Vegedus, the blocky tats are the suppose to be the tips of guns... it's not suprising that it's hard to tell what the tattoos are. And about the chains being perfectly square, they aren't. I did TRY to make them flow over the skin and apparently didn't do to good a job.

Thanks for though comments and critiques everyone, even though alot of it was bickering (not that I mind though).

Critique per request.

Line art is shaky, I'm not sure exactly what your going for but if you want clean hard line art make quick complete motions or slow confident motions. Sketchy(both for inking and sketching ironically) is often a big negative, it supports bad habits. Learn to make neat accurate motions it will be good I swear.

your color looks like you use large hard brushes. If your going to use larger brushes use higher opacities or softer edged brushes, you'll benefit. If your going to do 3 tone cell shading try a smaller brush and make sure your areas of shadow are at least as exact as your line art. Also the three tones you use for color aren't corresponding to shadow base and highlight. I don't know exactly how to describe it but the tones are not right. look at other pictures and realize that making something a few shades darker does not make it the correct shadow and making it a few brighter does not make it a highlight(sometimes it does though).

Your anatomy needs work, Your arms are the wrong length and the left arm inparticular is misshapen. and the chest is the correct size but the breast are not the same size or falling correctly. The waist and hips are too small. The head is almost the correct size for the torso, but the eye is too large and the hair does not flow. On top of this your pose is off enough to look unnatural.

Your clothing does not wrinkle accurately(admittedly this is REALLY hard to do).

Do some life drawing, It'll help, draw realistic objects and people. Anime and similar styles are corrupted if you do not understand why they interpret the features and designs the way they do. work from photos and other reference materials this will help you alot.

Do not misconstrue my critique as harsh, I mean it in good will, you have alot of things partially right but only partially so. It seems like you know in your head the method of how to create a good piece of art you just haven't gotten to the stage where you can apply all the elements can come together and makes something complete.

You can't improve what I'm suggesting quickly, it's not a head thing its a visual perception thing and it must be hammered into your head. It will take hundreds of hours if your lucky.

I can expand upon any of the points I made simply ask, I do try to be concise.

Good starting ground:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/mcpn70 (wonderful anatomy tutorial)
http://www.posemaniacs.com/ (gesturals are good and good for you)
http://kitten-chan.deviantart.com/art/T ... e-36369693 (this person has more, but I hate sifting through their gallery)
http://stevensanchez.deviantart.com/gal ... ORIAL-VIDS (great tips here)
http://www.youtube.com/user/markcrilley (good vids in gallery)

There are quite a few good tutorials on deviant and of course I'm having trouble finding the ones i like(word of caution there are also alot of REALLY bad tutorials).

Heh, this was actually done on purpose, sorry about that. I didn't fell like making clean lineart that time.

Thanks for the critique, I'll look into it.

Here Zoul, I forgive you. A little something since you didn't like half naked Women. Can't leave A good guy like you hanging now can I?

For Zoul!! Warning NSFW

It would be a waste if I didn't post it since I already drew it.

No critique since it was just for fun

Aww, this thread is lovey dovey again.


Heh, actually, I had a hunch about both. I did think it looked a bit like guns, but I wasn't sure. I also couldn't properly tell if you had actually attempted to make the tat's curve and it was just the smallness that didn't make the effect clear. The chains aren't perfectly square, but it was hard to tell if you made it so on purpose, or just a shaky inking hand. Even if you did attempt to do it, you should probably make them curve more. In general too, of course.

Thought I'd post 'em

Well, women have muscles too. Stands to figure that if a woman really was super-badass and trained all the time, they'd be pretty ripped.

Most people don't draw with that in mind.

Thats propably because its hard to draw muscles in woman without looking like male anatomy.

For example Micheal Angelo Drew woman with many male characteristics ,one of which was musscles that looked like they belonged in a male ( just see some of his paintings,youl see what i mean.

Hee hee XD
