[Ratty524]

It's not bad to attempt anything, so long as you learn from your mistakes and keep trying. Pushing yourself is key to being a successful artist.

@ Ratty - You're right! I must keep practicing! Then I'll become good!

@ Bacon - Awwwwww. You made me smile. The main thing Star's got on me is anatomy and hands. Especially hands. D=

More sketched artwork on line paper. XD

A little girl. D=


Same girl, but older. O_oa

[Strawberry]

I drew the same girl again. I think I like her too much. XD I tried to draw her hands this time. Yeah. >>

Sorry about the anime-esque face. I couldn't make her look cute using realism.

[X-M-O]

Does that mean girls aren't cute in reality? D=
How insulting!

Nah, I know what you meant, lol.
Anyway, the hands are looking good - bit more practice, but they're much better than I can do. ^^

[Zortik]

Strawberry, I really like how you draw clothes. , They flow with the form very well and don't have that 'flat' look like they're part of the body and not actual clothing.

I'm impressed I'm going to say what's already been said, but you're VERY good with faces, especially the profile. Profile's are the hardest thing to draw you know. I still struggle with them after like lol 18 years of drawing. Your style in certain pictures reminds me a lot that of the artist that did shit for Xenogears and those games. Mainly in the shape of the face, eyes, mouth and... Hair... So, I guess everything LOL.

Do you mind if I ask how you go about drawing a picture? Like where and how do you start? If that makes any sense. Do you do a sketch first? Or do you just have at 'er?

[Strawberry]

Thank X. XD I'm gonna call you "X" from now on.

Yeah, I've been told I can do clothes very well. ^^ But um, why did you post your pictures in my thread? O_oa Did you want me to comment on them? Truth be told, I'm an amateur, so I don't really know how to comment on other people's work.

Now I don't know who Homunculus is talking to. Either me or Zortik. O_oa

If it's me, I always start with the face. O_oa I usually look at another picture, copy the pose, and draw my own characters. XD

I might have more later if I can get out if this depressive slump...

[X-M-O]

Yeah, Homu was talking to you.


Zortik, you should post your own topic for art and ask for critique there (if you're searching for it) and then ask Strawberry to check it out if you were wanting specific critique from her.
Posting artwork in someone else's art topic isn't permitted (unless it was specifically requested by the person who started this art topic).
While we love to see your art, you'll need to have your own topic to display it, or to ask for critique on it. Thanks. =]

Honest mistake actually. I started on the second page instead of the first and made a wrong assumption that this was a generic artwork thread because of the topic name! I'm gonna edit my post actually to remove the pictures but leave my commentary about her clothing.

I never meant to take away from your thread strawberry, :3. I should refrain from posting things so very early in the morning and after being at work for almost 11 hours. I don't draw nearly enough to justify starting my own art thread, which is why I took the random stab at what I thought was a generic topic.

[X-M-O]

No worries, we all make mistakes.

And hey, any amount of artwork that you've put effort into is justification to start your own art topic.

[Zortik]

Also Strawberry, while I'm certainly no artist. I could say that your hands are a bit too round, which could be what is throwing off the perspective. You have a great grasp for keeping things to it's proper scale and your own style is quite endearing. Just remember that when you're making hands your palm should not really stick out further than the base knuckle on the pinky finger. After you get the base dimensions right then I'm sure you'll be able to nail the details as well as you do clothes!

[Strawberry]

Haha, it's okay guys! I've been told clothing and faces are my strong suit in art. XD Hands and proportions, not so much.

Here's me practicing realism. I don't like her shoulders or the top of her head, but eh.

[X-M-O]

Wow, it's brilliant! ^^
The eyes, lips, and neck are especially nice. =D
(Those are the important things I look for in a profile anyway, lol.)

[Redd]

Wow, you are a VERY good artist Strawberry

P.S. elf ears aren't real

[Strawberry]

No, no they're not. But I was referring to drawing style, anyhoo.

All I draw are girls (they're cute and I'm extremely biased), so I dubbed today until next Friday - DRAW MALES WEEK! YAY.

To begin, I drew two males. ^^

Here's this guy. I don't know, I don't really like it. Not because it's realism, but because I think his hair blows (it's supposed to be messy and unkempt....) and I can't draw hair at like ALL. Gah...



Then I drew the most random modern, male character ever. He's so generic, eh. It's not realism, but whatever. I like this one better than the other one, for some reason. Maybe because it's simple. I dunno.

[X-M-O]

Nice work. =D
Especially since you don't draw males much.

I agree though, the second one looks better (and you did really well with his hair versus the first one). =]

[Nanashi]

Amazing how you improve on areas you had trouble with and in general. I like the girl you draw a lot also, and the elf lady. She's great looking, even the curls are perfect~ Where do you get your ideas for outfits? You don't show any problems with how they have the right flow or thickness.

[Strawberry]

Hehe, thanks. XD I'm glad you like those two girls. One is for my game, the other for a novel...

I kind of have some inspiration from games/movies/shows for outfits, but I create something entirely different. o.o

Changed up the last guy a little bit... Nothing new...

[Nanashi]

That's a nice improvement! His outfit suits him

Games and novels, I see~ Do you think that you will post any of that work? There is not enough literary arte here and even fewer that will read it but those that do will greatly appreciate it. Me, included!

Do the game and novel tie in together?
