X-Men sketches

Hey all. I have attached a couple of my older sketches. Crits welcome.

Nice start, Make sure you are watching those proportions. You got some big heads and such here and there. Keep it up.

Yeah, your proportions are abit off (as mentioned) and I have a feeling that you hate drawing hands - not your strongest area.

Grab some reference pics and do a few basic drawings, only worrying about proportions. And then draw your hand a few times too. Look forward to seeing more.

Have to agree with what's been posted already. Keep working on your proportions, and then specifics like hands, knees (a tough area), and even some close up shots. Good understructure, seems you tend to lose it a bit when you try to go directly to a fuller rendering.

Thanks for the practical crits. I think you all have been able to point out my biggest needs for improvement. I don't particularly like drawing knees and hands. I also tend to be lazy on measuring proper proportion. I feel comfortable with the figure until the rendering needs to look "finished". I am not always sure were to go with it and how far is too far. Now I know were to concentrate on improvement. Thanks again.

Don't we all. I think most artists probably prefer their roughs or prelims over the finished work many, many times. I know I have.

Anyway have some fun, keep at it and look forward to seeing some great posts.
