Default A Knight's Artwork

NOTENOTENOTE: NEWER STUFF IS LOCATED NEAR THE BOTTOM, IGNORE MOST OF THE STUFF UP TOP



Heeey

When I'm not wasting time on the internet or being at school, I'm almost always drawing. I only started to get serious with my drawing/Pokemon character development about in September of last year, and I finally got a tablet for X-mas, plus started to improve a lot with sketchbook work. Here is some of the stuff I've drawn so far this year.

Torchic (not my general style, I'm a black-outline guy):
...


Wario (?)
...


My Trick Room Darmanitan and Sandile (it's a Krookodile in-game YES I MAKE POKEMON CHARACTERS):
...


A huge Pokemon sketchdump:
...


My VGC Hitmontop Droodle trying to show his appreciation to Lady Bow, my TR VGC Dusknoir (They work as an amazing team in-game):
...

That "MY BALLS!" thing on the next to last sketch is uber funny xD

These look good! They might be a little like, unclean? Sometimes it looked like you rushed them :/ I'm a black outliner type of person too!
Are you using a tablet or mouse? For a mouse they're pretty good, but if you don't have a tablet, you should get one. These would look awesome! Also, try outlineing scanned sketches. :P and do drawings in layers. Try gimp, it allows a bunch of layers, and is totally free. lawl. You could also pirate Paint Tool Sai too if you wanted to, but w/e. xD

Sometimes the anatomy of the Pokemon/people/whatever looks a little weird, but not so much on the last sketch. So idk. Either way... KEEP WORKING! :D

Hehe, thanks :P

Yeah, I do have a tablet and GIMP, and I plan on using Paint Tool Sai in the future.

Yeah, that's just my style as you could call it. I can draw real proportionate people, but I just enjoy cartooning better :)

Disclaimer: You've definitely gotten a lot better.

Anyway... I really dig your 2-character sketches, and your stylized scrafty is just awesome.(extra bonus points for drawing Ness)

keep it up!

It was supposed to be a PK Flash, but now that I look at it again, it DOES look like an Energy Ball...

Rest assured it's the former :P

Really happy at this one turned out. Took me about 5 hours, it's based off the old Donkey Kong arcade art:

Solid stuff! Your work reminds me of someone else, but I can't quite place who. Feels like 70% JarardoMartino and 30% RitterCat. [That's a good thing by the way!]

I think you know as well as I do that you could clean up your lines a bit, but that comes with practice, so just keep at it like you have been!

I'd encourage you to use more shades too, and go for some adventurous colour choices. Have a go imitating NJ's [Nastyjungle's] stuff, I think that'll stretch you a little.

Overall, pretty sweet! :>

Seeing as apparently you are 30% me, I'll give that 30% some advice!
Basically the big thing at the moment is what Alch said, the line art. It's a bit sloppy, but I think you're doing it with a mouse(?), so to improve try zooming in more and working slower.
I like your character and colouring however, but being adventurous with colours nj style is something that could help the pieces look REALLY nice, and it's something I need to work one too :/

Also Alch your post made me realise I miss Jarardo :(

Yeah, lineart has always been something I've been trying to improve on, being steady with my hand on my tablet has always been kinda hard considering my tablet pen is all screwed up :/
Yeah, besides that I've been considering trying to experiment with the colors also. Thanks for all the tips! : >

Some stuff from this month (MASSIVE post alert):
...

Used some of the art tutorials on here for help, especially nastyjungle's ones, and I've also been trying to vary myself in coloration and clean my artwork like you guys have recommended.

Your artwork is definitely improving. I love the shading that you're doing, but I would suggest that you work on lineart. If you improve that, I think that your pieces will be taken to a whole new level!

Keep up the great work!

Oh wow umm I haven't posted in my own topic for ages and I should feel sorry for it.

I've been up to date on my arts on nuggetbridge, but I guess to make it up I'll post some of the better stuff I've done in the three months of not posting:

I know it gets a little flak, but your lineart is really good in the sense of proportion. You've got human proportions down really well and manage to make it look natural, rather than awkward- which is something a lot of people, including myself, struggle with. The proportions on the animals depicted are also pretty natural-looking, and your style is bright and eye-catching. :3

Critique below:

Good luck with your art! :D You have a good style going and I'd like to see more of your work.

Here's exactly 46 days-worth of art:

...


After the Rotom-W pic, I converted back to Sketchbook Express, and I'm loving it due to the fact it actually has pressure sensitivity on a Mac.

In a month or so I'm going to be putting together my porfolio for two art colleges, so it's gonna be hectic.
