I think it's pretty evident why a tablet is essential for digital art, now. Good first few tries. Will return with thorough crits.

No more questions about the wacom. More questions (and answers!) about the art.

Ok the last one is more worked and very good.

What I'd do, after this stage, is go in and clean up. Try to, from the groups of lines, draw just one that is very representational, and erase all the others. Make it of variable thinkness, suggesting weight and curve. Clean up, do the next bit, repeat etc. Some line cross-hatching as shading isn't bad, but if you have colour, it's usually overkill.

I'd actually shade the fur too, with a soft blue, even if in reality it's pretty much all white. And never work with a white background, it will make everything be too light. Work with a neutra, earthlyl tone with little saturation.

Your biggest business will be to learn to clean up your wacom drawings, I think.

impressive.

the only real thing i see is line control, i guess. it's hard to keep a constant pressure on the pen, but i think you can adjust it's sensitivity?

i can't draw very well. the most i do with my wacom is manips on photos. makes it easier to select certain areas, etc...

That actually turned out pretty nice :O

I mean, it was nice before, but this one obviously makes it a little less sketchy. Kinda makes me want one ;_;

you are insane eye tie, this is a million times better now.

Good work, MLE, but wait, wouldn't the other little white horn show from that angle?

Anyway, a job well done in my oppinion.

Layer upon layer of well-constructed lamb, and small but powerful use of colors. :D

EDIT: just finished another in this style.

Wow that hand is really impressive. I use to think that hands aren't a big deal but there is alot of detail in them and coupled with the foreshortening you put in, makes it pretty amazing. I can't seem to bend my hand to make it look like that.

HAND:

The drawing is solid (reference, I guess) but I'd clean up the line art even more BECAUSE I'M A JERK. The colouring is also solid, but it, and the lineart clash in style. getting the lineart cleaner is a first step towards getting them to work well together. Then you need to go in and actually lighten or darken your lineart so that it adheres to the brightness of individual places. The more you can get this to look painted, the better a job you've done (in my oppinion, as this is a very good exercise).

PONY:

Ponies are for fags, you fag. Again could be a bit cleaner. Especially given the subject matter. Your stylistical choices should reflect your subject matter, juxtapose it or otherwise aknowledge it. In this case, going for real smooth all over I think, is a good idea. Also, the lighting on this one is a bit, wobbly. As in, lots of ambient light, but no discernible light source. This presents problems in my telling if it's consistent all over or not, but it's no biggie.

PORTRAIT:

I like the brush strokes, it's a good idea to train different styles, because they're used for different things. Or something. So the brush strokes showing are good, but the glowing is not, in my oppinion. This would be a good piece to try to retain the 'busy' style, but take away lines that aren't essential to it. I'm looking at those in the top of the front of the dress, or in the right (ours) shoulder. Where there's less busy strokes, there's more light. So in the shoulder it'd make sense to take them off, for example. Top of the head also, and so on.

I can see you getting better from piece to piece.

Holy shit.

That's fucking spectacular right there.

Before Helm gets a reply in, mind if I try to figure out what you're going to touch up?
