Too bad I don't know a camera around the house… I need it to show my drawings.
I do all my work on a piece a paper.
I know it's a bad drawing, but tell me again when your device goes into full derp mode.

Well, since I finally got something finished after a long break, I thought I might show it to you guys as well. (yes, I've been here every day, but just haven't posted anything)

I drew this as a (late) christmas present for my girlfriend, since she wanted a pic of Draven from League of Legends. Too bad this also shows my inexperience with male characters, since many features from my female characters obviously carried over.

I would've preferred this if he would've been more of a badass and crazy looking, but I guess she doesn't mind a bishie Draven. Oh well…

It's not "Draven", its DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEN.

I just downloaded Qubicle and this is my first project with it, an epic voxel sword.

Here is the pixel version I did for this with GIMP and exported it to Qubicle

Thank you for that, Jostin.

Now, on topic, I haven't really done traditional art in a really long time (though I've noticed KYM users favor my traditional over digital)

I'm still getting used to a graphics tablet and art programs, I've made stuff like this

It isn't too bad, but it ain't too good either, I know. I actually just recently migrated from using Sketchbook Pro for Tablets (which started crashing a lot lately) in which I made clearer and simpler images such as this thing I made for All Levels at Once

I'm still trying hard to learn digital painting. I mean, I'm just 15, and seeing my 13 year old friend being good at it is quite discouraging. Then again, she had a Wacom since she was 10. Digressing, digital art to me is much simpler than trad – no creases, no scanning, and a ton more functions at my disposal. But if anyone could offer me advice or an opinion, please do so.

@Hurdy

The best advice you could ever receive is to just keep practicing. Draw all the time whenever you get the urge and just keep honing your skills.

When you feel comfortable with your current ability, push yourself harder. Make something more grandeur than everything else you've made before. If you constantly draw things you find difficult to draw, you'll find that they become easier with more knowledge and experience.

You're also already critical of yourself. That's good. You are your best teacher. Teach yourself what you're doing right and find ways to do them better. Of course, going to art school or undergoing an art program in a college helps too, but most of what you learn is what you teach yourself.

If you want a specific way to challenge yourself, draw some scenery; an actual, bona fide background. This is just about as hard and time-consuming as drawing a character and you will learn a lot from doing this.

As for my opinion, I think you're already a pretty good artist. You just have to remember to practice, practice, practice and in due time, you'll be a greater artist.

Thank you for the thoughts.
I do intend to take an art program, and yes, learning things on my own and in advance wouldn't hurt at all.
I'll continue to practice on the more basic things such as anatomy, perspective, and whatnot, but I will keep in mind to do a lot of practice as well on backgrounds and landscapes. I've studied a few background painting techniques before, and I hope that I would be able to incorporate them well enough as for them to not go to waste.
I will continue to practice, on the things I find easy but even more on that which I do not do frequently. Once again, thank you for the advice.

Apologies. I'd really like to post a few works here every now and then because I lack the dedication to keep my own threads alive. Well, at least we could bring this thread back to life.

Here's a couple of characters from The Bedfellows (which apparently I have recently gotten into), which I've attempted to draw only using a single type of brush on a single size and setting. It was pretty complicated but fun nonetheless.

Neat thread, I didn't even know it existed. So here:



And of course this abomination:
