Nah, her head's fine. Your red line puts the chin too high. The bear's arm isn't where her face stops. In any case, I drew her head first before drawing the bear. The obstruction just causes the illusion, because I had to go back and double check after I put the bear in. I looked at your blue line, and you're right about the chin. My red line puts her chin too high, which really just says that I was using the red line in a rather frivolous manner (red lining should be use in a corrective manner, I was using it to prove a point). That being said, it doesn't change the fact that the left ear seem too far from the face. Your blue line only reinforces that; as now I know that you did this deliberately. Well, if you really think it looks fine, then I won't say any more. |

The facial ratio is off.
midbrow to chin in the image in question is about equal to right (from our perspective) lateral aspect of the palpebral fissure to ear.
Brow to chin is like 1/3rd longer than lateral fissure to ear.

The facial ratio is off. Brow to chin in the image in question is shorter (or equal) to right (from our perspective) lateral aspect of the palpebral fissure to ear. In human faces, it's the opposite: brow to chin is longer than lateral fissure to ear. I suppose that's a good measurement to keep in mind. Regardless of it possibly being technically off, I'm satisfied with the resulting look. I like drawing "squishy-looking" children. :` |

But IMHO, shortening that distance by bringing the ear forward would do wonders for an otherwise pleasing composition. No more nitpickery from me. Mura is better at this  |

Illustration sketchbook entry #8. The character was actually inspired by a cute girl in my life drawing class that wore these black and lime green stereo headphones while she drew.  |

 Illustration sketchbook entry #12. I've been playing Majora's Mask again lately, and sometimes I just think "Man, I'm taking these next three days off." So yeah, this is basically Link at Romani Ranch screwing around on a particularly lazy 3 day vacation. Heck, why not, right? With the same three days continually repeating, he's got all the time in the world for hero work.   Illustration sketchbook entry #13. Krillin's had enough of this shit. I love how the attitude came through in this one.  Illustration sketchbook entry #14. A fanart of 9, from 9 (short film or feature film). The design of his lightbulb staff actually changes between the short film and the feature film. The new design isn't bad, but I decided to use the original design because I'm particularly fond of it.  Illustration sketchbook entry #15. An overdue farewell/tribute pic to FFXI, the world of Vana'diel, and my Tarutaru Inaaca. A little simple and rough, though I may come back and give it some color when I get more time later. |

If you missed it, Illustration sketchbook entry #16 is posted in the request thread. Here are some more, though.  Illustration sketchbook entry #17. This resulted from a spark of inspiration after attending a presentation by Eric Goldberg during his visit to CSU Fullerton. The key here is full body expression, clear silhouette, and recognizable posing.  Illustration sketcbhook entry #17. Lagann, of course.   And these last two (Illustration sketchbook entries 19 and 20) were random character quickies I did to fill out that week of the sketchbook. |

More illustration sketchbook entries! These are entries 21-25.  How I felt over the course of the last week. I feel much better as of today, though.  I felt like creating a random creature, and this is what popped out.  You may recognize this from my doodles, the robot design that spawned a new series of robots that's still getting created.  Sonic the Hedgehog, naturally. Probably the only thing more iconic of his character besides speed, is his love of chili dogs. I'm surprised I hadn't drawn Sonic earlier though, actually.  These are three characters that exist in "Jerry Format" that represent different fragments of my personality. They are Jerry (middle), Earl (right), and G3RR-E (left), and they were created over the years in that order. If you're curious about the details of what they represent, feel free to ask. |

That guy's got one impressively stiff throwing arm.  |

I was really starting to wonder if anyone was even looking at my stuff anymore. Thanks for the comment, man.

Well I like your art. I just can't elaborate every time to say that I appreciate it so I don't say nothing at all. But trust me, your art is viewed and appreciated. Also, should his arm really be that stiff? Just wondering, cause it seems like he's got a plank under that sleeve. If he does, then the drawing is just fine, if he doesn't however, aren't natural throwing motions more curved?

I tend to think of the arm during a throw as a pendulum. If I try to do a throwing motion on my own, my arm is pretty rigid during most of the throw and moves in an arc (like a pendulum). It bends on the windup and maybe at the very end during the recoil.
Now, you may have a point about putting a little bend in the arm at this point in the throw creating a bit of a more natural look. However, I was trying to put emphasis on the force that was being put behind the throw, and I think a bent arm would end up causing a decreased sense of force.
I was trying to find some sort of frame-by-frame throwing motion because I'm not 100% sure either way, but I couldn't find anything. :\
Heh, it's good to know that someone is still watching though, heh. Thanks again.

Mura doesn't check the boards anymore, so that takes down our active members to you, me, Vamp, Googly, and MW. So that leaves four people to post on your stuff, and I would have nothing to say greater than "spiffy". I wouldn't be expecting any great density of posts any time soon unless we somehow get more members. |

Shane and Anta were pretty much the only "art savvy" people I had commenting on my art, and now they're both up and gone without warning? Not to diminish my appreciation of everyone else's comments, of course. |

Not to diminish my appreciation of everyone else's comments, of course. Exactly. I don't know why, but he hasn't logged on to his account since Sept 4th (for Shane July 16th). This doesn't mean they don't lurk, but whatever the case may be, the boards have atrophied a bit because of decreased activities of one of its main contributors. I would have liked at some point in time to get new members (le gasp!), but as our members have been nothing but our circle, and we've been having trouble hanging on to them (re: dragoon, Blighton, hell, even Sara's sisters) as far as posting. However, we do have guests, some of which have IPs in familiar ranges. I'm sure if we, the active faction, post enough, we'll get enough momentum to get them back into the fold, and maybe, just maybe, expand our numbers a bit, and thus generate more discussion. A positive feedback loop, of sorts. You know, "if we post it, they will come". So don't get discouraged just yet, let's give it the ol' college try. |

Maybe those were just the good old Golden Days. We did have some Golden Gaytimes after all.
