now i use frames, guide lines and just over all time to make things look "right" instead of insant drawing things into deformedness like in the past.

should just get back to what you did. If some one I didn't know, showed me that pic, and said "I Just finished this, what do ya think?" I would say it shows alot of promiss. more work and it would be great.

I've tryed to chage my methods, and end up messing it all up. I don't use anything to help me draw, I just draw. (Probly some of my problem) But I don't really think about prework, liek setting up a bunch of polly gons to figure stuff out. I draw a stick figure in a pose, make minor details so to know what to work off, then draw

Myself, I use a basic stick figure for posing, the back line for action, then use basic polygons (really reall fast drawn) for proportions, stick up guidelines so I don't go right through the sheet darkening em as I go with mistakes and erasing. After that, it's more and more detail 'till I can't find anythign else to detail. I often use a ruler or one of those triangle thingies to make straighter lines (like for swords or interior scenery). sweatdrop

And that's if I don't use tracing paper to make additional guides o_0;;

I'm not looking at the detailed error lsit, I'm looking at the character, design and pose in general. For something you did that fast, a mistake isn't worth noticing. wink

Not bad, needs better shading *giggles* I can't do 30 secound art, 30 secounds would be a fingure to me. ANythign I do in that time owuld look liek crap. ^^

If ya liek aquicky critique... I would add more detail to the clothing, wrinkels to make it mroe realistic, and I think the body is too norrow. Peopel have curves. and I think that would give alot more to your pictur there. I think the proportions are good, and other then the chin looks too pointy, I think it's fine.

hope that wasn't out of place, but wanted to give ya a view on it

it's a simple pose, hand in lala land and other in pocket. Pockets are always good for people who are lazy to draw hands razz ! The pose to me lacks movement it's just standing there like a tree. and that is one of my lacking points, movment alot of my art work lacks moment in its pose most either just stand there or sit. I wish I could draw dynamic things like you do in your art. even holding a spork gives the image life. The way I place hands or arms otfen lacks the moment. o_o

as i stated below I am well aware of it's flaws. Flods movement and just life aludes me with much of my art. But hey that was drawn in 30 seconds =p

...no matter, you did it in 30-some seconds. I can't even make a head in 30 seconds. Even the hands take me more than a minute each whee  

[Skuger Moonclaw]

You know my crappy art comic on my site? one of thoughs takes me hours to draw, let along colour. >< and I use the lazyes style I have on it  

[Vir-San]

one thing that does drive me insane is clothes and folds. >_< no matter what I draw it's rare to have any other differnt clothes theme ;.;
so doomie how do you do it? I mean really how the hack do you draw all those differnt clothes?
