I got bored and I started to draw. 


(Note:This Photo is Subjected to change)
This is my first time drawing muscle on a character and I would appreciate your criticism so........  Don't be afraid to insult my work  

Image not showing, buddy.
Here's some help if you need it:
Usually you have to copy the image URL/link which
ends in something like .jpg or .png or .gif or similar image formats.

E.g.

[ img ] https://2img.net/u/3214/11/50/58/smiles/3147896512.gif [ / img ]

(but with no spaces.)

To get the direct link (like the one above) of your image,
you can right click it, click copy image location (in FireFox).
You could also reupload to an image hosting site. (Making an account on some sites
would enable you to delete the image if you change your mind on keeping it online.)

Hope that helps.

Has it changed

Not bad, Slim.
The pencil line work looks scruffy, maybe it's the photo quality.  
The abdominal muscles should be a little shorter (thus pectoral muscles should extend a little bit lower)
and perhaps with some abdominal muscles to the side of the torso.
(Look at a reference to get what I mean.)

The curving you use in your shapes for the arms, etc. are pretty good
and make it a little more realistic. (I sometimes draw too blocky.)
The proportions with the thighs and legs should be adjusted slightly but
the neck and head were drawn quite well. It looks as if the character is facing
at an angle rather than straight at the 'camera'/viewer.

Technically speaking, you can get away with how you drew the chest muscles
but I'm just giving constructive criticism based on how it looks to me.
To some it's perfect and to some it's different to how they would have drawn it.

E.g. look at this drawing I drew: (it's not necessarily the 'right' way to draw it, it's just
my way of doing it. But you can modify your way if necessary to improve.
But note I drew devil/demon X with a shirt in this one so the muscles are less defined.
And sometimes I represent X as muscular with a thin layer of fat to make him
look bulky and less 'clean cut' in the muscle definition department. Depends on the look I'm trying to achieve.)

Slim, your drawing doesn't look finished but I can tell you have a lot of potential.  
Do you draw often?
I think with some references and/or tutorials or just some practice,
Slim could become one of the titan artists here.

Reminds me of the Thing.

Okay i actually love the "titan artist" phrase xD it's so epic   


And slim!!! This is awesome!!!

Waaaay better than my first attempt at muscles >.>


I actually think this is really awesome,
And the sketchy way you do your lines is really cool too

pretty much i would just say to adjust the way the legs are,
But besides that i actually think it's super awesome ^.^

Thanks for the criticism. I will take you advice into account  I'm already making changes. I even got my older brother to peer review my work

Thank you and i will change it

Now you're just not being fair

Slim's peer reviewing?    


(*Whispers*)


  Titan material...  


EDIT: huge improvement with the legs and shading.   Nice work, Slim.

 What does that mean

Dang... i need to get krakin.....       

Get it?
Titan material?
Get crackin'?

Tehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe        


@slim,
X refers to the main artists here as "titan artists"
And he's saying that you're becoming a titan artist
basically you just need to draw more and then we can all admire your masterpieces

I like it, muy macho

Here is a quick sketch on a 360 view of a character design I did in 20 minutes 

Here is the finished design 
(Note: I suck at drawing hands and feet)
 
I am unhappy about the face..... I NEED TO INPROVE

Noice slim.

I'm gonna start practicing so I can show you guys my "master pieces".

My style is cartoon...-ish

So is mine, but I'm not complaining.

Yeah. I'm not complaining either.    

 SLIM?!
UH WOW.

Never thought I'd see you again.


Glad to see you taking an interest in drawing! It looks really nice.

If you have a genuine interest in art, I want to let you know that you WILL improve here no matter what. Everyone who has drawn and uploaded here has. Grumpy is our Most improved person. Oliver follows right behind him.

I say this based off of the art that they FIRST uploaded on here compared to their latest piece.

Their art is radically different from what they used to upload. Yours will too in time..........so long as that's something that you're into.

Meanwhile Glory and Undelos haven't really visibly improved as they don't really need to.

Not really, no. Last week, yeah! But that's not Xtreme-related.

To all you fallen cookies...
no playin' in the streets.





Crackle.



Phew.... 'Twas just a dream.
The End.

 

 Oh Glory.

I didnt mention you because you came here with already good stuff.

Looking at your drawings I could tell you knew what you were doing as far as poses, basic anatomy and just general skill.

You've improved since you've gotten here. Its not a complete 180^○ like Grumpz or OZw but that doesnt mean its a bad thing.

It just means you came in here already with some skill.





Here, check this out.

This is Oli's stuff from 2 years ago:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

And now, after 2 years, he's putting more detail in his work, has a good grasp on how to use a photo editing/manipulation program, and is getting more confident in his skills:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Now, this is where I would then show Grumpy's before and after stuff.............but as  curteousy to a fellow artist who ALSO hates seeing embarrasingly old stuff, I will leave it to his discretion on whether he wants to show you.

But he has madly improved. like superseriously improved.   

Maybe you can ask him nicely and he'll show you.   


Even X has improved alot too even though I bet he feels he hasnt.
I mean, Look at that art review:




Look at that January. You've always had it.
Im just super happy for those that made a complete turn around in their drawing ability.

Undelos, did you really have to use that comic page as the 3rd example of my improvement? I still cringe whenever I see that one. Still love how my Paradox one came out, though.

looks nice slim, just try to fix the leg, its kinda slender but other than that you would slowly improve on by practice  

The Legend Continues


me and Ven hang out every day now, just teaming up in LOL or talking about all other kinds of stuff, like league.

dat january tho...
My best piece of work   
Same with december xP


Oh man xD i should really show you guys some of my older stuff...
I love looking at my old stuff because it's hilarious xD
And i know that i was proud of it at one point...
I did go through a phase where i redrew every "cute anime couple" picture on youtube...
No joke   

I mean, in reality, i've only been here for a year...
So i haven't had as much time,
Plus it's hard because my style is different..
It's not like soooo cartoony or all anime-y so it's hard to compare it to things   

Thank you though   




Oh man, speaking of drawing,
I haven't been doing much lately,
Sorry guys...

Anyone have any ideas?

- I feel as though I've never seen those comics Oliver made, except maybe
the first one. (Even though I was shocked with the likeness of Undelos that Oliver captured lol.
Like seeing your FF character on TV.  )
The newer comics....I must have missed them. They all look awesome, Oliver!

And I don't think I've improved much. Little practice goes a short way.
