Guild Wars 2

i’m a terrible artist and i wanna get better, so i’m thinking about starting doodles and posting them here, if anyone has any advice for me on how i can improve, it would be very VERY much appreciated

also, it’s supposed to be my sylvari

Hi hi! Not terrible at all! I’m not much of a drawer myself, but since no one else has thrown their hat in in 3 days, I think a little feedback’d be nice!

So I’ll try to keep it simple; here’s what needs to be practiced and fixed up first:
That left arm. I doubt she’s an amputee, so we need to elongate it and stick a hand at the end of it. Right now it’s far too short and I can’t tell if that’s a hand or an elbow.
Remember: elbow at diaphragm (bottom of lungs) and hand 1/3ish on thigh muscle. When in doubt, stand up and see for yourself.

Hand. Hands are hard. It’s ok. Right now thumb is tiny and hidden, but is ok because it’s a fist. HOWEVER, the index finger and ring need to be same size. Middle finger is largest finger. Right now index finger is massive.

Feet. Nothing big here, they’re fine since in shoes (boots?), BUT feet always point left and right at an angle. It’s small, but a realism thing. Don’t put them straight forward or facing in. People don’t stand like that. Floating however, all bets are off, feet do whatever they want then.

It’s also a good idea while starting to draw skeleton -> body without clothes (or underwear only) -> clothes. Yes it’s a lot of erasing and drawing lightly, but the reason’s simple though: you don’t want clothes hiding a poorly constructed body part. Best satirical example I could find. Draw that lightly at first so you can go over it. As you get better, won’t be needed.

I know that’s a lot, but hopefully you can work on it one piece at a time so it’s not overwhelming. Finally, stay away from anime how to draws if you’re starting out. Generally, those assume you know how to draw, just not how to draw the character.
