[Havel]

OVERWHELMING POISE, BOYS! That's my dude! I wear half of his armor set in DS3!

nathanandersonart responds:

I tend to prefer less armor for maneuverability, but I won't lie when I say that Havel's set realllly comes in handy for certain situations (here's looking at you, Four Kings)!

She cute, and this is allllmost there. Its doodly, but there's enough strength in the character design to hint at an artistic awareness, a comprehension of anatomy, and a realized style that is within all great artists.

Anatomically, people have difficulty with feet, so they'll often just focus on characters in a medium shot or pose them in such a way where it hides their feet. Here, I would've wanted to see you draw the rest of her in the kneeling pose, but she fades away. Limbs become phantom, and you live another day having not drawn a knee or an other foot.

An experience that helped me grow as an artist could help you too. If you have the opportunity to do a live nude sketch model session, do it. This will hone any anatomy difficulties you might be running into.

If thats unavailable...well, we're on the internet. Look up models, and time yourself with your phone. Set alarms, 30 minutes, 15, 10, 5 minutes, and do a different pose each time, working on speed, your brain takes note of the rest as you try and get the whole person down on a sketchpad. This will make you faster and stronger as an artist.

There's clearly a lot of potential in your work to be better than it is today, and I want to see you challenge yourself and improve!

I was immediately drawn from the thumbnail but I hoped there'd be more context included in the piece. The facial expression successfully conveys the character trying to process multiple clashing emotions, and that can be extremely difficult to pull off. Good job! Watch your line quality.

[Helia & Cara]

Cuties! Great jorb!

[Balthazar, the Punk Paladin]

Cast smite righteously, and rock on!

[T-35 Papercraft]

Wow! That's really cool!

[Wood Ducks Falling]

Missed opportunity to have an open alligator mouth or a wood-chipper surprise at the very bottom.

These are adorable and wholesome and I love and appreciate you for it.

[RAMONA]

I love everything about her attitude and the grit in the line work. Loveley color decisions too!

[The Great Turtle Race Continues!]

This is so cool! Too many great details to praise, I just love this piece!

I don't get it
