More from Blue
A group pic sort of thing.
I'm rather grumpy with my art in general lately. Still feeling that things could be better all around, though particularly inking.. that and I'm too lazy thanks to the slew of good PC games out at the moment, hehe.
Going to try inking up my next pic in Sai, see if it feels better. If not, I might try my hand at good ol' real media stuff again.

Not happy with your art? Perhaps I could offer a few pointers.

Overall, I like the picture, it's functional and I particularily like the broken lines on the seats. Very nice. Though, there are a lot of things in it I think you can improve upon.
- In terms of anatomy, I think the bodies are too long. They don't actually look like they're sitting down, since the picture has no depth. I can't really see the characters as being on the chairs, but the chairs being behind them.
- Tori's far ear needs to line up with his near ear, as stated on the picture enclosed - otherwise the ears are lopsided. He also needs an elbow on his leftmost arm, as you've established that this isn't rubberhose and the other characters have elbows.
- Blue needs a wrist, as arms don't end like solid tubes, they taper as they approach the hand. The "fins" on his head are a bit strange, the farmost one needs some foreshortening applied to it, otherwise it'll look like it's sticking out of his forehead. His upper arm is too short in comparison with his forearm. I believe they should be roughly identical sizes. His tongue looks disconnected to the mouth area and is too thick.
- The little guy's right (our left) hand looks like it doesn't have a thumb. Is it on the top of the bottom of the hand?
- The colours are a little stark and without tone. They're almost completely pure RGB colours (that is, mostly X,0,0 or thereabouts) and I feel it needs more depth of colour. Try mixing up some different colours with different saturations, and mix them up on the colour wheel. Instead of Red, use Red-Orange or Red-Purple, shade yellow by making each darker shade more orange + darker, as dark yellow is an ugly colour. Make the chairs more desaturated, as they further flatten the image by bringing themselves into the fore. The less saturated a colour, the less you notice it. Remember to make greys very desaturated colours (desaturated red makes for a warm grey, desaturated blue makes for a cool grey) to really pick out the mood of the scene or character. Straight grey looks very boring.
- Where is your light source? Is there one?
- The expressions need variety. These characters have practically the same expression - it makes it look a little lifeless in terms of image composition.
I think it's a very nice picture, but you could really learn from it to make your art even better. Hope to see more like this soon, it's a slight change from what you usually do.

Nothing like going to the movies with your friends =D Hopefully those seats aren't too small to get into though ;)
I'm really liking how bold your coloring is looking lately. Everything seems a bit deeper in color and I find it's more noticable in the blues, greens and reds you use. Also everything looks really smooth in this which adds to that effect ^^ Also your frontal views look really good (mostly using Laz as a reference) and how you do the face and muzzle.
There are two things I notice just for friendly criticism though. One is with regards to the amount of shadow on Laz's and Embers legs. I just feel it should either be darker or more present based on how big their bellies look. The other thing I noticed (and this is minor) is the seats seem to curve the more to the left you go. I'm just noticing this based on how the seatings in a theatre go =P
But this is still very nicely drawn! =D

Heh, pretty cute. I heard from Grey that this is based on real life. It must have been fun to haking with your UK buds.
I would give you some critque as per usual, but I think this guy covered all the bases and then some: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/211...../#cid:15332709
