Would it be fine if I submitted a sketch for one my ideas still in the Smithy instead? Just an inquiry...
Prefer not, but eh.
Sorry about this then...
The idea I'm drawing for is: Twilit Tyrant | Twilit Tyrant (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,37865.html).
I may have spent a lot of time looking at past art lessons though...

Mostly to just to figure the body positioning and whatnot. Hopefully the limb lengths aren't too off...

Just fleshing out the body. Scrapped the claymore for a giant axe.

Tried adding on armour. Axe is being temporarily removed. Can't help but feel something is off with the arms...

Attempted at toning the figure out.
Hopefully the end result will come out much darker, but I still feel I'm a good distance away from that...
Unfortunately, I'm stuck with sketching things out on gIMP with a mouse.

Try using a pencil and paper instead. I can tell very little from this about your work process, and what I can see is rather bland. Really try and focus on convincing a dynamic pose and a realistic anatomy.. also, no humans in Elements. ;)
Alright so I'm finally here >.>
I decided to use the card Wyvern | Elite Wyvern (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11054) by Hyroen.
I chose this card to do some art because I liked the card itself. I wanted to give it art that presses further dimensions than the art it has now.
It would be nice at the end of this to have a visually impressive piece causing eyegasms everywhere.
Anyways...
Apologies for meh sketch, but I only had around 20 minutes to work:

It's a good start, but I'd like to point out a few mistakes. The most striking one you'll want to look at is the perspective issues with his chest; it's angled as if it's on a different plane from the rest of his body. The wings don't make much sense to me; they look like they'd just be flappy streamers if he'd take flight. Finally, the size of the arms looks to be a little off. A challenge for your next sketch: Draw the wyvern as if it's taking flight just at the moment you 'snapped' it.

I won't go back through the topic, better to just make a post when you've got something. :)
Hmmm... More skills is always welcome and learning to draw might help me in some projects. However. I have no scanner nor graphic tablet or anything. Is it a possibility to be able to draw decently directly on the PC, or as I always thought it is pretty much impossible to get any kind of results without using paper and pencil (or other similarly non-digital tools)?
It's possible, but you'll waste half your life on any single piece. For the purpose of sketching, pencil and paper and a camera will do.
