Funny story, I bought one of these the first time they showed up on /r/creepy a few months for my girlfriend. In my head I figured she would like it because she's an artist and she's drawn animal skeletons and amethyst multiple times in the past. However when it arrived I stared at it and thought ".....this is an actual dead baby animal. Why? Why did I think this was a good idea? Who would like this?"
So I told a couple friends about it and they agreed that I might have really poor judgment and maybe I shouldn't give it to her. I was on the fence for a while, couldn't figure out what to do so I just sent out some weird pig snapchats to them in the meantime.
http://imgur.com/a/30DId
but then word spread and all my friends except my girlfriend knew about it and they started making jokes and references to pigs in front of her. She knew something was up and I couldn't go the rest of my life hiding it so I knew I had to fess up.
On Easter, she cooked me some roast pork, and I figured that since she had given me some pig as a gift, it would be a perfect time to return the favor and explain that I had gotten her a rather horrifying gift.
Thankfully she found the whole thing mostly entertaining, but definitely found it weird. However it was such a funny and weird story that she really likes him now. We call him Iggy the Piggy and my friends always ask how our baby is doing.
Edit: The poseable doll thing is the Art Buck drawing model, there's a female version too. The fetus feels and smells like hard, slightly flexible plastic. Obligatory pig in a blanket
It looks like part of an artists wooden mannequin, like so. It would be the pelvis, with the round part being the "hip".
I'm uh, I'm really concerned that "customers that viewed this item also viewed" something called the "Fat Old Fred" after I clicked on that 55 gallon drum of "Passion Lubes" Natural Water-Based Lubricant. The horror that is Fat Old Fred, with his gaping hole of a mouth above his "Bob... Bob had bitch-tits" bitch-tits, just staring back at me with his permanently closed eyes and what appear to be his removable nose and mouth area.
I just know I'm worried about the kind of search suggestions I'm gonna get in the future. Also, in grand Amazon fashion, the most helpful two reviews for the "Fat Old Fred" are here:
> "The handy carrying case is also quite useful for carrying other dismembered obese human torsos.
> Just in case you were curious."
And..
> "I'm really happy with my Fat Old Fred, Black. Though if I'm being up-front, I have to deduct 1 star for it not being quite black. It's actually closer to the color of wet terra cotta. Anyway, I was thrilled upon the arrival of my Fat Old Fred, Black, and immediately began to explore the various uses for a silicon sculpt of a kind-of-old-looking obese torso. My first idea was to cover him in paint and use a trebuchet to launch him at a giant canvas (after all, we all know art is really a process not a product amirite?) but I achieved unsatisfactory results as I seemed to only get face+tits+belly prints. After an hour or so the wall of my warehouse loft wound up looking like a giant had dipped their balls in paint and slapped them all over my wall. Not a good look, unfortunately.
> My backup plan was to pimp him out to the crackheads who have an encampment in the storm drain under my warehouse, and so far I'm happy to say I've already recouped my costs in crack rocks and crusty dollar bills. A-, 8/10 would buy again."

Great, now Amazon is recommending some really weird shit for me.
Your line work is actually not bad. But, mixing the cartoon features of the face with the realistic musculature of the body looks off to me.
You should get one of these to help you progress in body proportions.
>Constructive criticism for how I can improve my art is greatly appreciated :)
I think it's good, but it needs some technical love. Study anatomy, buy a mannequin for reference, get the details right - it looks to me like his left upper arm is about half as long as it should be, and that his neck isn't centered on his shoulders. Some of the coloring is throwing me off too, like there's shaded bits in his shoulder armor, head, gauntlets, yet other areas like his upper sleeve are just flat blocks of color? And I can't tell what's up with his lower half, like what's below that last maroon piece, and are there even legs there? Finally I don't think the detailed, almost airbrushed quality of the skybox is really working with the comic book/screenprint-style colorblocking of the main illo.
Most of my friends are full-time artists and I've written for Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, and have written a lot of art and design articles for automotive magazines. The number one thing most young artists get wrong is accuracy, like the anatomy issues I pointed out. You can do anything you want with a thing, that's what makes your art your own, but you have to first be able to render that thing correctly. Unless you're Picasso, but even he could do it if he'd wanted to.
So I'd pay more attention to style overall and make your choices cohesive, and I'd work harder on presenting living creatures more accurately. But do keep working, you have the talent to make good stuff. Go for it!
Using a reference will make you better at drawing creatively. Just don't use a photograph.
Seriously, set up a still life of any random crap you have. Toss your bath towel in a heap and draw that to study light and texture. Draw with your eyes closed or without lifting pencil from paper. Get people to pose for you or just sketch them when they're not paying attention. Draw self portraits.
Later on, when you decide you want to draw hobbits or unicorns or whatever, you'll have the mental reference you'll need. Plus mannequins are cheap.

Great review :
>The handy carrying case is also quite useful for carrying other dismembered obese human torsos.
eww. it feels kinda gross that this link is already purple for me... it's because I fell into this amazon rabbit hole the other day from another /r/ofcoursethatsathing post (circumcision trainer). From there I clicked on "Fat Old Fred, Black" and the lube (and some gimp masks) was listed under also-viewed from there.
you might benefit from one of those little wooden skeletons artists use. You can pose the figure and then orient it to see the perspective you want to paint from.

I think you would just see a whole lot less of the legs period, at least from this vantage point.
A couple mannequin hands and feet mounted to the wall would look pretty great. As if you were only seeing one side of a set of stocks.

