I love this version, it's very detailed. ^^

I know it's difficult to get the hands/fingers right, but I don't think you should avoid having them on the pictures. Keep it up! =]

[HowSplendid]

heh heh yeah I got ya, but here's one to help with the hands.



A preview ^^

I decided to post a sketch of my 5th paperchild. I wanted to color it digitally this time and of course cut it out like I usually do. I think this is my best paperchild so far. Very happy with this one. ^^ This isn't the final version as I still need to fix a few things, but I just wanted to get it out there.

It looks like your work is getting a lot cleaner, its nice to see a real artist posting in the art threads, its been kinda bare lately.

I'm guessing there was quite a variety of styles to look at. Regardless, there are quite a lot of great artists; I'm glad to have gotten the chance to check out their galleries too.

Oh it used to be a blast, the sad thing was I wasnt much of a artist back then so I couldnt fully appreciate all the art posted back then but I did enjoy it. Now days I have to be picky for some reason. I really like your work cause it has a theme to it, the fox/cat ppl is interesting, I just post random stuff but I wish I could focus on just one theme like your doing.

Yay! Another paperchild!

This one looks great, and the comedy is still fresh, so great job there.

Also, you named him Alan Walker? As in... D.GrayMan? ♥

Not bad. The reference is pretty good, regardless that the eye is a little low.

As for the the no reference, it's not bad and the body proportions are good and I also love the feeling of the clothing, try to focus more on the face too. Nicely done though. ^^

Thanks what kind of drawing tools do you use I don't have any special one I draw straight from the #2 just wondering to see if you have advice on what i should use for better shading and toning.

Well...actually all I use for drawing is a standard .5mm lead pencil and pencil tip eraser. As for shading, I don't tend to shade in my sketches as I use gimp to do that for me, so sadly I can't really help on that, sorry... ^^;

[Kaleb Daub]

thats alright but whats Gimp.

[Magical_RuNE_Kni...]

... :is bored and never has anyone to art talk w/.. lol. :
