but dangit *stamps foot again* its not working. this is what i have so far...can anyone point out something i am doing wrong...right? *help*

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 21, 2004)

HAHA. No foot stomping. I just put comments on your other pics, go read those and then come back to this one. Now, you have already made some progress. You have a light source (an obvious one) and you made some highlights hitting her hair. Youve got the idea. Except since it's coming from behind her we cant do much with that. If we pretend its coming more from the left, you can add some highlights to the left side of the picture (her right side) try highlighting that side of her face, arm and her dress, graduating the color value to lighter the closer it is to the light source. Just keep working at it! : )

staci (Jan 22, 2004)

i agree with archer..good idea..light source..improvement...etc. pehaps you should start off with some inanimate objects. or just faces...and make your canvas bigger so you arent trying to squeeeeeeze all this detail in.

Childlike_Vampire (Jan 22, 2004)

This seems really obvious, but the most "smack your forehead duh" kind of good advice that helped me with shading was to "make your darks darker and your lights lighter". The higher the contrast between the light and the dark, the more 3d a picture looks. ^^

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 22, 2004)

Yes, Dixie! Both of the above great advice! Read and heed... :)
