Post your sketches here!

I think all it really needs is a pipe and a tophat. The pipe would be full of angry smoke of course.

Darnit, I took another picture of Cubey for size referencing, but I have to re-install the software to transfer pictures over.

I also took a picture of a doodle I made depicting the big bad ugly from Cloverfield. If I post him here I'll make sure to spoiler the toony bastard. Compared to the actual thing, mine looks almost cute...

The eyelid lines could be a little shorter, but I am liking the contour shading. He does look mad.

For what it's worth, here's what my picture looks like an as actual scan:



I'm planning to ink and color it within the next week or so. I want to do variations, so I need to get supplies when the first-week rush dies off here.

You may want to give him a dude's ass then, cause that backline doesn't belong on a man...

[katiuska]

Hahaha, well, I started drawing it with the intention to add a jacket, so I was mostly getting a sense of placement. I'm probably keeping a version of him like this, though, so I'll do a bit more work on the whole region.

[Savage Thinking]

Demetrius's comment made no sense to me and made me stare at a man's ass longer than any guy should stare at a man's ass....

katiuska:

Now, his torso seems a tad too long. Also, if you wanna have realistic proportions, maybe he should have broader shoulders. Another thing, since his left arm is at a slightly higher level than his right, then I would think that his shoulder should be as well.

Anyway, here's something different I did. At first, it started as a harmless sketch, but ended up coloring it and and stuff on Photoshop. The way I see it, it's a unique look on the drawing of skeletons....

Incase you can't tell, they're all wearing glasses. And, that one in the bottom left is a pirate. It was unintentional, but people kept saying it was, so I went along with it. Quite proud of that coloring, though

[katiuska]

That was kind of the case with the torso anyway, it's just a little more obvious now. And I'm shooting somewhere between how he looks in anime renderings and how a living person would look... so I mean, I want the proportions to be a little more realistic than the former, but there's flexibility. EDIT: I tried the pose myself and remembered that I'd drawn the shoulders like that because he's twisting himself to the left. Basically, he's postured in a weird way that's hard to convey without madder skills, though the slope may still be wrong. I'll tweak it and see if it helps anything.

Chibi skeletons! Yeah, the coloring's well done. The top one is clearly a ninja, and the one on the right looks like a pimp. o.O

Yes, whenever I try doing "wierd", or action poses, the end result is usually a large grey smudge and frustration...

Yes! I'm proud of that feather. There's also another one that's got a fancy monocle & tophat. I'll post that up as soon as I can find it....

Dude, a man's ass is a sticky outy thing, a woman's is a curvy part of the body. Look at the picture and figure it out.

[Savage Thinking]

Well, due to the "bishonen" nature of the character itself, I think that it qualifies for more feminine-like qualities. But that's just me...

Or maybe the "lengthy" body makes the curve stick out. Also, the possibility of the pants being loose and poofy could have something to do with it.

[Demetrius]

Its simple physical aspects, a man isn't curvy. Bishi isn't a dude, its an effeminated character that is engineered to seem less imposing to women. A man is blocky and bulky.
