Well, you really need to work on the head and body proportions. Just keep on practicing and you'll get really good.

Yeah, I noticed some of them had really bad proportions. Particularly Raikou...
Thank you for commenting, though. ^_^

^^ I like it. The colors came out cool.

So you know, on the left is Aurlia (from EotE) and on the right is Kraken (non-anthro; from WoC)...

The Compromise
It's quite good, cdra! I like the drawings. It's better to insert the text instead of writing it yourself, though. You can draw a lot better than me, my last attempt at drawing a horse on paint left me with a really weird demented horse thingy. I especially like the pictures in the banner in your siggy.
If you don't mind, I would be delighted to create a nice snazzy banner for you with those images, as a little thank you for being a nice friend. :)

^^ Thanks Katie. I like to write the text because you can customize... besides, Corel wasn't being nice about text boxes. <<

You can make a banner if you like! ^^ Thanks!

BTW: Paint is EVIL.

well you need to work on the eyes. i have now relised that to make it look like the pokemon the eyes are an importnt part. I'l look forward to seeing mor eof your art to see what you've done with the eyes. BTW The Suicune looks like the real one
 
I see good develope here : ) Nice set of work ; ) Keep it up.

mutten said to try working on the eyes. The best way to do so is to look at a Pokemon Art book (If that's the style you want to have) or other pieces of work, then just draw and look back at the art and see. Eventually you'll get the hang of it ; )

Anyway, thanks for commenting, both of you. My Pokémon eyes turn out really odd unless I use my own kind. >< I will try, though.

Oh you're one to watch already seeing how you're able to take critism and try to keep getting beter rather than say youre perfect as is. That made me happy ya =) With the poportions and shaping, have you tried drawing the basic shapes of what youre drawing then making a outline? I never used to draw the basic shapes, just went straight to line art, the shapes make it so much easier to draw with correct porpotions now. And dont worry about the eyes too much, it takes time to find a good style that looks right. I really like the computer pictures btw.

Thank you, I'll try that. These are a tad old, but I'll scan some new ones and try what you said. ^^

And I do take crits, I guess it's just a pet peeve of mine to see people who don't. It's also a pet peeve of mine to be or see a hypocrit, so...

Hmm, you have some very interesting designs! I just wish those first pics had been on blank paper instead of lines, the lines are a little distracting. ^^; But, I've been known to sketch on lined paper as well...

Still, keep practicing. Your art is quite cute.

Thanks!

Lines bother me too, but these were done in class. Mostly in English and Algebra. >_<; I didn't have the luxury of unlined paper.

Yay for random Corel piccys.

The lineart is really sloppy, and the pose is whacky... I know I needed to touch up, but feh. C+C.

Uh, yeah. Nice people. :/

Ink+boredom+me=INSANITY.

Faux-ink means I penciled it then inked it. Oh well.

Arthium -Faux ink
Some hydra thing -True ink
Dragonair Hydra -True ink
Gryphon -True ink

(Arthium's eye's half closed, leave me alone. I don't like this scanner. And I'm not doing a full-body pic now, too much trouble... I know, I'm lazy. Oh well. C+C)

BTW: Inking is hard. >< More ink and faux-ink stuff soon. And more computer stuff, because I can host it on the weekdays and don't have to wait so long.

Okay, time for some comments.

1) Arthium was good. Very good.
2) I like the ideas behind some. I emphasise ideas unforntunatly though.
3) You really need to work on tails. They change width constantly as you go along.
4) You're weakness is Pokemon. If you're really stuck, buy the FR/LG stratergy guide, it has the Sugimori art for the first 251 Pokemon, so can help you with proportions and details.
5) XD001 looks like a mildly annoyed normal Lugia. The main problem was you didn't change the head ornament, XD001's are far more sinister and blade like the Lugia's.

But yeah, you hand draw much better than I did just over half a year ago, keep practising, as you have, and you'll improve greatly. All I can say is if you're stuck with proportions, get reference material of what you want to draw and then practise drawing shown poses, like Sugimori art for Pokemon. It helps a lot. I improved my anime style art in about two months by doing that.

And frankly your computer art is better than anythng I could hope to do.

Did I mention that Arthium was good?

Thank you. :3 I like comments and crits. And tails are pretty hard, so I'll work on that.

I see now that you're right about the XD. It is a bit silly.

Pokémon are really hard sometimes, because at school you can't really get any good references. When I can, though, I try to look up some images and keep them as fresh on my mind as I can. I'll keep working on them. ^^

I'm glad you like Arthium. He's fun to draw, as long as you don't try full-body pics.

EDIT: Kraken Sheet -Faux ink

Kraken's gone all Amazon. Evil scanner.

Aurlia running -true ink

Funful. Don't give my highlighters and ink when I'm bored. Again, evil scanner.

(posting again because it wasn't showing up. Weirdness)
