I recently saw 'Dr.Minky's pile O' crap' topic so I thought I might aswell put up some pictures of drawings that I (or my brother, he is better than me... if I can find his) made.
Comments and tips are accepted (costructive criticism)
I might add more pictures afterwards

P.S.: I took those pictures with my Xperia 10 Mini. My new mobile phone with touch screen and a camera. So the images will appear quite small.






Kira (from Death Note)






A random drawing (looks weird, and I used flash with all lights turned off to make it possible to see)






Team Fortress 2 background






From my brother (Looks like it's unfinished.)

Thats quite interesting.. You could experiment by going over the different lines in different thickness of black liner pen, maybe add some (subtle, not super bright felt tip) colours to it

I took GCSE art.. Hated it :c Ill look through it and see if there's anything worth uploading anyway..

The images are very low on resolution so it's hard to see any details
It's hard to give any sort of critism on them as well, since they are either very basic or drawn from a reference.

If you're looking to improve, you should check out the works of Andrew Loomis: http://alexhays.com/loomis/

Uhhh... what does that stand for? Actually, I made my drawings during boring hours of school when the teacher isn't there, or during the break.

I suck at colouring, I always end up choosing colours that can't stay togheter and look horrible mixed up. Though, I've just found a random drawing made by my brother, and he used colours.
And I mostly use a normal pencil, But your tips are interesting and I will definetly try them.

BRB. going in his room to steal the note where he attached the drawing with a sticky tape...

EDIT: Here's the weird drawing.

Nice, I draw figures like this all the time during boring lessons.

GCSE is General Certificate of Secondary Education, basically its the stage before A levels (A levels are before university, I dont know what the equivalents are..)

Another way to improve (on your people drawn) to get proportions right on the people, its one of the most important things! Try googling or looking on YouTube for some tutorials on drawing comic book characters (Its probably the best to get a general idea of the proportions), and then after youve drawn a few characters you get a better understanding of drawing things to scale

Id also recommend just doing some tracing drawings of still images n stuff to get an idea of how stuffs positioned, like faces and shit like that,

I know, but I can't get huge images with a mobile phone

Actually, I think the proportions are roughly OK, maybe the head is a little big, on the Zombie and Freeman picture.

About the TF2 background image, I guess the proportions are pretty 'fucked up'... but I made it about one year ago.

And what do you think about my brother's artwork?

Yeah your brothers artworks really good! Does he just do it as a hobby?

Might wanna get a scanner then, if drawing is your thing.

Yes, that's pretty much a random pastime

Made this just today


Seems I made him a little more fat

[Dr.Minky]

ARE YOU SAYING IM FAT? IM NOT FAT! I'm just... Poofy.

No one has seen my real face.. I am very mysterious,


Anyway, they look good, you should try doing the line thickness on those doodles and see what you can do with them maybe add random twirling bits from it

Also theres a good method to learn how to shade textures well that you should give a go and upload. Print off a picture and split it up into squares (put a 1.5 cm grid on it or something) and then do the same lightly on a piece of paper, then you take it ONE BOX at a time and copy it as much as you can. Its important to do it bit by bit cause otherwise you start to assume the shape of it and the textures go wrong and blah blah,

oh oh oh and, if you're copying an image like that, try copying the image upside down, and youll find it actually looks better a lot of the time (specially when doing faces) because your brain kind of, assumes, shapes it knows like the body and the face, so when you turn it upside down your brain doesn't recognize it so you're actually copying whats there and not what you think is there ;v

SCIENCE!

Its not something you want to do forever of course, but it helps you learn

Did I already tell you half of them is awfull, no ?
Oh well ........

[EmRA]

When drawing from reference, it's much like when writing something down from the board at school.
Don't just copy the lines, think of what you're doing. Is this part a wrinkle, upper lip, shoelace, vein, etc.
