this 2 are few sites that i found. first one is the best source though cuz u can also see different artist and their own way of drawing.

i have explained in page 7 about how i draw, but most important thing is practice.

before high school i used to doodle on my notebook

after that i always had sketchbook with me, doodling when im bored.

i still have problem drawing hands and feet but its getting better

also mistical miss is right.

i never used my own body as model, i mean why wold i want to use skinny guy like me as model? (not to mention i rather draw girl)

i use porns.. ahem i meant adult site.

nothing hardcore.

more of softcore where women is posing such as sports illustrated swimsuit photo.

usually most pictures taken by pros are better in lightning so its easier to draw
and drawing them in different poses is best way to learn about proportions and what mistical miss said as 'frozen solid'

i call it 'flow', and its best way to make picture look natural as is.

such as how hair 'flows' around wind how cloth 'flows' while moving and how body 'flows' while dancing. things like that.

oh and as for proportions, its always different for every human, so there is no set proportion.

but what mistical miss said is general idea how human should be drawn.

oh and by all means post ur pictures. i dun mind looking at other pictures and commenting them

Me neither

if you aren't afraid of critique that is... perhaps when I have time I can post critical comments on your works Eggy.. (only if I have a lot of time, as u made a lot of works.. and if you would like some building critique)

Looks good to me, great use of perspective.

Was the missing toe intentional?

Whoo! · Jan 23, 2007, 02:58 AM // 02:58

Awesome, thank you so much! the toe thing makes me feel kinda like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle :3

egnki · Jan 23, 2007, 03:13 AM // 03:13

I'm very sorry i haven't been able to get you your money yet, even though i have been playing a lot lately. You are supposed to be messaging me, right? because i didn't see that you left your ign.

Whoo! · Jan 23, 2007, 03:32 AM // 03:32

Really good work on that one, especially the pose! His right hand is somewhat small though (though its hard to see with this pose so it doesn't spoil the picture at all).. good work on the foot :P

Moa Bird Cultist · Jan 23, 2007, 05:26 PM // 17:26

Heheh. Maybe you should change the original title of the thread so that people will see your not taking on any more work atm? It would save everyone concerned a little trouble, if you ask me. Anyway, 20-something characters to go then it's my turn

On the note about posing your drawings, that is one thing I'm not good with. Since I don't really get time to practice drawing at all, that and proportion both suffer greatly at my hands. I've been looking around online for some action poses to practice on too, but I've had no luck. Maybe I should look at some manga for inspiration, since you tend to find a lot of striking poses used within that genre. Still, when I actually get some time and space to myself, I shall try and pick up again. (I honestly find that the hardest thing about drawing is the first pencil-stroke.)

Well, enough of my random complaining about my utter lack of talent

- I like the poses on your last two, even down to the initial four toes on Whoo!'s monk - I think it gives the image character, even if it is an obvious error.

So, Who's after Whoo! ?

Mistical miss · Jan 23, 2007, 06:00 PM // 18:00

Moa bird, if you have trouble doing proportions, try these:

- If you draw hands next to the body or at same distance as the body, just hold the hand as you want it to be, then measure it (you can do this with ur other hand, doesnt have to be in inches or centimetres or anything like that, just keep your fingers apart)...
And then compare it to your face and legs and chest..

Assuming you set the face as the thing to base your drawing around (many nonproffesional artists do for some reason) now u know the lenght of all the parts of the body in a realistic way... for anime styles, make the head bigger and breasts as well...

If you start drawing hands further to the front it gets harder (like when you have the character having a hand in front of his/her face), something you can try is this:

A realistic hand is about 3/4th of a face, hold your hand away as far as you want the character to hold it, keep it stretched. Now hold the other hand right in front of your face. The hand near your face is the hand of the character, then hand in front of you is 3/4th of the face...

if you do not understand the above, just say so I will try to explain it again..

Yay! It's almost my turn

Unlucky Slayer · Jan 24, 2007, 02:21 AM // 02:21

Get a moderator to do it. Users can not edit their own titles for some stupid reason.
