I think it looks pretty good for your first try. I really like your simple shading--all the shadows go the same way. ^_^ (You'd be surprised how many budding artists start out by putting shadows everywhere they don't belong....*raises hand*) My suggestion for improvement would be crop the rough edges out, so it looks neater and focuses attention on the subject. heart

Practice drawing human anatomy would be my advice. While that gives a rough approximation of what the human body should like, the lines are far from being accurate, and that is really what throws the picture off.

i know it probably is one of the things that makes the art look less realistic and more sloppy, but.... i realy REALY like how the coloring fades away at the feet here! biggrin

"Art is something that inspires an emotional response. Just because you don't like that response doesn't mean it isn't art." ~ My first entry on my FB art page. 3nodding A lot of people I know try to narrow the definition of art to suit what they like. They get so self-righteous about what is or isn't art. I used to get offended and caught up in the bickering, but now I just sit back and laugh because whatever "non-art" their fighting about caused an emotional response. There for, it is art.
I think my second favorite bit of Saphhirianna's piece, after the shadows, is her budding use of brushes. Go, Saph!

i think in all things, Art is Art no matter who thinks what of it. and what makes it good, besides being a Subjective concept to begin with, depends on the specific situation and circumstances; not to mention, just what the goal of the Artist is with her Creation.

Whoa. Lotsa responses within one night. O.o Glad you guys think it's okay. I'm working on basic anatomy stuff, not the advanced, I'm too non-skilled for that yet... ^.^'

well, you got the right idea then Sapph, take it one step at a time. ^_^
i'd suggest Anime Starter Guides, and Realism Sketch DIY Manuals. those tend to give you the best advice on Anatomically correct drawings.

ScarletFrost Art is something that inspires an emotional response.
Actually, I regard that as an incomplete definition because there are many things that illicit an emotional response, yet are not referred to as art. A good example would be a so-so joke. While such a joke might make people chuckle somewhat, they wouldn't really call the person an artist for making up the joke.
For me, the definition of art has to include something that accounts for such a discrepancy, and that something is truth, in a manner of speaking, I think.
To illustrate this I shall return to the example of the joke. Now imagine that this person instead makes really funny jokes all the time. Someone may well call this person an "artist" or an "artist" of comedy because he is giving them such an intense experience. This raises the question about whether it was just an intense emotional experience which makes something art. I think intense emotional experience is correct in a sense, but just saying that is rather a bit of a misnomer because when someone views a painting, drawing, performance, etc. ,etc. and has an intense feeling of hate towards it, they would be unlikely to think of it as art. This is why I think there is the element of truth to what people think of as art. It is the intense emotional response(whatever that may be) to what they consider is true(which is why so-so jokes and works that people really hate don't get considered as art. The lack the intensity of feeling of the truth).
The reason I think it is truth is because of the way that art is sometimes used to describe a master who is great at their craft. To relate this to the example of the person telling the so-so joke, while the person may not get described as an artist for creating a funny joke, but the person may well be described as someone who is an artist of so-so jokes.

i think Art is something more Sacred... something that can effect you in the Trinity of Body:Mind:Soul, that you experience in all three ways, even if it doesn't have any other Practical use or Purpose.

Sometimes art is just an idea, not an ideal. One thing I've encountered with my art is when I draw something dark or racy or of questionable inspiration, I get one or two people who say "are you sure you should be drawing that sort of thing?" It bugs me, because I draw what I enjoy. I don't ask you to fall in love with it, but I share it just in case someone else likes it.
I've noticed that a lot of "art school" students, or those who find the money and time to be professionally instructed, usually graduate with an accurate but sterile style. Quite frankly I don't think it serves the artist or the community. There are exceptions of course, but often those exceptions have a "school portfolio" and a "real portfolio." I suppose that the purpose of art school is to give you the tools to hone talent into skill, but ultimately to be an artist, you have to throw your heart into something you love.
To qualify something as art...well, my daughter mass-produces these colorful scribbles that rarely look like anything at all, but I would definitely that art. xd
