I believe that I had one of these posted sometime in the past, but I don't want to go and look for it in the depths of the Art forum, nor do I want to necro post/revive it. Instead, I've decided to make an entirely new topic altogether! I'm going to try and draw more frequently, and the pieces that I actually finish I shall place both here and on Deviant Art.
Here are two of my most recent drawings:

Entitled "Welcome Home".
-
Quite creepy, and quite awesome. I love your work here.
-
I feel like you're using deformed creatures and abstract anatomy to hide you're weaknesses.
But it looks like you have a nice control of the pencil/ink pen. You have nice lineweights. You should do some more. I dont feel like I can properly judge your art based off of these 3. Post more.
-
Welcome Home reminds me of what would happen if Pyramid Head and Harley Quinn mated
But anyways, yeah...this is wonderful
Very nice
-
Moar incoming. Er...one more, anyway.

I love the shading on your sketches.
For the one you just posted- I really like it too. The only thing I'd suggest is maybe drawing the figure first, then drawing the clothes onto it as right now he seems kind of flat- you can't really imagine a body under the clothes.
Looks awesome though!
-
Finally! I was able to get another one done. Har she is.
'Tis a Demon General (Flower-themed =P) with his little minions flying around him.

Thing with the pen? =O
And here's another one. It's a witch (sort of) with a demon-shaped chair behind her.

You confuse me.
You have such great line confidence. Like you're really awesome at line weights and not doubling over on them. Everything looks clean
But then you have...well...to be honest, pretty horrible anatomy. I think you should work on that. ALOT.
Still cool though, just like get some basic forms before you lay down those awesome lines.
-
I agree with Rev. The drawings look beautifully natural but there's things about them that just don't work which your awesome style is covering up.
Life drawing classes are pretty helpful, if you haven't taken any. I've forgotten who on here said you have to know human anatomy before you can mess it up, but I totally agree.
-
Yeah, I'm just gonna half agree with the last two posts. I don't think you messed up the figures as much as they did, but once they pointed it out I noticed some slight flaws... flaws which are easily overlooked.
I personally think that your art is fantastic the way it is. I would find it difficult to draw a realistic flower general too.
-
Ha ha. Thank you, everyone. I'm glad I've got your honest opinions on things. Glad that you all decided to comment, too!
Yeah, my anatomy is pretty much in the gutter. However, I am trying to improve upon it! Well...bit-by-bit, that is. I'm drawing at least 1-3 times a day (1-3 pictures) and these are going to be fully shaded and everything. That is starting tomorrow. I manage to do it in Art class, so I'm going to do it home, too. Er...well, I don't usually finish 2. Maybe 1, or if I'm lucky 1 and a 1/2.
Still, I plan to get some pictures (whatever I can find: people, animals, etc. All in odd positions and such) and then draw 'em. Well, try to draw them, anyway! I have to keep on working at it! I can see where I'm going wrong, and can picture everything fine in my head...but it's getting it onto the paper that hurts! It never really comes out right, and that's because I don't know enough about the body and such to put it in the positions I want it in.
Anyway, thank you for the comments and replies, people! I'll try to post something daily!

Anatomy=/=realism
-
Well, if you ever get a real grip, don't necessarily drop this abstract design for it. Personally, I can't stand anatomically correct drawings. Perhaps it's because I hate being reminded of real life in art, or because I see that around me enough already, but the abstract is just what I need in my art preference.
-
Why do people think proper anatomy means realism?
You can have good anatomy and still be abstract or cartoonish.
edit: wait zkx said this before
WHY DO I ALWAYS AGREE WITH THIS mother****er.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
-
I don't think it means realism, but it sure as hell reminds me of what's real. The further it is, the better as far as I'm concerned.
-
Well yeah, I know that, but I still want to be able to draw real people, too. Well, people that look remotely real, anyway. Also, I find that when I draw real people, things, etc. from photographs, pictures and all of that...I get a tad bit better every time. I feel like I know shading better, and where shadows should be cast when light hits the object/person, and I also get better at hands, feet, and faces (or basically the things I'm not that good at).
So yeah, I'll practice to improve my anatomy AND my ability to draw more realistic stuff. But don't worry, I'm not gonna throw out my abstract stuff! God no! I love to do stuff in bent and contorted ways. Makes it look all...freaky.
-
That last witch drawing thing reminded me of the only manga I've ever read/liked kinda sorta
Keep up the kickass work dude
It is...inspiring...
-
Here is another one I did recently. It is Nygus (Nieges) from Sou Eater. Looked for a picture on Google and looked at it. I just drew it all with pen without a pencil base. Her arm is abnormally short, and alot of other thigns may be off, though. Still...I like the general look, and it made me smile when I finished it.

-
Yeah, that arm is WAY too short
Her left breast looks squished
Other then that it's awesome
Keep up the good work dude, IMPO your one of the best artists at here
-
Yeah, you're pretty good, I'd say. Same as everyone else was sayin, though. Anatomy... When I draw, I know where I'm going, I just have a hard time getting there. Where you're just the opposite... You know what you're doing just fine, you just don't seem too sure on where you're going.
-
She has thigh muscles from hell, I see.
-
Nah, her pants are just poofy
I think...
-
Thank you, people! I'm going to try and get another one up in about a day or two. I need more practice. =O
Also, her pants are very puffy (though maybe not as puffy as mine =B). This is the original image:

Unnaturally poofy. Is there a wire frame support causing this poofiness? Because it defies gravity and boggles the mind!
-
Unnaturally poofy
Otherwise known as Japanese art, a.k.a. manga/anime/hentai
I swear, it's all like that
-
I've failed to notice, and even more so have I failed to notice poofiness on that level.
-
So you... eyeballed that?
-
I've failed to notice, and even more so have I failed to notice poofiness on that level.
Not necessarily "poofiness"
Just over exaggeration
-
Over exaggeration? Isn't that redundant?
-
Not really
It's exaggerating the exaggeration
It's on par with 20' long swords and hair that is longer then the person itself
-
I agree with the guy who isn't agreeing with Archem...

I agree with the guy who isn't agreeing with Archem...
That is going in my sig, cause I think it's funny
No offense Archem
-
So what're we talking about again? I got lost. Ha ha. I might have something up in the future, but I don't know yet. These days are going to be those of rest and relazation! And...writing! So yeah.
Glad you people are still posting, though. =P
Thanks for the input.
-
Writing?
You talking bout charas?
Or actual writing?
Damn autism has addled my brain
-
Writing what!? My story! Er...well, the one I've recently posted up here. I've been working on it for a while now, and I'm trying to get Chapter 3 done.
And..uh...yeah. Ahem.
So...Mhm
That's about it.
Yup.
-
That is going in my sig, cause I think it's funny

None taken. If everyone agreed with me, my sig would be terribly redundant.
-
I agree.
