AP you really need to just go ahead and stop teasing these guys and post all the other stuff. Damn I can't stop calling you AP even though you're names different now :/
Oh well I actually already have done so even though it's only 1 picture. It can be found here http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?t=75644
Well you could use those blank figures/dolls to position them anyway you want and they also help for 3D effect. So for the basics I'd say use one of those, but if you want a little more in the form of musculature and detail I'd recommend getting several pictures of the human anatomy and just drawing them a couple times. Nothing fancy really just enough so you get the gist of it all.
Well currently I'm in the Exiled RP which is what brought to this forum, it's a long story but I digress. Anywho I've posted a a topic in the Traditional Art section showing just a taste of what I can do, even though looking back at it I know I can do better. Nice to meet you mrsbaggins
In the first set of picture with the two guys standing there. I'd say the heads aren't proportionate to the body and the necks are a tad too long and thin. There's bodies could use a bit more realistic attributes I.E not making their arms so thin, their shoulders could also stand to be a bit wider. Last but not least their feet are too small and I have a problem with them just standing in mid air rather than having them in some sort of space even if it's slightly hinted at. The second picture is ok, but the head is a tad bit too small, or it may be the right size it's just the clothes are huge on this character (which I'm sure you intended) so it's making it harder for me to tell what's proportionate and what isn't. I imagine those little bumps coming out from underneath the sleeves are their hands? If so then I believe you've made his arms a tad too long. Also adding in a couple bit of details in the clothing, maybe a bit more ripples and folds to make them feel more waited and realistic. For the third picture, their heads seem to be a bit too small and again the necks are too long and thin. A mid section is also way too long and disproportionate and again their arms are too long. I'd really like to see more details in the clothing as I've mentioned when relating to the other pictures. Other than that I'm not really a big fan of tooth pick legs so, but even though I don't like them it's not that big a deal considering it's just your personal style right now. The Last picture I'd say has to be the best of all 4 in my opinion. I mean you're exploring your possibilities and there's still room to go back and adjust. There's an RPG game for the ps2 that the character in picture four reminds me of but the name escapes me at the moment. Anyway I don't really have any critic for this one considering it's more of a very rough sketch. Although I would like to suggest that you angle the feet slightly more to the right. Overall you're okay, nothing spectacular and you could definitely benefit from drawing more human anatomy pieces. Trust me when I say the more you work on it the better you'll get to the point of not even having to think about it anymore. I mean anime style is good, but I'd honestly recommend studying real life first so you have a better grasp when converting to anime. Honestly if I were you I'd add in more details in shades and tones to give everything a bit more depth and weight, but that's just a personal preference so I can't dock points for that.
aw man I didn't realize :<
So what made you add me?
oh hey thanks for the friend request.
Here it is finally finished after several days of working on this. I had meant to have it finished a lot earlier but school was more important so I had to take about a week off. The last part were the bracelets which looking weren't as hard as I figured they'd be. I went back and touched up the darkest places with an 8B pencil, highlighted a little bit more with it in some lighter areas to give the appearance of more depth. I also went back and highlighted with my eraser in areas that needed a few lighter tones. After all was said and done I went back and photoshopped the eyes by overlaying them in red as to make them stand out more. This in all took me about 20 hours to complete over the span of 7 days in total. All and all I'd say it turned out better than i expected. Note that this was done about 4-5 months ago, maybe more in honesty I forgot.
Lol so this is your KH-Vids profile. I asked Ojike because I wasn't sure, but then he pointed out that it's the exact opposite of Angel's Prayer lol. Almost forgot to ask is Selvix in the Exiled story or no?
I prefer drawing, shading is kinda my thing honestly.
As mentioned above the names ╬ProperArtist╬ and I'm originally from the KHinsider forum, but due to a series of events I also became a member here as well. Just in case anyone's wondering, the name isn't just for show purposes, I am a fine artist/illustrator.
so there's another RP in the RP section?
Oh well thank you and sorry about the mix up I thought your account was Brexen's old one.
