Art Keyblade's Drawings <3

[Riku]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Well, since I've seen a lot of threads posting everyone's artwork, I thought that I should post up some of mine too. I've been told that I was a really good drawer, I guess... so I just wanted to see what you guys here at the OB would think of my work. I'll keep posting new pictures up daily so that you guys can rate some of my work and tell me what I need to do with them. My pics will be some old ones and some new ones; some black and white and some colored. So, withou further ado... here's the beginning of my art thread: Keyblade's <3Work!! Yes, lame I know....

Anyways, to start things off, here's a Sasuke pic of mine that I really love. Please rate my stuff!!! X3

That's a really awesome picture, you have to think Sasuke is cool right? I've been trying to learn how to draw for a little while now but I'm nowhere near that level sadly. I can't really critisize them becuase I'm a beginner sorry. I can't wait to see some more of your pictures though!

[size=1]You don't need to be an expert to critique a drawing, Flame_Alchemist. If you're confused as to how to critique a piece of art, [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=32738][b]click here[/b][/url]. But if you just feel you have no room to criticize someone else's work because you aren't as good -- don't let that stop you.

I, for one, like the drawing as a whole, but there's slight imperfections here and there. While you pretty much nailed the shape of Sasuke's hair, you might want to try to blend in the shading more. As it stands, it's a bit blocky so to speak, but you can fix that by smearing the graphite with your finger to give it a more blended effect.

Keep up the good work![/size]

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Impressive.

I think you're better than me at drawing...Question: Were you looking at a picture while drawing this? If not, then you're MUCH better than I. ;) [/FONT][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]That lineart is pretty good, but there are a couple of things I'd like to suggest (Don't think I'm pulling you down or anything, consider this one artist to another)

[U][B]The shading-[/B][/U]
It's the hair that draws my eye, mainly, in the way that you have extremely uneven strokes, which overlap and leave some areas darker than others. This leaves the picture looking unprofessional an even rushed, despite the fact you may have spent quite a while doing it. I suggest you make longer strokes that reach point to point and, if you can, use bendable pencils rather than just a sketch pencil. Even better would be a marker pen or Copic Marker.

The same applies to the shirt for shading; the strokes just look too rushed. I think, given you only done this with one pencil, you should have left the shirt without any colour. (I know Sasuke?s shirt is dark, but?eh)

Apart from that, I'm impressed. I let my art thread die, but I think it's time to bring it back now that they're the fashion, heh.

(Kudos on the hand, by the way.)[/SIZE]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Heh heh... thanks for the postive crtiques, everyone. I've been drawing ever since I can remember, so I've gotten good at it. Thanks for the compliment, too, Ezekiel... I worked so hard on that hand, I'm really proud of it. X3 Anyways, here's more work coming your way!! XD

[U][B]Grinning Ed[/B][/U]
[IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Anime1.png[/IMG]


This one took me at least three days; drawing and coloring and such. Unlike the Sasuke one, I did this all in my head. Yesh, people's... I'm serious. Anyways, I just thought about a particular scene that Ed was in and then I made it all my own. So yeah... A lot of my friends really like this one.

[U][B]High School Couple[/B][/U]
[IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Anime2.png[/IMG]


I really don't know why I did this picture, but I wanted to just draw two of my characters from my head and make them wear my own school uniform that I made up. I dunno, but I really like drawing elves... I guess I have an obsession drawing elf ears and all. Thanks a lot, Legolas.... *drool* :;

[B][U]The One they Left Behind...[/U][/B]
[IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Anime3copy.png[/IMG]


Well, I was thinking about Kingdom Hearts (which I always do) and I guess I wanted to draw a picture of me on the Destiny Islands. So, I just drew it in my head and I started drawing. I thought about the game and such and just let my emotions take over my hand. Needless to say, it is a pretty good pic, although it LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ME. XD I also need to work on backgrounds, too. n.n;

[U][B]White Haru[/B][/U]
[IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/CloudsOnly189/Anime4.png[/IMG]


Well, I drew this picture awhile ago. It was when I just finished reading an old volume of Fruits Baskets when I got this sudden urge to draw Haru. I was singing my own "Haru" song I made up. I was fun, although I REALLY messed up with his hand. It looks so small... ; . ;



Well, anyways, I hope that I drew these good and that you guys like it. Thanks for the critiques and I hope I get more good ones on the way. n.n Oh, and by the way, Tatsubei.. I actually did look at a Sasuke picture while drawing that, but only once and then I remembered everything. So yeah..... XD

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]Seeing as I'm trying to get into the Art Studio more, and because every artist deserves critique, I'll reply to this again.

