PIPE

I wouldn't have thought a pipe could fit a dinosaur (it is now a dinosaur) that well for the life of me. But it does. It looks like it belongs there. The eyebrows not being in the original is an oversight on my part, but that pipe? Goddamn. Now it just needs a top hat and a monocle!

...

i'll add that later

First, gonna try fixing those things Mackerel mentioned, because my brain is already set to dinosaur mode.

@Adriaan: Hot damn, them's some nice hands! Once thing though, the pinky on the first seems a bit on the skinny side, even for a pinky. I mean, my pinky fingers are thicker than that, and i don't exactly have massive wrestler fists. Rest is great though!

edit: ok here's an attempt at least

Thanks! You're right, it's way too slim. Didn't catch that before uploading, oh well

One more before bed

The middle finger looks a tad thin and the ring finger's first vertex looks a bit too acute of an angle. Notice how I used "tad" and "bit" because that hand is goddamn sexy.

ITT everyone posts a modified version of Shook's dinosaursnake

Or a cup of ice.

Looks pretty neat man.

Today I colored and shaded a sketch I made like.... a week ago.


Sword hilt's a little botched due to a mistake in the linework that I hastily fixed, but I feel like it came out ok overall.

Thanks! I know what you mean, try to do that gesture though. It's hard to line up your middle finger with your index, without pulling your ring finger into an extreme angle like that (for me at least). Agree that it looks odd on first sight though.

Studies for today, ♥♥♥♥ up my tablet or pen sensitivity somehow (maybe I've dropped the pen one too many times) right when I was about done with the linework, so I didn't get to shading. Hope I can figure out the problem tomorrow...

Depending on brand unplugging and replugging it repeatedly should work fine.

Here, I actually tried to draw a thing. I will explain what it is if I ever decide to color it.





I'm still depressed with my drawing level

Colouring is not bad at all, just work a bit more on the shading/lighting I think

Finished yesterday's, pen is working again (opened it up, tightened the pressure thingies in which the nibs sit)


Shading on the bottom one was hard, not quite happy with it. Ref had light coming outward from the camera, so not a lot of shadow area.

comrade shook play nitpicky critic to artist who is several orders of magnitude above himself

First hand seems rather fat (could be that the reference hand IS fat, hell if i know), what with those skin rolls near the thumb and highly pronounced folds on the palm. The pose and shading are both magnificent, though!

The only thing i can spot about the second one is that the thumb looks a bit odd, as if that joint line on the middle is missing. It also narrows at the middle, whereas even my skinny thumbs are thickest at the middle. Also, the index finger is missing that joint line near the top, but that's a minor detail. The rest is absolutely stellar, i envy your hand drawing skills. :c


the hell you say

You ain't got nothing to be depressed about, broholmes! The lighting effects are good, the concept's rad and... Well, i like that rough style. Add a bit more (sun)light to the mix, and you're good to go! (captain optimism is what they called me, but i am not sugarcoating it, i really do like it)
And, of course, there's nothing that can't be improved with more practice. I mean, if i can improve (a bit), then so can anyone else, because i'm a ridiculously slow learner when it comes to art. It feels like that, anyways.

Did this one a while ago. One of my prized accomplishments.

It's called Dolphin Blue.
