Artist's Comments
Okay, so taking the advice of Geoffrey Kater, I have decided to leave my comfort zone of drawing primarily women, and draw a -gasp- dude-man. Okay, so I was still sorta sheepish about it, and drew him from a back profile. I used some stock references for this, from various places. But now, it's done. And I can move onto throwing myself off a cliff for my next guy drawing.
The guy in the picture is Ronin...I think. Honest to God I do not remember his name. He's also from that same story that Akari is from that I wrote 10 years ago. His name is either Ronin or Akira. I'll find out when I go back up to NY and pull out the notebooks the story was in. Have I mentioned how lazy I am about doing backgrounds? I'm very lazy about it. so shut it. Also, I think it's stupid that in order to get a "critique" you need to have a subscription. Comments should be critiques in the first place. Dur. Will be doing more characters Akari: [link] Ronin: This one, stupid. Yushani: n/a Zenryo: [link] Pansa: n/a |

Well, let's see. I really like the way his body seem to have real weight, and his feet are positioned perfectly. His anatomy seem fine, though the big flowy cape covers most of it up. Speaking of which, the folds and designs are actually pretty good; the same goes for the pants.
Well, it probably has to do with his design, so it's not really a critique. but you shouldn't be afraid to make faces and NOT hide them with hair. As cool as it may look.
I like the colours you used in this, and the texture. :3 The blurred fence in the foreground adds depth to this, definitely; but maybe you could try making it something other than completely back? I don't know, just suggesting. It could work.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF BACKGROUNDS EITHER, DAMNIT. THEY'RE MORE AFRAID OF YOU THAN YOU ARE OF THEM.
Wait, that doesn't make sense.
Weeeell... That's it. I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A KNOW-IT-ALL OR ANYTHING. AND YOU'RE OLDER. AND BEEN THROUGH MORE STUFF AND WISDOM AND ALL THAT. So, I was being humble, I WAS. *paranoid*
I kinda wanted to ease myself into this one, and I started drawing it before I started doing my freelance that took me waaaaaay out of my comfort zone, so I was pretty apprehensive about drawing a face. After I started my freelance, which was so far out of my comfort zone it was scary, I got a lot more comfortable. Trust me, the next one will be nothing like this one lol. No hair covering the face...it just happened to work for this particular character.
I suck at line wight, I know lol. I know that like...The outter lines should be thicker than the inner lines and all that, but for some reason when I vector it, I forget to pay attention. I think it may be because when I do things like hands, I have to zoom in close, so the lines look thinner at like 300%. I need to start paying better attention.
I hate doing backgrounds lol. That's why mine tend to be pretty simple. Surprisingly enough, I've gotten complimented on them many times...which I totally don't get. I just do them because I feel I should. Again...my next drawing, will have a better background. I'm lazy xD
And backgrounds should be afraid of me. They should be VERY afraid.
Thanks for the critique, I appreciate it. Most people are afraid to hurt my feelings or something. I have no feelings! I shoved them away deep inside at the young age of 7! Not really...but I went to art school, so I know how it should be dammit!
I still love your drawing.

I appreciate the comments, and don't be afraid to give more in the future :3
I have my style. I know what I want to draw. And how. I just try something new when I think I can do it. When I am sure. I have the bad habit to give up soon and easly. I don't have a strong point in drawing.

If you stop drawing your mom will say, "I told you so."
