Wow, some deep answers here. (or maybe I'm just slow Rolling Eyes

)

At the moment I don't really have access to a teacher, but I'm definetly thinking about plunking down some cash for an anatomy book. ...

What do you think is more important?

Trial and Error: Just plain drawing tons of sketchs whenever possible and picking out what is wrong, fixing it, drawing some more.

Studying: Reading up on ...

*newbie warning: take advice at your own risk*

After just plaing copying/tracing for awhile to get a feel for someone else's style, try getting down relative measurements. For example, try to fig ...

I just posted the link because it might be interesting for you.
It was not meant to be a "use the search" post or something like that ...
I knew, but I still felt "n00bish" in posting something that ...

Sorry for the repost, I didn't see that other post.

Matthew: I'm still at the painting. I did some looking up on anatomy, it kinda got boring after awhile. I still try to go back to it now and ...

When you are drawing, do you have a music type of choice? Or does it vary with what you are painting? Or does it determine what you paint? O_o

For me, I draw inspiration sometimes when I hear a ...

Back when I first started drawing, I started with cartoons and comic book images. I traced at first, then started trying to copy my Marvel trading cards, then started work on freehand drawing. Now I ...

Zex, don't mind Cow, he's like that to all of us hapless newcomers. Wink

The advice you want is going to really be based on how far you want to take your art. Obviously if you don't want to do it ...

I have a feeling the veterans around here are going to give you a bit of flak...

Anyway, I'm new around here too and I'm not posting any new stuff until I improve substantially (or have some decent ...

I just tried the link (all of them actually) and none seem to work for me. Might be a problem on my end, but is anyone else having problems with the links?

I think it looks great as well, but I think it would be cooler if you had something next to it to a greater sense of scale. Maybe some specks of people on the ground or little ships entering the carr ...

For those who misunderstood the thing about the hand... It's Spideys Right hand we're talking about, the fisted one. Not the one that's gonna shoot some web. :p
My mistake. Crying or Very sad

To comment on the picture itself, I think the lines going along the top of his head should bend inwards more to reflect the roundness of his head.

The hand that has the pointer and the pinky outstretched is a classic Spidey pose when he's shooting web. I'm not sure if thats what you guys were criticizing, but I figured I'd put my nerdy backgrou ...

Simply stunning. Shocked

I can't help it, I really like Chthonic Divinity's work. Just speaks to me. I think its a heck of alot better than that stuff that people claimed you were copying.

As far as posting this art - My thought process is, If your not going to take the time to learn art in a way that makes sense and insist on making it almost impossible to truely be a good artist then ...

I don't mean to prolong this thread and I wasn't planning on posting again until I had something a bit more worth showing (or had more questions) but I noticed you guys said that tutorials are basical ...

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I've been touring a couple colleges in upstate NY.

Yeah, I know I really should be more sure of where I want armor and what kind as well. I've been kind of unsure an ...

Yes yes! If you could post a step by step of this or some of your other SF work, that would be amazing!

Very cool, very cool indeed. I really like the colors. Smile

*jaw drops*

Shocked

Freaking beautiful!

*saves to computer*

Well, this is what I have so far.

The shoulders still looks really weird and I'm thinking about scrapping that form of armor for something I can do wi ...

Yeah, I've been reading some of the stuff in polycarbon for awhile now and it helps. I just can't seem to grasp some of the more technical stuff on fineart. I'll try to put something together to giv ...

I've been toying with this pic for awhile and I'm curious how best to use the overpaint that Matthew did. I like the slight changes he made to the pose, but I don't know how to go about making the ch ...

Oh yeah, and something looks very wrong with the perspective on the railing she is leaning on.

I can't put my finger on what is wrong with the face, some of the non-newbie artists here can probably say something on that. Other than that I think she looks kinda top heavy in that picture. Not e ...

Cool guys, thanks! Big thanks to Matthew for the overpaint, very stylish. Smile

I'm still tweaking this guy back and forth trying to figure out where I want to go with him so hopefully I'll have som ...

Very cool stuff, very cool indeed. Thanks Matthew for that WIP. I've been having problems getting anything onto the screen that looks decent so watching the progress of these projects helps alot.

I think my webspace is down right now, I apologize.
