ArtMo 2010

Thank you x] It was difficult, and it involved many ripped up pieces of scratch paper in which I messed up xD..
 
Those are great, Sky! I like the dog the most, like Foamy, but those others are great, too! I don't see anything wrong with the snake, actually. I like it a lot. But on the winged lion, where exactly is the is the wing connecting to the shoulder? Because where I think it's connecting, it kind of looks like a weird bump. But otherwise it's really good.

Also, on my progress, urgh why do I get something that could be construed as a social life (for me) at the worst times

On Thursday I got my sketch of it done, but I went out with my friends that night and I haven't thought of anything to draw since. I'll be doing other things later, including spending all day on Sunday next week working on a project and that reminds me I have two other things to do as well. Also, despite the fact that I have nothing to do right now, I can't think of anything to draw and all I feel like is stalking the forums and refreshing pages. Urgh.
 
My lion's legs are too short, where the mane connects to the body makes it appear to be neck-less, and I failed at attaching the wing to the body with anything except for a hideous lump xD...Oh well, I'm gonna try and draw a replacement for that pic ^^

Why don't you draw animals or pokemon like me :D? Or...people's pokesonas/characters/whatevers?
 
All of you are such good drawers! I dunno yet if I'll join, I'm a tad slow for good quality art.

-newbie question- What's a redline?

It where someone draws over a picture (usually in red, hence the name) to show the mistakes. for example, here is a redline that someone did for one of my pictures, since I have trouble with ears, apparently x3

Oh okay. Can you please redline my winged lion :3? I'd really appreciate it ^^

Can do.

I've never drawn lions before, really, but I took a quick look over a few photos of the animals, and used my knowledge from drawing cougars and smaller cats.

Here is the overlay, and just the lines. I had to redraw the whole head, since he really lacked a neck, but otherwise you weren't too far off; I can see potential here. Here's what I changed:

-Added neck/made head smaller (the blue lines show what's under the mane). Lions have a very distinct facial shape, which I found a bit tricky (took me a few tries), so just practice a bit and you should get it.
-Added definition to the body, showing where the ribcage and belly are.
-the legs join the body a more forward
-You had the wings sort of upside-down, which I did a lot when I was starting out. If you have pet birds, take a good look at their wings when they're preening/asleep/flying, which can help. If not, google or going birdwatching can help too.

Overall, though, you have potential, and practice will draw it out pretty well I think c:
 
Thank you so much! -I probably should have looked up some references before drawing it, huh? xP- That really helps ^^ I see what I should fix for next time :3
 
Got them, finally!
> u<;;

First one is actually a doodle that's been sitting in my folders for a while, waiting to be completed.
I don't think I'm ever going to colour it now.
Second one was done ten minutes ago.
