Edit: Meh fuck it I'm back into graphic arts haha~

Re: Ali's Art Thread

Indeed, you have progressed quite a bit over the time and it's great! Keep going. To touch on what Spitfire was saying, I think the idea he's trying to convey is to work more on recognizing and refining basic shapes (circles, ovals, spheres, rectangular prisms, etc.) to help better with form and execution; focusing on providing more detail in a picture and/or correct anatomy will not always grant better results if key fundamentals are missing, and, I promise you, they will help in ways that will blow your mind into the middle of... Saturn (I don't know). In any case, keep at it and never stop practicing. See each new piece as an opportunity for improvement on, at least, one thing. :}

Re: Ali's Art Thread

Style comes naturally as you progress so don't worry about that just yet. Don't make "style" a cop-out for not learning proper anatomy.
Also, don't just focus on anatomy alone. All of the core skills will complement each other. Better grasp of shapes will help you in anatomy, better grasp of perspective will help you with shapes, better grasp of anatomy will help you in perspective etc. etc. Learn them simultaneously.

I'm not that great at backgrounds and foregrounds However...I'm looking to add some detail in my works. If you look at Yoshi Summit...it's been rushed x.x Although I am okay with the result I would like to add some detail to my works :P It'll take time & practice, which I have been doing for years xDD

Re: Ali's Art Thread

Yea I've been trying to improve on Anatomy more-so lately than usual. It's complicated, but at the same time I would strive to have a unique style of my own I'm definitely going to look at some pages for anatomy though...probably by Tuesday~

Re: Ali's Art Thread

I definitely see some improvement but you need to practice your fundamentals more. And by that I mean the basics such as (but not limited to) perspective and anatomy (which aren't all that basic really, they're pretty complicated).

Towards the end, I really like your style. The shadings on Guilmon and Meganium are super sick!

First off...I have been involved with art since I was 15 years old. I have experience with Photoshop and Illustrator, but I do use C4D on occasion. Feel free to take a look, and if anybody has any Pokemon requests, please do let me know via this thread or Private Messaging. Thanks!!

I will start off with older art just so everyone has an idea with how I started.
