Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
The dog's head is pretty nice. It could kinda work as a cartoony representation of a tiny kitty and a large dog, although the dog is on a more realistic style than the cat.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
On the list!
Day 141: Nostalgia P1
Elwin was the very first character I ever roleplayed. He was fairly terrible, a half-veiled ripoff off Terry Pratchett vampires. He was for a forum where everyone was playing overpowered self-inserts.
But, in the end, a vampire fiddler who dressed like a clown, was a sarcastic bastard, and got disintegrated off screen and came back years later as a pair of disembodied eyebrows wasn't the worst start I could have made on this whole writin' thing.
Picture's quite quick and is terribly flawed, but it had a few interesting challenges that got me thinking and all I wanted to do today.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
Shirtless standing mirror art is best art. I'll do it again when the weather warms up
It was great practise, too ^^
Griffon's half lion, and the Strength card is a chick holding a lion's jaws closed. I coulda used the manticore but griffons are cool.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
Eyup. It gets worse if you ever take to palpating an area to discern it's properties.
And they said vanity was a bad thing! But then one day, they drew the sternocleidomastoid as a single cord. WHO WAS LAUGHING THEN HYPOTHETICAL JUDGING PEOPLE?! WAHAHAHAHAHA!
Related, anatomy practice is really just learning the basics, and then seeing how they differ person to person.
An example; Mookie, artist for Dominic Deegan, always draws his ladies with the dame but shape, despite them all being differently built. Mookie seems to have memorized one way the flutes lay together, and stuck to it- all of his characters have unfortunate white girl butts.
Try to hit up different sources to see how things differ. For arms and torsos, look at body builders, wrestlers, farmers, shirtless geeks, porn adds, etc. Compare them to tutorials. You'll see all sorts of interesting differences in the overlay, the space between belly of the muscle and it's connection points... IRS fun.
Preach it, brudda!

Day 145: A hop-skip and jump!
Whoops! Left this too long so I defaulted to something not super challenging. And 'cause I'm me, I found a way to make it challenging. The sword isn't good, per se, but it definitely has some perspective going for it, and the picture feels like it has motion. Mask looks good, you can tell I've practised that. Net win.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
That's Athena/Minerva's owl, isn't it?
Yeah, the faces always seem to need more practice, don't they?
The main thing I notice from your image is that the eyes are different sizes. I think I read in a (cartooning?) book that the eyes are the thing people take in first. You can get away with a bit of wobbliness with the rest of the image, but the eyes are really noticeable.

Yes; but it's a reference to the Crete LP on the Something Awful forums. Which was, aha... insane.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
Good sense of motion there, though his right arm seems to have been the victim of some sort of industrial accident... the glove on the right hand needs more perspective applied to it as it currently looks as if it is going straight back from the viewer's POV.
If the cuff of the glove was concave and had some shading under it there would be more sense of the hand pointing away from the viewer. The same could be said of the elbow joint, as it currently looks to me like the lower arm is going straight up, not pointing towards the background.
And is that his thumb on the outside?
For the legs as a personal thing I'd put the right leg up or down a fraction so the the right thigh is visable behind the left. This isn't necessary by any means, but it would give more solidity to the picture. If you did it below you may need to adjust the waist and hips slightly.
First thing I must say is don't just draw girls. That's what I did, and while I can certainly draw women easily, I cannot draw dudes - it's somewhat bizzare really, but just learn to draw faces
Bald people are a great resource to study as you can get the full head shape and just add hair on yourself
As for your pic, the construction lines are a bit distracting, but the two things (aside from the crazy eye) that stand out are her jawline and nose. She has a very wide face, but a very thin jaw, but as it's only sketchy it's a bit hard to say for certain.
With her nose the nostrils are too low and the perspecitve is off on them. Here's a good link to pics of women's faces from the same perspective and roughly the same expression, so you will hopefully be able to see what I mean.
Vertically proportionally the pic is prettymuch spot on, but the horizontal is odd. I think the nose and mouth drift off centre, but again, sketchyness here so not a huge issue.
Though I'm sure you've got some already, here is one resource for facial proportions, and here is another.Princess in the streets.

Challenge accepted! Happen it shall!
I was rushed and exhausted, and I got to the hands, and I was like 'yeah, nah'. Otherwise, these are all good points and I'll remember 'em.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
Day 149a: Nostalgia p2: Athi
Athi was another old character, and part of my first foray into science fiction. She's an Azura'goldir, the pilot caste of the Kobold race. The Kobolds have a special place in my heart; they're my idea of an utopian society, and funnily enough everyone else sees them as a kind of creepy dystopia. This just proves that everyone but me has stupid ideas about politics.
Anyway, Athi. Shot down, crash landed, stranded on a human planet and cut off from her Clutch - closer than her family - Athi had a hard life and, because the game petered out before it went anywhere, she never got a happy ending. I always felt sorry for her, stranded on that alien world, staring at the stars and wanting to go home.
This picture was an experiment in drawing a female body, and I learned a lot. I also had to stare at a set of breasts for so long that they stopped being sexy, which is an unfortunate side effect of art.

Re: Thanqol Learns To Draw!
I know what you mean. You know they're trying to create meat without the animal? Just growing muscle by itself? Everyone but me thinks that's creepy.
So what's Kobold society like?
