Art critique and advice; beginner artists are welcome to post here; includes an oekaki. (NO FLAMES)

Artists, read before posting!

Before you post your art to ask for critique, please read these tutorials. They explain the basic principles of drawing and figure drawing. Most posts where these basics are missing will never get a response, as people are quite frankly sick and bored of explaining over and over that you would have to pretty much learn how to draw first, before you could improve.

This is a part of something I've been working on. I've been obsessing over this head for way too long and something still seems a little off and I don't know if its all in my head. Am I delusional, what do you guys think?

I'd offer much better critique if you hadn't so obviously traced it.

The head has no perspective, nor does the anatomy make sense, and yet the body is absolutely flawless in perspective and anatomy. Moreover, the body is heavily shadowed whereas the head has no shadows at all. Stop tracing bodies and sticking heads on them and trying to pass them off as your own work.

Any help with the face here?

Hello, folks!
So... I'm trying to make a fanart of a character from Magic: the gathering and, as you can probably see.... there is something wrong with this lion's face here, though I have absolutely no idea of what is the problem or how to fix it.
Any help?

No.1827 - Link Quick Reply Reply Report 1827

It's got a pretty uniform style that matches the rest of the drawing. Looks lionish- though it might just be a bit too small. If you disregard the mane, you can kind of see from his forehead and ears that his head isn't very big- I think the shoulders are actually a bit bigger than his skull. Maybe that's what you're seeing.

No.1923 - Link Quick Reply Reply Report 1923

The lower lip might be pushed too forward and the shading besides makes it look drawn too taut against the chin. It gives the impression he's doing a Skyler White, Yo face with his mouth where the rest of his face isn't matching that energy. As far as I can tell, Ajani's actual face is a stock-standard lion's which isn't really the pinnacle of expressiveness, so you might have to open the mouth to squeeze out an on-model smile.

The tits man. They don't look real. They look like two balloons cause of the height of the nipples. Nips are supposed to be lower, and the shape of the boob is supposed to have like a tear shape, big & round at the bottom, and getting more narrow at the top.

Hey guys.

the body is alright, seems like you used a reference--which is good. the head is a little off putting though, doesn't look "screwed on" right, so to speak. The penis also seems a bit stiff (no pun intended); it's facing the viewer while the rest of the body is angled slightly away, and the head is looking even further away

One thing that jumped out at me is that your lines vary in thickness depending on the detail. If there's more detail (like the feet) you use thin lines; if less (big curve of a belly) the lines are thick. Try challenging yourself in a couple of ways:

-Try using all uniform line thickness. This might make some areas look cluttered and other areas too sparse: how to solve that? Maybe find a way to imply details where you can't draw them all in. Maybe find a way to add details where it just looks too empty.

-Another challenge to try is using line-thickness to show light and shadow. Where the light hits the subject, using thinner lines makes it look brighter. Where there is shadow, thicker lines imply that.

Those are excellent suggestions. I think I can see what you're getting at. Thank you!

Critique on Composition

This is actually a sketch for an exhibition peice, rather than general furry art.

The theme is Fairy Tales so I wanted Puss in Boots and Big Bad Wolf as burlesque/drag queen performers ( Kinky Boots for Puss and Wolf dresses as a Granny in the stories).

Hows my perspective on the wolf? He's meant to be reaching out into the crowd, which will fill in the background.

No.1808 - Link Quick Reply Reply Report 1808

I think the perspective looks great! Very dynamic, it really looks like he's popping out of the plane. I'm not suuuure that the placement on the fox flows too well, though? What issa fox doing back there? Is he pole dancing or?
