Walpknut's somewhat Improved Chicken Scratches.

[Walpknut]

So, previously I uploaded a bunch of drawings I was doing with my recently acquired Wacom. Now I think I have improved somewhat.
I have been practicing with the anatomy and Spaces.

First on for Backgrounds and characters on them. No much but I am already getting to not just having characters in blank spaces.


And now have a bunch of characters on Blank Spaces.













And a Muppet.



Just wanted to share some of the stuff. All of the previous characters are gonna appear on the first Chapter of a Comic I am working on to get drawn (hopefully) by July.

So, if you want to leave feedback of any kind is very much welcome

Awesome character studies. I totally love the muppet.

 

[Walpknut]

Thanks Alec. There is another Muppet, but that one will be revealed when the Omnidirectional Mike finally gets shipped.

Being doing some more stuff, Mostly practicing Color. Still a long way to go on that front.
In order....




And this is the first Fully digital character I have done, most of them come from a Pencil and paper base:

And a scheme for a comic page

Like them all, especially the Fin and Jake one. Started watching that show after someone told me it's actually a world based on a Post-Nuclear Apocalypse on Earth. I watched the couple episodes where they show how it happened (For example, that one bomb which ended up releasing the Necro guy) and the Ice King trying to stop the bombs. Cool show. But back on topic, cool drawings man.

Well, here is another Batch. I have been practicing with the shading and the like.
In order:

Your earlier works are great. Valiant and the bearded guy above him are clean, detailed and well shadowed. The muppet is my favourite drawing by far, the character is fluid and expressive looking and would be perfect for cartooning. Your model/action sketches are also interesting and expressive.

The new drawings have this shadow effect that looks very blurred/gausian, I think a combination of this appearance and the shadows not fitting the direction of light make the drawings themselves look less good than they actually are.

Reasonably well shadowed, clean:

Direction of the light seems unclear:

Constructive criticism, I think it's good stuff.

Thanks, I am still strugglign with the shading thing. Mostly focusing on the technique for the shadows. Gotta practice more on it.
