I was gonna put these in the original doodle thread, but since it's such a big post, I decided to put them here.

Been experimenting with different styles, but haven't done anything serious in a while. Been taking anatomy classes to, and as you can see, they aren't really paying off yet. I'll continue to work on it.
Does your work involve boards? Are you some kind of woodworker?

You'd have to be pretty bored to start drawing on boards!
It's true, I have splinters all over my hands... How's the sketches though :D
They look really fakeanime to be honest.
I hate them all. DRAW SOMETHING FROM THE HEART MAN.
The Heather sketch is the only one I can really get worked up about.

Don't you animate a cartoon show?

I used to, but the market's really bad at the moment. :(

Too bad. Did you ever finish that top secret cartoon you could only show us a couple screen shots of?

Which one was that? And why would I have shown it to you?
Quote from: SnakeClock;1634238Which one was that? And why would I have shown it to you?
It was like this one with these kids in a forest and you had it posted in a thread because you were showing how you animated.

Um... well, if it's the one I'm thinking of, then yes, I did finish that. I got $800 for working on it. :D

(If you want to pursue that style)
Quote from: Golden Clock;1634245The Heather drawing does seem to be the only decent one there, because it has a good structure, although it does look like you're copying a Kim Possible style.
Maybe a bit, but I think it's got too much defined shape for that, rather than Kim being a bunch of curved lines. :p
Still, he has a point; your creative references
are quite lackluster.

nice
yuck
Meh, going with what Soap and snake said.
books
Actally, I wasn't playing off anime at all. (Unless you count drawing Avatars characters...) What I mean is, I wasn't trying to imitate anime. In fact, I'm drawing inspiration from The Nine Old Men, Stephen Silver, (Hence the Kim Possibleiness) and Harald Siepermann. As I've said, I am taking anatomy classes, which have yet to pay off... I'm not an arrogant teenage "artist" who thinks he's great, I'm trying to improve myself. I wasn't blessed with artistic vision, so learning to draw has been a struggle, But I'm working on it. Having no depth perception doesn't really help either. Thanks for the constructive criticism, I really do appreciate it. :)
Oh! And the Kirby one is a joke. That was actually me, my friends Shane, Sean, and my little brother very late at night.
Quote from: TheCheshireClock;1635001The Nine Old Men
Sure.
Quote from: SnakeClock;1635009Sure.
Okay then
those arent very good
i find looking at the art of artists who can draw like how i want to draw helps me figure out how to go about drawing things also anatomy classes should help but a drawing class with figure drawing worked for me
Quote from: mauserclock;1635034those arent very good
I know. That's why I seek advice.
When you say "The Nine Old Men", do you mean classic Disney in general? Because they're not exactly like the Group of Seven; their artistic similarity is difficult to ascertain.

It's not that I'm trying to draw just like them, I could never hope for that, but I like the way they express their characters, how they just come to life.
