This is a drawing I drew about over a week ago. I just desided to share it, because i'm still looking for publicity.

This picture was mostly just a practice sketch. I wasn't really trying that hard, And that's why you can find alot wrong with it. I'm still following a discustingly large amounts of tutorials.

Oh, and don't worry about Swordian Chatier's Blade. It's supposed to cruve foward like that.

Now thats starting to look better http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif I can see your already starting to improve! so thats a good thing!

I will put some tips in the spoilerbox, if you fee like reading it.

[spoiler-box]

* The (for us) left hand/arm looks good, so good job on that one http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif. Now the right one is a bit to roundly cruved. Your hand only bends at the joint in the wrist. Something that helps is to first draw every part of the hand seperatly, and eventually connect al the parts.
* The (for us) right arm just starts to grow out of his waiste. I know what you are trying to draw, but it impossible to keep your arm completly behind your back. Especially the right shoulder should stick out a bit more, and part of the upperarm should be visible.
* I see you lines are a bit wobbly. Thats probably because your drawing your linework to much zoomed out. For ultra clean lines I recommand to do the lining on 200% zoom. Also since you got a tablet, you can put more dynamic in the folds in the clothes. The lines of the folds are to fat at the start and the end of the lines.
* When shading folds, think carefully why there are folds and how does the light make them visible. Right now there is shade on both sides of the folds, which is impossible. Also try to use brushes with lower opacity to shade the clothes. Right now I can see the actually shape of the brush on the begin/end of the shaded fold. You can fix this by erasing the brush strokes a bit at the beginning and the ending. Also don't forget that when you use a burn layer for the shading, you have to erase by using a white brush.

* I can see the JPG compression artifacts http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif try to save in photoshop with JPG on quality 12, since Deviant art recompresses your art.
