Title: cyborg drawing
Post by: icespeed on February 06, 2005, 09:18:10 pm: this is me being random, mainly because i now know the secret of the img tags (omg, i am _such_ an _idiot_) and because i want to see whether deviantart actually allows me to do this.

and also because i quite liked this picture so i thought i'd share it with you guys.

I'm really trying to look at the leg, but it's just not working.

It's an almost straight line at the moment - is should be more of a curve. Aad perhaps do some more shading to the rest of the body - as BD seems to have noticed, most of the detail is in one place as-is. Perhaps some more creases in the tunic around the shoulders and arms, and on the bent leg? Very good, though :nod:

It's odd that you two can see it and I can't. DA is just funny that way I guess. It only works sometimes, apparently.

Post by: icespeed on February 08, 2005, 02:54:55 am: okay, how's this?

i think originally i'd done the picture, picked up a 7B, shaded the most obvious place, got bored and went to find something to eat and then forgot about the whole thing. is this any better?

i need to get criticised more, i see my own stuff too much and i'm starting to lose exactly what needs improving, techniques-wise.

Post by: pyro-manic on February 08, 2005, 01:02:47 pm: Yeah, that's looking better. :yes: That shoulder is the only thing that sticks out as not quite right now - apart from that it's excellent :)

Post by: WMCoolmon on February 08, 2005, 05:55:38 pm: His face looks wrong to me...it seems malproportioned or something. If I focus on it I can't see anything definitely wrong, but when I look at the whole, it doesn't seem right.

Post by: icespeed on February 08, 2005, 07:44:45 pm: hmm. well, i'm not about to change anything to do with the lines, cos that would involve a lot of rubbing out which would basically wreck the whole thing. that's the thing about hand-drawing, sometimes i wish there was a tool where you could just erase stuff without smudging the rest of the picture.

but thanks guys.
