Narures Junk

[Narure]

Ok i pretty much and drew something and realised i had weirdly improved since the last time i drew ages ago. I was trying to be origanal but the end one just ended up looking like a dragon even though it wasnt what i was aiming for.

woah real great stuff narure hope to see more from you

[dying_inside]

The second picture is really nice 

[Baldur]

I like it, though not my style but it's nice

[Narure]

Thanks.  I was expecting a bit more critiscism... Which i would also like some so i know how to improve. And i lost my only rubber!!! 

To put it bluntly its a furry dinosuar:



Limbs are my sworn enemy

[Peacer]

i think that the head needs a bit more detail... the arms are missing some elbows and muscles and the legs is missing some detail in muscles and all thoose limbs parts as you said

Else main structure is good

[dying_inside]

You need to research a little on structure and such.  I'm learning myself that Animals and Humanoids are tottaly different to draw.
I think animals are kinda harder somtimes.

I like your work i can see you have some good ideas.

It is really worth studying anatomy!  Knowing your anatomy makes things a lot easier so find yourself a nice book and do a little bit of reading.   

Also note that shading is very important as it gives your picture shape and dimension.  Take a look at the following two links for a basic summary of shading:

Hope that helps. 

@dying_inside: I actually find people harder than animals.  I think this is mostly because animals are streamlined and anatomically make sense where as people are… bulky and very clumsy  and that’s how I feel when I draw them too!

[Baldur]

I second what Kiraki said.

Nothing is more difficult then to draw a humanoid, where an animal would take one hour humanoids can take days. I think it lies in our efforts to make it look like ourselves. I've heard that selfportraits are among the hardest to draw.

[dying_inside]

Hahaha, I could never draw a self portriat.
I think I find animals harder to draw  because I have only really just started to explore them, where as I have been drawing humanoids for years. Granted that its only over the past year or so that I have really developed and come a long way. But I havnt had the same experiance with drawing animals like that.

A couple trying out with pastels:





And the bug that Narure uses to comunicate with people



So how are these? A step forward, backwards or just same old?

[Datruth]

That last picture is awesome, very good.

I don't see any flaws in it, but again i'm not a professional artist.

I'd say you're getting better.

Good work with the tiger 

[dying_inside]

They are nice....
I cant give much advice myself because I dont really know animal anatomy, or at least how to draw it.
As for butterfly's i dont know  what butterflies are supposed to be drawn like either...

But so far I think they are nice.

Just a scrap of paper with an idea on it more than a drawing:
