Hey guys, I made some art for death korps of kreig, and would like to know what i can do to flip it right side up. Also CC please, here it is

Why am I not seeing it?

Use Img tags

Yeah I did and uploaded from the gallery... hmmm

Nope, you used URL tags.
By the look of it.

And by turning it around. Turn it around before you upload it?
Kinda hard to judge a drawing when its upside down. Well.. for me, haha.

Upside down, but I can see it now......
Nice.....

Well, got it now

This picture in my gallery is improved quality http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/296037-Death%20korps.html " target="_new" rel="nofollow"> http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/296037-Death%20korps.html

very good looking sketch mate!

thanks Vik!

will you make more of this kind of scene art?

Yes, My school district has an art fair, so there will be more DKOK and some chaos renegades, tanks, elysians, space marines, and more. These will also be colored with artists pencil

have you considered making a small trench scene? would love to see that^^ if you are open to suggestions that is

I would definately try to do that, a bunch of Kreigsmen lined up ready to vault over the top, like on the Seige of Vraks board!

yup, sounds interresting even now^^

Good work. Keep drawing, try to do some every day.

Also, the best way to improve all your drawing is to draw from life. Its hard but it will teach you the skills you need. Draw people you know. Try working to different times, like 1 minute drawings, or 20 min drawings. Also try copying images of people from photos.

Thanks!

Really fantastic attention to detail. I would work on your perspective a bit, there are too many things facing the camera "straight on", e.g. everything on his back, the sign, and his left foot are all perpendicular to the camera, which feels a little wierd.

Work on scale a bit too. Hit gun, the sign, and the barbwire are all very small, making him look like a giant. His left gauntlet should also be much larger.

Final critisizm: there are a few pieces that don't have the same attention to detail and cleanliness of the rest of the picture e.g. the clippers on his shoulder and the barbwire. When I look at some parts of the picture, his back and face for instance, they are really well done, but they really clash with the more rushed parts. The clippers are especially disconcerting as they are right next to a lot of well done pieces. It looks like one person did the back and then allowed a 10 year old to add something to it.

But again, overall great piece. Once you are satisfied with the overall look of it go back over all the lines again with more boldness, either with a pen or marker, or just very strong pencil lines. After that start shading. If you are using pencil try to make everything SOME shade of grey.

Again, great job.

Is this based off this picture?

Just what I was about to say, Have this poster above my computer.

Yes it is Snarky!
I have just done a sketch, rushed in about 35 minutes, the final will be shaded in color and look much nicer! Also, I really need to work on my scale and hand sizing

Nicely done

thanks

Nice.

Cool, must have been fun!

You need to work on your proportions and posing more. His hands are tiny and his feet are kind of oblong and undetailed. Work out a basic sketch with good proportions before you add details! That said, your details are good, you just need to build them over something first.

Thanks, and yes before I redraw it I need to fix the preportions

Nice picture man, I imagine the freehand work on your minis is going to be awesome.

That is an amazing drawing.

Thanks! IDZ: I dont like freehand that much but if you want to see some check this out: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/420/403045.page " target="_new" rel="nofollow"> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/420/403045.page
