Description I LOVE THIS DRAWING!!! I think it's the best I've done yet. Many thanks to my friend Savannah for making the outline of the dragon for me (I'm not the best at small dragons yet), otherwise the drawing was 100% by me. No tracing, no reffering to other things. The story behind this drawing is that this young adventurer *points to the girl lying on the tree root* and her dragon are out on their first adventure, but are at a loss for evil things to conquer or people to single-handedly save. They aren't heros yet, shown by the rough stitching on the saddle (a heroine would have a nicer saddle, don't you think?), the simple clothing of the girl, and the fact that the dragon is a bit over-weight. I mean, would a heroine's dragon be a bit fat? NO! He/she would be too busy fighting and taking her/his rider to troubled villages to gain extra weight! The bored hero has gone with her dragon to a dark forest in hopes of slaying SOMETHING evil, even if it's just a troll or a lowly band of theives. You've got to start somewhere, right? No great meaning behind this picture, but the shading was fun!

new note: This is so old now that critique on it won't do anything for me. Comments are great, but taking the time to critique carefully would be a waste.

.... Thank you for the critique, but you should check the date on stuff before you start critique-ing it. This is over two years old. I don't draw people like that anymore and as for the dragon... well, I rarely ever even attempt them (plus a lot of the dragon was your doing). I still keep this as my featured dev because I haven't done anything better than it to date, much less anything with a backround that has anywhere near this much detail. Please, critique just like this. I love, love, love getting real critique like this, but on old pieces it does me little to no good.

Critique time!
kay, the dragons head prolly shouldn't be turned that far, it looks more real if it's not like that. The foot leaning on the tree looks like all the bones got taken out. Your trees are good, if that one in the foreground is a little bright to be in a dark forest. Also the leaves look a little too poofy and cartoony. The clothing is very unwrinkled, it looks unnatural. I can't draw clothing wrinkles... kay, the dragon's wing should be bigger, it wouldn't be able to hold up such a fatty dragon. It's hind leg looks like it's backwards or something. That might be my fault, I was still working on them back then. I like the girls eyes, don't like the dragons'. You should probably clean this up, ink it up maybe.
...sorry about the possibly harsh critique...

Thank you. I appreciate your comments. I don't feel discouraged when people give me real criticism. It's very helpful to me; I just try to improve whatever is pointed out in my next drawing.

Hey,

An Overall good picture, i like the detail of the little puf coming out of the girls mouth. I also have to agree with CheshireSagi's comment that the girls anatomy isn't the strongest point in the drawing. And i find it especially in the leg area, like the girls ankle and the breast(the arm that start next to her breast).

Keep drawing and DON'T feel discouraged by criticism, see it as learning point to improve your art.

all the best,

Mike

Okeh, first off it's a pretty good picture. Considerably for you. First off I'm going to comment that your lines are very sketchy. I draw sketchy as well, but you've got to try and clean up pictures so they don't look quite so fuzzy. Good clean lines are spiffy. Secondly your person seems to be lacking bones and muscles in some places. Her arm should mold more to her bones and muscles and be a little thicker. Also, the arm doesn't start in the middle of the boob-ish area, and I mean on the side in that area all together. Arms begin just above which also help with collar bones and arms muscles and the likes of that. Her face is wonderful although her eyes need to show a little bit more expression as to shove out there that she appears to be bored. Another thing I noted is that hair doesn't fall in pointy spikes like that. It curves around the body and falls in more strings. The only other two things that seem to stick out with me is your the fact that your girl seems to lack a neck, and that her legs seem to be out of porportion. Otherwise I think this is your best piece of artwork so far and expect to see more of it from you. I also want to know the rest of the story...so go write it you ninny! >o< Sorry, if I seemed harsh, but you said to critique!
