i'm sytze from the netherlands, sixteen years old and in school. i draw alot and i'm still learning. i understand this whole forumboard is kind of the big league under art. so i'm hoping to learn alot from artists here.

other then drawing, i play bass guitar for 7 years. my biggest inspiration being les claypool (primus.) victor wooten and larry graham. i might be able to upload a soundbite in the future. ;)

i'd like some harsh critique on my drawings, i'd rather get harsh critique then getting thumbs up constantly like when i show it to friends or other forumboards.

heres some anatomy thing i did. it's my first one, done fully with mouse because a graphic tablet is out of the question in our household, fully complete with buckteethed facial expression for comical value.

some drawing i made in pen at school a year ago. started as a doodle but got winded up with make some drawing of a robe/dress thing. i'd like to call it thing-in-a-dress-with-two-chimneys-sticking-out-of-his-back.

i do have more pencil/pen art (i prefer drawing with pen, because, i'm used to it. i've been trying to work more with pencil tho.) but i don't have it on my computer just yet.

comments are really appreciated. because i'd love to know the opinion about it so far (tho so little stuff i can offer right now.) from better artists then myself.

Hello and welcome. :)

I highly recommend Anthony Ryder's book, listed here (http://www.amazon.com/Artists-Complete-Guide-Figure-Drawing/dp/0823003035/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199315193&sr=8-1). He also has an excellent website:

http://tonyryder.com/

Check out his drawings and his demos (http://tonyryder.com/demo/index.htm). Try copying some of his works from his book following the method he describes. His book is very clear and his methods easy to follow and understand.

You are old enough to attend a life drawing class, which I recommend. Nothing will hasten your understanding of drawing more than a still life / life drawing class.

Looking forward to your progress here. :)

thanks for the kind words, i'm not sure about getting book because of the payment option. but theres a big book store around the block. ;)

my brother (21) also had scholarship to a life drawing class (actually, somekind of acadamy for art) where he was in the branch of working with all the tools. learning alot about drawing, i'm hoping i can attend to it too.

the school also has the highest streams in education (VWO, also my education stream. pre-university) which means i can probably still attend to university when time comes.
