I doh mind u tell me is crap i just want to know what wrong with it cuz i cyah figure it out Thanks for the colourscheme tip but what would work better. This another one of my drawings that i did over maybe if u cant tell me what u see i did wrong in both other than lackin skill

i cant see the pics somehow but i i think u shud do is learn how to take drawing and properly outline them cus i can still tell its a scanner thing...and the colours on it looks kinda........
So u shud learn how to make line art ie pen tool and
Colour in line art
For the backgrounds....ummm no clue..just experiment

u asked for advice so i hope what i have to say will help.

for the second one, the only thing i can say is to probably put a slight bent or increase the size of the biceps to create elbows on the both arms and add some values, it doesn't have to fade it will look good cartoon coloured.

for the first one:

the hand on the right has the same problem as the hands on the second drawing, also the folds on the clothes, it looks like too much.
u should also try to have a point where they come from (like by the knees, crotch area ,under arms, etc.) the folds on the upper part of his body looks good, just the pants needs some work.

i hope that what said can be of help, if what i said makes sense and u want some more help, feel free to ask. if u think i'm talking crap then feel free to ignore

as for the backgrounds i'm not really good at it so like frozen said, just experiment

try adding shadow, highlights,midtones (burn tool(shadow) and dodge tool(brightness))
the drawings look cool to me...lol
its a kinda stick figure not entirely...but i fine the first pic does look cool(color a bit off and not matching) but the second one does look kinda funny

i figured that about the first one, in that case just work on the clothes and it should kick a$$

the legs on the second one dosen't make it look much like a stickman, in that case just work on the colouring, add some values and stuff

PyroSlasher · « **Reply #10 on:** August 17, 2004, 07:52:01 AM »

The colour is too dark for a dark backround.(Thats why I dont use colour.....they real frig up the drawings)Also,the face needs some work in the both of them.

I'm sorry, ShinSagat, but I'd have to agree with some of the users on this thread regarding that first picture. The colour scheme IS bad, and clashes.
On top of that, it's not really a 'stick figure' if it has THAT many details.
It only appears like one angry dude on the brink of starving to death.

One thing you should do before adding those backgrounds (and I say this for BOTH pictures) is use the Eraser tool and clean up all of those jagged white outlines that always seems to appear when you transfer an image. It will definitely appear neater and more polished that way.

Secondly, you should put more effort into shading the pictures. That bevel and emboss effect looks really HORRID in that first picture, and, with regards to the second one, he just looks really, really flat without any definition.

Thirdly, you DEFINITELY have to put some meat on those bones, and stop trying to pass those off as stickmen. A stickman is merely a circle and sticks, nothing much more than that. Your drawings are WAY too detailed to be called stickmen.
Besides which, I think you've gravitated beyond that, or at least, you should.

Fourthly, try using multiple layers to your advantage.
When you have your work ready to colour, double-click on background, change it to layer 0, duplicate the layer, change the cloned layer to 'multiply', and adjust the Brightness/Contrast for that layer until it becomes tolerable.
Also, you can use multiple layers to add effects, such as lens flares, colouring of troublesome areas and, most importantly, backgrounds.
You won't be sorry.

I look forward to seeing more in the future, but please consider the advice I've given you.

First Picture - 2/5
Second Picture - 2/5

whay allyu being vicious so
i do agree with NEO when he says stop saying they are stickmen
develop on teh for the first take that same post but doa real stick man first then build on it with cylinder layers until u get a cylinderman
then add the clothes on layers and ta da
for the second one u have to learn some muscle structure
which make take a while try drawing our avatar then put the same armor on it though i would go with a different face and it dont be discuraged man it better than teh stuff in teh stickman thread so u improving and all that important right now

looks since i dont have scanner and ill be too ong to explain
