Title: Smiffy, clock monster

Doodled this in an English lesson at college and i was a little bit proud of it. A little bit, not a lot.

Pretty cool. Reminds me a bit of Stoopid's old stuff. Dirty lines are nice and all, but it does hide mistakes. Show us some clean-line drawings. Ribcages are curvy, not trapezoidal. For the wings to work they need to be proportional, so there's no excuse for them not showing through the space under his arms. If they're supposed to be like bat wings, I know a few things that might benefit. It shows show some improved sense of depth from the last drawings of yours that I've seen, and control of style & æsthetic.

haha, that's pretty amazing. you should draw some more of these, seeing finely drawn scribbles is always fun to see, part of it being you never know what you're going to draw!

I always love just ink and paper drawings. The sense of morbidness they give off is my love. PLus that's just an epic drawing. The nose adds a cherry.

I love the work you did on the arm to our left, and the proportions on the clocks are great! :)

I agree with what Loki said about the wings, though. And I don't feel that the backs of them should be showing as much as they are.

If they were, the wings would be bent like this:

and a winged creature wouldn't naturally do that, unless they were posing. Creatures that fold their wings up tend to do it with the back all facing the one side.

The 'wings' were supposed to be flags :P

That makes more sense. Not a big banner drawer, but I imagine this reference will be of help: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beothuk/49783729/

Clean lines will help in that, once you've drawn the points where the flag is pinned to the pole (and I would personally consider that an important detail), people will not confuse the bumpy geometry with rough stylization.

-Think about how they should fold.
Note that your flags don't fold, even though they are completely limp. They should also fold from tension on the places where the flag is pinned to the pole - those places are taking the whole force of the pole's resistance.

-Think about direction.
The flags are attached to the poles at the side facing the viewers, which implies that they should be straight and billowing in the wind when the wind is blowing from behind him. Sensibly, the wind should be blowing towards him so that the greatest effect is reached when he's careening in your general direction. So we should see the poles in front of the flags.
