Sky's Quest For Greatness

Sun Jan 20, 2008, 6:13 PM
Hello. This is :iconskystalker:

I have created this account for the purpose of recording, and displaying, my progress in the building blocks of art. Be it Anatomy, Perspective, Gesture, Landscapes, or small study sketches, I will be posting those things here.

This account is strictly for my learning, so know this; If you do watch or comment me, at least add SOME sort of helpful feedback. Whether it be something wrong with a picture, or something you think I should try. I will hide all comments that have none of these. Here's an example:

---------------------------------------------

Good

Deviant: Hey, this is alright! You could work a bit on the facial features, though. They seem a little out of place. Keep it up!

NOT good

Deviant: nice drawing keep it up.

-----------------------------------------------

I will not be visiting your page or offering to trade watches on this account if you comment me with nothing but praise. If, however, someone who is also studying the basics like me wants to swap watches so we may critique each other, I wouldn't mind that. :)

So there you have it. I will do my very best to update this account frequently to show my progression.

Remember; for silly little comments on my regular art, go to :iconskystalker: (Though I wouldn't mind some critique there, too...) :D

Hello, I'ma watch your account. Maybe we can help each other out with some good critique; it's hard to find people who are willing to dish out honest criticism so I'll take anyone I can get.

Tell me what you think.

Keep up the good work, if you keep at those studies and practice every day it'll really pay off.
:iconbiomanz:
The main thing I noticed is your work seems more on the "cartoony" side because of the hard lines - remember irl you seldom if ever see hard outlines on objects. It might help to sketch the image lightly, then fill it with shading/detailing instead of just outlining it harshly.

Second, the human face is complex. It might help to sketch the eyes, nose, and mouth in detail as separate drawings or just concentrate on each as if they're separate - drawing section by section (after outlining the overall pic of course) is easier than thinking of drawing one big picture.

Also get the proportions right. An image won't look right no matter the detail if a curve is out of place.

If you're aspiring to draw realistically then you'll need a good understanding in perspectives and lighting. Overall, it takes time and practice, and the worst thing is become discouraged by your own work.

Yeah...I've done cartoony stuff for so long, it's been horribly difficult to get out of. You know, the whole comfort zone bit. I'm trying to slip out of that though. I'll take what you said in mind about the lines. ^^;

The face...Especially when it's small, that also becomes difficult. I'm terrible with tiny details, but I'll remind myself to practice that as well. I also like the idea of treating each part of the face as an individual drawing. That may just help me a lot.

Thank you very much for the input. ^^ It means a lot to me, and I'm sure it'll help me a lot in the long run.

Hope to see some vast imrovement in your anatomy skills! Can't wait!

They say that druggies and junkies have no place in our society. That is NOT true. We could always get them to work at the Red Cross.
