Click here to find it, you'll see my clothed form, nether the less, and some practice shots of his Foot claws.

I'm not that much of an artist per-say, but i like to doodle when i can.

What do you think?
Oh and sorry for the DA link, i'd upload it here if i weren't so lazy :D

Hey, it's a good start. You seem to have various views down, but making sure you retain proportions as you change perspective is crucial. If that didn't make a lick of sense, I don't blame you. Points for referring to the generic stick figure as a "lucky bastard." :lol:

Thanks for the comment :)

Yeah, i apparently do need to "Think how it would look" more often- for instance, the toe-step pose, i now realize the third toe isn't necessary as it wouldn't be seen from that view- it also should be a bit flatter.

Also yeah, i decided to draw the proportions, and i couldn't help but figure I'd match it up against a generic stick man who is 6ft tall- since he's right next to Kratomax's foot- i figured the label "Lucky Bastard" would suit him the best :3

I "LOL"ed at the artists discription. I too am not very good at drawing, but none the less, I'm practicing... but yeah, sorta like what Sprotchymon said... perspective is pretty much everything. :)

I'm in the same situation than you. I'm not that good either. But at least, you practiced and this is all matters. ^^ I should do the same too... :worried:

I guess so- my main aim is not to create a masterpiece, but to simply just get to the level where it's usable as an art (search Dragons, you'll get masterpieces, and you'll get just average, which is what I'm after) or something to add to my literature (because literature isn't as popular as art is)

Its a good start.
Sadly not being able to draw often means no reference of a character which means no drawing of other of it which means still no reference. :(
At least that is how it was with me, and still mostly is.
*isnt very talkative as he doesnt feel so well, evil air conditionings got him the worst cold in his life ever*

I hate colds soooo much... i probably get so many during winter it's probably worth naming it as a single cold...

i mainly drew it for this one purpose, to be able to give even the smallest reference.

I don't see why you can't :)
I'm not as self-concerned as other artists (You know the ones where they bite your head off for drawing their characters behind their backs to give them as a gift)
