that looks cool :) I like it, especially for a first one.

As for other stuff to draw, well good practice to just draw lots and lots of characters like that in different poses.

Another few little sketches, one guy trying to swat a fly and another guy trying to open a Jar :)

I do alot of drawing like that in my animation class, but its quite hard to get it right, if people are too tight together its hard to see what they are trying to do. Im just trying to get some practis in, need to get in to a habbit of drawing alot lighter.

Sweet stuff.

A question though. When people say 'i did this using only photoshop', do they use a graphics tablet aswell?

I quite like the guy with the fly swatter, he got a nice sketchy feel to it but im not to sure on the jar guy, he dosnt really flow enough :( ill give it another go.

Maybe if people wanna give me some actions i can try and pose some of my little cartoon men doing it, will be quite fun and i can get some pracsic at the same time. And sorry for all the typos, abit drunky atm :laugh:

lol I could do that whenever i wanted! ;)

Seriously It'd be good practice to put your character in the 'drunk' position.

The zombie looks cute until you look closer at the face, cool side effects to sketching loosely like that, trying to duplicate it perfectly never seems to work. :(

Yea i totaly agree, i used to draw really slow and it never came out that well, drawing fast always makes my drawings flow alot more. Defo the way to go for drawing.

nice one stormy. you may want to make it look less sketch like, as in i feel youve got too many pencil strokes. i personally do sketches like that all the time but i start to rub out lines, and then go over them in a black pen that is relatively thick. makes it look cartoony and the detail really sticks out

Got a cople of pics that i done in painter, First guy is called Kaine (http://img214.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img214&image=kaine4cf.jpg) he was done in my charater design class and was painter in painter when i got home, he was designed for a beat um up game :) kind of a cyborge kung fu monk. The second is an Ork Face (http://img205.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img205&image=orkface1te.jpg) Origanaly sketched out on lined paper and then drawn in and coloured on the tablet. I dont think the drawing is to great, some sections are abit ott and its pritty hard to comprohend what the hell is going on. But im really quite pleased with the painting of the characters.

Sorry about any tyos and stuff, kinda just got back in form a night out so im quite quite drunk :)
