I'm getting fucking rusty, aren't I? Those practice doodles are awful!

Anyway I'll make up for it:

^Hmmm, not quite a direct copy.

Some more soldiers of a fictional and non-fiction kind:







A weird looking suited agent:



Dr. Manhattan:



And an improved depiction of Archimandrite Luseferous of the Starveling Cult (from The Algebraist):

Some spaceships:





Watchmen inspired drawings:





A cat like alien, a Chelgrian:



A map of the Keep, a military facility that featured in Against a Dark Background:

Reference











Comments are welcome. I'm still mediocre, but I'm getting noticibly more coherent.

OK, the people I've drawn are out of my head with no real references:

A tank:


Training cadets:


Skeleton:


Practicing with form and shading:


Nude study (out of my horny head):


Heads on poles:


A character inspired by Dragonball Z:

I have noticed a lot of improvement. Very nice and imaginative stuff!

I am showing signs of progress, although I'm still in the prelimary stage of art skills. I may still do comic/manga stuff to pass the time, but I'm going to do still life of everyday objects and landscaping to properly develop my art skills.

Early attempts at proper Manga:

A bikini woman, because the anti-nudist fascists at Photobucket removed the same drawing with nipples:



I've got back to the rough Rorschach drawing and drew a crude background as a practice for a better drawing:



Two skylines in the vein of Blade Runner:

Some are getting pretty good.
Two things: When drawing lines, try to draw them from point A to Point B in one go instead of scrubbing the pencil back and forth until you reach B.




The other thing is that esspecially your vertical lines are often messed up. They often seem to tilt. You can see that esspecially good in the post before your last one. The with the big robot comming out of the hallway. The lines tilt and that ruins the whole image.

You are improving, but slowly. You need to invest in some anatomy books. Don't be afraid to do some tracing either.

^I've bought How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way and Anatomy for Artists: A Complete Guide to Drawing the Human Body.

OK, inspired by Havok's Catwoman sketch that features the major conglomerate, Wayne Enterprises, and the fully fledged megacorporation, LexCorp, I've gone and done my own company logos for the two fictional institutions:



LexCorp was founded as an aerospace firm, so I made the logo reflect that. I've based it on the logos belonging Hoover, General Electric, and Lucky Goldstar.



The Wayne Enterprises logo is wryly based on Batman's suit emblem and also the Thorn Industries logo from The Omen trilogy.
