I've started to do an environment study everyday :3 Without using the pipette tool xD (And with photos as reference xD But I guess that's obvious anyway? xD Isn't it? I don't know xDD But I guess studies are always with references, aren't they?)

Whatever, here are my studies of the last few days :3

Hey :D
Thanks for the answer x)
I know that I have to draw even when I'm not motivated and I really try to do so D: I draw at least one sketch a day but try to do more. Perhaps I'll do everyday studies as a routine (Like painting a picture in photoshop and figuring out why it is the way it is, like light and shadows or the perspektive or the pproportions :) )

I think it's the pose or the model D: It's not every time but often. So perhaps it could work if I'm searching in the internet for references for the 1 or 2 hour studies :) Worth trying I guess :D

Thanks a lot x) Yes I think so too :3

Okay, that really sounds logical x'D Guess I do 30 second gestures more often then :) Perhaps I get the feeling of learning something later :)

I'm not so sure about this xD I want to draw different characters and environments :) Because I really want to go to an university here to study game art xD And I want to do character and environment design ^^ Well I would love to do every art related stuff for games xD But characters and environments are the ones I'm interested in the most ^^
And I really want to draw different looking characters xD With different nose types, different eyes, different jaws xD I want to draw characters who are really looking different... because I've seen a lot of great artists with really great characters but many of them aren't feeling so much different... D: And I clearly don't want this to happen to my characters too D:

I have some new sketches I've made the last few weeks (or days xD Not sure XD)
First ones are only faces from imagination :)
This one is more realistic I guess.... at least I tried to draw it in a more realistic way xD

And these are more.. mangaish... xD I don't know if it's manga anymore but I think so :) I like to draw manga but not so much anymore xD It's more something I do when I want to relax while drawing ^^ It's from imagination too but the character is from a game :3 I really love him XD (Harvey from stardew valley)

here is a landscape I was drawing at night as a birthday present for my dad :3 But I really have to practice a lot for environments... 'cause I haven't drawn a lot of these until now... I guess I could count them with the fingers of my two hands xD And if I want to do environment designs for games I really should practice more of these D: Any tipps for practicing this kind of stuff?

(Link looks a bit different because it's from my facebook page xD)
Then the next one, was a 1 hour practice (in photoshop, so it's a digital painting) :) The proportions aren't the same as on the reference picture... the guy was way more handsome xDD

And the last one was a study (digital too) I was painting while doing something different xD So I don't really know how long I was drawing... but it was way longer then the one above xD A few hours I guess :) Clearly not perfect but I was really proud about it XD But... I'm always glad if I get critique, so feel free to criticize my pictures :3 It's hard to get better without critique :D

I should say, I haven't picked the colors by myself and used the pipette tool u.u I think that's not so good, at least if I want to learn how to choose the correct colors... I'll try to do it without the next time but I was always thinking about the colors I got with the tool xD I was often surprised how dark they were..

Sooo first of all I should warn you about my "not so good" english :'D But I hope it's all understandable :3 (Feel free to correct me xD I should improve my command of English anyway xD)

Well, like the title is telling you, I need some advice and critique :) I really want to improve the fastest I can and I don't know... I don't think I'm improving fast enough xD
I tried to do the classic mode of the practice tools (for gestures I think) but these 30s drawings really aren't my way of doing this... I don't have the feeling to learn anything from them D: The 2 minute sketches are working better for me I think :) Another problem for me with the classic mode is, I get bored really fast with the 1 hour and 2 hour drawings... I don't know... I don't have a problem with drawing 1, 2 or even more hours on a picture but I do have one if it's a pose or something I'm copying from a photo >.< Because like I said, it bores me to fast :/ And I can't draw concentrated if I'm bored by the picture I'm drawing D:
Perhaps someone have some advice or different practice tipps for me? :)

So next point :D I would be glad about some critique for my last drawings :3
First one is from the middle of february, most of the pictures where drawn from imagination. I only had some references for the steampunk glasses and the clothes of the girl :)
http://abload.de/img/20160310_200502l8syx.jpg
Next one is completely without references and I was practicing different nose types from imagination :)
http://abload.de/img/20160310_200524akstl.jpg
This one is from imagination too. except for the hands (wich aren't fully on the picture... xD). I userd my own ones as reference. And the two faces in the right and up corner were inspired by a sketch from another artist.
http://abload.de/img/20160310_200533sls29.jpg
So here on the left page, the heads are from imagination too and the poses on the right page are 2 Minute sketches (per pose) (I think they are all from yesterday)
http://abload.de/img/20160310_200603urspb.jpg
these are all 2 minute sketches from yesterday aswell :)
http://abload.de/img/20160310_2006142ms37.jpg
2 minute sketches from yesterday and one 30s sketch from today
http://abload.de/img/20160310_2006308nsne.jpg
and last the rest of my sketches from today :) on the left side from the classic mode (30minutes), I've made a note of the time I had per pose.
The one down in the middle is a 2 minute sketch, just like all of the sketches on the right side :)

So I hope I could get some critiques, advice and practice tipps from you ^^ Would be really happy about it :) And I hope my english isn't to bad... I'm sure there are a lot of mistakes... xD
