Traditional Art A hopeless attempt to draw Namine

This is my first (or second) time I've ever drawn any female characters. Unfortunately, I'll have to say that it sucks real bad. Also, my scanner jacked up a lot of things cuz on the original picture, there is a LOT more shading.

As usual, I was really bored in school so I decided to try drawing Namine as my first female character considering how she's relatively simple which seems like a good start. Also, I wanted to portray an older version of herself (17 years old to be exact) such as the drawing (which is no longer a scribble with color pencils) in her sketchbook. But I'll have to say that it turned out to be pretty disappointing as there are many mistakes. (though it mite not be easily visible) I mite work on it some more in the near future so expect changes in shades, background, appearance, etc.

BTW, that's Roxas in the picture. And if u can't tell already, I suck at drawing him too.

 

it's nice. better than my kairi drawings. i draw mainly girl kh characters.

 

I would critique it...

But I cant see it >.<

Shade in harder and then repost it if you want me too CnC

 

It honestly doesn't look bad at all!

 

I think it looks pretty good, though I can't say too much cause of how faded it is.

 

Looks good to me, and I would say more but it's hard to see it.

 

Can't say whether it's my scanner's fault or my fault...

 

Your lucky you can draw. I cant draw anything 0.o

 

It's an okayish job.
Although it's alittle blurry,re-shade it.

 

Exactly. ^.^

 

it looks good from what i can see :D

 

It's way too light.

This particular effect could give the image an airy, frail feeling. Just make it a bit more visible next.

Kay, since I saw jacksh!t, I took this to Photoshop and darkened the image. And I have to saw, this is globally really well done.

The body proportions itself pretty much fit, so well done there. There seems to be a very minor perspective issue with her bottom half, but it's nothing drastic so I think I'll leave it be.

Good job again.

 

Okay, look, I'm going to try and not to be too harsh. But I am going to critique you. If you don't want critiquing, then try and just skip/ignore this, okay?

Honestly, the only thing you did well was the hair. Everything else is pretty messed up.

1. First of all, the feet aren't supposed to form to the shoe. Rather the shoe is supposed to be forming around the foot, molding with it. And the toes are a bit messed up - might want to work on making them bigger and more three dimensional, okay?

2. The arms aren't too good either. You need some work on shaping those. Remember - the shoulder extends to the elbow, which is smaller than the next part with the wrist. also, right where the elbow is, make the arm into a bit of a bottle shape curve.

3. The dress is off as well, but I can see how that might just be your style.

4. The book isn't realistic enough. I am presuming she's sitting down, becuase if she isn't, this picture is really beyond my help. So, the book should be drawn flat, maybe with the binder or pages facing the veiwer.

5. The eyes are a little too small, but, again, it might just be your style.

Keep working at it! >w<
