Thank you very much for taking the time...Hi Edgar,<br /><br />Thank you very much for taking the time to look over my blog and leave a comment!<br /><br />In regards to your work....well to be honest it does look like student work and the reasons are that it's a bit stiff in both design and expression/flow/energy/pose and i'm not saying that to bring you down but rather to let you get an idea on what you can improve.<br /><br />First before anything think and ask yourself what you want to do as a career in art, do you want to be a character designer? storyboard artist? animator? etc and then focus ( and i mean like 110% ) on that one aspect alone ( don't exclude other things but more or less focus on the core of what you're doing ) i say this because often times students want to be good at "everything" and it's never a good route to go since it never really works out well and it's impossible...no one will hire someone who's just "ok" at everything instead of being a pro in one or two things.<br /><br />my advice to you is to loosen up in drawing...get sketchy man! studios love to see rough work over polished any day ( as far as i've heard from them ) and almost any artist prefers roughs to clean polished work since you can "see" how you work out your drawings and designs.<br /><br />The anatomy study is always good but it feels lost on a cartoony character like you've done below ( if you want to do that sorta thing do it more like tarzan style for example )also be sure to have a long look over other artists blog/sites/etc and really try and figure out what you like about their work...and try and find ways to include that into your work ( not copy but bring in that element...either it be a line style or coloring etc )<br />play around more with shapes and expressions, also try drawing faster ( like try getting a drawn done under 2mins or less ) this will force your mind/hand to work out on the basics and not rely on details.<br />things i think your doing very well so far is BG work and color, now try and combine character and BG within a scene ( like a conceptual piece )<br />other then that listen and read as many things as you can from other artists ( like characterdesign.blogspot.com has some great interviews and so on )there is animation podcasts and stuff as well out there so open your eyes to as many styles and films/shorts/tv shows as possible and never get stale.<br /><br />Hope my advice helps and feel free to ask me anything in the future man.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Ds~Dan szilagyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067411015422381461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636840324026526796.post-51913375033316689162009-09-25T22:40:39.586-07:002009-09-25T22:40:39.586-07:00With your character work be careful of even spacin...With your character work be careful of even spacing.

You h...Hey Edgar-<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog!<br /><br />You have some really nice stuff going on here, but I definitely agree with Hans up there as well. <br />Some of the more "cleaned up" stuff tends to lose a little bit of it's life. <br />It looks like you're doing a lot in illustrator (at least some of the character stuff looks that way). <br />I'd say play around a little more in Photoshop or Painter, where you can get a little more variety in brushes, and you can keep a little more of that "sketchy" energy.<br /><br />But overall, your headed in a good direction.<br /><br />If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to answer.<br /><br />Take care, and keep up the good work!Tim Heitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618581345248082281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636840324026526796.post-38151525808386565062009-09-24T15:56:45.346-07:002009-09-24T15:56:45.346-07:00Great Stuff man!

First of all, let me start by saying t...Hey Edgar,<br /><br />First of all, let me start by saying that you're doing the right thing, by reaching out to fellow artists asking for feed back. Number one rule for any aspiring artist, is to not be afraid of critisism, but to seek and embrace it. You definitely have some really good stuff to work with, but I think you need to loosen up a bit when drawing. You got some great designs and I like your style, it just seems a little stiff. Try to be more organic in your lines and not worry about cleaning it up, cause that will often kill the energy of an otherwise good drawing. I can see that you're doing both character design, environments, clean up and color. I think you should find out which you enjoy doing the most and then put all your time towards it and perfect your skill in that area. You can be a jack of all trades and master of none, but when you're trying to break in to the industry, it's definitely best to master either charcater design, environment design, storyboarding etc. The competition is tough, so you can't afford "wasting" time on trying to do it all.<br />I hope you see this as an encouragement and not a discouragement. If you have a specific piece you'd like me to go over, then please don't hesitate to ask. I have learned a lot from others by asking and will be happy to pass on the knowledge, if you promise to do the same, when someday someone is asking you:)<br /><br />-HansHanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991471941821193929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636840324026526796.post-83899510611047924832009-09-23T03:15:40.573-07:002009-09-23T03:15:40.573-07:00Wow!
