just some of my better things... I dont fare with harsh critique well, I know what i need to work on, simplified ideas to help me better it would really be appreciated... My style is a little on the longer side when it comes to anatomy.. Since i am not trying to be any where near realism dont try to direct me there, but i do enjoy hearing some ideas and possible suggestions are always welcome..









I have more in my gallery @ http://ivory-byrd.deviantart.com

Ok, i have horrible luck with forums for some reason, most of my threads die without a second look or comment... so i am going to add more pictures to hopefully get some opinions or some nice critique






Warning Slight Nudity

That's an interesting style you have there, and it looks good. :yes:
Just out of curiosity, what mediums do you use?

I like your style and how you experiment in each piece. You got a good handle on anatomy but your hands could use some work, which I feel are the hardest part along with the feet to draw properly. Other then that your characters all seem to have the same expression, try expanding with them. Make them angry, make them sad, happy whatever suits your fancy. Exaggerate the expression to convey the emotion better. The neutral expressions doesn't help much.

Usually I stick with photoshop and basic brushes there, when it comes to normal on paper (which i have to use now since my tablet is broken) I use multimedia going between colored pencils, various types of markers all the way to highlighters and paint.

I have trouble with that and i usually end up creating "Model" like poses a lot, thank you so much as well

Try looking up expressions on stock sites and practicing drawing them :) Its the only way to get better. Its what I do when I get bored, I gather up photographs and exaggerate the expressions.

Good work Ivory, the second one is nice and creepy :D

Beautiful stuff! I agree with SamuraiPanda's recommendation for brwosing stock sites for some inspiration, and there's ton's of stock on DeviantArt too. I happen to like that somewhat elongated look, it's nifty.

I love your use of color especially with the demon Look guy hugging the girl with rainbow long sleeves.

Wow! You're really good at drawing! And I really like the style you've done it in!

very nice artwork.i love everything!keep up the hard work
