These look really waxy, actually, a few creases and 'wrinkles' like on real lips would work. Sorry if that doesn't make sense.
Also,I'm not sure if this is true with everyone, but the bottom lip is usually fuller than the top ^^;

Nice shapes though, and the smiling one is really well done.

Thank your brain for your drawings

well, here is my mascot. its a brain, not done, but it will be good. your brain is where you get all your creativity, so, the mascot should be, YOUR brain.

The resemblance to a California Raisin is uncanny... cousins, perhaps?

You should replace one of his legs for a paintbrush.
Or... Stab a pencil through him..
I think he should have some reference of art.

He should have a brain stem whip for punishing bad guys! (and for his wife to punish him in bed. Grrrrr!!)

still a beginner?

lilypad (Mar 4, 2004)

do you think that i'm ready for intermediate? i can't tell 'cause i've seen some really good stuff in beginner, but yet, i've seen really bad stuff in intermediate. don't judge my art by this pic...please. look at my other pics and then tell me. or judge me by this if you think it's intermediate stuff. PLEASE! i need to know!

Anatomy is the study of the human body, its proportions, and how it works. To study anatomy, you can read books on the subject (there are plenty of them out there, most of which have drawing exercises to help you improve), take a drawing class that emphasizes drawing the figure, or, quite simply, observe and draw others to see how the body looks in verious poses, in rest, in motion. It's all about practice.
And, hey, no need to feel like an idiot... the human body is probably the hardest thing to draw, and most everyone has trouble with it at some point. (Anatomy can also be for potential doctors and nurses, but those classes are generally fairly different from the classes taken by artists. O_o )

Childlike_Vampire (Mar 4, 2004)

I am going to be honest and say I don't think you're ready for intermediete. I barely am, myself. But you have improved, that is true. Plus there is no hurry to be intermediete or anything else, art is about fun not skill level, imho.

Mazi's awesome tutorial list.

foxman8245 (Mar 4, 2004)

nice lily..... makes me feel kinda happy :-)

lilypad (Mar 5, 2004)

gotcha...i didn't really think i was intermediate yet....<maybe when i get a tablet...or not>
