    Like I told you in VM's, I love your art.
    Its just so great, and you have your own unique drawing style, that I like.
    Keep up the good work, thats all I have to say.

    Very unique drawings!

    What tends to bother me is how they always seem to be in the same stance. I'm not sure if you prefer it that way or if its just random.

    But otherwise, this is true potential. You make the colours flow easily and you seem to have quite a knowledge of a variety of styles.

    Try using more varied colours in your digital stuff, rather than just adjusting the value scale and making colours darker. Right now, the colours are a bit unrealistic; they are much too saturated, with no presence of the duller colours that come with shadows. This works in some of the works that have that cartoony, bright style (Baby lion w/ pokeplushies), but on your more realistic lion and tiger pictures, it falls short.

    Your traditionals are better; but I would suggest that you keep looking at and drawing different textures in order to get a more realistic look.

    They're good. Keep drawing. :D

    • I can see you really like drawing big cats/ dogs/ animals realistically.. But I can't stress enough that in order to make them realistically BELIEVEABLE you need to reference. You're on the right track and your drawing is impressive but you need to pay more attention to proportion and forshortening.

    I hope you don't mind that I gave you a critique:
    Remember that even with running poses that your character needs to have BALANCE study how a real animal moves and then try tackling this piece again!

    Actually I'm rather glad you critiqued me. I don't really have the resources at my own house to study these things.... and I'm too spacey when I'm around them. I could study my own cats but that doesn't seem like enough.

    Thanks for the redline too. It's really gonna help.

    Life is always best, but it's not bad to look at pictures once in a while too! OR video. People forget to practice their memory-drawing too. Try looking at videos of tigers/ big cats and try drawing from your imagination but also using some of the information you see online.. cause when something's moving, you get to see it in 3D space and understand it better.

    Just give it a shot. You have the potential. Keep drawing! Your stuff is already great but you want to take it to the next level so just keep drawing and you'll get it!

    Good luck!


    Also make it a point to differentiate your animals. A cheetah looks very different from a panther for example. Try to analyze it and see if you can spot the differences in face SHAPE (not colour, etc) but just silhouette or profile of the animal. It'll help. (even I have a tough time too and I've been doing it for a while!)

    Just keep going with it but never forget about structure!

    • Hey I've noticed some big improvement!

    I was just curious.. what sort of program are you using to paint your stuff? It might be hindering you a little bit with your technique.. so I was curious and wanted to give some tips with painting for you!
