My Awesome Artwork

Okay here are some of the Drawings I made, either from the past or present, and heres the first one.


This is the best MS Paint I made EVER! I'm so excited to show it to everyone!


Here is the first Super Smash Bros. Brawl drawing I made. I showed it to my friends and they think its AWESOME!

The last one is just of a man in some clothes.

There's nothing more to say about him.

Okay so I showed you all a few of my works so comment on it. Tell me the good and bad of this so I can improve my artistic abilities. If you have recommendations, I'll try to do them but it might take awhile. Well anyway here's my art. If you want to see more, go to the "My Drawings" album on my homepage.

Hey! You're pretty good!

You definitely shade well, that's for sure.

You just need to work on anatomy and your pictures will look spectacular. :]

Yeah. The human anatomy is the hardest thing to do (and animals 'cause I really want to draw Wolf Link). The hands, ears and nose are the things on the face that I hate dearly. Thanks for commenting on shading. Everyone says that and asks me how I do it. All I do really is just darken the part farthest from light and smudge its way over. For the dude, I did like a cell-shading thing because its way easier.

While they're well done at times, I think people should stray away from copying official art from games in pencil, as they should draw their own compositions instead of someone else's.

As for the other two, I just think you need to brush up on anatomy a bit, I suggest reading up on Burne Hogarth, Andrew Loomis, and Joseph Sheppard.

Burne Hogarth has helped me the most recently, his books are really useful for coming up with dynamic poses and anatomy. His ability to draw hands is amazing.

Andrew Loomis is also another great instructor to help you start, his faces especially are really nice.

Joseph Sheppard uses a more classical sense of anatomy, his figures have a lot of mass to them, as opposed to Hogarth's (while they have mass, they're more superheroic.)

You can register for a free account at Scribd.com and you can download any books for free, it has the complete Loomis collection, and all of the Hogarth stuff you'll need.

Hope this helps.

Okay. I'll read up on them. Plus your artwork is fantastic. Probably because its your drawings and not copies of Nintendo's. Yeah I think I should stray away from copying but everyone does it and it gives them a chance to see if the drawing looks almost identical to the official art. For the human anatomy, I'll work on it, but all artist have their way of drawing. Me, its drawing people with shorter shoulders, larger heads, and larger or smaller feet. But that doesn't mean I'll stick to it. I've changed my art style quite awhile so I'm waiting for a sign to say "this is your style".

Your eye for shading and texture is fantastic! perspective, proportion, and anatomy need work.

I like the clothing that your dude guy is wearing. His face is really well-done too.
The shading on Link and his clothes look fantastic. It's funny that I noticed he kinda looks cross-eyed... but then I remembered that when I was playing TP, I always thought Link looked a little cross-eyed. Makes him look wimpy to me (because of Nintendo's design, not your drawing).

I'd never have the necessary patience to do a MSpaint Line drawing like that!

Well for the MS Paint one, I used the pencil thingy to sketch the skeleton of Link in light blue (if you look closely at his right foot (to the left) you'll see some blue I forgot to erase) then I traced over it with the pink. when I finished I saved it 'cause my Paint does random errors and you'll have to restart the whole thing if you forget to save. D: And yes I know my human anatomy sucks but thats why I put it on to see what I can do to improve.

I'd say one way to improve your anatomy is to draw the "skeleton" first, to get the limb lengths and angles right and proportional. At the early stages of a drawing you should focus on the overall picture. If you focus on one part at a time, like "Here's the head, now here's the shoulders, now here's an arm, now here's his torso..." and so on, the sum of the parts won't mesh together as a larger whole.

But I do that! It might be the way I picture how my people will come out. I start with the head, then shoulders, torso, arms, etc. so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. D:

Wow, the detailing is so great.
Your Link Brawl picture is so detailed and fantastic.

I reallt can't wait for more from you.

I think this is fantastic. And i love how you shaded Link. B ut hey, forums are for getting constructive critique and help you with improving so i really think your anatomy is going to be better n_n

Thanks. I'll try my anatomy on someone, possibly Ike 'cause he has a muscular contour and he seems proportionate. Next I'll try making an animal to show you all and to see if it needs improving (which it might )

Well while we wait for possibly Ike and/or an animal. I'll show you something I'm working on now.



This is Link vs. Gohdan. I need help on inking the top of Gohdan's head. I want some detail on it but I want it to be in the shadow of his face (the light is coming from the bottom). So any advice?

Okay here's my Ike outline.

So tell me, is it proportionate? Is it okay? Tell me what I need to improve before I start shading.

Oh wow that's great! I see what you mean about wanting some shadows. unfortunately I don't know much about light-sources and shading. However, I can say this picture is really farking sweet even without any shading!

It's almost there. Very close. I think his torso is a little too long, and that his hands should come farther down his leg, just a little. However, this is still an improvement and almost perfect. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Nice work, really nice work. You will produce some good stuff in the future if you continue doing this well too. :]

The ike one looks nice so far. I would look carefully at how low you have his crotch though... his thighs seem to be a bit small or his pelvis too large.

I think that if you just overall make his legs longer, and slightly move up his pelvis (the general box shape above his thigh) then it would be ok to leave the torso as long as you have it. I like the shape you have with his torso.

I had the pelvis alittle higher at first but it seemed odd to me so that's why I lowered it but I can change it back.

OMG your AMAZING i love your drawings!!!

YES! I FINISHED IKE!!!

Okay maybe it's not all good. The anatomy is what I was working on so tell me if it's better than the sketch. If you like the shading which I rushed on in the end, then comment on that.

Okay so here's another cool picture I was thinking of drawing.

This is Link and going-to-be-Zelda Venetian Style Renaissance Festival. I just played Assassins' Creed II at a friend's house and I had this thought of what if the Zelda series continues to the renaissance era? what would they where? would it look like italy? so I drew these with the thought and google images of Venetian Festival costumes and masks to draw these. I didn't draw ganondorf but i do have an idea for him. his mask will resemble Ganon the pig and his clothes will resemble TP Ganondorf like I did with Link and Zelda (though you might not be able to see her's).

So comment on these as well as Ike, Link vs. Gohdan, and/or the other drawings.

I don't know how I missed this before! I really like this picture!
The shadows really add to the effect and make Gohdan menacing. It's such a cool look, just black-and-white. I don't have any particular advice about how to shade the top of the head, but you've done a great job so far!

Yeah I posted it awhile ago (duh) and I assumed that people would check it to see if I posted something new 'cause I did right (i think) that I'd be posting new pictures on this so keep a look out. Maybe i did or maybe i said it while typing and forgot. Thanks for the kind comment and for your truth of not knowing how to shade the top. I put this picture aside till i get some good advise so I wont mess it up.
