i've never had any type of art/drawing lessons before, and i was wondering what i could do to make it better. Please critique my work! THANKS! This is from February 14th, 2005. This is my most recent "big" drawing that's aladdin realated. i usually do doodles, but this i took my time on. It took 3 days.
Also, for extra information, I am fifteen, so i'm not sure if that specifies any extra skills or anything.

I really like this, this is really impressive for someone your age (I'm 17 and I don't have half the talent you do). My only suggestion would be to have Jafar taller and thinner.

That's really really good. It's a shame I suck at drawing Laughing

Wow, that's better than I could do!

I would just make him thinner and much taller and work on the hands a bit. Keep it up! If you have any others, I would love to see them!

yeah- i'm completely worthless at drawing hands. it'd help if i could get some art lessons!!! which i've never had AND NEED!!!! of course it's worthless for me to say this, b/c my 'rents won't be looking at this. oh well. sigh. i have a gajilion others. i'm sure i could scan them in sometime. most are from 2 years ago, b/4 i learned a lot of what i know now. they could be a LOT better. one of my favorites is of al and jas on the carpet. btw, none of my aladdin pics are colored, they're all B&W. Don't want to ruin the with color, b/c i have the shading as B&W, and it'd look weird w/ color. unless i drew all the outlines and colored and shadowed with color. wow. blonde moment. lol! well, i also have one of aladdin, 3 of jasmine, one of the harem girls, genie, and jafar, which u've seen. well, thanks for the support. i'm gona start working on one of Iago being still and calm. I'll call it "Sedated Iago". LMAO! Laughing

TTYL, all! Thanks again!

thats pretty good my only suggestion would be like everyone else said would be taller and thinner and also on a side note i know hands are hard and andreas made jafars hands all the harder but the only thing i would have to say would be that the hands need to be bonier\. jafar is a thing guy with practically no meat on him to give him the creepy old guy feel to him along with the evil sinister guy so it all has to come together i've tried a bazillion times and so far i've succeeded only drawing the head but other than that looks great Very Happy

i have another pic for critiquing. it's a portrait of Aladdin i drew 3 days ago. I am in fact awware of the fact that the eyes need to be bigger and reshaped and the nose isn't big enough.
The 2nd pic is my AWNW pic. Any ways, i drew all of these by hand, and i've never had any lessons, so i'm open to critiquing. thanks!

1st Picture (just Al): I can't find anything meaningful to say about it. It's pretty good.

2nd Picture (Al, Jas, Carpet):
Carpet, Text, and the Lamp - *thumbs up*
Jasmine - her hair seems a *little* long (but that may just be me) and her left arm is funky.
Aladdin - something about his face that I can't put my finger on and he's a little "developed" in the chest Laughing

Overall they're good, and those are just some of my thoughts on them. Smile

The Jafar one looks kind of like the style they drew him in in RoJ or the Hercules TV series... Smile

should i take that as a compliment or a diss? ROJ's animation sucked really bad. i know-the AWNW was from 3 years ago, when i was 12. i don't know why that arm looks so weird. the one that's going down or the one that's holding al's hand? the one holding the hand is messed up, and so is the one going down, though. and that "womanly part" on aladdin that jas spoke of was the fixed the collar bone. i recently fixed the sketchiness and added a touch of shading, but i didn't want to change anything majorly, b/c it'd change how i was drawing back then. i had to add the shading and darken the lines b/c my camera wouldn't pick up the pic very well. thanks for the compliments and criticism! more piics to come later on. working on a pic of iago. he's silent and calm for once. i call it "sedated iago " or "tranquilized iago" Very Happy

later, homies!

I just mean that his face is a lot more angular than it is in the first movie, if that makes sense... Confused
