Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm just gonna go waaaay back to Friday. : D



Cloth and folds because I can do that better than anatomy and... Stuff. :U

What is good is that you remembered that there will be wrinkles as the dress is being pulled in by the cloth around her mid section. : D Excellent. But also remember to take the nature of the garment into consideration. Since it folded where it met the blue fabric, I'm getting the impression that this is not a tight, tight dress but a flowy one. Therefore the fabric will hang off protrusions. So you really wouldn't see the under curves of the breasts because the fabric will hang out over the farthest points--her nipples. :U

There's a recess between her breasts but I'm not sure how tight the fabric is up there (Otherwise would does it stay over her chest?...) so I can't really gauge how 'straight' those wrinkles would be. They'd be straighter if the fabric were tighter and more loose if the fabric were loose. : D I'm guessing they aren't too tight since otherwise I suppose the supple flesh would be shifted about a little. Simply my take on clothing~ : D

Great work on folds otherwise~ It's really bringing out the form~

i hope this is better



if anything is unclear let me know (i.e. my handwriting)

and sorry for the all the technical terms and stuff. its just how we refer to anatomy even as artist. you just get used to it and it totally slipped my mind

Just double posting so people know I posted new art ^^;

not to tear your advice down morro, cause you did give some very good points. but this is a fantasy creature. double shoulder sockets don't exist for a reason and for a creature like this to fly the pec muscles would be totally massive(look at the chicken its like 85% breast and doesn't fly). but then again the in theory the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly but it does (mass versus wing span).

just some anatomy info for the both of ya

and i don;t blame you morro i was kinda thinking the same thing when i 1st saw it but mostly about the chest muscles. i guess i'm too much of an anatomy geek

anywho keep up the good work guy i like all the great stuff you both have been doing

Alright, just thought I'd give a little update, here is my current WIP, I decided to try something new with shading and making the mane, you guys tell me if it looks better! and to tell you again WORK IN PROGRESS!!, I still have a few things I need to draw, and color, and shade XD oh yeah FYI, this picture and the one I posted before it are the same character as the humanoid I posted on the front page. She is a character from a book me and my Fiance are writing together.

Okay I noticed no one is posting so I just want to let everyone know the kind of style I really want to do.

I want to draw cartoons, whether it is anime, or disney style, not crappy cartoons mind you, I want to draw the styles of persay

Princess Mononoke
Lion King
Inuyasha
Avatar the Last Air bender
Balto

I want to draw the cartoons, that look semi realistic in a way, because I dream of making a story of mine into an animated film, even if I have to do it on my own and use friends as voice actors, that is my dream.

sure I love to color in a realistic way, but I love to draw in a cartoon style. I wouldn't mind learning how to make fantasy creatures look as if they are real, but it is more important for me to learn a less realistic genre, I hope that helps with the critique!

W00t! You guys probably thought I died, but I think I may have finally cured my art rut. This is Raeyu again, but with a twist, I have been roleplaying an Inuyasha Fanfiction with a friend of mine and this is what Raeyu would look like human. Sooo Critique please ^-^ I prefer red lines because I'm `tarded and to not understand scientific terms.

Ooh, I gotta say, I love your style of working. :3 Good to know I'm not the only animal artist here, too.

I was gonna touch on the wings from an earlier post, but I think I'll leave that alone; you've prolly got enough info for that right now. x3
Your character's a fluffball; she's cute. ^^

I'm going to touch on your colored pencil work here. Overall there's a nice mastery of texture in the fur and hair, and on the scales. There's just a few areas that need a little work.
First thing that caught my eye were the ears. Their tips are uneven; as in, the one furthest from the viewer is higher than the one closer. It should be the reverse, if at all.
Where's her other eye? O.o I know it's hidden by her hair, but it's good practice to at least sketch it in and then hide what won't be seen later.
Her visible elbow looks a little out of whack, as well. I think I can see what you were going for, but it's made her humerus (upper arm) very short as a result. No need to make the bump that connects the upper and lower arms so pronounced, either. It's a very smooth transition, except in emaciated people, and she by no means looks all that anorexic. It smoothly widens at the elbow before tapering down to the wrist; which, by the way, should have just a little more thickness to it, in my opinion. >w<

Her legs are what got me next. But without knowing what they look like fully extended, I'm just going to treat them as standard digitigrade (walking on the toes) legs without regard to any difference in lengths from standard digitigrade. ^^;
In that pose, we should be able to see her lower right leg just a little bit as it goes from the ankle to the toes. What we can see makes her legs look rather short. In fact, I would almost think that pose painful, unless she's just about to stand up and has one foot under her already. This is hard to explain in words for me; I could draw it better than I could explain it. ^^;

But overall, I gotta say you've got a nice style in the works. :3 And if you ever need any help with your animal stuff, give me a holler and I'll see what I can do to help you. I'm pretty into a toony semi-realistic style, myself. Man, I envy your human faces. x3 I can't do them to my satisfaction at all.
