Hi people. just posting a pic which im doing at college, its not fully finished but a good way through, plus i didnt know where else to put this,lol. Any input would be cool. p.s i must apologise for the image size.



I first drew the pic in pencil then put it onto a comp and coloured it in using photoshop. I have a few more pics,this is just my best one i feel so far,

Edit: made it smaller for people. hopefully not too small,lol.:

It's a nice pict, but can you resize it...it should be fairly straightforward using paint or photoshop.

I ask for two reasons:

-difficult to appreciate the whole picture
- it is generally large

A second one im working on.

the eyes, nose and mouth on the first one feel out of place - and the general shape of the head seems...alien? it doesnt look quite human. also its not clear what he's holding, probably because of the unfinished coloring(and i dont know who he is/where hes from).

The second one is better color-wise, though still unfinished it shows quite abit - however, as with the first one i can't tell what he's doing/holding.

It also may do good if you practice a little on the hair - i can tell it's pretty much suppose to be hard hair(dbz-ish?), but the lines don't seem to flow the way they would with real hair(even spikey hair, as my nephew has it[its shocking how well he can pull off the goku look lol]).

Also, practice coloring abit more - it doesnt take much to learn how to color a basic pencil drawing into an anime picture, just practice mostly - i have a great tutorial that shows how exactly to take a pencil drawing and turn in into an anime picture, i found it while looking for mangaka resources and it's quite good - (click herefor it) - even made some of my crappy drawings look half way decent. and trust me, thats saying alot. lol

All-in-all though their pretty good. i've seen alot worse, some from professional artists! lol

though really, don't let my critizism slow you down - just improve and give me less to criticize. that way we'll both be happy - you the skilled artist, and me the critical perfectionist.

I know its been ages since i put these up,lol but looking through my old posts i seem to have noticed this, so i might as well reply...

1. the first pic is as some final fantatics must know, is cloud strife.
2. the colouring was done in photoshop not pencil drawing, and the top 1 was my first attempt at it, first i drew the outline in pencil, then photocopied it onto photoshop to colour in.

being the FF fan i am(not very fan-like) i knew both of them were cloud >_>

yeh i figured as much too

looked like cloud... ive only played a little of FFX and watched FFIV advent children... and of course the 'guest appearance' in Kingdom Hearts.
