The VG Resource

Well, I have improved somewhat in drawing, and sketching art. Though I'm still I only use pencils and pens. I rarely use colors in my pictures still I try to improve a little bit more each day. Also had to work on a portfolio for AP Studio which lets me exempt the first Art Class I would take in college (Meaning I would skip on to the advanced methods.)

These are some of the works I have done in the past 2 years.

Not much right now due to the fact my scanner busted a fuse!

the first one has horrible proportions and the second one seems to be just a bunch of eye-traced famous characters
also maybe you should link those in text form or scale them down if you're going to post them as images

Uhhh, learn some anatomy to make it so that way you can learn how to better proportion the body. The face also looks really flat and like her eyes are just pasted onto her head, they are also not alined correctly.

I'll try to fix that, when I start on the other one!

my main problem is seem to remain too much on lines. Try to make them a part of your shading, instead of drawing the lines, because it makes it seem flat.

I need Zeemort to explain this better, because I can't really explain this :I

You cannot call this a portfolio just yet. Better develop your art styles than just two simple character collage drawings.

a comic book artist once dissected a girl's anime picture who was sitting right next to me yet told me my simplistic drawing was awesome save for texture wrinkles


anyway what he told this girl should apply well to you - and wow, i have to say your drawing reminds me of this girl's art I used to know. but, she suffered the problem much worse than you did - your hands, face etc. looks pretty decent.

it looks like you said "hey i'll draw this cute anime face in my sketchbook
this looks good maybe i'll draw the body and hands

this is kinda sexy let me put some feet on it and call it done"

it looks like parts of her body were afterthought after afterthought. luckily for you, this is easy to fix
Draw the whole body out next time very lightly where you plan the head, body, arms and legs should go and then just draw like you typically would. It's easier to better proportion out your work that way.

Also gonna wait for Zeemort on this one but the top image seems to be lacking emotion whatsoever, which is a big letdown given the character's trying to go out of her way to be sexy
