Art First Time Sharing My Artwork

[Redemption]

[COLOR=Blue][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Well this is the first time I've shared my artwork online with everyone. :animeblus

I'd like your comments on the two.

The first is of Spike from Cowboy Bebop. I used pen.

The second is Tsukasa from .hack//Sign. I used acrylic paint.

Hope you enjoy. And don't be too mean :p [/COLOR][/FONT]

[SIZE=1]Well, I don't draw but...

[b]Spike Drinking[/b] I thought was overall pretty good. His eyes/face are somewhat distorted, along with his funky right elbow, but I love the shading and the shirt's wrinkles. I'd give his tie more definition, perhaps a subtle pattern or something. And the cup's proportions are somewhat skewed.

[b]Tsukasa[/b]'s eyes are too small, or his face is too wide. I think narrowing up the face would make this better, along with making the hair fit proportionately with the scalp. I like this, but Spike is better. Good job.[/SIZE]

[COLOR=Blue][FONT=Trebuchet MS]In the actual original picture of Tsukasa, his face was much wider than the one I drew.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[CENTER][COLOR=Purple][SIZE=1][FONT=Microsoft Sans Serif]Yeah, Tsukaksa's eyes are just pretty big, so making them smaller makes the picture lack definition... And contain too much empty space. Also, his mouth is a hint too high on his face, and his nose a hint too small, even for anime. If you shrink the eyes, you have too compensate, and his features aren't doing so. Maybe just move his eyas a bit to the right? (Well, Tsukasa's left, but right from looking at the picture.)

As for Spike, I love the definition in the clothing, but it gets kind of twitchy when you got to his right arm... You may have put TOO MANY wrinkle-lines, and NOT ENOUGH space where the cloth just falls. Try looking at people wearing similar things to get a more realistic feel. This is one of the only times I've seen that too much detail was a bad thing.

Overall great work.

Spike Drinking: 8/10

Tsukasa Gazing: 6.5/10

Don't take me too seriously, though ^^
