And how do you want your pieces judged? I'd rather not look like a judgmental ass to everyone when in reality I'm just doing what you asked for. PM, E-Mail, so on so forth?

I'd also prefer to not outright put critique on the pieces on FA in case this is someone else asking people to do this as a troll LoL.

Well, about the pic you attached here :
There's unquestionable improvement from 2006, but you already know that.
What throws me off in the 2012 pic is the shading. I think it's too soft, and too uniform. Judging from my own experiences I sometimes tend to treat every anatomical or structural part on its own when shading, disregarding the whole, and that gives the image a uniform flat look.
I'd suggest you try with the simplest brush available, usually a hard circular one, and first work in black and white over the whole pic, dealing with the largest forms or simplifications of forms. When you have your values looking ok as a whole for the larger forms, you can elaborate on the smaller ones. Avoid softer brushes or blurring tools, they can be very very distracting, and the final result should be better without them anyway. They're good shortcuts sometimes, but can mask flaws you would otherwise have corrected.
If you struggle with something, it's almost never because the basic brush is inappropriate, and much more common there's something you don't understand completely about that pic, be it anatomy, lighting or something else. Do sketches for that part until you're completely sure what it is, and what it looks like, and then try again, with the (reasonably) simplest tools available.

Hi
Thanks for the feedback! Haha, why would I have been scared away so soon? I've been around for a long time here but just not done this kind of art before, so I know how... some people.. in the fandom can be.

I'm not afraid of critizism though, I'm looking forward to hearing more. I'll make more art soon, but in the meantime I guess I can upload some of my older stuff here too.

-

so the red lines belong to the initial sketch and the blue lines are the cleaner render.
hope this is some help

That helped a ton. Thanks, I'll think about all of that for my next work. I like to try different poses and angles, even if it can be difficult sometimes.

-

Sketch from my latest project I'm working on. As usual, I'm trying a different pose and angle, the hardest things were the hands as I've decided not to cheat with hands anymore, and the head. Now my problem is her chest area, I want to give it a feel like she's leaning towards the viewer a bit

-

Well, anyway, this is how the pic ended up. I think it's okay, but not much better than that. I have to study alot more anatomy to get better.

-

It seems you made no effort to improve or even practice since last time. It's still ugly as hell and trying to point out everywhere that needs improvement is a waste of our time.

-

>>1589

Well... that was harsh... harsh but honest. Well I did wanted to know your thoughts. So I guess I've gotten them. Not the type of response I was expecting, but that's okay. I already know it's gonna help me strive to get better anyway. Just to prove you that I can improve and get better! Sorry for wasting your time and for you wasting mine.

-

I'll try to be as constructive as possible... I've certainly seen worse, far far far worse...

The head, IMO, is the best part and shouldn't need too much change, although I'd question the use of facial hair & the red stuff (blushing?) as it doesn't really make a lot of sense on a furry. Although if you must make a beard, you can make it an extension of his chin and cheek fur as shown in red. Also, either his head needs to be bigger to match his body.

I messed around a little w/ your pic to show you some of the things I'd have done. Mainly because I'm a bit drunk at the moment, as I usually don't do this, but people like >>1589 piss me off.

Pretty much covered what needed to be changed up. But what I would suggest is grab s'more reference shots and just try to draw the form of the human body. Break everything down into basic shapes and work off your rough. There's a reason why in art 24/101 you draw a LOT of primitive shapes ;)

Another tip I'd have for you is to observe other peoples works. Find some art streams to get an idea for process, or even just take a look at some regular pics/tutorials. Heck, hit up the tutorials up top, they'll help believe me!

I'd also suggest the following websites to further aid yourself in learning how to draw.

http://www.ctrlpaint.com/
A website which its primary focus is digital painting. If you hit up the CtrlPaint - Unplugged section, you'll learn the goodies that most Art 24/101 student will learn in college. I HIGHLY recommend this if you want to get your basics down, it contains the fundamentals you'll need.

Thank you! I seriously thank both of you guys for helping me out and giving me some great tips! Oh and some good websites to look after! Now all I got to do is just practice... a whole lot!

Anyway, thanks again!

I'm noobish in the ways of the draw so take my words with a grain of salt. While it is that the factors that you've listed won't break yer pic, my hunch is telling me what betrays your sense of being finished is... that your subject isn't fully drawn!

The subject is all we, the viewers, see in this picture. We have no background, no supporting characters, only the subject and three props. We need more info to further define as to why the subject is posing as such and his relation to his light sources. I suggest adding in the rest of the character! Complete his body and give in a soap box or sexy servant! Edit the more obvious shading/highlights to eliminate the confliction of where the light source is emanating from (Unless he's close to something which is reflecting the light?)

I wish I could help you further when it comes to light sources and suggestions, but I'm still noobish in the world of drawing. If anything, I'd highly suggest just taking notes of the flaws that you're aware of and just move onto the next image.

TLDR Version:
Finish up the rest of the subject (Legs, hand, tail, soapbox) and edit only the obvious highlights which conflict where the light is emanating from. Define as much as you can for the viewer, it'll help translate the image better. Don't toil on this image too long, move onto the next pic!

As opposed to what? Disgusting non-realistic?

-

all of you brothers are making contributions to a thread begun by an individual who's desires are to start emotional distress.

>>1498

Obviously normal, humanoid penises. Looking at dog dicks is too close to bestiality for some peoples' liking.

-

You people are all stupid as hell, that's all I have to say. This is a fucking furry art board, deal with dog dick, or stop being a furry.

-

BEST.
PIKCHER.
EVER.

-

First time drawing furry? This isn't bad at all!

And this is coming form another artist.

-

It's Banjo... It's a bear.

Please read over the tutorials at the top of the page, practice - a lot - more, and come back in a few years.

Simple.

>>1582

A few years?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

...

Okay! ^^

Wait a minute...

You are drawing with one hand but where is the other?

Fill pages of drawings based off your observations of your own hand and the hands of others.

There is no shortcut, and since hands are something we tend to focus on, you will have to practice.
