Artwork Dumpage - HELP!

#1

I have a portfolio meeting with an amazing artist so I’ve been trying to upgrade my portfolio by drawing something everyday for the last 2 weeks. I literally haven’t been sleeping (Well I have problem sleeping in the first place but figured I should draw in the mean time).

I’m posting up everything I’ve done from last two weeks pretty much, any input I would be grateful.

Quick sketch of Cammy that I did in class - Did you guys notice that Cammy mostly have back illustrations/backshots? (wonder why… pfft)

Random girl randomly taking off her shirt for some reason.

I wanted to draw a guy in an interesting pose so I ended up with bunch of kung fu poses. (Probably would’ve been more interesting if it was a girl

Throwing in a random sailor moon in here because… its 20th anniversary or something and I wanted to remember what started it all for me :slight_smile:

These are abit older, but feedback would be great.

Chun Li - Her leg/foot bothers me but its really hard to find a good reference for leg in that position with gigantic muscles. If anybody can get me any pointers/good reference… I’ll love you :slight_smile:

This isn’t finished yet - Need more details all over. Sigh. Her face alone took me forever so I’m a bit hesitant about touching this again but should within a month.

Thanks for looking and helping me out. Greatly appreciated.

It’s a little hard to comment on a thread filled with images. I just posted this in the sticky thread at the top of this forum, which explains why it’s a problem:

“Another thing I see a lot, is people dumping a lot of images into the thread and then simply asks for comments. Nobody has the time to give thorough critiques for so many images at once. If you’re asking for a portfolio review for a specific job title, then that’s a different story, but that’s not what we usually see. What we see is just a bunch of images dumped into a thread and then “Comments, please.” There’s no mention of what goal of the artist is, if he’s just a hobbyist or what kind of career he’s aiming for, what he wants to improve on the most, what he thinks his weaknesses are, and so on.”

Agreed with Robert.

In general I would say to start trying to see simple shapes in your compositions. The biggest issue I’m seeing in your work is a tentative line. We humans can usually draw squares, circles, and triangles pretty confidently. Use that idea to your advantage to improve your compositions, and shapes. That can improve your line quality a lot. Also draw by moving your whole arm, from the shoulder. Avoid short stabby strokes when blocking in your large shapes.
