I've never drawn pirates before. He looks more like a fencer. ^^,

And ideas? D:
 
I also need a name for him. I wanted to name him Morgan, but then he'd be Captain Morgan. >.<

    Neck cramps fablespinner says. I draw like this all the time! Yayda yada, afore mentioned anatomy tips...let's see...that leaves me the nitpick details!
    Where did the sword come from? Remember to add a thick belt w/ a sword sheath. His pants don't have a waistband or buttons. (he's not wearing TIGHTS is he? Drooling )The hair is a bit too close the skull, the sword looks a bit thin...and if he's a captain, where's his hat?!

      I couldn't get the waist of the pants to look right, so I said to myself that I would do it later.

      Tights? Lol I didn't think about that. Being the character that he is, he probably would. xD I do think I will simply make those tight pants, though. It is an idea to ponder, on the other hand. :3

      The sword was supposed to be a thin sword, like a fencing sword, but honestly, I have much trouble drawing things that aren't fleshy. D: Thus, why he's not wearing a hat. </3 ;.;

    Neck cramps! It's always hard to look at a picture all cock-eyed like this.

    Details> Try some embroidery on the vest and making it a long vest. Or adding a sash to a short vest is very "piratey".

    I'd watch the "Hips" too. He has womanly curves to his hips, men have more narrow and straight hips. (And you've THANK GOODNESS given him a crotch, but no bulge... he should have a little bulge in such tight pants. Most people leave out crotches all together so YAY!!!! You get Anatomy 101 bonus Points!!!! Woot!!)

    You have a GREAT START however.. little details make all the difference, even if you think people don't notice, they do and don't realize it.

    ^^
    This looks very UTENA inspired (nice style) Use UTENA wardrobe details, that regency style is VERY Pirate like as well.

      D: Sorry. I had to scan that at my friends and their programs are too much of a pain. >.< Else, I would have turned it. </3

      I'm bad about making my men look like women. It's only been recent(less than a year now) that I've been drawing men. D: Ever since preschool I've mainly only drawn women. >.< He is supposed to be femine, though. Perhaps I did go a little overboard. >.< Nyar.

      I've also never gone into too much detail with the lower regions, such as bulges. I tend to draw in public and people like to stair when I work on the crotch too much. >#> It's even worse since I hate clothing and most... er...all of my people start off nude. >.<

      Ah, yes... details. Those will come. >.< I just wanted to make sure there were no major errors I was overlooking. I hate having to erase details to fix an error that could have been dealt with prior to all the work. x_x

      I haven't seen Utena in so long. xD I'd completely forgotten about it until now. <3

      :snuggle huggles: Thank you for the help. :3 Art sites need more people who will help out. That's why I like Paperdemon. x3 <3

        It's a good thing you start with nudes, that's the BEST way to get clothing/folds/draping correct.

        If people stare, stare right back and say "Yes, do you have a problem?"

        If they giggle and snort, they are the ones seriously immature. Any *ANY* art teacher will tell you that starting with a nude is best, if peopple are prudes and get their jollies watching you draw something that intimidates them let them.

        The only people who would have a problem with it, aren't worth your time anyway.

        Just be honest if they start with the jeers and teasing.

        "Like why R you like drawing him *giggle* nekkid?"

        "Because, oh ye infantile one, I need something to put clothes on first. Were you born with clothes on? No. A Picture cannot be born that way either."

        Simple as that and then THEY look like the idiots they are. Never let something like that make you self-conscious. SmileHeart

          The sad thing is that most of my people [stay] naked. ^^, I don't finish a lot of my drawings. o_x

          D: I so want to quote or paraphrase you. <3 May I? The way you said that was just the awesomeness. xD My responses never sound that smart. ;.; My brain deflated, but at least I'm not out of doodle juice. >.<

          I sit my some pregnant, moody chick in Phychology, where I usualy do my drawing when I'm done with my work. I think she hates me and tries to make my life miserable. Sometimes I want to rip her tongue from her mouth. <_< I tend to try to just ignore her, though. Pregant teen women are pure evil-- no offense to women or anything.

    Addig more details maybe?
    A pirate hat?

    I heard somewhere that there was a tradition among pirates to carry every tresure you found or stole on you... But I guess thats not the style you want )

    But wooden leg ang a hook instead of the hand work 100% I guess ))

    As for the roast... Cant think of anything but a lack of the neck maybe?

      D: I tried to draw a hat, but I need to practice first. x_x Hat drawing skills = 0.

      Wooden leg and hook hand? O.o Not for this one, but the treasure-carrying thing sounds nice. :3 Thanks for the help and all.

    Captain Morgan. Laughing Haha.

    How about Damon? I like that name. xD

    And as for ideas on making him NOT look like a fencer - Well...I dunno. xD Sorry. Reference pictures are always great!

    Looks nice so far! Hug

      Damon is WAY too over popular as a pirate name. >< It's taken at leart X20 over....
    • Jan 19, 2007, 3:46:23 PM UTC
      I see names like Damon too much. >.< Not that I dislike the name, but I hate repeatativeness. Even the best anime, for example, can disgust me greatly if I hear too much about it. That's why I fear Ouran Koukou Host coming to America. D,:

      Thanks, though. :3 :huggles:
