Well, I guess we all need a laugh, so I'll post my art here, just so that you guys can get your laughs.


-This one, I drew... eh... I was working on drawing the "super" form of one of my fancharacters I was going to introduce... And apparently I linked "super form" with "person in armor plating"...

-This is my second attempt at drawing that same super form (Still no feet/shoes, I can't draw those at all :\) I made this one because I felt I drew the first one very off-scale, and I was too lazy to erase it.

Eh, a better-drawn version of my fancharacter, Kaine.
I made him look emo-er in this one, I drew the arms and body frame badly though, I was going to fix them, but I was too lazy.

-Also part of the fancharacter I was going to introduce... Was trying to find a good look for her...

-This one... is another look for her, the quality came out bad, I'll have to scan it again.
Until then, strain your eyes and try to see.

As for the character herself, I'll go so far as to say she's one of the characters I made off of a random impulse when I was 11, I had no background, I had no story, no defined personality or any of that good stuff. All I had was that she has two, err, technically three if you count the super, forms.
Err, she's a pyrokinetic, uhh.... And she likes espresso, that's all I'll tell for now.

Hey, no need to be so embarrassed! All of the artists start off like that. You just need to practice more. I think you need to practice drawing hands. (My personal enemy along with joints and poses). I can see that you've got the proportions already good, so that's a good thing. And...

I JUST LOVE HOW YOU DRAW WEAPONS =3. I ENVY YOU >O. I can't draw weapons well. Keep up the work and soon you'll draw well =3.

Looks good so far.

I tell you, you're better then I was when I started drawing. You have creativity, just keep that up and you'll be fine. Keep practicing is all I can say. ^.^

Try drawing a "skeleton", or a circle where the joints are going to be, and then draw the figure. It help a lot more, and will help you get use to drawing in proportion. :D Otherwise, everything else just need some slight improvement which can be done with practice. :]

Ann, yeah, I did notice that really fast, I can't draw hands if my life depended on it, nor can I draw a foot.
I'm not sure about your other comment though, the only weapon I thought I drew correctly was the kunai second to last on the left. The image quality was really bad over that one though, I was too lazy to put a book over it when I scanned.

The outfits I drew on them were partially based on how I dress in real life. At least, the non-armored ones. Kaine's, in picture three, has ALOT more fish-net then I will EVER, EVER, EVER wear, though. The outfits I draw are a little more extreme than what I wear in real life, not absurdly though. It's not so much creativity as it is not. I almost directly based these two characters off different parts of myself.

Bk, thanks for the encouragement.

Blinding, I'll try that.
I mean, I've been working off mental pictures and trying to roll with it.
Like, I can SEE the way a hand should look in my mind, but I can't bring that to the paper. I can see the way a foot/shoe should look in a certain direction, but I can't draw it.

You could go look at other drawings, like for example Bio's art, and try to imitate some body part styles that they've done, just to get you on your feet. And then, once you get use to that, you could then work into your own style, while still keeping proportion and making it realistic. :]
