Imperator Sam Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Second thread. I've been tryign to use more dynamic poses, and have been looking at a lot of other fan and GW concept art to try and make my marines look better. Don't know if it is working... This was before my "dynamic" phase, but i like his face . This one was based of a GW concept drawing, I need some feedback on the hood, chest, face, and robes. If the Chest is messed up, which I think it is, I'm thinking of putting the chapter symbol up in the corner on instead. I think his robes look like they are all going in the same dirctions, and I would appreciate (sp?) some advice on how to get folds to look more natural, if anyone has links to such arcane knowledge. If I get enough feed back, I *might* finish this one up in pen and possibly add a background. C+C desperatly sought. Thanks.

Askren Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Unfortunately, art critique is hard to give, because no amount of advice can 'improve' how someone draws. The best piece of advice I can give you is: Always ask yourself, "When I look at the object in front of me, and I look down at my paper, am I seeing the same thing? And if not, what can I do to my picture to change that?" Outside of that, there's really only practice. One thing I would suggest, print out that picture you based the second drawing on (I know which one it is, too. It's the concept art for the Tyrannic Veterans off the Games Workshop UK site.), and line it up with yours, and ask yourself what went right and what went wrong. Then go back and try and adjust it based on that. And just so you know I'm not a crackpot, I'm a professional cartoonist, illustrator, and graphic designer currently working on a BFA in Cartooning and Illustration. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149686-artwork-some-marines/#findComment-1738690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmodai Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 they look a little hunch backed, and wee tiny heads. other than that, dont make the shoulderpads so rounded and youre set! bit of practice, you'll be cranking out some brilliant doodles Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149686-artwork-some-marines/#findComment-1738693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Sam Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 thanks for the suggestions and advice. With the smaller heads, i was trying to make the impression of the bulkiness of a marine in full power armour. and for the record, I didn't think you were a crackpot, Askren.

Imperator Sam Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks Morkar, sometime in the near future, possibly fall break, I will erase and do this one again. One of the hardest things for me is the backpack, I feel as if I make it too big, it is nice to know that the feelings have been right.

-Morkar- Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Np Sam :D I have to say that if you want to make the marines like a tank, the legs must be bigger, cause of the size of the torso.
