Hey! Not bad at all! Especially the first one (of what's his name from .hack the first series)
The second one's eyes are a little too far to the side (too far left) to look real (looks like a horse), but the other two are fine. The third one's eyes are HUGE, but that's not a bad thing. The head has an intriguing shape. It's probably just style, once again. You don't mess with style.

Thanks.
You are right though.
That is because I drew it on the computer with paint.
Boy was it hard.

One the first picture, the highlights on the hair look like they're there because you know hair is supposed to have highlights, but you don't know where they actually go. Also, spikey hair would make a spikey shadow. A word on the lines, it looks kind of sloppy, but it could almost be mistaken as a particular style you were aiming for (and who knows, maybe you were) so it's ok.

The second picture is not too interesting. It doesn't really look like you put much effort into it, so critiquing it won't do much good.

The third picture is similar to the second, in that it looks like it was made very quickly. The eye is waay too slit and the overall pose looks awkward.

And what is a dictective?

The greatest thing about drawing is no matter how good you get, you can always improve. Heck, I'm sure some of the best artist's here learn a thing or two everyday. And there's always room for improvement.

I wish I had something OTHER than paint to draw things on my computer. But really, if you keep using programs with limitations such as MS paint, your artistic skill will get WAY better than if you use a crutch like PS to name ONE.

I am going to use an allusion to illustrate my point. It's like when Goku from Dragon BallZ trained with heavy weights attatched to his limbs and when he took them off, he was way stronger. Just keep practicing with Paint. ^-^

Heck, look at some of the things people draw for their backdrops in their OHR games. Where do you think the majority of them draw em? MSPaint. And if you're gonna draw the human figure, study up on some cartoons. They draw quite loose, so you don't have to make sketchy lines. I developed my own unique style based on that of cartoons.

Leroy, aside from that being insane, it's not an allusion, and if you want something other than paint, there are PLENTY of free graphics programs online, several of which have quite small filesizes.


Ok. I guess I'll hold you to that then. Neutral