I'm not going to comment on all the pictures, if you don't mind, because a couple of them are pretty good and only practice could improve them. However, there's something I need to point out about the [B]high school couple[/B].

Creases in clothes, as I'm sure you know, make all the difference in making a picture look more professional and realistic. The way you've done wrinkles and folds at least shows you know what you should be doing; you just need to know where to put the actual wrinkles. I tried to find one of my pencil sketches as an example, but couldn't, so I?ll try to explain.

Wrinkles fall the way they do because of gravity and the type of cloth you're trying to portray. They would fall in long lines from the shoulder; for example, because that's the direction the T-Shirt would fall. In school jumpers, like you've drawn, there wouldn't be many creases on the torso because of the material, but around the wrists and elbows, there would be creases. With pants, as they fall straight, there aren't any creases on the main part of the leg, but lots of folds once the pants hit shoes. I hope that's clear and gives you an idea of what I'm getting at. x_x

There's also a little thing about Haru, and that's that his crotch is too high. I used to have that problem, until my mum pointed out that guys needed more, er...room. >_>

Apart from that, very good once again. *clap*

If you don't want me to go into so much boring detail, just let me know, I think I feel I should point things out to manga artists because no one ever told me what I was doing wrong. I know I can get carried away, so...yeah. Sorry. x___x[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Flame_Alchemist]

Wow awesome pictures! I especially like the Ed one, probably cause I?m a Fullmetal Alchemist fan. It just seems really well done from the color to the cheeky grin, everything is there. It?s even better in the way that you just made that up, great job!

The only thing I could point out has already been pointed out and that?s the clothes. I have a big problem drawing creases, I find it tough to get the proper shading done. I still think it?s really good but maybe that?s the area you could try and improve in. I hope you?ll post more pictures soon!

Hello.... :animeknow

I just want to critize a bit about your [B]Grinning Ed[/B] pic.

There's something bothering me when I saw that pic, it looks great but there's something did not matched.....I realize it was Ed's neck which is bothering me.

Don't you think his neck's out of ordinary guy's neck length? It's too long...(I'm not sure how to say this, but I hope you understand), my suggestion is that you erase a bit of his neck and redraw it again in a fitting length. Without changing the size of his head, try to make his chin at the same height as the top of his conscripts or maybe lower....just experience it until you find the suitable height... :D I think it would be great. ;)

I'm not that good with drawing myself, but...I'd do my best to help other people... :D

[KKC]

[size=1]Wow, these are some pretty good stuff and I admire your ability to draw hands/fingers (I'm terrible at it!).

The Sasuke picture is great and I think it would look even better if it was colored.

To go along with the Ed pic, the neck is a bit long, but I don't think it's the length of the neck that's a problem, but the position of the neck. In real life, your neck comes out just inside of your jaw bones, but in anime they make the neck thinner. The right side of Ed's neck (our right) comes down from the back of the skull, which is correct. Though, it looks like it connects right into the shoulder instead of being connected to the collar bone. On the left side (our left) you connected it to the collar bone well. The iffy part about the left side is where it comes out of the head. Like I said earlier, natural necks come from your jaw bone. On the left side the neck is too far away from the jaw bone. Because of this, Ed's body isn't aligned with his head properly (well, that's what it looks like to me). Considering you drew this with no reference, I think it's awesome! Drawing a picture strait from your mind is very difficult and I'm not very good at it.

The High school couple is nice too, but her arm that links with the boy's has no depth to it and look like paper. Also, the upper part of her torso looks to large, but she may just have a broad back.

You have potential as an artist, so keep it up! w00t!
