Looking good! Last one's arm seems a bit too long, even for being foreshortened, though.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate the time, effort and insight you have shared. You spoil me. Yes, you do.

Today was a real eye opener. It was just a casual painting, but the impact of these assignments on the canvas was undeniable. Thank you. You have brought my art to life.

It's quite good. I've found that when you practice doing the technical stuff, it starts to show up when you go on autopilot.

I pretty much only have one nitpick: her back leg joins too far out on her pelvis. Otherwise, it's really quite good <3.

Um , I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on what outfit my character should have. I want him to be a fantasy or medieval type of character, but I'm not sure what he should wear or which type od character out of the two he should be. Do you have any ideas?

By the way , sorry if I shouldn't be asking this , But I'm having a lot of trouble with it sweatdrop

Umm... I think it would be best if you went with medieval, simply because it has a basis in reality, so you can find loads of awesome references. Also, fantasy clothing is pretty much just an alteration of medieval fashion (with men's clothing, anyway. I don't think they wore brass bras in the middle ages).

Don't be sorry, no question is ever not good enough. What trouble are you having?

I'll go with medieval then. Thanks! ^^

And the trouble I'm having is where the pelvic line should go , because I'm not very good at drawing men , so I don't really know where it should go.I know a rough idea of he area it should be , but I'm not sure of the excact position,(Well , I know it doesn't go higher than his hips or lower than his thighs , but still.)

Umm... I dunno how to explain it.
Study a skeleton and then a person in the same position, and try to visualize the pelvis. The crotch is where his pelvis ends, and then leave some room for his junk. Obviously, it's up to you how much room to leave, just, yanno. Leave some room.

It'd be a lot easier to explain if you scanned what you have done thus far.

I understand that it's hard to explain , that's fine ^^
I'll have a look at the skeleton and the person , and what I've done so far.

Again, sorry I couldn't explain better.
