I'm going to be honest with you.I don't like it.There's no sense of movement or dynamics to your drawing.It looks like Diana's just standing at attention awaiting further orders.Also,you need to study anatomy and shading.Comic book artwork,especially superhero stuff,should have a sense of fluidity and excitement to it.This doesn't move me at all.I suggest that you get a copy of How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way by Stan Lee & John Buscema.This is a great book,and it'll explain in more detail what I'm talking about.

Um, thanks for the crit...I guess. I can appreciate if it's not your cup of tea, but given the source I think I'll ignore it. You know what they say about people in glass houses.

jeffo46 · 12-15-2007, 01:03 PM

Just exactly what do you mean by that? I'm not trying to say that you can't draw,because it's obvious that you can,but at the same time,there are some things that you could possibly learn and use to your advantage.If you can't accept honest criticism,then maybe this isn't the place for you to be posting your art.

^ Not a completely douche bag reply to a legitimate critique at all.

I dig it, you give her a sense of mass without making her a female bodybuilder.

My only real critique, she seems kinda short, but that's in all honesty, impossible to tell without comparisons to her surroundings.

there is NOTHING wrong with drawing Wonder Woman in a simple "I'm standing up and looking" pose. If the only thing people drew in comics were dynamic action, blowing up buildings, running and jumping scenes, NO ONE would read comics.. they'd get boring. We like comics because of the kickass art work, yes but we also like them because of depth in story. Because she's standing there like that it gives the viewer a chance to try to feel what she's feeling. No she's not swinging her sword or cracking her whip, but this, in fact, could be a very dynamic drawing depending on the story behind it. I can get in her head and feel what she's feeling and she looks like a still strong character here. You should do dymanic action drawing too, of course.. but you will need things like this, as well as the jumping across rooftops & blowing up cars to work in the industry. Here she's wondering, she's thinking.. and you captured that perfectly.

now as far as anatomy goes, it's alright, but it can be a whole lot better. Grab some of the zillions of anatomy books and get to work. and if you can't check out this site: it's help me alot with my anatomy and was reffered to me by a DWer when I was getting started recieving critiques, and there numerous other sites out there. You just have to keep on drawing and you well keep on getting better. Practice practice practice.

Thanks Gideon-

Leave it to a fellow New Yorker to get it.

i like it. she looks like a real woman. not a hard toned image, but a soft flesh like feel. my only dislike was that she looks like she's just finished a tussle, and her shoulders are relaxed waiting for the next, but her legs are tense. just me though.

i like it.

i like the "idea" just fine. nothing wrong with the idea. the execution was okay. things could be better. could be a hell of a lot worse. like always, like all of us, just keep drawing and you will get better and better.
