I knew this guy was ugly i just wanted some shading tips...wich 1 guy gave me.
(BTW: I hate it ebcause if drawing drawing cirique)
and uuhm....:
I'm 13 and when i go to drawing lessons of my age they suck really hard and don't teach me anything.(i live in Europe-Holland-Noord holland-Zaandam)
And it just feels weird to go rent an anotomy book 0.o.
and School doesn't teach anything about anotomy.
Well you don't need to devote your life on studying anatomy, just make sure that you have some knowledge of it
You're 13.. since you're very young, you can nail anatomy much faster than a 20 year old hag like me

This will teach you what you need to know. Look for the anatomy section; you'll see several muscle groups
Try to learn what they look like, where they connect to, and how they look when stretched/relaxed. The tutorial gives you impartial information on those, but they can be researched on other sites (hint: look up "muscle groups" on google)
The best way to learn the individual muscles is to draw your studies on paper
Don't push yourself too hard. since you're a beginner, try not to draw all the muscles at once! draw one muscle at a time and focus on it
draw the part of the skeleton where the muscle is, then draw the muscle on the skeleton. Then try to redraw the skeleton/muscle when the muscle is being stretched. When you're done, try drawing them in different angles (ex: a side view and a back view) until you get an idea on how they look at several points of view
If you're having trouble drawing a muscle in a certain way, find a reference. go look for that muscle on google images, and see how it would look in that troublesome situation.
For every 2 days, try to spend an hour devoted to studying one muscle (no need to rush)
Once you have a clue on how several muscles work, try to draw two to three muscles on the skeleton (as opposed to one) to challenge yourself a bit.
Keep doing this. Don't bother trying to draw a complete body for now. Drawing bodies is no fun

Nope sorry
Your refusal to sit down and learn the basics doesn't mean the classes are bad
EDIT:
Forgot to mention what i draw now doesn'tlook aything like that sprite.
I never said i refused to sit down and learn the basics 0.o
I'm starting to get annoyed by you guys
EDIT:
BTW: that doesn't have anything to do with art classes 0.o
And what i hate too is that when you go to an art class,you also paint.. but i HATE painting!
EDIT: didn't see the guy'spost above him
Thank you for the information!
and i typed anatomy wrong.. i always do that for some reason.

So..
You actually LIKE the concept of pigeonholing yourself into one type of art? That's an extremely bad thing to do; especially for someone as young as you.
ps I'd like to take a guess and say that the reason you're getting annoyed by "us" is because you're being so stubborn and refusing to do some work on your own. Independent research and 'studying' is just as important to art as your ability to actually make said art. If you're not willing to try something on your own after you've been given suggestions and advice because you're too busy whining and complaining at people for not spoonfeeding you tips, tricks, and information, then get out of here. No one wants to deal with that.
How can you shade properly...
If your sprite has no bones to begin with...
I'm giving this thread some more time before I lock.
If you continue to refuse our C+C, then you have no reason to be here.
I don't want to sound mean, but c'mon. This isn't a place to showcase shit and get praised for it, but rather a place to get comments on how to improve.
you know what, fuck this shit. you've been given plenty resources and advice to study. if you feel like posting something and get critique and show us that you've learned something, do it.
for now, don't come back unless you already know how to draw properly.
