I'm back, again.
I've been studying a bit of anatomy and have been practicing a lot with my artwork, however I'm still having trouble with a lot of my shading and colouring techniques.
I feel that a lot of my work is really amateur, the way that the lines aren't thin and blend in with the image right, the shading and colouring techniques I'm using. But no matter how much I try I just can't seem to make the image look how I want it to.
Anywho, here are some of my latest works. (NOTE: These aren't listed in order of when I made them)

Newest work: show
Lyoko Blight - (Redesign) *FINISHED*
Image
A simple redesign, although I got rid of that thing on his right arm, I don't know what I was thinking when I added that.
I was a little carried away with making his shoulders broad and accidentally made the right shoulder a little too long.
I just haven't really been bothered to go back and fix it.

Genderbent Adventure Time Group Picture *FINISHED*
Image
This was made after I got Flash MX, I wanted to mess around with it as much as I could and I ended up making this.
I tried to make it as simple as possible, nothing that detailed.

My take on the RWBY poster *FINISHED*
Image
I'm not too sure how I feel about this one... At first I was really proud of the White piece, but later realised that there were a few things that look kinda off.
As for the others, they're okay but Black is probably the second piece that I'm most proud of.

William, The Spoiled Brat *FINISHED*
Image
Long story short, I was playing Don't Starve for the first time and I loved it, eventually I heard that people could make their own characters.
I thought I might as well give it a try, I made this picture but I abanoned the character itself for a while, I'll complete it soon.

JonTron *FINISHED*
Image
As I heard the news that Jon had left Game Grumps, my friend, who absolutely adores Jon, was extremely sad and she had been very upset for that week.
I thought I'd cheer her up by drawing a pic of Jon. It did cheer her up and I'm glad she liked it.

My friend's character *FINISHED*
Image
I just got Paint Tool SAI that day and I've been wanting to mess around with it, then I remembered that I owed my friend a picture of his character, so I drew this for him.
He liked it, I kind of did as well, but I didn't like how I drew the fire.

Some random guy *SKETCH*
Image
Second test after getting Paint Tool SAI, I like how I did the lineart and thought that I shouldn't mess it up by colouring it, so I left it like that.

Yang Xiao Long *FINISHED*
(The Sketch)
Image
(Lineart, Colouring and Shading in Paint Tool SAI)
Image
(The Background and Final Image)
Image
I thought I'd go for a different style with this image, as you can see I made a few changes to the lineart after scanning it and re-drawing it on the computer.
I think that I did a pretty decent job with the lineart, but as I mentioned before, I hate how this kind of looks 'amateur' in my opinion.


C+C is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Old work: show
First Piece - RWBY 'Ruby' (FINISHED)
Image
This is Ruby from Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth's very own upcoming series, RWBY.
I do not own Ruby in any sort of way, all credit goes to the RWBY owners for making this character.
Made using:
-Paint.NET
-Adobe PhotoShop Editor

Second Piece - My very own OC, Lyoko Blight (W.I.P.)
Image
Lyoko Blight is my OC who happens to wield a giant lollipop as a weapon, however it can be upgraded by two levels to change it's appearance and strength.
I'm not sure if I want to finish this pose, I feel like drawing a different pose and abandoning this one.
Made using:
-Paint.NET

Third Piece - My second OC, Saito Shinoma (W.I.P.)
Image
Saito Shinoma wields dual pistols and will be the opponent to Lyoko Blight in a short little Flash animation I am planning to make once I get my hands on the program.
In Paint.NET I plan to fix most anatomy issues in this piece, like the torso being too short and the feet being too small.
However I am quite proud of the facial details and hair with this piece, one of my best.

Fourth Piece - Lyoko Blight in Adventure Time style (FINISHED)
Image
As the title of the piece says, just a little break from anime and proper anatomy I guess.
As you can see though I have changed some of the design of Lyoko:
He now has proper socks, his shoes are white and orange and I removed some of the squares on the shorts.

Fifth Piece - Chris from Bravest Warriors (W.I.P.)
Image
Thought I might try to draw someone from Bravest Warriors, and I did. I'm pretty happy with this one.
The 'egoraptor' styled shading is just something I wanted to add to this picture, I think it looks pretty good.
While I'm proud of this one, I still have a few little bits to edit and fix. However I do intend on doing the rest of the five main characters.

Sixth Piece - L fom Death Note (W.I.P.)
Image
I've been re-watching Death Note lately and I said hey, what a wonderful kind of day I should try to draw some of the Death Note characters.
So I decided to do L first because he has the least amount of detail, while still lookin' pretty good.
As for my opinion on the lineart, I'm honestly not sure if it's good or not, I'm terrible at feet and I can't tell if the shoulders aren't broad enough.

Loving the first one, both for the design and the art in general.

The second one is alright. The art doesn't seem to be as good as the first, but on top of that, the clothing design feels to forced (in reference to the random squares, as well as half blue half yellow shorts.)

The third is just kinda bland, but still an improvement on your what you use to make.

Overall I see a lot of potential here, and I think that if you keep trying you can become much better, in time.

Lyoko lacks a crotch.

And a couple of other body parts but a good start none the less.

@Arel, Looking back at it now, the clothing does have a lot of squares. I'll get rid of the ones on the shorts, they look good on the jacket.
Also, the third is bland because it's just a rough sketch right now, a lot more will be added.

@Luke, thx bby <3

@Psycho, Thanks for the compliment, I'm pretty proud of that one.

@Damian, wait what

He lacks a crotch, ankles and a wrist. Also socks.

And why he wears a floatation sac thingy around his neck is anyone's guess.

Piece does not indicate any source of water nearby, ergo wearing it is next to useless.

@Damian, It's just part of his jacket design, it isn't a floatatioin sac.
@Kyuubit, Oh, he's wearing socks. They're just really short.

well then I'd say having socks that short would probably make his ankles cold

but he clearly doesn't have any sooo

If you like having the squares on his jacket, you should at least make them have a pattern or some sort of order.
