Hello there, I'm still not very experienced in drawing but I would like to hear (or see because, as I know, this ISN'T actual talking :O) some comments. I already know the background is NOT awesome. Still trying to be a little better but that was the most 'Not that bad' bg. I also have totally no idea what kind of furry it is. He just popped out of my head...it still hurts. Well, I'm on to my next image...

You seriously need to work on proportion and perspective. His arms are longer than his body, his upper body dwarfs his lower body. The bucket of "Water" is larger than the mop - and because of the perspective - its probably 2-3 times larger than the person in the foreground. The railing in not in the perspective at all along with - pretty much everything. The ropes look more like noodles and lack any perspective. Water on the deck would not be purple, water is clear - the deeper the water the more it uses the reflection of whats around it and darker. On a cloudy day the water is grayish, on a clear day the water is blue- if the water is not very deep the sand or rock or vegetation also messes with the color. The light blue Caribbean waters are because of the white sand and the shallowness, its more clear water and the reflection of the blue sky. Really deep water takes longer for the sky to reflect the color and so it gets darker and darker as it reflects less and less the further down it goes.

The water on deck would be more evenly spread across the deck, depending on if the wood is treated right the would would soak up some of the water making it look darker where wet, otherwise you might see a faint reflection in the water and maybe some light reflecting around the edges at least to show that its water.

Thanks Sage, there's a lot I need to work on for my backgrounds and that comment really helps. *glomps Sage* I'll try to work harder to look for the whole perspective thing that I lack completly :D

I do like the style of you drawings. I guess Sage is right about perspective, but for me that's not quite so important. This is a nicely balanced picture.

It was puzzling me for a while, but I think this reminded me of a David Hockney's pictures - who's art I quite like - his water is often blue too.

As furry art, of which I've seen alot, goes...You do pretty well with profile type drawings. Perspectives are hard, and you won't get anywhere with those unless you learn proportions. You need to know the size of body parts in relation to the rest. For the arms, remember, your hands will generally reach to your pockets when hanging. Also remember that the closer something is, the bigger it will be. This is the difficult stuff but you have to learn it. Try finding some kind of anatomy book, and sketch out the pictures inside. Its good that your not afraid to try new things.

I commented on it with my deviant account.
Just read what I said there. (I'm 'the captain' :P )

Ok, it looks like the last one, but I think the background is better....ok maybe not the "boat" but the sea and the island looks good. The first picture was the way I saw the character that my friend wanted to me to draw. This one was the way she "posed" for 1 sec. Next image, same character but in a more interesting scene...well that's what I have in mind.

That's it, I'm out...

I wanted to try something for this drawing. I mixed shadows from the original sketch, some shadows from the coloring and added lighting. It was more practice for lighting than anything else for this one, hope I achieved it.

I wanted to do some fan art from video games for a while. You can try to guess who this is, EASY !

New image :P FINALLY... I had this sketch for more than a month and I couldn't use the same technique for this one, I tried a different approach and here's the result O.o



Comments are always welcome ^^
Next time I'll try to use colors more dark, to make it look more real. (At least I'll try to do that :P)

Ahhh... spend too much hours on that...



I just tried something new for the colors. Quite happy about it. Comments are highly appreciated to know what I can improve (there is a lot a improvment I could use :P ). I'll probably try to draw a character with perspective now. Not now, but maybe tomorrow...need sleep now :shock:

Why is it so dark? :?

I just wanted a new style of coloring, and I didn't want that it looks like too much of a drawing that came out from a cartoon.

Well, I have to say I like it, but he looks like he's standing in a room with the lights turned off.

it's.. odd, unique... and very, Very dark.
