Hello, I'm commonly known as Icey but you may address me as you wish.

My small background and knowledge from art comes from Digital Art and AP Studio Art classes at school. Going on from high school to college. I'm trying a more realistic approach to my drawings but I need help in proportions, and perspective. So I would like critque on some of my works to help me improve. Critques and guildance is appreciated.

--- Currently I'm looking for some insight on this sketch before I try rendering it in color on another piece of paper. Suggestions? ( Ignore the the lines, wrinkles and glare. :/ ;;; )
--- And this one for the perspective and anatomy. Feel free to give comments on anything else that needs work.


( 7 / 12 / 2010 ) --- WIP dump, doing a bit of fanart to get me going.

Hello Icey,

I like your work, it is great. There would be a few things I would like to change. They are as follows(sketch):

1. I think that the girl's further eye looks a bit odd. To improve it I would keep on drawing it even through the hair, like the boys closest eyebrow.

2. The girls arm (not the one that raps around his neck) looks as if it is coming out of her head. I would perhaps lower it a bit and draw a big more of a neck.

Your second drawing:

Lovely drawing. only one thing I would like to change:

1. It seems a bit odd the way the buy is breaking through the glass. His pose is just a bit to forward. I would make him lean back as if he was charging through, sort of like a mid-air skid!

Overall, these pictures are fabulous!

Thanks for the advice and comments!

The girl's antomy and pose looks a lot better and less awkward.
Also changed the boy's eyes, it seemed to be too flat or didn't have enough direction.
