Title: Last time I do it from scratch!

Since I don't have any idea for my starfield (I just can't get it right for now so I guess I'll wait a bit), I decided to do some vector graphics... I've done this onw with Inkscape (kind of Illustrator in Linux) from scratch, not even a small sketch to help me and it's the last time I do it this way lol! I had a hard time drawing the guy (especially the hands), but oh well, I think it worth it... when I look back at my old sketches I think it's going well.

I recently showed some to my friends and they said that my characters (tho for now are almost the same for practice purpose) face had similarities with mine. I was a bit surpised lol! But one of my friend told me that artists sometimes have the habit of "drawing themselves" when making a character. So it must apply partly to me I guess lol!

Anyway, what do you think? Still going better (maybe you remember the last time I posted one of my characters...)?

Hey, long time no see. :)

Coming along nicely mate. The face looks a little bit weird and he looks like he's going down a steep hill but nice effort. :D

Keep it up. :yes:

Haha no he's not goinf down a steep hill, he's walking very cautiously against the wall (maybe I should put the wall closer). It would have been more obvious with a context but since I don't really have one... well...  :nervous: I would like to know what you find weird in his face.

The angle is a bit off on the face I think. It's hard to describe. Maybe the position of the eyes? Gah.
The posture seems a little stiff too. Maybe he should be hunched over a bit more with one arm out in front, and one trailing behind. Kinda like a ninja. :p
Still, I like, I like. :)

*pokes*
That reminds me, when are you going to do some more sketches or photography? ;)
:D

 :lol: No I don't! Maybe some slight similarities but no lol!

And I dunno when I'll post more sketches that I've done: my scanner is down right now (not supported in Linux, waiting for a new hard drive to put Windows for my games... and scanner). As for the photographies, if you asked a photo of me, I'm not going to post it  :lol: . But if you meant photographies in general, well I didn't take much photos recently.

But I might post more soon... I just finished my sketch book and I started a new one so I may scan some stuff at school.
