Description Art trade with

Well it took me way to long, and I apologize for the long wait. Here is 's character Hawk Hrothgar as an anthro. I used the reference sheet in the link below.

[link]

I experimented with this picture actually. I wanted to try a picture that didn't have my black sharpie outline like on most of my other pictures, and so I just went with this picture without an outline. It was a challenge because I didn't have an outline to base my shadows off of, but that allowed me to be a bit more free where to place folds and such, which I did like. Overall, I enjoyed working on this picture from start to finish, though it just took a very long time to get me started.

The picture was a little dark, so I tried to brighten it up on the computer a little bit. I'll change this out for the original if you are wanting it a bit darker, but either way will do.

Thank you once again for letting me do a trade with you. If this isn't what you wanted, let me know because I'll always be willing to try again.

Tbh nothing in particular, I just want to draw a super detailed character but am feeling lazy in terms of coming up with said character. I'm game for pretty much anything.

Moar traditional werks! It looks great~ I really like the boots.
The cocky expression is really cool, too.

Very nice work.

I remember your initial expression when I asked your opinion the first time I showed you this pic as a sketch. You must really like the expression. I like the boots a lot too, was fun trying to come up with them

Thanks!

Outstanding job if I do say so myself!
This new approach you took didn't turn out too bad after all, but I still think defined outlines are important, but that's just me
Keep it up broski!

Thanks broski. Yes, outlines are important but not completely necessary. I'll just have to choose when it is indeed right to use them or not.

Looks pretty awesome, amigo. The less emphasized outlining allows more of the small detailing to shine through- it's an interesting new approach to your traditional style.

Can't identify any specific flaws in this piece, but I can suggest a new editing technique you may find useful. Basically, you just do a horizontal flip on your drawing to get a mirror image. There are often times that I'm able to spot a mistake from the other side that I couldn't see originally. When I first discovered this, it was enormously helpful to me, since I could identify most mistakes almost immediately rather than with hours of scrutinizing the linework

Oh wow, I hadn't really thought of that! I will definitely give that one a go next time and see how it helps. Thanks.

Wow Brand, I'm lovin' this one.
The style you drew it in is kickass. Probably one of my favorite pictures of yours.
I'd love to see you use this style again, keep up the great work!

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. It was a lot of fun to do something somewhat different. I'll definitely be doing this more often. Sure gave it a new perspective to work with and more choices for me to do with a picture.

THAT IS AMAZING! I absolutely love it!

Plus your style experiment turned out great, I think, and you should definitely try more stuff in this style.

If you want to do another art trade, I'm game.

looks like all color, but overall nicely done. face and sword sheath are the features i like the most. they are the cleanest and the sheath is the very vibrant

Thanks, it's certainly cool to see how the change of one simple part of a picture can affect it so much. I'll probably do more of these in combination with ones with outlines.
