Now I see why Donald Duck has no pants; drawing pants on animal legs just ends up looking strange and out of place...

Well there shouldn't be much reason for you to use size 4 in the first place
you should draw big


very big

Except with Photoshop's interface, too large of images are incredibly hard to work with on a 1600 x 900 monitor especially when I have to keep reference images on the side.
Plus what I'm working on now (Halloween gift) is already going to be a lot of work, it doesn't need to be any bigger than 700 x 700. I've also already got it all sketched out so I'm not re-doing it. I'm still just a newb at drawing so I can't be overloading myself at first.
I've seen artwork with really thin outlines (like what Inkscape makes), but nevermind, I'll just stick with 4 and 5. It's not going to be overly detailed anyway, just some sharper/thinner edges in some areas would be nice is all.

Well the "perspective" i tried to get working on the arm doesn't work at all...

also her back twists like fuck and the hand are bad



but i still think it looks nice

That Pokemon seriously needs to consider getting a belt.

Nice work, by the way.

Smithy, you should draw more TSRians. Your drawings a freaken awesome.

some protoss head practice:
male
female

and Halo: Ghosts of Onyx SPI armor:

note to self: draw arms and hands larger when they are closer to the camera

Alex those heads are wonderful I love them

I dunno, something about them is really cool

I give up on character design

Don't give up, that character is adorable

I love the retro phone communicator

Well i'm learning how to use photoshop, so i tried coloring this thing that my teacher drew (see previous page for context)

So I started to draw some characters today, and I didn't take pictures of them and wanted to show a friend, so I drew very rudimentary versions quickly in Paint with my laptop's touchpad mouse thing. Also did stuff with halftones again because I find them intriguing still.

I'll take a picture of the actual ones tomorrow. Too lazy to find my camera tonight (and yet not lazy enough to not completely redraw them, only worse, apparently).

How do you make anything that good with a touchpad.
When I try it comes out as a nonsensical scribble.
In fact I should post a touchpad doodle attempt sometime, I could see that becoming a popular subject.

trying to draw interesting dynamic poses, cause that seems to be my biggest issue at the moment

this really doesn't feel natural...
