8bit's MS Paint crap!

My DeviantART

So... can you tell I've been drawing a little more recently?

I've decided that humans aren't exactly my thing to be drawing. I've foudn myself enjoying making what strange things may exist in my head. There aren't much of them, but I hope to make a lot more of these.

So... did I get better, or is it still crap?

It's good to see that you're trying your hand at art and I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so.

However the artwork you have at this point in time is extremely simple. That's not exactly a bad thing. Your humans for example look far better than my first shot at drawing them (and arguably most recent attempts as well~). But the reason why they look like that is because you choose to use simple anatomy and expression (roundness and lack of facial detail). You're obviously choosing to stay within your limits and satisfied with drawing cutsy chibi-ish stuff. Which is fine.

I wouldn't call it crap, but some people might. Either way you can improve significantly by drawing from real life and incorporating as much detail in as possible. Remember, you have to draw realism well before you can deform it into a cartoony style and make it look good.

I'll watch you on DA. Good luck becoming a better artist. It's a long and difficult path. (not that I'm one to complain about that, I still suck lawl)

Thanks for the critique, but I find myself having more fun making up these wierd things I draw. Much more fun than drawing humans most of the time. I think I found my thing, and surely if I keep at it, it'll get better on it's own, as I've noticed it's already starting to improve, although only slightly.

I find Cate to be my favorite drawing for some reason. I don't know, she's just so... good compared to my others.

Looking good man. Keep it up.

Thanks.

EDIT: Just uploaded my first attempt at drawing a Mawile.

I hate her eyes, but they're still the best eyes I came out with, so it's enough to settle for, I guess.
