@Meowool: the first one, it's hard to tell what the Cat is doing. Like I can't follow it. Maybe adding some more lines around his tummy area to show the way in which he is twisted Would help. Also, Maybe adding the other front paw?
Other than that, it looks great. Also, really like the second one. :)

This is a painting I just finished. It's on a three foot tall canvas. Any critique is welcome as I myself, am still picking out tiny things I need to fix. I haven't sealed it yet, so any fixes that need to be made can still be done.

Thanks for the critique, it's doing a head stand... If that makes sense. The other paw is mostly hidden by the the rest of the body, I also thought that I had done it too much in one plane... So he looks a bit 2-d ish!! (I normally don't do poses like this, it's normally just simple sitting & standing stuff!)

I can't think of much to do...maybe where the two turrets overlap on the right side, add a bit darker shadow, as it doesn't seem to be away to tell wheres one turret or the other! :)

@Catastrophic Blend

Hmm, one thing that kinda stands out to me is that there are a lot of things that aren't casting shadows, even though it feels like they should be! Like, each tower is shaded like it's floating independent of the others. It looks like the light source is toward the viewer, so the towers in the front should cast shadow onto whatever is behind them, and Maleficent's tail should as well.

A more minor note; the pose is a little weird, it looks kind of like her tail is coming from where her shoulder would be?

Any tips/redline for this? I am still not great with hind legs and haven't really drawn in a while.

This is the char I am drawing, he belongs to TwilyghtPanda: http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/twily ... sort=3&o=0

-----------

Catastrophic Blend - Looks really great! I agree with Amymist about the shading, I think adding some more shadows will make it look a lot more 3D and really pop. I'm not sure if it was mentioned before, but the other wing would probably be showing at that angle, not sure if you wanted to add that in? I'd also suggest adding some shadows inside the dragon's mouth at the back, it would likely be rather dark there. Overall it looks really neat though! Brilliant.

Meowool - with the 2nd one, the tummy looks a bit thin. It looks pretty nice though =^.^=

    ack i haven't posted here in forever
    @Catastrophic Blend
    i agree with the people above me that there should be more shadows to add a sense of dimension to the painting, but i think the painting is quite interesting, and it's a very unique style

    i've been doing a lot of pixel things lately
    Image
    Image
    i'm mostly looking for how to improve doing gradients on these?
    i do these in ms paint
    i used a free to use base i found a while back, but i haven't noted the source, if someone knows could they please tell me? ;v;
    i lost it when my computer crashed a few months back and my friends resent me the base files uvu

    I also started a concept a while back too
    Image
    i'm not really looking for critiquing on the anatomy, since this is old, but more on how to draw plants?
    i can't really draw them that well

I just think the back leg needs a bit more curve to it [Around the bottom] It looks rather straight to me

maybe something like this? I'd also suggest repositioning the hidden front leg, for a more solid pose? really cute, I love your take on the face! n.n

Aaaah thank you Sketch that's wonderful ;u;
You're the best!

Rune that's very bright and colourful c:
For the face, I'd suggest moving the nose a touch to the right since you have drawn it facing right. If you want to keep it more centered, perhaps try a smaller style nose like one of these? For the eyes, the left one (her right) is fine but the other one is drawn as though she is side view looking left instead of mostly front view. The lashes are on the wrong side, and I think that's the "something off" you are looking for. If you switch them around I think it'll look great!

    @Solloby: I really like the tail and the fur on top of its head c:
    however, to me it seems like the right hind leg is a liiiiittle bit too straight, it doesn't look quite right.
    I really like your style of drawing, it's very cute!

    @rune.: She is very cute! I'd suggest that you fix the right arm a little bit, it looks like it's too thin up towards the shoulder.
    Tho I'm not really good at human anatomy or human drawings, so I can't really help you with anything more, but I agree with everything Solloby pointed out before me.
    I really like the dress and her pose, she is so adorable c:

    Okay, so this is my first post here. I haven't really drawn anything in quite a while, but I found some black paper and a white pencil, so I ended up doodling some stuff cx This is a quick sketch of my character, Orion.
