So I tableted an abaasy which is a turkish demon that has one eye, arm, and leg and rides a dragon.



But I have no idea how to make smooth outlines. Every time I try to make a nice black outline it ends up really wavy and messy looking.

HELP

tracing digitally over an outline with the line/curve tool. First time doing it; gonna fix the mistakes once i dont need the outline and can delete that layer.



small improvment with right arm and removed outline. shoulder is bugging me though/....

You should really look on how legs connect at all, they're very thin too! The same could be said about the arms. Keep praticing!

yeah. I got rid of the right leg. reworked the left arm partly...gonna go back to the right now that you've said something.

new edit with bigger arms.

The head and neck are also proportionally way to small for that body. The head needs enlargement and the neck needs major beefing up.

imageshack took it fine before...screw imageshack. screw them. updated in my last post. ill do that thx.

nope, not good yet

the base you're using for tracing is all wonky and off-proportions.

study anatomy more, look for real references etc. the way it is now is ugly.

i made it myself thats why. Ill find some tuts on deviant, study those and compare them then.

All art should be made by the artist themselves. Your anatomy sucks, go to the library, get a book on anatomy, medical ones work well if you can't find a good one otherwise, and study it.

Sketches I did today of plaster busts/models.

I don't know what it is about them, but I love your sketches, C2B. The way you do hair is awesome in an unexplainable way.

it's just soo wavy~ I can't get mine like that lol.

looked up some tuts; the whole box/cube thing is tharder for me. i dunno why but i do get why it is necessary.

with that pose i was trying to do a laying down thing. usually i draw ppl standing, so that would've been a good change of pace. I'll figure this out~ *anme catchphrase here*

While you should study proper anatomy, it's good to get references too, you can find photo of people in this pose or similar if you search for it.

An anatomy practice doodle. My main problem here is the balance between the head and the body, since it looks kinda off compared to the rest of the body:

Legs to the body as well. Those legs look kinda small compared to the torso. I suggest making the legs a little longer.
