I think it's good. But, his shoulders are WAY too big, in my opinion. Also, his tunic is too short
And, there's SOMETHING about his head, I just don't like. I don't know what though...

[Adem]

The shape of his head is a little off, but I was too lazy to fix it...I agree that the shoulders should be less broad, but every time I erased it and redrew it, they turned out the same or worse. Which was weird. I didn't really think too much about the tunic, but I'll keep that in mind. I didn't use any references, so I wasn't really sure how to draw him. Thanks for the feedback!

EDIT: Accidentally put "same" instead of "shape." Uh?

You're very welcome! I think a good base would be OoX Link. He's my favorite Link



Yours reminded me of him.

I still draw every once in a while. The Dreamer. Pencils on paper. Now to go wild with watercolours, acrlyic and pastels on it. That will be fun.

Edit: Question: Would you say that in the lower panel, you can see a sky with some clouds? I did use a reference for it (for both, the guy and the sky actually) but I don't feel so sure about the sky. It looks a little disorted/ hard to read to me.

Edit2: Finished it. The Dreamer (finished). I actually really like how this turned out. I have a habit of not being very happy with my drawings, but that one looks almost like I envisioned it. Next will be The Lover and The Rebel. If I can motivate myself that is.

@Sheik91: I have to say those Look AMAZING!! . I wish i could draw that good...

Okay Time to show of my Crappy skills in Art of Drawing...:-\

My First real drawing /)^3^(\

As you you see i'm not that great At drawing at all
But i did draw it with looking at nothing to base it off of at all
So It Looks good to me
Any Comments?

[Sheik]

Thank you Anyone can draw, really, it's just about practice. Unless you have Parkinson's or something you can learn to draw like DaVinci himself if you put yourself through enough practice, theory and studies.

Considering you drew it from imagination I'd say it looks fairly good. I'm certainly not a fan of the art style of that show and hence your drawing's, but I see the resemblance.
I suggest you use references and of "real" ponies at best even. You can learn the most when you observe how reality looks (because even those cartoony ponies are just a simplified and stylized interpretation of reality).

@Sheik91: Thanks For the advice I'll sure try to Follow it
And yeah I'll probley Try looking at some Of the Images Of the Ponies
To get A better feel for drawing them
But yeah i have to say For drawing it out of my head Its Pretty good

[Sheik]

Highly suggest it.
I remember drawing since I was five years old (though probably I started earlier and my autobiographic memory simply didn't make a note yet), which is 15 years by now. Had I only spent more time with studies in my most productive phase from 13-18 which I wasted on Manga and Anime art, I would be a lot better by now. But well, I have many years ahead (hopefully), I can still progress a lot and hope to do so. It's just a hobby anyways.

I went to a friend of mine today and we made some stencil art because we are cool like that. Also, she needed something for her portfolio anyways.

Zero Sugar, Zero Tolerance

This is to be understood less as an critique on andorexia but rather on the beauty ideals of our western societies. I'd say the message is pretty straight forward, but that's cool, it's PopArt and PopArt has to be understandable on first sight. Good PopArt anyways.
We made more Pop Art stencils but we took a picture only of that one.

Thoughts?

I really like this one. And I actually saw the sky and clouds before I read your edit, so I guess that's a yes. Nice job!

This one is really cool. I like the way it's designed, and I like the coloring a lot. Not sure what else to say other than, "Nice job!" I find it difficult to bring myself to critique artists who are better than me. It feels hypocritical. Not that I really have any complaints. Again, nice job!

Okay, that's good to know! So, do you like the pencils only version better or is that what I did to it with colour an improovement? I tried loosing the edge anywhere but around the eyes to set the focus and the "random strokes" of yellow paint to lead the eye towards the eyes of the guy. Did I accomplish that goal or does it distract too much?

So thanks, too, for that comment. I'm glad you like colours, they were chosen for two reasons: red/black/white are 1) the coca cola colours and 2) pretty agressive in that combination, so the painting sorta "screams" at you (hopefully) and together with the andorexic girl it's sort ment to "push you away" and look uncomforting.

I think it works well The yellow is a bit bright for my tastes, but the more I look at it, the more I appreciate it.

That's pretty nifty! Interesting stuff.

This is a Monster called "Steel Armor" From a great game called
"Okage:Shadow king"
I was playing the game and ran across this menacing suit of armor that looked so cool I had to draw it
Sadly after drawing it I got a game over XD
But still I'm proud of how it turned out.
