Hi,
I'd like to share these drawings with you before I disappear from these forums permanently. These are pretty old, I've done them in 2007, but I still appreciate any comments or criticism. I used black marker pens, colour pencils and paint shop pro(and a digital camera...). I used screenshots as examples(except for the ritualist).
Thanks

The ranger needs her jaw defining abit more, looks like she's got a flat face, else theyre pretty good.

Those are great drawings, as you asked for critique, here it is.

When i talk about right and left, its from the perspective of the person in the drawing.
I dont know of its just me, but the monks left breast seems slightly smaller, or a slightly diferent shape to her right one.
The foot needs a bit more defining, where does her leg become her foot, where is her ankle?

As jiggles said, the rangers jaw needs definition. The hair also doesnt seem quite right.
Her left index finger is oddly shaped.

Your elementalists neck seems grey in colour.

On your friends elementalist, you should add more depth to the crystals, make them look more 3D. Also if you look at the armour, the stones/crystals come out of the armour, rather than just resting on it (best way i could explain it, take a look at the armour and you might undertsand.)

Few anatomy problems as stated, mainly the hands from what I can see.

Good stuff though.

Thank you very much for the comments Drawing a human body is hard, especially feet and hands. I tried to make pictures better with PSP based on your advice. If you're interested check the first message.

I wasn't sure what to do with the monk's ankle and the ranger's jaw though. But I tried. I hope she doesn't look bearded. I also tried make her hair prettier.

I also added a pic of my mesmer I found.

For the ankle, make a shaded semi circle ring to show the bottom of the ankle, then highlight a bit above to show the top of the ankle.
As for the jawbone, i have no idea, i suppose just look very carefully at the way light falls on the in game carachters jaw.

I think the mesmers eye area seem in a sort of evil expression, which doesnt seem right if she's waving, im not sure on a fix, maybe play around with the angles of the eyebrows?, also Her right eye seems like its looking right out of its corner, whereas the other eye is centred.

Thanks for praises and advice. I made the mesmer's expression gentler.

I love your attention to detail on all the armors you've done. You should try doing a dynamic pose sometime (one that isn't already a gw animation). I'd like to see how they'd come out

I'm seeing vast improvement from your earlier works in this latest one, and I really like the rit's face and the coloring on the portrait. I do feel that something's off, though. I think you may need to shorten the torso and lengthen the calves - the legs look a bit truncated. Get that fixed, and I think you've got some great potential!
