A doodle I made last night. I originally just posted it on the blog, but Durrie kept saying I should put it in the forums...so here!

It's kind of off because I had to take a picture of it with my webcam. :( I'll update when I can get a better copy of it.

So, my MC with a bone to pick. Seems as though she's already picked it.

Am I the only one who thinks the shoulders might be too broad? Yes, there's the Viking blood, but...?? Let me know.

This is NOT a doodle! This is fantastic! I wish I could draw half as good as you can.

I do agree, the shoulders seem a bit broad...or at least a tiny bit out of proportion with the rest of her body.

Great job!

Her hair is my favorite part!
Fantastic Job!
Well, yes mate. See, I’m dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you need to watch out for, because you never know when they’re going to do something incredibly..stupid.

It's a good drawing, or as you saw "doodle". It needs a bit of fixing such as, her right hand. I don't know of you mean you draw it crooked to show how heavy the axe is or something else. I think it will look better if it was straight, and over the axe. The axe is a bit crooked too, try outlining it more to help the axe stand out.

Hope this helps,

Hiya Van!

Amazing picture! I've always wanted to draw my own characters but I'm a horrid artist XD

Her shoulder do appear to broad. Even if she was Viking blood, they make her appear real beefy for a woman. Her right arms too, is too beefy considering the skinny-ness of her face and torso.

The axe head appears to be tilting to the left a bit, but that may be just me.

Other than that, it's an amazing picture. I love her dark eyes and the hair. Not one of my most constructive reviews.

Cheers,

Okay let me first get this out of the way

"OhmygoshyouaresogoodIwishIcoulddrawlikethatI'msojelousohmygod*fangirlsquee*"

*Cough*

Anywho, I'm going to try to give a helpful review.

The biggest thing I found wrong was her shirt. I didn't even realize it was a shirt until I looked down at her right cuff, and saw that it was too big to be her arm, then saw the collar. Then I realized she has a shirt on, so you might want to give it a more cloth appearance, shade it a little up at the top.

Also I would darken the axe blade a little so it's not so light.

But this is awesome, I love it :D Great job!

Ooh yes. Thank you all for the advice! I think this doodle can turn into something great now that I know what to fix.
Except the "hand over the axe" thing. The laws of physics say that would make it fall down and hit her in the foot? We can't have that.

Ok, I see what you were trying to do with the axe. Her arms are to thick for that though, they should be thinner and her shoulders should be the same. Loved the rest though.

My reality comes to a close as I once again realize that you don't love me, and even if I love you with my everything you will never care.

Hmm. This is okay. Nice job, sort of scared me at first...XD. Anyways, nice outlining and drawing (doodle) you've got here. And you can only get better with practice.
Keep it up, I hope to see more of your work in the future.
Tata for now!

Hey there!
I have to say the way you've "doodled" the features on this is well crafted indeed! -- that means it's ace. The hair is fantastically well drawn and portrays realism and yet the facial features have a sense of anime crossed surrealism which i think works so well! What I would suggest for improvements is drawing below neck level, the figure seems slightly out of proportion and her arms are a bit 'iffy'. Also the shirt could do with some more fine toning but of course practise makes perfect so dontcha dare stop! This is a brilliant piece of "doodle" -- so post MORE! :D

Lovely!
Ben.

Vana!

Don't be so modest and call it a doodle. This is good. You draw really well.
I have a few suggestions for you.
1. Make the axe look a little more 3-D ish. I mean, try to give it a tapering, sharp edge and maybe a glint. That would help. It's because the dripping blood gives it a 3D feel in the bottom half and this is missing at the top half.

I can't find anything else to nitpick. Awesome job.
Keep it up.

Cheers,
~Lava. :)

I wonder if people felt the freedom in our culture to love louder, if they'd be quicker to say "I miss you" when the absence of someone is felt instead of just thinking it.
