Been practicinig for a while,it took some time, tried some new things as to put some textures mixed with materials and lighting and shadows in the character, tips,advices,critiques are all welcome!.tried to imagine the 3D forms, and in the anatomy had to separete the muscle parts, think it got ok....but theres space for more improvement!

I would say that the head is a bit off proportions even if it is in "anime" style but great work nonetheless. If you're new to digital I would suggest to practice drawing without zooming in your canvas and treat it as a physical paper so you always see everything rather than focusing on every detail. only zoom in when you want to render details which I've learned the hard way and its really hard to unlearn when you do it for a long time. Always use reference, always squint, and keep on drawing!

Patrick Thanks! you were right! i had to zoom a lot of times, when i was drawing i focused more on the parts that i didnt feel comfortable ,i will keep what you said in mind.Yeah that one i just used reference for the face, i will keep going and thanks a lot man!

Hey Pedro, I like your archer character. I think though it's suffering from being stiff. I did some drawings to show you how you can add more gesture to your poses. It's important to build our characters on top of a good flowing gesture so that they dont look stiff. I hope this helps, keep drawing :)

Nice work! I think the gesture and flow in this character is a bit stiff. The anatomy I think is mostly there although some parts sit a bit oddly to me. I think the collar bones are a bit too low and the way the breasts connect to the armpit is too high. I might suggest watching the Proko lesson on how to draw breasts. I think you might suffer from the same problem as me when I draw things on angles that aren't straight on - I tend to straighten the object. For your base, I might actually suggest drawing the nipples on to remind you which way the chest is pointing. The breast on her left hand side looks like it's rotated forward where I think it should be more angled to face her right. Her left leg also looks a little off to me - I think it might be something about the knee but I''m not 100% sure. I would probably suggest posing in a mirror to try check it. A fair chunk of these flaws are covered when you add clothing, especially the full black outfit. I hope you find this critique useful - feel free to ignore it if not.

Charlene , thanks a lot! i was lookin for critiques, its how we improve! you had a different view of my drawing, its hard to find the mistakes and correct them alone, it takes a while mostly.I will train more breasts, i have a very difficult time with body angles too, the knee i really didnt do properly,i wanted to draw as soon as i could, i didnt have a pose reference.but again thanks a lot!
