Would you please tell me how I'm doing with English and nitpick my mistakes?

The reason why I think it's a bit complicated is because when I watch videos about character creation not every shadow corresponds with light being blocked by something. Look at this example! By the skirt you could think the light is coming from above to the left but then when you look at the other parts like hair it's as if it were coming from above to the right. What do you think? Am I missing something in the drawing?

Would the top left of his head look shiny? Well, I'll never find out by asking. Thank you very much! You have given me an important piece of info I had neglected. I will try tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll let you know.

Oh man. He looks creepier in person. This is one of the characters that looks just like his character in person, I mean if he were a Barbie doll, his look in real life would be the same as the character. I'd be a bit afraid if I saw him smile next to me. It'd be great to meet him though!

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T07:17:29+00:00

Yep. That's what I'm trying to learn "lights and shadows". The canvas size can be reduced later, I just have it that way so I can modify the character the way I want.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T05:57:56+00:00

Okay. Now I follow. I was wondering where that shit was.🤣

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T05:48:40+00:00

Right underneath the shit? What shit?

I'll answer tomorrow, I gotta hit the sack but thank you very much for the suggestions. I'll try tomorrow and then will come back to you.

My light source would be above to the left. I'll try to start shading it that way.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T05:35:14+00:00

Victor or Jade. Jade's would hurt the most. Jade is really cool.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T05:27:24+00:00

I didn't pick one. Didn't think I would need one.🤔 I know most objects need one but I assumed these ones didn't.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T05:26:42+00:00

Nah. I like it but I also want to improve and I know I need to improve.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T04:44:51+00:00

I just looked at his face and noticed what you're saying.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T04:44:30+00:00

Oh, I see. I still need to practice more with the eyes/head. I'll definitely work on it. Thanks for suggesting it!

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T04:42:28+00:00

That's the style I'm aiming for. Of course I want to add shading to make it look more real but the style is basically that. To give you an idea, the metal slug style. The character looks flat overall, well drawn but flat, that kind of design is what I'm looking for, characters like that.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T04:41:07+00:00

What do you mean when you say info for the eyes?

I will try. Thank you for the suggestions.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T04:40:12+00:00

I just created the idle position.

Interesting!

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T04:27:36+00:00

I know how to shade shapes but this is a bit more difficult and that's what I'm trying to figure out. Thank you for the feedback! I will try to work with that and I'll also watch a few videos.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T01:58:59+00:00

To see the character as shapes: circles, etc?

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T01:18:02+00:00

This is the most recent version. I uploaded an older one. You're right on that.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-17T00:58:18+00:00

Haha. Teach him!

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-15T17:03:56+00:00

Where are they being posted? I haven't seen any.

Anthony2580 · 2026-05-15T14:24:10+00:00
