iron fist has a big fist-sketch for penciljack weekly sketch group "
Oh damn, that is an awesome drawing. Love how you were even brave enough to draw him barefoot, feet are tough to draw! The only real criticism I have is, on the bigger picture of his head, his mask doesn't do that, it just kinda wraps around his head and ties up at the back. But it's a kickass sketch and I've love to see it inked/coloured, that right there could be a comic book cover!
@frisch yo dude whats been going on-feels good to be back on the vine and seeing old friends :w00t:...ive just been drawing like a lunatic-mainly on deviant but also everywhere else :D @eclipse thanks so much...yeah i must agree on his mask it got a little funky ^^;...but overall was pleased with this one @harlequin much appreciated...i finally hit(for once :D) that hand pose going forward so i was very happy with that scarlet witch(and of course she is also my fave avenger) @ice prince like i told frisch really cool to see what you guys have been up too lately as well-nice mary marvel you did this week :boogie:-hey man im just going to keep rocking anatomy practice(good things come to those who practice anatomy 10 hours a day :D) @caligula most definitely :highfive: having some fun checking out the showoffs-trying to find some time to work in a sketch or three :D...been trying to blow up my deviant page but now i want some cv levels too :D @gambit thanks for the kind words...definitely will be more-i draw a ton(hopefully some of it is quality :D)

Your artwork has some great basic components, but, if you don't mind me saying, some of your characters aren't defined away from each other. I don't mean to offend but a lot of your characters look extremely close to each other but with different costumes. Like your Black Canary and your Scarlet Witch drawings. You show great basic components of artistic ability, but they don't really look much like the characters the drawings are based on, they look like your other characters in different costumes.
I do have a few qualms about your anatomy as well. The way you draw abs is a little weird, and in pure anatomic terms way out of shape. Also, your side full-body profiles tend to seem as if their slumping forward. In terms of alignment, the Head and the neck fall out of place with where the shoulders are located and don't run correctly with the s curve of the spinal cord. On a few of your front profiles the pose itself is physically impossible to hold as the center of balance isn't actually center. And in comparison with your side profiles, the shoulders are lower while on the side profile they rise up and block the neck.
I don't mean to offend, but those are a few things I just felt should be pointed out. I think you have great artistic ability and consistency, but your art shows development of a bad habit that you may not be able to kick later on. I think you are good, but if you work on your craft and don't give up (which I see you haven't), you will be great.
much thanks for the comments...agree and agree-really is an ongoing process here-frankly week to week hoping to improve/work on weak areas(feet and hands bothering me as always ^^;). definitely will be cracking harder than ever at anatomy-side profiles are definite work in progress, abs still trying to get a handle on what i want to do-i can see it i just cant draw it yet :D. as too looking alike-i don't know if this isn't more common a problem across the board...for the most part the characters do look alike-without some costume variations(take an ed benes or really most comic artists for example) the characters, with some exceptions, are pretty cookie cutter. that being said trying to carve out some time(mmm...could sleep less :D) for an extended period on faces.
@Selkirk: For drawing faces, I suggest stealing some of your mom's (if you're like me and still in high school) Victoria's Secret magazines and just drawing those faces. I also suggest just drawing people you see. Draw your friends or draw random strangers. Just do that and you'll improve. For getting better at drawing portraits in general, which in turn help you improve your faces, I suggest a book called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. It's amazing and will help anybody, whether they can or can't draw, become a better artist.
As for feet and hands... those are definitely hard. I got better at drawing hands by just drawing my own in different poses. I'm still working on drawing feet though.
@orionstarlancer thanks for the kind words-i really really have been practicing feet...must agree they are always tough to get right. @crom-cruach :D thanks i appreciate it :boogie:.
