People whine too easily.

[GullumVoice]Leave now, and never come back![/GullumVoice] seriously, you're annoying.

go spag!

and incase you didn't notice, I can shade. Did you even look at my drawings? I sorta hope you didn't so you don't find something small to whine really bad about that too. Now I have some questions:

1: How does it look flat?
2: Does a clear light-source really matter in a sprite.
3: Do you even know perspective? Cause I do. Now shut up.
4: And I can work from life, but let me ask you this: can you work from life if you're trying to draw something that is far from real?

Answer, then leave my topic. Thank you.

"Many cartoonists and animators say that the very reason they want to make cartoons is because they want to get AWAY from realism and the realistic world into the realms of imagination. They'll correctly point out that most cartoon animals DON'T look like animals- They're designs, mental constructs. Mickey ain't no mouse. Sylvester ain't no cat. They look more like circus clowns than animals. Frank Thomas always says, 'If you saw Lady and the Tramp walking down the road, there's no way that you are going to buy that they're real dogs.'

But to make these designs work the MOVEMENTS have to be believable - which leads back to realism and real actions, which leads back to studying the human or animal figure to understand its structure and movement. What we want to achieve isn't realism, it's believability.

While Tex Avery released the animator from the more literal approach in order to do the impossible, he was only able to do so successfully because his animation was done by Disney drop-outs who already had 'the Disney knowledge' of articulation, weight, etc. So, ironically, his rebellion, his 'going the other route', had its basis in an underlying knowledge of realism

But don't confuse drawing with a map! We're animating MASSES, not lines. So we have to understand how mass works in reality. In order to depart from reality, our work has to be based ON reality."

Jeez guys, calm down. Spaghetti, you're no better and so is you all sticking up for him. Evilagram isn't being mean or anything, he's trying to help. You might think it's mean but it's not. And spaghetti, the only reason you got complements was because the whole forum is populated by idiots who can't even critise for balls and never actually seen good work. Just because he critses a lot doesn't mean he's a a****** or whatever. You guys are being stupid cry babies and you can't take a little critism. I bet you guys don't even have the guts to masterbaute. Seriously, GTFO.

BTW, Spaghetti, you work is good i don't really blame you it's just that deux does the shading not how Evilagram would. It's okay, sometimes you have to know it's a mistake and fix it.

Thank you for defending me, despite the obvious conflict of interest.

Sandvich, stop trolling so obviously. You could comment on the anatomy, the weird folds on the left hand, or the questionable weight of the pose, but the shading is not something I screwed up on.
