Heh, this topic has lost a lot inactivity for some time. Ah whatever.
Anyways, after practicing and practicing for days on end on drawing, I've finally passed a cornerstone on my drawing skills. Instead of that cartoony,blocky,uneven stuff, I now started adapting to the styles of manga art. The only thing is ,which sets apart cartoon from manga is that manga includes alot more steps and well can be a pain to draw altogether. But, the finish product looks highly more professional and detailed. So, I chose to go that road considering it's quite a popular method people have been using for some time.
So after reading manga art drawing reference books and practicing drawing different parts of the body, I bring them all together into one piece(no pun intended). My test subject/mascot. Cilly Cillianno. Here's the unfinished draft I have so far and when I mean unfinished, I mean not complete.
Notice theres no facial parts,feet,completed hair or completed hands. Those, I'm still working on. So far, I'm proud of my progress. From grade 1 stubby circle sketches to grade 9 somewhat detailed bodies.
None.
Practice a few dozen more days on end. I guess I'll post the last thing I drew. 6 months ago. The swan song records logo.
It's not finished in this one... But I gave it to a friend of mine and she keeps it at school so I can't get a proper scan. I made some parts darker and fixed hair perspective.
None.
A sketch using, of course, iScribble.
None.
Do you use a graphic tablet to draw that on the computer because personally, I sometimes find it ridiculous (in a funny way) how people can draw stuff like that with just a mouse. Because the mouse is quite hard to keep control with.
None.
Yes, I'm using a Wacom Tablet. I can do the same thing with a mouse, but it would just take a lot long than usual.
None.

Free hand sketching for the win!

That was with a tablet?
...
I thought you were really good with a mouse, but now my opinion changes.
None.
All of my iScribble drawings are with a tablet.
All drawings previous to that were done with a mouse.
None.
Heres 2 pages of some rough draft gull sketches I drew in animation class apart of my animation assignment.
And heres the completed rough draft of the 8-year old girl I drew, Cillianno.
Note* Disfiguration of paper is from the scanner. Also fixed some mistakes from previous sketch.

In the first one the fish is actually a nice looking shape.
But just nice.

Dear HolySin:
Great work, especially in post #103. I like the stylized exaggeration of her head proportions.
Dear Jordan:
Hey, keep at it. That's what it takes to improve. The seagulls are looking pretty good. On the girl, obviously anime-styling, but the eyes are overly close together and the head is very long, which compounded together gives a very odd look.
Dear Wizard:
Very nice, particularly the first anime girl, Vita. Great linework, nice composition (maybe a some kind of emotion, though?), professional quality. The belt buckle is wonky, though. Second piece is obviously rough, with mutant chubby fingers. =o)
Dear RoryFenrir:
I really dig the Star Destroyer, though it looks like you got a bit carried away with the deep shadow on the right side where the shield deflectors stand. The prisma color nuke is interestingly organic in its rounded layers of color. I like it.
Dear Cob:
Nurture that creativity. Also, the pen can be a great tool. My friend Phillip is
testament to that.
Dear everyone:
I guess I'll add something to the pot.

That is fucking awesome dude. I can't say much about the technical drawing of it, but I love the creativity. It looks like a sketch for something to be imported into a movie.
None.
The technical drawing is excellent for the most part, though it lacks shading. I want to draw it now. Where's my pencil.
None.

The technical drawing isn't good at all. Lacks shadows, pencil quality, volumetry between many things that I will stop to mention because if I don't I'll start with one of my bastard analysis.
And unless that thing is flying while producing flames or something it MUST have a projected land shadow.
Second look, it does have a suggested pencil quality but my guess is that he didn't use different pencil graduations, I stand with that unless he says otherwise.

"Although it lacks shading"
As a sketch, it is technically sound.

So... you draw a sketch and the basic rules & concepts of design & drawing don't apply just because you drew an sketch?
fuck you all
