ive only been drawing for about a month.

here is a picture of a marine i drew.

The necks too long, the shading needs some work, the hands are a little hard to see, the right leg is too thin, and the folds aint perfect.

before you tell me whats wrong with it, try to find something that i dont already know about.

i freehanded this from one of the previews of that halo graphic novel and got carried away.

problems:

shading, smoothing, smears, the hat is too squre, etc...

yea, i know that the hand is too big and everything else you might complain about.

I only started drawing mid febuary.

I like them! But like you said, your shading isnt all too good. The worst case it eh picture you previewed on here. Its hard to tell the difference between certain areas as its the one shade.

I think some of your proportions are off too, such as the legs of both the first picture you posted (Full marine) and the master chief. Otherwise, they are pretty good. Oh yeah, as mentioned above, the shading could indeed use some work, but I actually like most of it that is on the chief picture, the armor anyway.

Those aren't too bad for MS Paint, nice job.

So... I discovered this crazy thing called a pencil lying around. Apparently it predates the keyboard as a written communication device. I decided to try to recreate a render off Bungie.net of MC and the shotgun. By the way, if you look closely at the render on Bungie's page, you'll notice his fingers going through the grip of the shotgun.

(Image has been through Photoshop to make it more visible, my scanner is trash. I have the original, unaltered 4000xsomething pixel 3MB scan as well.)

That's cool. The things I don't like are the shading (esp. on the rubber) and the right foot, and the visor. Everything else is pretty fantastic.

Nice job, was that tracing or a free hand with a reference picture?
