I am in the process of making a bruce lee drawing and i need some crits early before i go too far. I know the face is a lil scrunched in and that his face is wider, i will post up more art as i progress. Let me know if there are any anatomy or depth problems. thanks guys ^_^ ....oh yeah the link would be nice http://www.adamcline.com/brucelee.jpg

HI there

Im dont really know a lot about anatomy but i think his torso is too short, his waist too thin and his legs too thick.

I like it a lot though
keep working

[noname1978]

Beef up the forearms. Bruce had Popeye forearms, in that they were almost bigger than his upper arms. Some veins might help as well

[Thanatos]

Bruce Lee did NOT have popeye forearms. None of his muscles were massive actually... All of his muscles were just extremely defined:



I suggest searching the net for more reference pictures to help you out with anatomy and how his face looks... Right now his face looks kinda squashed together.

Body looks exagerated but i can still equate it to bruce lee. Face needs a little work, but i'm not sure how. Make the feet a little smaller though i'd think.

Hey man I am a Bruce Lee fan and love martial arts glad someone drew bruce heh. Well what do I say, its not really bruce heh, its an interesting looking character, i'd say its a good anime style fighter! I'd rather keep this lol, i love anime as well hehe. To keep it more animesque you should like make his left shoe somewhat smaller it looks like a disney styled fat super size shoe heh. Ah well thats just my opinion

[Sharper-Image]

Thantos, if you'll notice what noname said, he said that Bruce Lee's forearms were almost larger than his upper-arms. Take a look at the pic you posted. Seems like he was quite right.

Bruce Lee did have massive forearms. If you watch any of his movies, this is increasinly obvious.

[Thanatos]

Oops, looks like I read what he said wrong... I didn't see the "almost" in there.

I still think that making his forearms more defined would make it look better... Although the forearms in the drawing are a bit too thin.

[vegeta�ONAC]

all good points indeed, let me get to everyone so i have equality heh...
xbytes: i think i made his waist a lil too small cuz of his stereotypical black pants being up over his belly button. I gotta mess with his legs a bit too, i made them too thick and long in my opinion.
noname: i have yet to add any details in his muscles, i think it will help out with bruce's unique forearms.
thanatos: (if yur a fan of Thanos I plan on drawing him too soon heh) I have searched the net as much as i could before i started this pic and i went to barnes and noble to see a overall view of his poses and stuff.
Blind tree frog: Ill fix up the feet too
Gigatron: I am a fan of anime too, maybe thats where my problems lay with the anatomy, oh well im still tryin to keep my own style to ^_^'
sharper image: at certain angles bruces forearms are much larger than his muscles especially lookin at them straight on
i plan on updating the pic real soon and ill post the newest drawing here

[vegeta�ONAC]

hey remember i said id post up the newer versions of the pic, i didnt lie! http://www.adamcline.com/brucelee2.jpg heres the newer one with as many changes i could fix up with all the help you guys have gave me. I still am having trouble with his head and face, mostly his face...let me know if theres still anything wrong with it and if anyone has some tips about his facial features please let me know! thanks everyone

[Thanatos]

*sigh* My name is not an improperly spelled Thanos, a Marvel character that eats planets. It's actually the lesser known Greek God of Death. Not to be confused with Hades, who is the Greek God of the Underworld. Thanatos I believe also translates into Death in Greek as well.

I'm not mad at you, everyone mispells my name/gets it confused with Thanos.

Or even worse they get it confused with the character on Secret of Mana. I've been using this name on the internet before I knew the character existed.

------------

Anyway back on topic... The updated version looks much better than before. Although his head still bothers me... I think you gave him too much hair or something. I'm not all too sure though.

Find yourself a tutorial on head drawing. Google and the search here at Sijun are your friends. Basically, you have too much head and not enough face. The eyes should be halfway between the top and the bottom of the head. Yours are much lower, which makes every other part of the face, including the ears, look much too small. That should get you started, but you should really look for an illustrated guide. Good luck.

I didn't want to give out the impression that I mispelled your name, I just didn't know if Thanos was the origin for your name. And Galactus eats planets hehe. Sorry to cause harm, I understand totally how names can be misinterpreted, everyone thinks I am a big fan of Sonic, which I do like him but thats not what my name is about :-p anyways thanks you guys for the input. It seems I am HEADED in the right direction...get it? headed? ....oh i suck lol, I hope to get a newer version by tonight so check back here...

[vegeta�ONAC]

well heres my most recent attempt at bruce lee...http://www.adamcline.com/brucelee3.jpg...i still dont feel confident in his facial features even with a bunch of photo references. If anyone can mold his face in words from what i currently have on how he should look, please do. I don't think ill be doing much more to this pic as far as details and overall appearance, so soon i will be inking and watercoloring it. Oh i also gotta think of a background and whatnot -.-'
