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.

Source: When things look too flat or I how I just can't ever be happy with my drawings.

Obviously posting up here on the /crit/ alone says what I want.

I never feel happy with any of my drawings, and no matter how much anatomy, tutorials, or different styles I do, I always feel like I'm messing up. I know I am.

BUT!

I can never place what. ... so that's why I need /crit/'s help. Be the eyes I don't have (and mind of understanding drawings...blah).

I know they are sketchy and lines are everywhere... bit of an issue I have. Either I don't complete them, or it's really just my lousy inability.

          Good start for not having any art experience. The one thing you should try doing first is trying this in pencil and moving to a solid contour line. Right now it looks like a lot of smaller straight lines to build up your curved lines like in your shoulders.
          Something else you can look at is your proportions. Your arm that is in front of you is sitting on the line of foreshortening or disproportional try to get it lined out. One thing you can do is get a digital camera and sketch out your own arm in that pose until you have it down then draw it onto another figure. If we compare both the arms they wouldn't match up so also watch the arm that trails behind you, and try to bring them to a happy medium.
          Blotch used to have an excellent tutorial on the importance of gesture sketching. Whats great about it is that your art doesn't have to be 100% refined to practice it since your simply going for mass and proportion. Again good try and keep it up

No.
That tutorial itself has absolutely nothing on gestures, and is quite possibly one of the worst 'highly acclaimed' tutorials I have ever seen.

We got this commission from Anthrocon via third party since we could not attend. We gave him all the details he needed and wrote it down for him. Normally I'm not picky about things like this but when you shell out 40 dollars I would expect a much higher quality than this.

I would like to know who the artist is if anyone recognizes her art style. All my friend remembered was the name Tris(s)?

First pic of several. Posting furry, clean and not. Landscapes.. well you can't have anything erotic there lol. And just about anything that I'd like critique on. Varying levels of time and effort placed on these - nothing was intentionally half-assed (except for some sketches where I just want advice on proportions and stuff).

Anyways, first pic. I've mostly got good comments on this. Let's see what y'all have to say.

It isn't.

Lots of detail in there. That's the good i can say about it.

The bad: Utterly terrible lighting. For me this breaks the whole image. I cannot get any sense of real perspective from this. Especially bad are the spikes at the ceiling which are lighted from left and right, while the ones no the floor are only lighted from the right.

Then there's also a problem with the water: The "detail lines" are just random white lines for one, with no real intent behind them. For the other, the ones in the distance are of the same thickness and fidelity as the ones in front, again destroying any possible sense of perspective.

Unfortunately I have to agree with rude yet true comments that were made by people above. First question is "Did you create these models yourself?" if yes then we can go into more "what is good and what is wrong" thing... If not then I guess here the discussion ends. Sorry but using premade rigged models in any 3D program is just too easy. Ok it could be animated... animating requires skills too, but it's static. I suggest you should learn modelling first (assuming these are not your models).

I regret that there are people with so little courtesy, but I can not change the world, if it is true that models are prefabricated to the poser, the program allows me to mold clay as one mode, but not altering its structure.

if art is to create something from nothing, then I have to agree with you and say that my work is useless.

But I think that art is not only that, but also give a sense art aesthetic, and exotic to the figure, the way try this is using poser doll, and in the same way a puppeteer does conveys an emotion .

Written by criticism here is obviously not get it, but not stop trying to not only ask you that before you criticize, think a bit what they are saying,

if the problem is critical because the doll named penelope is hermaphroditic, can rest assured that it will put more here, (instead placed the girl mouse who is female), my intension was not to offend his tastes

Hey guys, it's my first time posting here, so forgive me if I come off as a derp.
Anyway, I haven't been a furry for very long, but I'm very interested in it, and this is the first furry drawing I've ever done, a striped hyena.
I could use some critiques so I can do better next time and hopefully improve.
Like I said, I'm new to drawing furries, so I can really use all the help I can get.

Oh lordy, this is almost fappable. almost.
This is what I see. Despite previous commentators, I can't see anything wrong with the hand. I do however agree about the chin. The way that I see it, the head is almost at a 90 degree angle away from the viewer, so I would treat it as such. For the chin, I would round it out to coincide with 'her' curvy appeal.
-Light and Shadow_
Based on most of the lighting that I see in the torso, the light source looks like a flat one or cathode-ray tube(argon). So given that angle and flat look....The blue to the right is a correction of the shade over the right arm to the hip. Figure that any shapes that occur past the shoulder line are shaded, this includes the left foot. The arse, however, does not need shading, again based on the {back, neck, head} lighting. So then I bastardized it and whited the arse and areas that I think need lightening instead. White...heh.heh-heh.
So, I hope that helps. Just what I saw.
