About


Well, I was working on how to draw a little better, an decided to make an anthropormophic animal... So, I got a clean sheet of paper and while looking at another picture i got online, i came up with this free-hand drawn Anthro-Bat.
I did Not trace the picture.

I like the face. <3

Looks odd because it suffers from crooked lines syndrome. A common mistake newcomers make when trying to draw something that they are copying. If the same person tries to make something original, it gets far weirder and crookeder.

Good attempt, but I feel you should have spent more time in keeping the lines from being all crooked and incorrect. The main shape is correct, but that is about where the "correct" part ends.

Also, try not to just directly copy pictures. You only want to do this very rarely, and I would suggest to do it with something that is real, and not already drawn, that way it teaches you more about how things should look anyway (if you can't get something that was real drawn in your style, then you will do far worse for something that is already fake). Never directly copy a picture somebody else drew unless you POST the original along with yours and explain that you were doing so (you at least got the latter part correct). This way you don't come off as a wannabe art thief.

Also keep in mind that you get 0 credit for copying, and heavy referencing you get only partial credit at best. Basically, you only get credit for what you originally made. Don't expect to get credit for anything BUT that.



Anyway, just keep trying.

If I thought you drew like stuff, I would have said exactly that.

Also, very good, Bounty.

I like it a lot. The only problems that I see are that the left arm is lacking muscle and the fingers of the right hand are a little distorted. Also, maybe it's just me, but the center of gravity seems to be a bit off too, so try to make him stand a little straighter. Other than that, keep up the good work!

Try not to just directly copy pictures.

While I understand your logic, I found that in my early days of drawing that copying many pictures which incorporate many styles helps you form your own style. Just thought I'd say that.

Same here.

It looks fine at first but if you really look at it it starts to look really weird.
