Little Beastie
« on: August 12, 2006, 07:22:31 pm »

Hello everyone  :D

I just had the sudden urge to sketch something hehe I hope you like it  :sweatdrop:
I haven’t sketched in quite a while so my proportions and such are a bit odd - I need to practise again!  Any help and suggestions are welcome  :P

A Timeo:  These little creatures are very rarely seen as they are quite shy and extremely nervous, running at the first sight or smell of anything strange or new.

Hey,

It's neat! The ears especially :D I likes. Hmm, if I have to give tips, the backmost rear leg somehow minimally pokes my eye, but that's not so important. I hope it gets coloured. :) Oh, and welcome to the forums.

You're right, Cherppow. It somehow protrudes. Maybe make the leg more closely connected to the bum?
It's really good as a first start, really good, I promise you. Training anatomy of men and animals was something I didn't value when I started and I regret that. Study anatomy! ^_^

Ah, yes. Welcome to the forums :]

Very very nice.

It's really impressive. Damn I wish I could draw  X-/. Oh well, if only my fingers were not so bony.

Yeah but try and color it and maybe add some more pictures of other crazy things too.

Very nice! It is awesome, I will be watching your art. It would be nice to see some color. And perhaps with a little more realistic pose.... This is nice, except the two feet on same sode being off the ground xD Otherwise, really nice!

I can tell just by looking at your style, that you have alot of skill in sketching, more than I do. Please, do more!

The third leg from the left should be brought to the back a little bit more (or a bit shorter), but for the rest: \\o//
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

Thanks for all the great feed back guys!  :D
Its strange how others can usually pick up mistakes so much easier than i can myself - i didn’t even realize i was making the poor thing do a balancing act :P and yes, those back legs need a bit of work.
As for colouring: All my work is done by hand as much of it is either 3D or abstract (This was in fact the first sketch ive scanned and posted like this) so i don’t have any programs to colour it with.  I prefer working in pen or pencil so even if i did have a program to work with i would more than likely end op not colouring it anyway.

Practice is always good and i have been trying to sketch more often but i find that i keep sketching at all the wrong times - this one came out amongst some of my geology notes…  guess im not quite as attentive as i should be early Monday mornings. I thus thought it appropriate to name it Oplettend, meaning attentive, as it seems more so than i was (Excuse the little squiggles on the side – its called Boredom  X-/).  Once again the proportions are far from perfect but i rather enjoyed doodling it so i thought i'd put it up.
