He stole my idea. sad But yes! Guidelines like boxes n stuffs help. They make the figure of my work before the work comes to life. lol. Some anatomy problems, yes. like on the 1st picture posted, the jawline seems lower than it supposed to be. Otherwise, it seems fine. You're coloring style is nothing anyone could change just because they say so. I myself sat stick to it because it gives you're work it's uniqueness. There's one thing I have to point out about the faces [I know you don't want to change them] is... If you think of it, not everyone has the same faces [except twins]. They style of the faces fit the characters well, but the way it seems is that the characters have the same faces. There are ways to change faces without changing the loving lashes you put on them. heart Men have different faces than women, usually more defined and sharper angles [unless he's extremely feminine]. There are exceptions to things like this but it all depends on how his body works with it. Experimenting with that should help. Just think of how a character's face is what a person remembers them by, especially they eyes, and right now, you can only tell the difference by the eye color, which would throw someone off if two had the same eye color.

Hope I helped! biggrin

great stuff i really like the way you colored the hair in the 2nd piece. you may color differently but it works for you and that's all that matters

as for the bounding box thing i would like to push that idea a little further and recommend you use skeletal landmarks with the bounding box that way its like an easy to follow map to figure drawing ^_^

oh hahaha it was like 4 am when i posted and i forgot not everyone uses that terminology.

a skeletal landmark is like a spot on the body where the bone kinda sticks out. the pelvis is one of the best places to start learning. the ASIS*(trying not to get technical but those are the pointy hip bones that you can feel under you skin where your tummy starts to kinda become your groin and legs) the reason using muscular landmark a tend to be avoided when possible is because they can change too easily. either by flexing or just moving different parts of the body. also joints are used, the clavicle, the sternum and xiphoid process are common landmarks

i know i'm throwing a lot of information and technical terms at ya so if anything is confusing let me know


*ASIS is the acronym for Anterior superior iliac spine if you were wondering

i like the new drawing

but she is too stiff in the shoulders and the arm. the hand when relaxed falls below the crotch. so when drawing the grabbing the junk pose the arm should have a slight bend to it. that should fix the stiffness in the shoulders as well.

she looks as if shes bending backwards slightly. i think it was you trying to add the perspective of a lower camera angle right? if so it might be alittle too late to fix now.

also i wouldn't go as far to say that its socially acceptable for either boy or girls to grab their junk and say suck it per say. its just more frowned upon for girls

as for the arm it should bend out. not by too much it should be an obtuse angel. remember that you have to reach up to grab your crotch

as for the shoulder i think moving it back alittle should do the trick

haha i don't think i live close to you.... for some reason i think you live in FL. i for certain live in CA

Your art looks swell, just one question, did you mean to color your stuff in high contrast? I was just wondering, I never saw your old stuff 'cause I'm new here.

It just is really bright...
The anatomy is excellent! I love the shading detail as well.
