Author Topic: What can I do to improve my drawings?  (Read 7928 times)

I don't think I've seen attention whoring this obvious in a fair while.
Yep. pretty much.

Why is it attention whoring??

It isn't really a help thread, most people will continue to just post their own pictures because its an unwritten contest of sorts. Im just trying to get feedback

And what do you think the drawings megathread is for?
Could you imagine if everyone who drew stuff made their own thread about it? That's ridiculous. I suggest taking your art there.

I'm no saint either. I tried to make my own figures topic because I felt like the other one was more focused on gundams. I learned my lesson.

Just go drama me if you have a problem, Im not going to feed you so get someone else to do it.

I'm saving this quote for the history books.

Do you really need attention that badly?

woolys acted a fool on his last account and it appears he's still doing such

Alright, thanks for your input though.

I don't hate you, I don't know you.

I'm just surprised to see someone make a topic about their art even though the drawings mega thread has been here for so long. It seems selfish. Does it not?

No one is obliged to post in any megathread.  Personally I think the drawings megathread undermines the entire purpose of creativity board.  I suppose it serves some purpose as people who don't have the confidence or volume of work to post their own thread may feel more comfortable posting in it, but you may as well have a "topics" mega thread and never have a new thread again.  

That said, the reason I'm not banning taboo and pandan right now (both habitual jerks) is because this topic is blatant humble brag / compliment fishing.  

Considering they're habitual jerks, why don't you just ban them? It's habitual, it's always there. They don't change. Where ever they go they're jerks. What qualifies this as almost bannable compared to what they do on a regular basis.

That's why I was a jerk to him.

However; I should have taken the high road and ignored this topic completely if I felt that way. You're right and I apologise Wooly. I'll keep my mouth shut more often.

What I should have said is "There's a megathread for this, but nice work" But I didn't. Sorry.
I do like your art btw, I never said it was bad. I just felt disturbed by the separate thread. There's a lot of great artists in the megathread too. I browse that frequently.

I am most certainly not a jerk everywhere I go, but I do understand that me being a jerk sticks to memory more than me being kind and supportive. So i'll keep that close to mind for now on.

hey forget you it's an unwritten contest. there's plenty of criticism given on there.

and the way you're acting to opposing viewpoints sorta shows that even if we gave you constructive criticism you would ignore our negative viewpoints, but i'm going to forget my petty grudge and i'll give you some honest criticism

the shadows are very nice and high quality and it does actually look like skin. the shadows are very fluid and feel natural and the eyes are very nice looking- i especially like the light around the tear glands, looks very realistic. the shadow on the top of the forehead is a little jagged on the right side and doesn't translate well to the hair. the snow is a nice effect. my main complaint about it is the hair. it seems very low quality compared to the rest of it, and not necessary the structure of the hair, to say. it's definitely hair, it falls like hair and the strands feel like they have some life to them but they seem less out of focus compared to the rest of the body. a good example of it are the strands falling onto the face- they really clash. if the hair is supposed to be out of focus and draw attention to the face that would be all good but the strands falling onto the face should then not be out of focus. remember; hair is incredibly thin, so each strand should be done with the finest line.

i said the hair looked fine but i'm going to let it slide it's odd and unrealistic shape because it's an alien species. other than that add color and it'll be fine

there you go

TBH you should just ignore my post. I've never actually spoken with you before, and it was mostly meant for Taboo because of that. I don't like to judge based off the opinions of others.
