Critisism?

[Rei Kisaragi]

Looking for some critisism on some of my art peices c: (or just my art in general)

Spoiler

.

(Sorry for anything wrong with the pictures it's hard to upload pics on here with my phone...)

 

[Jamborenium]

first off the title should be spelled "criticism"
((also I see Nene c)

also they're pretty good but

-heads are a bit out of proportion, I'd recommend making them slightly smaller I mean they aren't bad they just seem a little off I don't know if it's just me TBH :'c

-hands could also use some work the fingers are bit on the long side, and should be shortened a bit

also I can't think of anything else TBH not good at this kinda thing, but I'm sure someone else will give much better criticism
anyhoo keep on practicing.​

Yeah I can't spell... ;-;
I love Nene >-< (The second pic is Christopher/Kiriha btw)

Yeah I have a lot of trouble with the heads... ;-; Idk why but one side is longer and smaller and just weird... takes a lot of fixing, but yup they usually are too big aswell, which I'm working on.

I'm actually doing some hand practic, trying to make the fingers a bit shorter... But they just go like that Idk why, but I'll work on it.

Thank you! >//<

I think for the first drawing, Xros Heart, the hands are a little off because from the viewer's perspective, they should see the hands pinky first to index last

Unless it's the viewer that is giving the heart signal to the girl c:

TBH I'm still not good at drawing hands myself, so yeah I too need more practice in that department

why are hands such a pain like seriously WTF Hands?
/looks at own hands/​

Wow these are so nice, you seem to have the faces perfected already imo, but a few little things i would work on if i were you is the hands (ugh hands are so impossible) and balancing out the anatomy. For example, In the last picture her lower arms, hands, waist (although in some anime type styles the waist can be that small though) and hips seems very small compared to the rest of the body. I think she could have small hips, if thats just how the character is built (and lots of women do!) in which case i'd recommend having her legs seperated a little bit more so she looks more balanced and posed and less like there was a slight anatomy error there. Also in the heart picture, I think the ends of the hair look maybe a little bit too feathered, and that it'd look like choppy/damaged if there was less feathering. A good way to make the hair look smooth and healthy but also messy, is to draw it in chunky-ribbon like strands instead starting from the roots of the hair, and then erasing some of the lines at the top. I'm not sure if I explained that every well so im sorry if its confusing

I found a picture that would depict the hands a little more properly, maybe it'll help? c:

Yeah I noticed that after I finished the inking, so I couldn't really fix it, and the ref picture I was using, didn't show any other fingers so I didn't really think that much about it... -Air-Head-

The heads look OK but when I draw the sketch I have to change the head alot...
All so yeah the last picture is kinda messed up... It was a new OC so I was kind of trying to build her up? If you understand that xD But I have seperated the legs on the actual picture, which makes the hips look more normal. (a bit...)
All so the Xros Heat Piture, that isn't a Oc and that's her design, her hair is straight with it choppy on the ends. But it could be improved a bit c:

Thank you~

Tysm! I was going to remake the Xros heart picture, just with another character anyway so that will be a good help c:

I like your art!
One thing I would suggest if you want to get better at anatomy is to use references. References are a huge help when you are practicing art, and there are lots of places dedicated for reference pics.
http://senshistock.deviantart.com/ has references for just about every pose imaginable, and is very helpful for action shots!
http://www.quickposes.com/gestures/random is a random pose generator for when you just want to practice. http://www.posemaniacs.com/randompose this one is the same, but if you want to look for a specific pose, you can!
I'm not sure is those are what you are

I don't usually like using refs :c
I prefere just getting insperation randomly, but these are a good help! (all so I'm kinda bad at copying poses/expressions an such...)

oh man :') seeing these bring me back heh
i used to draw just like this, lemme give it a shot

-first pic: the hands are off ;u; unless its the person viewing it thats doing the heart sign.
-study anatomy~ i used to make theyre breasts oddly proportioned LOL so yea studying anatomy really helps. try to get the "basic" geometric shapes of a body.
-HAIR: practice drawing the hair in strands? im not sure how to phrase it but theyre a bit "spikey" at the tips. The strands should be more "flowy and relaxed" but they look a bit stiff.
- eyes are pretty good c: //way better than mines were lol but the face shape is a bit to triangular
-though really, you'll get better naturally if you keep practicing (aka. just d.r.a.w)! good luck! u.u

Yeah I realized that after the inking.... :^;
I know the last picture is real odd and sometimes I find it really hard to draw breasts >.<
I usually draw hair in strands but the top character, Nene, has straight hair and choppy ends; Here's a pic!
Yeah I draw them like that.... It's cos the person who taught me anime drew like that< and my first anime did aswell.

Thank you! ^?^
