A Spell Breaker (hand-drawn)

Here he is, drawn in 15-30 minutes by pencil and outliner pen ...

Nice.. Your a good drawer, but those legs are too short..

I was thinking of him having those proportions, but thanks for your approval :)

Your drawing gives me a perfect reason to promote pre-sketching.

While it's obvious that you're capable of detail and creating interesting lines, I get the feeling that you worked on one part at a time, instead of on the whole. The disproportion of the head to the torso to the legs seems to suggest that there is a break in focus between the three.

In order to improve the proportions on your subsequent works, I strongly urge you to pre-sketch: to quickly rough out the overall shape of the figure before putting down details.

The presketch allows you to work all the proportion issues right away, so you don't have to worry about them as you proceed with the time consuming work of detailing. Some artists pre-sketch by penciling the form lightly, then going over it again, but I prefer pre-sketching with a colored pencil. It allows you to seperate the pre-sketch from the finished work as well as allows you to remove the pre-sketch once you have the image in digital form (you isolate the color of the colored pencil and remove it).

Remember, presketches need to be quick. You should be able to flesh out the form in a few minutes.

Finally, I really like the detail you put into the face, especiall the ears and the wings on both the face and shoulders. You captured the curves of the feathers quite well.

EDIT: Having seen your second post, I think that the reason why it might seem out of proportion is because the legs seem "thin". When figures are crunched down like that, I've found the most pleasing shape is a triangular (actually trapizoidal) with the base resting solidly on the ground of the character's feet.

Also, having noted that you drew in pencil and went over it in pen, I want to say that the pencil work is not necessecarily a pre-sketch. Pre-sketching focuses strictly on form. Getting down the angle of the scene and the shapes of the things in it

Never trust people who draw pencil sketches - they are an incarnation of the devil!

Was this supposed to be drawn from an angle? because at a certain point, you feel like you're staring at two picture halves pasted together - his hands and legs are rather small, with no apparent reason as to why.
