I LOVE the action that you've put into this! It looks like he was going one direction or standing and something extremely curious perked his attention! ^u^
To the left is the motions that I see: 1., (2., 3.). So based on that and a little forces(what I understand), I've tried to show you how I might correct the left leg. 'Hope that helps a bit.
I'm loving this character! Keep up the good work!
PS: I've also placed tracers where I think the tail would hover over the foot, so you can get a fix on where to color in shading.

How are you determining movement in this

-

>>857
Yes. I should've explained better about the action lines. The overall composition has most of it's 'mass' leaning to the character's right side. Since action is majorly driven by movement from the base of the figure(per basic gravity), it's safe to assume that the first action is being driven by the tail, which appears to have almost an equivalent 'mass' to the entire torso. Because of gravity, things often have a predictable movement pattern: low->mid->high, and often coinciding with the way that people look at a picture: biggest to littlest, or brightest to darkest. So in this case, the first thing that I notice is he's leaning and I follow the source to the tail. Lack of negative space is also telling me that most of the potential is on the character's right. The neck appears torqued to the right clavicle(more space on it's left), the spine is tortioned right and arched down. The down movement is the last with the face and 'pedipalps' directing in reverse, back to it's left. Action lines direct your attention across the picture with flowing lines and perspective ques. And that's how I see this, but art is subjective. ker-sigh.

What to do to make Venusaur and Snorlax not so derpy looking? (going for a realistic look btw)
Want to know before its inked.

I hear ya. My line art never looks good enough to me, and I always think it'll look better if I just slap some color into it.

I'll practice a bit more. Till then, have one more for the night. 21 minute cap on this one.

Keep thinking that and you'll end up like Pinkuh. Stuff that looks nice to look at, but is completely soulless.

One trend i'm noticing though: You draw torsos like a rubbery tube instead of as a solid rib cage. Go look at some anatomy images of torsos. :)

some animations for a weapon mod I'm working on... I did the gun and animations, FP arms and art aren't mine

Not furry, but I figured I could still post it here and get crit on it. If I'm lucky somebody here knows a thing or two about animation.

ultra bump. Been sketching out body studies lately.. whipped this out recently.

I still don't have a feel for laying down lines, I'm an undo whore like nothing else... bad habit ;C

i'm rather enjoying your drawings, and this most recent post looks like your refining skills are coming along nicely, i'm not gonna say much more because i'm afraid i might point you in the wrong direction lol

the animation is good, it looks kinda odd, rotated 180 deg on it's side as compared to the drawing that is in the background, it's awefullly... simple... without texturing

oh the arrows point at things i don't particularly like

To solve your dilemma? Three:

1
When I started my major, in my first art class, I was told a group of words to live by. "You can sketch it as many times as you want, but you can only ink the thing once." If it's not inked, you may want to do so before following my advice. DO NOT USE A BALLPOINT PEN. Use either a felt tip pen (pen, not marker) or an artistic pen.

2
I have to assume you have at least some basic colored pencils and some art putty/kneaded erasers/half decent normal erasers that don't streak a page. Do some very light color and you can erase it if you don't like it.

3
If you have transfer/tracing paper, do a dummy run with a sheet of it on top of this piece, with or without it being inked, and you can decide if it's worth it.

a good A4 scanner, like a canon fits any artist's needs and costs like $30. you should get one at your local store, it gets the job done. for a b&w, even a 10yo scanner will make it.

get photoshop. using levels correction you can easily have the equivalent of an outline from the sketch, and go 100% digital, or use the original and enhance it.

i agree, a good, finished B&W artwork is far worth a color pic. it's all about the composition and contrasts anyways.

You know I think it's pretty fine. It's a fairly simple cartoony style so it doesn't have to be very complex or 100% proper anatomy. I found three things that could be changed:

1) The left hand - http://medicalimages.allrefer.com/large/cellulitis-on-the-arm.jpg
Look at the arm and forearm. In your picture it's basically straight. No variation in diameter... Try to make the difference a bit stronger. Look for some pictures of arms and try to draw it using a reference

2) the part below the belly button is a bit too large... hips and legs... Slightly not much. I know it's a girl but still...

3) left eye (the right one looks better), try to fix that...

The rest looks very fine to me ^_^

Thanks for your input. I'll make some changes.
