Please tell me what you think of them...

wow.....

They are great.

I wish I could do as well.

I love the playfulness in the face in the the large drawing on the second sheet. I think it's my favorite. I'm not much for angels, but they are really good.

Thanks :)

Do you have any critique?

I really want to improve....

Don't draw on note pads.

You have an incredible technical capability in regard to the drawing of human faces and figures, which should not be underestimated, and is very, very proficient in an area of artistry which is usually one of the more difficult. Remember carefully proportion, though, with the other parts of the body, and perspective in general--both are largely alright in your drawings but sometimes seem a bit borderline. But your ability to draw faces so well already puts you head and shoulders above most internet artists, and, aww hell, who are we kidding, half the artists in the Tate Modern--you know, the ones who think that "art" consists of throwing buckets of paint at a garbage can.

Don't draw on note pads.

I mostly draw in my notebooks at school..I don't have time to draw at home (Since I spend 6-12 hours at school 6 days aweek and can't draw on Shabbat - the religous Saturday) :sad:

Can you show me where exactly?
I know I have this problem, but it's hard for me to find the disproportions in specific drawings

Can't you buy a visual diary?

And crikey, you go to school 6 days a week? That's nuts. And 6-12 hours a day?

I won't ask why you won't draw on saturday.

I spend 56 hours at school each and every week, and in Israel we don't have Sundays off.

I don't draw on Shabbats (Shabbat=25 hours from Friday afternoon until Saturday night) because religous jews don't draw, write, cook, drive, or use electricity during Shabbats.

(So that means I go to school 6 days a week, and then can't use electricity on my only free day :P)

I didn't think there were any proportion problems since these look generally like angel/cherub figures. They look childlike and well proportioned for children (well, it looks like a few of the girls have breasts, but overall they leaned more towards children).

Nice work!

Maya has a good point, Hashava. It may be that when you're drawing cherubim, the proportion used is actually quite suitable. In that case, I could only find fault with nsb1_m.jpg -- there's no clear end to her legs as they merge into the body, and the head is a bit large for the size of the body, in my view of the picture.

Both are very slight issues, however, and may be more a result of the chosen format. The body is only somewhat off in proportion there, and the main issue with the definition of the legs is in the front; the curvature to the back is appropriate enough for a toned woman.

Otherwise your drawings are quite exquisite from a technical aspect, and very pleasant to look at regardless.

P.S. If I may inquire, what precisely is the religious justification for not using electricity? The others make sense as abstaining from labour, but the electricity one is a bit of a conundrum for me.

Thanks for the critique, everyone :)

Well, basically,the definition of the "labour" you're talking about is any activity that is "creative" - for example, turning the light on "creates" something new (just like turning it off- anything that changes the current state of an object is "labour")

Thank you for the clarification.

I know they're not that great...I just felt like sharing ^^;;;;

The animal sketches are interesting.

Also, can you change the thread title? It should be changed to something a little more positive.

Getting Hash to be optimisitic about her drawing is hard, even though they are great.

Personally, even though there's not alot of detail, I like the boy running in the first picture and the girl on the bottom left of the same image. Nice poses.

Okay, apologies in advance, Hash does not have acess to a scanner, therfor I used my digital camera, this means abit of blurriness, and general ickyness.



For some reason theres a tea cup there.

Maybe if we could see ALL the writing related to it there might be a hint as to the reason why it's there?
And as usual, damn nice work, Hashava.

w00t!

Keep drawin, it's good to see so many new images.

sorry been mia

The reason is that this was in the middle of a lecture on psychological exam and as an example we were walked through the exam of a 9 year old boy. In one image there was a teacup, the boy could not stop talking about the teacup.
That's mostly it.
Now about some of the other writing on the paper, it's a good thing you can't read my handwriting. Or Hashs.

And yes, I seem to forget to comment myself, it's nice, even more impressive considering the surroundings and lack of quiet when it was drawn.

It was mostly idle curiousity on my part what with the writing apparently being english and thus at least theoretically intelligible to me.

Tease.

Lindar...Lindar... Where have I seen that username before?

Some of it seems to be English, some not.

I can make out 'Someone is staring up the skirt' and 'I say, that's rude!' with 'British' underneath it. Nothing too scandalous.

Not that we're looking for scandals or anything.

You win one(1) internet cookie for being able to read my handwriting. Hashs response thankfully is in another language.
