how's my sketch?

Her left hand is somewhat out of proportion and she has a lump on her left shoulder, apart from that it's quite good. Is that a snake's tongue I see coming out of her pants?

No I really can draw, when I go home tonight I'll take some pics of some of the drawings I've drawn with my shitty camera phone when I go home later. They're pretty good, I even worked for a comic book "company" for a brief period. The reason I use the term company vaguely is because the company never actualy got to go. It was back when the HST taxes were being implemented and added an extra 40,000$ to the cost of starting a new company like this that was going to be called Gibbous Moon Comics. An east coast company, but I've gotten mail from Image Comics before when I was 16 asking to see more of my work. It's pretty impressive, but artisitic blood seems to be common in my family.

Life stories are so boring....especially yours.

Please stop.

You don't care, remember?

BTW Uaintdrankpee.....rep is right...try to make poses of your characters that are easily readable in silhouette. A more dynamic pose would have helped this sketch.

Her hips look flat and her shoulders are buldged out a bit on top. The colour job fleshes it out ok....but it wasn't really needed.

Also...get your basic forms down quickly. For legs and arms this means using long single strokes to draw them instead of many short ones.

Use several smaller strokes later when "rendering" it with detail but get the main forms in with single strokes first.

BTW...for "rendering" shadows that have a gradient: Use a pencil for drawing the darker areas and get a rough gradient with different pressure or different pencils.

Then put the pencil down and smudge it with your finger...just like photoshop.

She looks like MC Hammer on crack

Those are all portions of a whole. The only pics dark enough for me to actualy be able to capture it on that shitty camera are ones that I did for the company I was talking about. We had to do a couple pages of a sequence that was given to us and those pics are about a third of the whole page (you can tell in the second pic there's more on the side) but that's my style of drawing anyway. It's not too shabby for someone with no formal education in the arts.

Next I'll post the joint I smoked while I was taking pics for you fags.

Kracus, they don't look like they belong in Marvel comics, but i think the first one especially looks pretty good.

Cue a parade of faggots to jump in and say the drawings suck when they couldn't do half as good a job.

I wouldn't say it's my best stuff but that stuff wasn't even properly inked that's just sketched. That's like half finished and it looks better than uaintseencrap stuff.

Properly inked and coloured drawings make a huge difference.

Also you can't see the finer details with the bad camera shots

This one is pretty decent. The dramatic lighting is cool.

But you fucked up the eyes....which is the main feature of this sketch.
