Background
I am an art hobbyist who reads tons of art tutorials whenever possible. I've taken one class in Fundamental drawing at a community college close to my house and had some art classes in highschool and middleschool.

I also believe that my anatomy & physiology class also somewhat helped me with anatomy with drawing. (I had sketched various bones in class and observed the class skeleton. The knowledge of the origin and attachments of the muscles may have helped me as well. I just need to apply it more.)

Weaknesses:
-Drawing backgrounds and architecture
-Thinking creatively
-Coming up with dynamic poses
-Having eye-catching
-3-point perspective for people
-Night-time Lighting

hi! Of your sketch, he doesnt look that imbalanced to me. You do have a pretty good sense of anatomy! The only thing is that his shoulders seem a little smal [supposed to fit a head on each] but whenever the head fits the shoulders look to big. This is coming from someone who isnt an expert thought! ^^;;;


I think you have really good art! Please post some more! 3nodding

It's just really tiny tweeks, but I went and redlined it for you:

Be care of the hat. It should be lower on the head. Also, I couldn't quite see what his legs were doing so I made something up. 8D

@theairalchemist:
Thank you for the feedback! Hmmm...I think his shoulders might appear small because of his clothes, but I tried to modify it. Now I'm worried his shoulders look uneven. x_x Am I imagining things?

I'll try to post more, but lately, I haven't been as imaginative. ^^;

@Sriae:
Thank you for red-lining and pointing out what I failed to notice. 3nodding I tried to define the legs and had the intent of making him in the midst of walking and tried to make his hat a little lower. (It's tilted a bit in the reference pic I used in the revision.)
