it's qt(i think the sonic one is adorable) but you should try pen and paper, it's a better medium then ms paint

I'm not good at crits but, here I go:

It's not a bad start, I mean, look at this really old work of mine:

http://killercore007.deviantart.com/art/Matrix-whoa-23156918
^Ignore account itself, I have changed accounts 8 years ago.

Anyways, crits...hmm...I can think of only two.

For the feet, well, they typically don't face like that(But don't worry, I did that a lot too a long time ago, lol). Anyways, let look at recent pic of mine.

Try looking at the feet here and using that as a starting point.

The second one, is Eliza's hand on our right. The form isn't bad, it's the fact that the shaft looks like it's behind it. Let's do an edit to show you what I mean.

Spoiler: Before and after

Before

Hopefully you see what I mean.
P.S. Apperently, GIMP and MS line thickness settings don't mix, lol.

Thanks!Yeah,I've always drawn feet that way.Don't know why though.Also sorry about the Staff of Ra,I think the noodle ribbon looked better ._.'

Some old art.It's traditional art so yeah.Oh and lookie,Pokemon art!And new art too.

Spoiler

Human!M and Decamarks,both are glitches.Well,I did say Pokemon...

Sable the Hedgecat and Silver the Hedgehog as Finn and Princess Bubblegum (I still hate how I drew the leg and Silver's fur color,blame my grey marker.)

Orlov Sancy,a bat based off of Cerebella and Rick the Adventure Core,I still need to work out his backstory.

S.Y.M.P.A.T.H.Y and M.E.D.I.C,a pair of medical androids who have swapped personality chips.

A picture of Sable based on the Sonic Lost World DLC,a Zeti Nightmaren.
And lastly,have some cuteness!With a chibi.I know I draw her way too much...

A chibi Sable...

Enjoy!And I apologize for the bad camera quality,I used an iPad to take the pictures,because no one in my family knows how to use a scanner worth crap.

A concept for Sugar Boom Ka-Pow.During the Cherry and Blackberry boss battle,after you defeat them,they activate the power of their necklaces in order to start Phase 2 off the battle.Together,they become Cranberry.And their main weapons,both red and black licorice whips also fuse to become a Cat o' Nine tails whip.
The fusion twin person...thing...?Ahem,anyways Cranberry's appearance and attacks take a buttload of cues from magical girl animes.

Also I think I still suck at drawing.Mostly hands and feet.

Spoiler

 

[PastelOctoling]

I sorta redid Sable.One major redesign later and I pretty much took her out of the Sonic universe and made one for her!Mostly because she wouldn't have an interaction with any of them anyways and well,she destroys the city she protects.Yeah,doesn't sound like Sonic material there.She does retain her abilities just with a few story tweaks and well,no more Warp Rings,more like mini teleporters now.

This before I finalize the color scheme too.I have no ideas on what color scheme to give her armor,so if you have any suggestions,let me know and I'll set up a poll.

I kinda wanted her to look different from everyone there,almost like an alien basically.Her armor doesn't give away that she's a girl,much like her personality (think Metroid). And I sort of want to give her different outfits when she goes to places,like Alice:Madness Returns.I'm done rambling now.

[PastelOctoling]

Important colors are done!

[PastelOctoling]

Armor color concepts are up!

I wouldn't suggest you to use GIMP or MS Paint to paint. If anything, I would suggest you to paint on Photoshop or Paint tool Sai.

Spoiler: Advises are written here

First you have to work on your sketching. Just get a long pencil and start sketching. Don't sketch from your imagination, sketch what is front of you. Look at your table, and just sketch whatever you see. Doesn't matter if it comes out right or wrong, as long as you're doing it, it's good. If you thinking that's boring, too bad. You have the learn to basics.

If you manage to draw good inanimate objects, time to move on to real things. Go to this site, NSFW(This site is full of naked woman and man) And just start drawing those bodies. You might be thinking "But I only do chibi drawings, proportion doesn't really matter in my style." You'd be surprised how much it matters. Almost all the chibi artist, starts with drawing actual people. START DRAWING THEM.

Go in this order. Start by drawing faces, then go draw the bodies, after that draw the full sized people. and keep doing until you're satisfied with your work.

Just remember, There are "bad" works, but there are no "wasted" works. As long as you learn something from drawing them, you're good.

Another note, your drawing ain't bad. it just needs improvements. Just keep practicing

Keep up the good work :D

I will.The only problem I have is not knowing how Photoshop or Paint Tool Sai works.
And thank you!:D

Nobody starts with knowing what to do.

Don't blame your knowledge for not trying at all.

This was literally what happened when I got Mega Man 4 off the eShop for my 3DS.They weren’t kidding when they said Mega Man was hard.Thank gosh I had restore points.

So I drew what happened when I was playing the game.

Spoiler

The first picture is where when you go to Light’s lab to use the P-Chips you get,you have to push a button to get his attention.

Spoiler

I got stuck in a part of Stone Man’s stage. I did get out eventually.

Spoiler

This was me when I fought Charge Man.Or any of the Robot Masters or Ballade.

Spoiler

Pretty much me during both Ballade fights.

I can't save the world for the life of me.

^ I suggest you removing those links. Paint Tool Sai isn't freeware, and it is illegal to distribute those files to others.

On topic, I can see you're more familiar with different poses now. Nice work! Just work on larger scale drawings, You're drawing them way too small.

Okay first off,I had no idea this comment was on the thread.It never popped up in my alert thing.
I don't know how to remove links.
Well,I have a lot of other drawings with different poses,I just never posted them.Probably don't intend to.And two of the drawings were intentionally drawn small.I tried to give it a sort of chibi feeling.Also the sketchbook I have doesn't really allow large drawings,nor can I afford one,so that's also why some of the drawings come off as small.
