Well, I'm not one to turn away constructive criticism so I'll keep that in mind, but I advise you to tone down the douche next time you give a tip. You know, start with civility then work your way to the lowest common denominator. Its a process.

hey man, it's how i learnt, my mentor had about as much tact as a message tied to a cinderblock fired from a trebuchet when she critiqued my work. Just paying it forward. :P

Custom is to present the issue, then draw all over the original picture as if the artist doesn't understand what you're talking about, then accuse them of not giving two shits about anatomy. As I said, its a process.

Not an excuse not to tweak my style here, but my professor did tell me that I did successfuly exagerate certain body parts to make my characters look quircky. Not everything is good to go, like breasts as you pointed out, but the long heads seem to be a success wherever I ask. This is actually the first time I recieved a complaint about them.

The difference here is you aren't his mentor, you're just trying to get under his skin and score brownie points with chat.

*Hardy round of applause*

I for one think that, well, normal sized boobs would have looked weird. The whole character design is elongated, regular boobs give her a midriff comparable to a giraffe's neck. I mean, every tip on the "rework" was "too long". I mean, yes yes yes BLAMING YOUR STYLE IS LAME and all that, but I might as well look at Turn's work and go "too hairy". Everything is *consistently* longer, its not a hippo butt with a weasel torso and a hamster head, so I don't see what the big whoopdeedoo is

So, my critique, I think it actually works pretty good, and the hand on the right gripping the pipe actually really works, its not easy drawing a hand holding something, and, you know, making it look like its holding something, its just the other hand which looks a little blocky/scribbly, hell I'd say since this is pencil, just try and fix that, because my eye really kept getting drawn to it cause it really contrasts to the level of quality in the rest of the drawing.

it's not the size, it's the placement. Even if you elongate everything, the waist is still about where the elbows are if your arms hang at your sides, and boobs don't go at the waist. So no, he's NOT making everything "consistently" longer. It's not the size it's where they go.

Boobs don't go there! I have them! they go where pecs on a dude go! those are like, not boobs, just the ends of her ribcage pointing out! If they are boobs, they are the saggiest boobs on the planet! Like those women in the amazon who have never worn bras, ever, and walk around topless. If you're going to stretch out and elongate everything, do it to EVERY body part EQUALLY otherwise you end up with this thing with the huge gorilla forearms and the rib-ends and the "hips what are those girls don't have butts lol" and the "skull? no inside her head is just a balloon that I covered with skin and then drew features on"

oh wow I went off on a rant.

so... yeah...

I have already admitted that breasts is an area where I need to improve, so ranting on it is a bit unnecessary and redundant.

Admitedly, I've always found that character especially difficult to pull off well in this regard because of her outfit.

I don't see what's wrong with the breast placement. It goes well with his style.

You should remedy that. Go look at pictures of womens' breasts and then draw them. Look at LOTS of pictures.... :twisted:
