art/suggestion thread (beginner)

[thokeca]

Hi there! I'm sort of new to this forum, and I haven't been to active, but I decided to go out on a limb today and ask for some drawing requests.

My art is pretty mediocre in terms of what I can and can't do and I likely won't be able to draw more than one full bodied colored drawing per day due to just how I roll. Here's some examples based on what I'm used to.


This is Lukas. You can tell I don't know how to draw clothing folds, hair, or poorly made leather pants.


This is a different character of mine that is in no way related to this forum at all, but he's an example of my work with no shading.

As you can tell, I make really big canvases and draw in like 50% of it, and I mostly draw 3/4 looking to the same side. Not entirely on purpose, but it happens, I guess.

I want to get some practice in drawing characters of all kinds instead of just the "vaguely muscular tall man with average looks looking 3/4 to the right with a neutral expression" that I'm used to and have both my presented drawings of. I also want to get in some more angles and such.

I also welcome criticism. I know there's stuff off about my art so if you have any suggestions in terms of what I should practice, let me know.

Nice art! If you want and would like, I'd love to have a sketch of Kublai?

It's a short fat Dwarf, might be fun to practice on if you are looking for something different.

this has been a life saver for me for body proportions

And done! I drew him having a nice frothy drink and winking playfully at some passerby, using the shirtless outfit from his skin, despite probably most taverns requesting he would wear a shirt. the drawing of Lukas was done separately from Kublai, which is why he's so much smaller despite being around two feet taller. This was good practice for drawing wrinkles, beards, and braids! I never do those, honestly.

Thank you for this! It'll definitely be useful in the long run, especially because I tend to make heads too big.

me too. it's always nice for digital art as you can resize sketch stuff before moving on further.
