Some of my drawings.

**Dolly** · 08-28-2008

These have been up on my profile since I created it (albeit recently).

No anime relevance on it as of yet, but I've been working on some Naruto stuff recently because I'm really getting hooked on the series. (Finally caught myself up).

In any case, I should have some of the newer ones up by the weekend. Things go a little slow because of classes starting back up for me.

But here it is, I'd appreciate constructive criticism as well as possible ideas I could work from. (I know my anatomy is a little weak on some of the drawings, it's because they're from last year.)

The detail suits of the armor are pretty awesome, Uh I see a kind of combi with marvel and anime/manga. I can't explain it, Some suggestions, Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights, when shading. "don't outline to heavily." Big mistake I have learned is that outlining is not the smartest way to get depth within your pictures, but they look pretty awesome. Also wondering if your proportions of the heads accurately represent the body. Some of the heads IMO are too big for the body, such as the female knight in the first one. Oh well keep drawing, I'm no master at anything, but I am trying to base this off of what I have done in the past from my drawing classes. Maybe they're off because of your scanner, who knows.

You're right about the outlining, thank you for pointing that out to me.

As far as the anatomy goes, some of my drawings end up unfavorable because my sketch paper is bigger than my scanner, hehe. But in truth, some of the figures purposely look like that because they have similar proportions in the video game that they come from. ((Especially the second one)).

And I'll also keep trying harder on the shading, I know that's a particularly weak point for me. Thank you for your advice!

Updating the thread to proudly say I'm "actually" getting anime-relevant. My work-load on school has been bigger than I expected but I threw something together this evening.

And of course, it has to be my favorite anime girl.

Feedback is appreciated!

Furthermore, I may be getting ahead of myself, but I'd be honored to take member submissions for whatever the character etc. may be. After all, inspiration can be quite difficult for me.
