Description I think the title would apply to the characters on the show but honestly it's just referring to me-

..I'm STILL not finished with it. No, I'll be obsessing over this for awhile longer. And while I want to shock and awe the few watchers I have, I just can't help but share because I do actually like this one.

And I know- there are a TON of mistakes so please if you choose to critique this don't make it a retarded comment/suggest- try to 'help' me not make a complete ass out of yourself k?

Oh nerm- (clockwise starting upper left) Aang(Airbender/Avatar), Sokka(The 'IDEA GUY' ),Toph (Earth Bender), and Katara(Waterbender)..as seen on Avatar- The Last Airbender. A cartoon on Nickelodeon- WATCH IT!..well as soon as the new season starts *sigh*

EDIT- Forgot details- sorry- draw on 11x14" sketch pad using graphite pencils, colored with primacolored pencils. Had to scan in 2 sections- hence the line..but I'm trying to fix that.

EDIT EDIT!- OK CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUE PLEASE! And reading previous comments is nice- I know about Katara's face..and ya know? I kinda like it that way so I left it so nyah! You draw her how you want and I'll draw her how I want ya?

And when I'm looking for suggestions/help it's something I can ADD to this- I'm not going to take anything away..that's kinda ANTI-finish. Background stuffs, shading. I'm really really happy for the views, favs, comments, etc but know I've worked my ASS off on this and hearing the same comment over and over is already getting old.

I don't know much about manga drawing, but this one caught my eye. I can also see your skills develop as I look through your older material. Whatever critiques others might have matters little in the light of how much you have improved. I can barely draw Mickey Mouse...(^_^)

Mickey Mouse is still tough as hell though. And really all his head is is a series of circles if you look at him right. LOL

Thanks for the input- I really appreciate it. I <3'd your photos. It was nice to reminisce..it's been a long time since I've seen Germany.

Katara's face seems more realistic to me. See, in the show, she's pretty darn skinny and her face is, well, very thin. I give it TWO thumbs up!! (Actually, I would give it a hundred thumbs up, but, unfortunately, I don't have that many, so two wil have to do)

I can't wait for the new season, too!
you should have a backround, like a basic-ish color?
and Katara's face doesn't look THAT bad.

Oh, and where is Katara's other arm?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mlee0096 In reply to insanityblob [2007-04-05 03:56:59 +0000 UTC]

Her left arm (the one you see the most of is drawn around her- you can see part of her hand by her face if you look closely), her right arm can't be seen (it's a perspective shot) though you do catch a part of her sleeve a bit. I'd probably have to find the reference pic(aka screenshot) I used since it is a bit hard to explain. But yes, she still has 2 arms.

I love your shading on Aang's hand. Actually I like the whole hand! I can't draw hands for my life! Kudos to you, because you can!

Hah, thanks- honestly I think that would be the part I'm the most peeved about. Glad to hear someone likes it though. <3

How could you be peeved? At least your hands look like hands instead of weird deflated glove balloons!

Mlee0096 In reply to insanityblob [2007-04-06 03:58:15 +0000 UTC]

Now there's a thought of something different to draw..and I've been drawing hands for a little while now so they really should be better. I just need more practice I suppose.

Light-Heartless [2007-03-30 03:53:40 +0000 UTC]

I still really like Aang's pose! and that hand is drawn soo good ! The coloring is so smooth too!

The only thing that kind of caught my is that Katara's face seems a bit wide, but it really is not problem.

I can tell you put some effort into this and it is showing ^-^

This is looking really wonderful. Your coloring really brings out each character nicely. I love how smooth it is for pencil and your shading is great. Toph's eyes are perfect and you did a great job with the details on Aang's hand. Can't wait to see it finished.

Ooooh yay, you squeezed extra folks in! Watching art develop is fun.

...

Critique-wise, only thing that pinged with me was the cheeks/jawline on Toph and Katara. The proportions look a little wide in relation to their bodies / the facial structure of the other two.

...

Keep on it until you're satisfied!

LoL- Yes, it can be- though I'd wanted to put Prince Zuko in there too I'm afraid I won't be able too without it looking weird.

Glad you like it though.