I like these black ones. They look like latex gloves it's not too odd that they don't look like realistic hands.
Just an idea, maybe that's not the look you're going for.
I think it's supposed to be one of those models used as a reference for proportions when painting or sculpting. They are mounted on base held up by a stick.

I've acquired one of those wooden art hands. I'm no artist -- I can barely draw a straight line -- but it looks very cool on my shelf, and it's fun to move into different positions.

To add to this, invest in a Drawing Mannequin. You can even get one for android. They will help you plan body poses and give you something to work off of.
Nice! If you'd like to take it further you should get him a mannequin. He can pose it and even though his style is very animated atm, it will help get him a good sense of proportions!
Customer who viewed that also viewed this weird as shit thing.

You could get one of those wooden human mannequins. Artsy people have those, right?
Her chest is lower than what seems to be natural, it doesn't quite line up with the neck. The perspective in some areas is a little flat such as the face and the right shoulder.
I would suggest doing a standard anatomical pose first and reference that to a real-life subject, in my case I use a wooden dummy. Having a real object to study the proportions and pose helps a lot.
I use a tablet with reference pictures, but another thing I have found useful is I have a "drawing model" doll - https://www.amazon.com/Alvin-Wooden-Mannequin-Unisex-Inches/dp/B001OBMZIE as an example - that i can pose and touch and then the model can see what I am talking about with a weird pose or look...
Spend a lot of time observing people (real life and drawn) see how different styles have varied proportions. Get one of those pose able wooden figurines, and muddle around with poses and get a feel for the proportions by drawing a few.

Damn, lol how about Fat Old Fred then?
I like it! It has a few anatomy specific things though. You may want to spend more time looking at Jack's hands throughout the show. The show has a very simple-shape-y style and the hands are much easier than in other shows. Additionally, Jack looks thin but not small in the show because he has broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Your image seems to have his shoulders broad, but the pauldrons make it harder to see and he looks a bit disjointed, plus his waist is pretty wide. If you're going to be doing lots of art of people in the future, you may want to pick up something like this since human proportions are hard to draw on the best of days. One last thing, the feet are very small. They should be about as long as his forearms.
With all that out of the way, this is a very solid start, especially considering how hard it is to draw humans. Keep at it! You could end up a really great vector artist!
Yes. Use these.

Hmm I’m looking for more of a poseable mannequin, like this guy: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LBEP4N2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7ZFTCbRNT42NG. But digital so I don’t have to carry a mannequin around.
No prob. I'd actually highly recommend getting one of those little wooden manikins you can move and pose. I got one and it totally changed my perspective on how I draw.
To me it actually looks like a hand you can use for a reference when drawing (see 👌 https://www.amazon.ca/Drawing-Jointed-Flexible-Manikin-Mannequin/dp/B019W54DS8) if you were actually curious as to what the hand is. Could also be some sort of hand mannequin thing to display gloves or rings too.

hey I don't want to sound negative, but you seem like you could really benefit from a mannequin. Perspective and form is probably the hardest part of drawing a character at first, and it's really helpful to have a reference so that the shoulder / hips / legs line up in a way. In your drawing, the perspective on the chest and waist is a little skewed and it tends to draw people away from the composure and pose. On the whole, the pose isn't bad, with the silhouetter very readable, but the legs position in relation to the rest of the body is a touch off and the left arm feels like it's not helping balance the weight and is just hanging there as if broken. I don't mean this as an insult, you have a lot of strong qualities and your shading game is on point, I'm just trying to offer some constructive criticism.

Get yourself one of these bad boys! Pose it in all kinds of different ways and draw what you see. Don’t expect it to be perfect just practice. Make the model the skeleton of all your future characters and add details such as muscle, clothes, armor, tentacles and what have you on top of that skeleton. It’s boring, but will pay off in the long run!
If you can, buy yourself one of these, and some water based clay to get a hang on anatomy and positioning. Good luck!
Buy one of these. In my experience, the best way to really understand human figure is with a model. I learned with live ones, but have one of those wooden bois for whenever I want to practice/draw a particular pose I have a hard time imagining.
You can't edit movie clips like this directly in Flash, but if you've got Flash installed, just give it a try yourself: take a single frame from any animation and just use the magic wand tool to cut out the character/object you want to manipulate from the rest of the frame, and fill the background in using content from the other frames forward or backward in the original, or else just fudge it by hand- this is to keep it from showing the "ghost" of the original character behind it when you start moving it around.
Now take your character and figure out where the major parts are which need to move independently, then cut them apart and arrange them appropriately via layers.
A general guide for this with human-like characters would be to look at an artists' mannequin. Each segment on its body is a good candidate for being separated.
In the gif here, the lower body and torso appear to be left alone, meaning you've just got to separate the upper and lower arm for both left and right, Simba, and Rafiki's head. Now that you have them separated you can anchor them together with the bone tool and make their position/rotation relative to a parent object. Anchor Simba to both of the forearms, and both forearms to both upper arms. Anchor those to the proper place on the torso, and you've got a pose-able model lifted directly from the original.
Now just decide how you want to animate it. In this case, Rafiki draws back his arms together and tosses Simba. Set your keyframes appropriately and let Flash handle the rest with motion tweening.
Once you've got the keyframes set, just inspect each frame for anything too out of place- you'll probably need to do a little cleanup on the objects for each segment you separated where the joints are at, but once you've done that it's done. Publish your animation to a video file and then splice it back into the original footage using anything from Premiere to Windows Movie Maker.
All in all I'd expect this to be less than two hours of work, even for a novice.
