the arm has 2 elbows - draw realistic arms and study how the muscle fits around bone. even if your drawing cartoons, it helps. thumb should be on outside. (hold out your left and and swear like that, which way is your thumb pointing?) and if he is not searing (and it's palm forward, then there should be little separation on finders (as you have drawn) and more on wrist and hand. it has potential and i understand it's a doodle but working n general drawing skills would make your doodles look allot better --plus-- 4 more characters i did a while ago... non are very developed crits if you want

I use Adobe Illustrator CS4 takes some getting used to but I've been using it for more than a year now and I didn't go into that dry. your wasp has good form. the shape is accurate and the curves are sympathetic . I recommend that you work with a finer black for the ouline to give it more detail and control. don't bother outlining the smoke trails, find a light grey marker and use that. try doing a few that are huge (a4 or 13 sort of size) and using fine black lines to outline. this can help develop the character and give you more understanding of how it fits together. when working this size in pen, be sure to step back allot and see what it looks like overall. I've found sticking it to a flat wall with masking tape is just as good as buying an easel (except it's allot cheaper). hope this has helped
thnx alot it really helpd imma try it lyke dat nd where can idownload dat program or do i gotta buy a disk?
it's very expensive to buy. I got it for free through college this torrent should work if cracks are too much effort try http://www.inkscape.org/ it's very similar but is a fair bit simpler. plus, it's freeware
stuck the coloring is looking good. the chest/waist ratio looks a bit off though. haven't been on this site in forever...don't really know where to put stuff. View attachment 535340 View attachment 535341
At first i was like "fuck yea spawn" Then i looked at it. Not to be one of those L2ANOTOMY people but seriously, how many abs does he have there? looks like 8 so far, and thats just down to the belly button. Also the chest is way too large in comparison to the head. coloring is dope though, you might as well finish it, the cape colored would be 10x cooler if its done right, and it looks like you could do it right. Todd McFarlane has probably the coolest comic book style ive ever seen imo. good person to learn from. Just try to copy every detail when you do bite his stuff, dont try to stylize it too much. http://xrayvision.today.com/files/2009/08/spawn.jpg ^abs
good form improve your colouring get some thicker markers and make it a solid colour. the scribble-fill doesn't look nice. i mean there fine for 3 second doodles but not characters
