The Artist Army

[DoctorDraca]

I have been getting a lot of requests to do a hair tutorial as well as a facial expressions tutorial. (From another site I am a part of) would you guys think it's okay to post it here for you? I would have to get them scanned in when I get the time and edit them together.

What would you think?

Tutorials are always welcomed, especially if they're made by members of the Army.
So, go ahead. I'd love to see a tutorial from you.

Sorry, I'm running on a time limit, can't talk to everyone.
@Susiron -- Thanks so much! <33 Both of those helped, along with your tip. c:

pretty legit. feels kinda disney, I like it. wish you did a full body but under the circumstance I understand.
is that a full hat or just a headband?

agreed, I thought it had a disney feel to it as well, but at the same time still fresh and unique c: I love your style, catastrophic_blend! <3 a human tutorial would also be fantastic, cause I'm terrible at humans hahaha;; |D

I'd love some critique/help with this one D:

please don't be afraid to be brutal! <3 I think the bending paw looks especially awkward to me, so I'd love help on that,
and idk just the paws in general. I have trouble with those :c

Even if you're not confident on tigers, I'd still love your input! I feel like her design is a bit empty, like it's missing something.
I thought the antlers would solve that but now her backside looks very plain in comparison...any ideas would be greatly appreciated <3 c:

@Stonefly- I love that dog! It's so cute c:
@catastrophic_blend- That's amazing! How did you do that?

I fixed the anatomy up a bit. Could anyone please tell me if I got it correct? Thanks!

catastrophic_blend: I love the detail and the rare spark of color in that sketch! The ear looks a bit small, and perhaps a bit too high though.Maybe make it a little larger, to accommodate the fact that she is not a human? The nose also looks a bit rounded and long. Maybe make it a little smaller and sharper at the tip.

azalea: OvO I really, really love that tiger you be sketching thar..... Anyways, I think the head is probably a bit too small for the paws. Maybe make the paws smaller, or the head a bit larger? Also, the tail seems a bit short. Maybe make it an inch or two longer? Otherwise, that is one hell of a drawing. Well done.

I would love if I could get some critique, comments, and suggestions on this picture I recently drew.
Also, if anyone is willing to critique the writing as well, that would be lovely.

Catastrophic- that looks really good for traditional. I wish my people were that good but im horrible at them. Especially guys. If its still not finished, it looks like a sketch still, I would love to see it finished. : )

Shiko- that dragon looks really good. In my own opinion you should've left the bottom right corner the color of the dragon as it looks like the neck thinned there. It still looks really good though. Ill go read your text in a moment.

Kat- the only thing I can say on yours is make the "thighs" a bit bigger and it'll look even better.

Azalea- that looks really amazing. Id say bend the paw a bit more, almost cupping but not quite. Also, the very back leg looks a bit off though not by alot.

Alexander- that looks really good. I wish I had your graphic skills.

Ok. I don't need anatomy stuff for this piece, I just want some critique on what you guys think before I color it in. I designed it myself from my own head and she will be my new character, Saamura.

Don't forget to comment on other people's art, as well.

First off, let me say that this is an extremely beautiful picture. I've never been able to draw cats very well without making them look too much like dogs, but you did a wonderful job. ^^ Now on to critique...I will tell you, I'm not really an expert on any animal's anatomy, so don't take anything I'm about to say 100% because I'm sure some of it will be a little off; I am just going off of my own observations of tigers in zoos and also my house cats.

I think that the head is a little too big compared to the rest of the body. I would suggest making it smaller, and also making the legs thinner because they seem a bit, for lack of a better word, awkward. I also think that you might want to make the legs longer as well, especially the hind legs. I believe a tiger is a little more slender than how it looks here, so maybe you could also tuck the belly in some more. I'm not very good with paws either, but I would suggest that on the bent one, you could curl the toes (almost like a cupped hand) instead of making the line straight across. The other paws, however, are very nicely done. I can't see anything really wrong with them the way they are now. One last thing, the proportions of the hind legs look a little off, and the extended back leg is too high compared to the other three legs. I recommend drawing a line for the ground so that you can easily position all the legs along a straight surface.

Overall, though, it's truly a beautiful piece. Doesn't seem empty at all to me. I envy your drawing skills, you have no idea. XD
