Fox-a-like

oNdizZ · 09-20-2006, 08:35 PM

A fox-a-like animal with a headband. Dunno where the headband came from, might have something to do with that i saw the Final Fantasy movie not so long ago.
Currently struggling with coloring it in PS with some guiding for TDR's tutorial about.. skipping the smudge tool. Made it under some boring lessons.
So, go ahead. Execute me.

(I assume this is the most correct subforum for this kind of.. drawing?)

er..its alright, not bad..but..not really good..the fur strokes seems very random and shading abit..well.er..blunt, but apart from that. its alright.

well, fur IS actualy random in real life...
I don't realy get how the face looks.
you should work on your line drawing technique, try and make modulated lines. Best practice for that is to make cubes, a lot of cubes (in perspective). Don't spend more than 10 seconds on a cube, no matter how it'll look. And try to make the line thicker for the parts closer to the eye and fade them as they get further, but from one stroke.
This has no volume, the little shading that you made is kinda useless, because it dosen't represent the shape of the object at all. There is no light source.
And overall the drawing is kinda difficult to read.

Keep practicing if you want to improve.

not really, fur shouldnt be placed totally at random everywhere, it should be placed depending on the muscle, skin, area of the creature or form, i mean, you dont see lions with their mane on their ass or a horse with its mane on its leg or all over the place... im just saying..dotn kick my ass...

fur placement != fur randomness...

Very bad method of doing fur/shading. Try practicing with a Graphite Stick (don't know if that's what they are called everywhere) if you can get your hands on one, I got very good with that in my art classes.

Nice fox but, could be a lot better.

well ye, still just a random noob :p
thanks for the critics, will.. try to remember it... to the next time i do something.
the fox was meant as a.. random pet (should have been placed nearby an evil creature/human being).
