Beastking

All inhabitants of the caves must tribute their beast king with precious things. They send their slaves to present the gold to the beast king. If the beast king doesnt appreciate the offer, he will instead take the life of his master's slave for compensation.

This is the best I can make at the present, but Im far from happy with it. I just wasnt able to make a convincing light source/shadows. The light should be coming from the cave entrance to the left, but somehow my rocks and such always like smeared.

The picture reminds me a bit Platon's Caveallegory.

The cave looks not that bad but the people's anatomy looks very odd. But keep on working, i guess its not that bad for a beginner's work. :)

is that dude with no lower legs shitting feet?
Dude...what can I say, I'm a little disappointed of you. I tried to tell you how to improve, but from the looks of this I think for some reason you ignored me. Oh well, at least I tried.

I suppose you had a similar disappointment from me, no?

You should find some tutorial about human anatomy (I suggest you this one, it's simply and without bootless details)

anatomy is really odd, I can't give you a link to an anatomy tutorial (cause I'm brazilian and I just have tutorials written in portuguese =P), but the one redneck pointed out seems very nice, you should try following that.

I know, I have hurried with the human because I didn't have much time left. -actually I did him in 2mins. But to prove you that I HAVE improved, I will draw a proper good looking human, right? (this was one of the pics I have drawn for admission to university for applied sciences..its more of a technical branch of study)

Edit: Lol so odd...I have several books about drawing anatomy, but the tutorial link you gave me is better than all of them...wasted money >_<.

can't wait...
oh, and sorry but not having enough time is the lamest excuse. If you really know how to draw a human, you can make a perfect looking sketch in under 1 minute. Trust me, I've been around people who could draw my entire life.

Rofl.

TDR u cant be more wrong. Speed is a matter of practice. Im not drawing often, thats why Im slow. But I still know how to do it properly with enough time to think about.

Well, there is not any conquest or something, so I can't see why you can't wait with posting for now, and finish it after you will have enough of time O_o

Don't tell me I'm wrong, ok? I know exactly what I'm talking about. Practice in speed only results in a more polished drawing, but you can make a perfectly proportioned silhouette with very few lines very, very quickly if you know what you're doing.

Okay, so if it takes me 5mins to draw a proportionally right stick figure, and it takes you 1min, what does that tell us ? The result is the same, but you're faster because of practice.



I trust you do. But you don't know what I'm talking about as it seems.

Dude, what I'm trying to say it's something different. You say (example) that it takes you 5 minutes and it'll take me 1 minute for the same thing. What I say is that if you knew anatomy you would do it in 1 minute too, only less polished, because as I said practice in speed only increases the accuracy of the line and nothing else. The knowledge level is what matters.

Okay, you are absolutely right. My level of anatomy knowledge is obviously far too low, I'll work on it. Next time Ill post in the sketch dump.
