CRAP

This was supposed to be a reply to my thread, and the 'reply to thread' button thingy didn't register, and now I feel like an enormous idiot.

Really sorry about this!

I hope that thing up his ass is a buttplug and not...something else. Maybe it'll be more apparent in the colored version.

If it wasn't a dildo, it would be the most gravity-defying turd in the history of mankind.

Not actually looking for crit, but felt like posting these bust sketches of the Heavy that I'd done. I used model shots for reference, the weird light drawings were traces I did for the sake of being able to more easily gauge the proportions of his enormous head.

Understood. Maybe it is because I have recently started to draw things in this fandom, but it will probably take time for me to I guess have a more acceptable style of art to post here.

I'll just stay low again then. Feel free to delete this thread.

Okay, what the fuck is this nonsense we're spewing here? "Acceptable" style of art?

>>2557
If you want to keep drawing like this it's perfectly fine so long as you apply some of the critique you recieve. I don't honestly see anything wrong with drawing cartoonishly, and as >>2556 said there are already several artists on this site posting in less realistic styles. If you'd like to get better and improve as you seem to want to, we have this board, /workshop/, for a reason. Staying low will not get you the critique you'd need to improve, especially if you "stay low" on DA where you will recieve nothing but asspats. I encourage you to keep posting here, and I also encourage >>2553 to stop posting until they read >>1366 and learn from it.

The only "style" of art we outright hate here is drawing the characters as though they were anime characters with massive eyes and no nose. What I see here is nothing of the sort, so don't drop it as though it's that bad. Take some time to focus on the distinctive facial and bodily features of each class (such as their noses, jaw shape, silhouettes, etc.) and you will grow better, faster.

Will I regret getting into this? No, no I will not.
Ky, I really like your style, the warmup had nice movement, especially for a sitting pose; and while I preach no "accepted" style of art since everyone has their own style, I advise taking into account at the noses. Many of the classes have convex noses (Scout and Engie are the two exceptions), so that would be something worth looking at.

Really, even if the nose thing doesn't work out, capturing the body language of the subject says a lot about that character anyway, and you seem to be pretty good at that. It's always good to have flow in a drawing.

Should you feel that you want to move to a more realistic style or proportioning/anatomy, I would recommend checking out this thread: http://tf2chan.net/workshop/res/22.html and looking at reference photos for poses and the relationship between body parts: how they move, length comparisons, etc.

Long story short, everything Ashe said. Derp.
Also, keep drawing and posting, Ky; don't be so hard on yourself.

I'm guessing the finger on his mouth is his index finger, which would make the right hand have six fingers. Otherwise, it's his thumb, which would be a really too long thumb.

.... h-holy shit, how did i miscount fingers. WOW, ME. this is why we don't draw late at night! thank you very much for catching that sghlsfhgjkfhfk!

Thanks you guys!
Here is a.. well, a result of a very odd livestream.

Invader Zim styled Engineer? Day has been made.

>>4584
That is fucking AWESOME. Thank you for making my life, Prae.

Okay. My bad. What I mean to say was: do you think you know enough about human anatomy to start doing redlines for other people?

Loved the pose, but I thought I could add somethings you could improve upon.

Anything you can't read, or I forgot to add more detail to if the red-line does not speak for itself be sure to reply with areas I skimmed out on and or is illegible.

Study more of Scout's face and some general facial structure. Also hands seem to be rather stiff and you can use the posemaniacs "Hands for Drawing" section and pick your preferred hand for reference. If you can't find specific hand? Use your own hands then (I used my own hands for the hands in this picture).

As for the pose, you chose a hard one. Even I had to look for reference for this one. Keep at it and you should do fine.

oh hey, so that's where this went! i thought it got deleted or something. awesome!

>>2566
ooh thank you! the redlines help a lot. i've been having issues with giving people horsefaces lately, so the slight movement of his mouth/nose gives me a better idea of how to position them. also holy shit that website is boss and i'm going to spin that torso around while going WHEEE to amuse myself now.

i actually came here to post this picture. i started it on a whim and kept going with it because i liked the concept and soldier's face. having a hell of a time with demo's pose, though. dynamic poses are hard. any crits would be greatly appreciated! sorry, it's really REALLY sketchy. that probably hard to pick apart, but any input would be awesome!

apologies in advance if this is like a quadruple post, having issues with filesize here.

Is that supposed to be an Ullapool Caber he's holding?
Since, uh, it looks kind of like a leek.

>>2628
Oh god, can't unsee. Better fix that, haha ;)

Derpy leek cabers aside, any thoughts on the shading?

AAACK! sorry, wrong picture.

>>2358

I imagine at first they'd immediately dislike each other (what with the whole Cuban Missile Crisis being just a few years ago), racial slurs would be flung as well as punches, but eventually they'd realize they both fight for freedom, as well as for the helluvofit.

>>2359
Sorry demoman, soldier has a new bromance!
[also sorry for the mistakes in this I had trouble with the pose...]

>>2425

Omg I didn't even see this. /feelslikeshit

Thank you for the lovely fanart! I will most definitely try to finish Revolutionary.
