    The capitol, looks a bit out of kilter. The dimensions, proportions, balance and symmetry need a little work. Your runner is a great interpretive piece as is the juke box. Stay with it, you definitely have some promising talent!

    I agree with Martini. It looks promising. Right now you seem to be doing the majority of your shading w/crosshatch. Time and practice will get you better and more confident in your shading abilities.

    Here is one of my drawings in the beginning stages (not much detail added yet) and just the preliminary shading. What you will see is that I go in first and add all the darkest shadows, leaving the rest untouched. Next I will go in and add a more even layer of shadowing to the entire drawing since flesh is never pure white. The result will be the sections of the picture that are currently shaded will be darker because they contain 2 layers of shading.


    Below this are a two of my older, finished drawings that give a good example of shading.



    I have found the human body is the best place to practice shading. All of the subtle shadows and curves lend themselves to some beautiful shading.

    You should check out the link below. It is an artist's community and they have lessons, advice, every resource you could imagine. They also have a library of pictures without a copy-write that you can use as well as information on the legalities when you choose to draw something that has a copy-write.

    I started drawing in the summer of 2004 when I was 42. My daughter used to go visit her dad for 6 weeks every summer, so while she was gone I decided to take a 4 week beginning drawing class through the NEISD Adult Education Program. Then I just practiced & taught myself.
    As for pencils. I tend to use 2B, 4B, 6B & 8B. They darker as the number goes up. I am just starting with charcoal pencils this year. My drawings have always been very precise and didn't work as well with the soft lines of charcoal. This year, I challenged myself to work on looser strokes and utilizing charcoals.

    I also do a lot of work with pilot V5 & V7 precise pens and Faber-Castell Pitt black artist pens ( they come in a wide variety of sizes) xs, s, f, m, b(brush).

    The papers I use vary. For ink work, I like a heavy-weight smooth paper. I do not like the slick papers that cartoonists & manga artists like because the ink doesn't dry fast and I tend to smudge. For pencil drawings I prefer heavy-weight, medium or rough surface paper. For charcoal, heavy-weight smooth or rough, because I like how different things can look on the different textures.

    If I have time later, I'll take some pics and upload some stuff for you. Oh yeah, take a pen or pencil and a drawing pad (just get one from the dollar store) with you everywhere you go. Waiting in line or at the dr's office etc.. just start sketching and drawing. Don't worry about what comes out, just draw a line or a curve and add on from there.

    wow thanks for all the great ill use it all it looks great everything uve done ive only had a less than a year 8 months i plan to improve and learn new techniques i love it how we artist see things
    like we see shapes instead of just the things and draw from there its like a puzzle lots of pieces and litle by little and when complety amazing and all the stuff uve said wow the materials are to many i only use number 2 pencil and some pilot pen idk what theyre called its v ball point grip i think there amazing but expensive 9 bucks for two
    my shading maybe ill upload one of pic of later
    but my teacher says the style she likes and its kinda like an 80s or 90s style idk what she means but she says its unique and likes it lol
    and the drawing pad idea sounds good i have one but sometimes im afraid to draw things in real life im bearly finding out that i can be good at them but im super slow i take forever im real patient with all my artwork ill rather take a month two moths alot of time but come out good than make a mess

    Looks pretty good to me. It's a uva lot better than mouse's artwork!
    o i wanna see mouse artworks ive never seen it and thanks bro

    Don't worry, I am very slow as well. As for the portable drawing pad, The reason I say get one from the dollar store is that you won't get a block about what you want to draw. when you are using higher quality paper, you sometimes get artist's block because you don't want to mess up the picture and waste money. With cheap paper, you don't care and will step outside the box and try new stuff. Then if you like something you do, you can always do it later on better paper.

    hahah totally get you yeah i have one and will probably buy more in the future of that kind of drawing pads
    but when i make a painting shading or materials i dont mind wasting money thats not a problem because good artwork costs money and the quality comes out better


    here is one example of one of my shading i did this in the summer in normal white printing paper the one you use for the computer right now i dont own it i gave it to a freind as a gift with a basic number 2 pencil

    agh i hate giving my artwork only special freinds or ppl can get it
    although ppl have told me to sell stuff
    i telll them i only do it with my hear and passion i dont it do it for money or selling i think i would loose the passion of it if i would get money from it

    and here is one i did a while back in 8th grade 5 minutes its a sketch but funny and cool

    Nice work. How long have you been drawing. Sorry if you've already answered this. The Coliseum would be a nice one to tackle. I often go to www.deviantart.com You'll find some inspiration there.
    wow thanks for the advice maybe ill do it it sounds interesting and fun but i bet its hard but dont worry im try it probably now i gotta google a good pic lol
    o yeah i always go there tons of artist and good ideas thanks for the info anyways

    You'll never fail in surprising yourself in art. Five years from now, you'll cringe at what you're doing today. Continue to challenge that creative spirit.
    yeah ill remember your words man that inspired me
    everyone says words similar to ures
    i used to do art in middle school etc but till last year
    when this teacher told me just do it and do it practice the value scale
    and belive in ureself and start seeing extra stuff and not just easy and the best of all advice be patient u never know how much time ones drawing will takes time
    i love doing it
    sometimes i get lazy
    but little by little im learning to love and has become a new hobby
    i dont ever think ill become a great amazing artist but im good better than average im just gonna improve practice and do my best learn everything i can
    but selling is one thing idk if ill ever do

    Good stuff, although I do agree with 2Blonde about the cross-hatching. Have you worked with charcoal before? Either that or working with some softer leads that you can blend might help if you're looking to expand past your current technique.

    One of my favorite things to do when practicing my drawing was to focus a lot on figure drawing. It teaches a lot about quickly interpreting the negative and positive space, which will help your drafting to become more accurate and efficient.
