First up, Milkis. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb423/erwinnie0the0pooh/milkis1_fn1.png) Reference picture is from Ghostclaw's album: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://ghostclaw.smugmug.com/Other/MLG-anaheim-2011/i-X9tf8qQ/0/M/DSC3636-M.jpg) It's hard to get used to a new pen, I must say T-T'' But please, comments and criticism are welcome. I just want to get better. If you're reading this Milkis, I'm sorry if you think it looks bad/embarrassing. I have no intention of making you look horrible   | ||

I don't really think the pic looks like Milkis... My guess is you're used to the symbol system! Try instead of drawing symbols of what you deem to be specific objects, to instead draw nameless shapes and features of Milkis's face as you see them. If you want to go for more of a caricature then just identify things that people will notice when they see Milkis, and exaggerate them -really hard to do if you can't do the first part (about drawing what you see without symbols, etc.). | ||

Ah, thank you, good sir ^^ The article you linked is also very interesting. I will try this on my next attempt. | ||

You captured the gentle demeanor quite well. The hair is cool too. Lines are a bit sketchy, but that's unavoidable and gets better with time/practice with the tablet. Being aware of the line quality doesn't hurt though. Careful with the neck. Esp the left shoulder side(his left).It is a good habit to use a quick reference,, even a cartoon one, for challenging parts. Shoulders are a bit square. Milkis has a diff body language going on, like a shy cuddly hunching. Overall it's a nice pic and hope you have fun and do more  | ||

If you are serious about getting better at drawing/painting its all about practice, much the same as sc, you need good resources and then put the theory into practice. Your painting is very manga/anime, and that's a stylistic choice, but every great manga/anime artist knows his anatomy inside out and can accurately draw realistic people as well. If you want to take a look at the cream of the crop computer generated images check out conceptart.org and CGHUB there are a lot of useful links ranging from tablet control to beginning portraiture. If you can get your hands on any Andrew Loomis books they will teach you how to draw both the human body and portraits with a lot of depth. You will learn to see things differently (literally) and its one of the coolest things ever ;D. The best advice I can give you right now is put down the tablet pen and pick up a pencil/brush, get a sketchbook and just mass draw. Drawing is essentially visual problem solving in space (you'll understand once you learn some basics). Once you learn how to paint and draw traditionally, learning the tablet is easy, it's just another medium. Good luck on your artistic journey if you decide to pursue art a bit farther as a hobby or something more ;D If you are interested you can respond/PM me and ill gladly direct you to some books/resources you might find useful = ] | ||
