Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

I'm gonna agree with Kratos and add that the best way to improve on anatomy is, as annoying as it sounds, to reference photos. Yep. Photos and photos of skeletons. If you want to draw a human, reference a photo of a human, or of a human skeleton, or both. There really, really, really is no... -

:| Knowledge of anatomy isn't part of one's style. That's like saying knowledge of grammar is part of your writing style. -
Obsessive Scribblers
I think online artists tend to overemphasize the importance of style. Really, seriously, it isn't what you think it is. Professional artists work years at developing their styles, and often have multiple styles which they use at different times for different reasons, or work on new ones because... -

Yesss I wasn't really expecting much on the llama, just on Chris |D I mostly know what I'm doing with the quadrupeds ahaha. But a redline from you would be greeaaatly appreciated! -

OKAY. I post here now. I'm posting here because I'm seriously begging you guys to crit/redline this. Uhm I just want it to be as good as I can possibly make it. The guy is meant to be Chris Colfer. I tried to uh, portray him as well as I could. :[ Halp. -

Hrhrhr your compliments are the best. :D makes me want to post here more and get more egoboosts. -
Obsessive Scribblers
Yeah, it's rather quick work for me, not overly detailed or anything so I didn't spend too much time on it. :V -

Meme version and full size. And I know exactly how long it took! I listened to the entire Legally Blonde soundtrack which means it took exactly 1 hour and 14 minutes. -

Is there a reference for Kat? And just so Saith doesn't have to go looking, here is Pentimento. Affably evil fits it oddly well. -
Obsessive Scribblers
Hrr, I think Black Comedy works for me. Or at least I can't think of a trope that works better. -

Yeeep. Try using a blue-er shade, though, as an experiment, for shading, and something yellow-ish for lighting. Something like this. -
Obsessive Scribblers
Tbh dodge+burn is bad for multiple reasons. You have no control over the shading at all; how strong it is, which is what results in the blobby-quality, or the colours, which is why you shade at all. Just making it darker isn't really... the point. The point is colours. Dodge+burn just makes it... -

Of course I know you. You're the Byrus. I drew something for you once. ... can't remember what exactly. -

For tradiotional or digital media? Traditional, go with prisma colours, but they're expensive. Regular coloured pencils work for me, but I don't colour traditionally much. For digital, corel painter is great, as is photoshop. Also yeah, I'm Whivit. <<; I went uh, elsewhere on internet. -
Obsessive Scribblers
Hrm, well I guess I'll post my 'sonas... Whivit is my main sona, she can be drawn anthro as well. Anthony isn't so much a fursona... a representative character...? Sort of a muse. It's hard to explain. :v But I don't really consider Whivit to be a fursona anymore anyhow, so they both represent... -
Obsessive Scribblers
Oh, well, I've got several references for my representative characters, so no problems there. They don't have to be personas, do they? Persons being the key word? -
Obsessive Scribblers
OS awards? Personas? ... Whu? Also, when does ArtMo start? -
Obsessive Scribblers
It's actually a trench coat, not a lab coat, lulz. Lab coats are white, no? Anyhow, yes, we all sucked long ago. :v I refuse to post any old art (and not just because I am at my sisters and don't have access to it). :D -
Obsessive Scribblers
@ Kai, I'm glad you liked my crit, so here's one for you. xD I'm admittedly not great with humans / clothes, but the most important thing is always to reference. So. Use reference. :D -
Obsessive Scribblers
No problem :D I'd love to do a proper-crit-thing. Ranting is fun. Ranting about anatomy and art and such. Especially when you're low on sleep and bored and yes, it's fun to do... hrr.
