First try at a character

[YOke]

I have made my first attempt at a character and I'm having trouble with the usuals (arms, legs, hands, shading, whatever). Just give me your 2 cents, you know the drill... Without further delay I give you THE BLUE DUDE!!!! YAY!!!!

[Evil]

Over all its great. I think you could get away with the arms and hands. I like it the way it is...

Some modifications:

Hope it gives you some ideas.

I liked your character, YOke.

evil: thank you

loom: VERY nice.    You really tightened him up. The new shoulders make him look "strong like bull"  

gord: thanx

The story behind him is that when i was 10-12 i drew MASSIVE amounts of superheroes. I still have all my drawings in a shoebox and got them out the other day. More of them to come...

But could somebody give me some pointers on how to draw him from the side? I never seem to get the proportions right...

The new shoulders make him look "strong like bull"

Actually they havn t been modified. What makes him look stronger is the:

(i) Smaller head
(ii) Narrower waist

It s all about proportions.
