Tell me what you guys think?

[Kodiakclock]

sucks

[AnkhClock]

It's not good. There's no sense of anatomy, it's in some poorly done anime knock-off style, the lines are uniformly thick and crooked, and it's a video game character. On the other hand if Grey makes another video game art collab, yours should be a shoe-in.

I'm aware of it, this was my first. You don't have to be a total jerk about it. I'm a PS n00b. :/

Ankh and Ribs at least told you some of the things that were wrong with it. Snide or rude as they may seem it's helpful criticism, they're telling you not to make those same mistakes in the future.

What can brown do for you

[AnkhClock]

I just did some brown.

things I notice immediately:

• horrible sense of lighting
• bad choice of photoshop brush
• anime eyes and a chin that could poke an eye out (more likely considering the god forsaken size of those eyes)
• lack of depth in any sense of the word
• wow that's a tiny scarf
• wow that everything is just

HOW TO FIX THIS PART NEGATIVE ONE OF INFINITY:

DO NOT START OFF DRAWING FROM YOUR "IMAGINATION," DRAW THINGS YOU ACTUALLY SEE FIRST. LEARN FROM OBSERVATION OF ACTUAL THINGS AND NOT FROM WATCHING CARTOONS OR ANIME OR WHATEVER THE HELL. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.

HOW TO FIX THIS PART ONE OF INFINITY:

The first step to any good human piece is an understanding of anatomy, and while I don't care if you adopt an anime style or whatever the hell, all talented artists (yes even talented anime artists) know anatomy enough to morph it into whatever style (cartoony or not) while retaining the perception of being proportioned correctly.

Here's a guideline that you should keep around but feel free to take subtle liberties if you're not completely I'm a edgy teen: a head should be proportioned around 2x3x3 (width,height,depth) and an adult body around 5-7 heads tall and (mostly if male) being around 2.5 heads wide (shoulder to shoulder)

A face (if looked at from the front) consists of three almost equally divided regions: the chin-to-mouth, the nose-to-eyebrows, and then the forehead, not just the facial features covering the entire front

Also, no one uses condescendingly large and misproportioned eye balls because everyone realized how stupid it looked

blah blah blah something LEARN TO DRAW REAL PEOPLE AND PROPORTIONS FIRST

STEP TWO OF INFINITY:

Get the lighting right. Apparently the light in your pic is coming from the top left it can't seem to decide when it comes down to it. Also, the way you've put the shadows implies a certain form to this person that scares me deeply. Imagine the objects in a 3d landscape (I hope to god you can imagine) and where the light source is coming from and what that light would hit and what it wouldn't. I'm getting lazy and I can't find the lighting tutorial I liked before so you just gotta figure out working out your drawings in a 3D plane in your mind and you should be better than right now

the problem is that most people who draw anime only want to draw anime and nothing else
