Blues Scribble

Critiques, huh? I'll see what I can do then. Proportion-wise, Searchman's gun seems rather huge compared to the rest of his body, and his helmet looks a little flat; I'd suggest making it slightly bulkier, and the gun needs to be smaller. I'm guessing you probably left out the camo marks on purpose and would have included them if this was a color pic. Good job on the hair. I'd also advise making his chest plate larger so that it extends further down his pectorals, and also making his lower body wide near the chest area and get narrower at the stomach.

::laugh:: When asking for advice, it would be a little wiser to not use words like damn. ^.^

I understand that you want your style to mature so I'll advise some. You need to anaylize the torso more, and make it not as bendy and more like human's pose. The arm needs to be modified as well, the joint should be lower and the foreshortening needs to be more obvious. The eye could be more detailed but it should be lower. The hair needs to look more natural.... ( don't know how to explain this part ) The gun needs work but you must already know that. But the best way to learn is observation of the greatest artists.That iss something you decide if you want to work for or not. ^.^

During cross fusion, the squares turn into arrows.

Anyway, since I'm lazy, I'll just review the Searchman pic. I'm not sure where his arm bends on his rifle arm, or if it's bent at all. His torso down to waist is a bit awkward. Is he bending back a bit? Otherwise, it's drawn pretty good. Especially the fingers. I can never do fingers right.

Rough sketch of Blues. Guide lines were left because of my laziness. Leave your comments, critiques, or whatever you'd like to say here :P

Very nice! You did a wonderful job with forshortening the Buster Sword, which to me, is no easy task. Keep up the fantastic work!

I like how you drew Blues with a very 'clean' outline. I suck terribly at neatening pictures. >>;; Anyways, he looks almost official. The Buster Sword is drawn well, the pose is good, and...eh, better than I can draw Blues, anyways XD

You could have changed some more of Blues' armor, but that looks good as it is. Great job.

ZOMG :O You gave Blues the scarf Capcom should've given him years ago. now if ya had him doin the whistle that would rock.

And the other stuff. Meh. Very nicely drawn, but the concept is kinda meh in my opinion. No real reason, just personally.

Just a minor update:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20691484/

Colors bled through the outline due to my laziness. Photoshop was also a biznatch by making the background color blend with DA (layers, that's why). Comment at your leisure.

*EDIT* Entire picture fixed, erased colors that bled through.

Regarding the whole Photoshop background conflict, perhaps adding another layer in the background done completely in white will solve this problem. Just add it in behind everything else, get the biggest brush you can, and then fill the entire layer in white, and that should get rid of the whole background problem.

This picture on a whole is well done, and the use of color here was very good. Gradient shading suits this pic rather well considering most of Blues' uniform aside from his helmet consists of flat surfaces.

Hey he looks cool with the lazy coloring! You should've made the scarf yellow, but thats just my opinion. Good job!

Before you start barking, please take note that the guidelines were left intact due to my uber laziness and proportional problems were not corrected. But do leave some serious critiques.

Sayonara, and good night, peoples.

Hehe, I could barely grasp the concept of drawing in profiles, but in my eyes you have mastered it. I never draw with guidelines, so that's why mine drawings look wobby and anorexic.

Don't worry about the guidelines; it makes the image look.... for lack of better word, I'll stick with professional. Because it is. :D

She looks a bit thin. Consider thickening out her waist and legs a bit. XD

Her arms are a bit thin as well.
Don't worry about the guidelines. Guidelines are used for parts you are not familiar with when drawing. Just keep practicing and you may one day draw without any of 'em.
