Critique Thread

[HelloJello]

Basically, post anything you would like critiqued here. oAo Hopefully me or another artist will try and come up with something constructive. You hear that, guys? Constructive. Also, get ready to have your balls of steel. Constructive can be blunt.

As for me, I'd like crits on this:

His pose kind of bothers me, especially his arms and legs. A redline and a little explanation would be appreciated. c:

ahh critique threads = <3 as long as they're active
I love doing redline smyself though so lol
human males are far from my best subject, butttttttt

His chest is kind of convex, adding to his cocky attitude a bit.... letting go of it gives him a more natural and relaxed pose
also, the convex chest makes his head look assymetrically placed even though it's centered inbetween his shoudlers... so, yeah, removing that gets rid of that too
I think his elbow was poking out just slightly too much so I shrunk it just a tiny bit
His other hand looks more relaxed if it's turned a different way... a natural, relaxed arm has the palms turned towards the thighs, not backwards
legs are not straight like sticks, I know. But when they're slightly less bended it gives him a more stable position, it's good to have at least one leg straight when having a standing pose like this (meaning he's leaning his weight on that leg)
I think the shading of the other leg made it look a bit chopped off and crooked almost... I think the light should hit it more, giving it a more "present" apperance.
as well I think mote light should be placed on the toes of his shoe for the same reason.. as well as I think it should be slightly more foreshortened to give a more stabile look

...idk if that helped, but yeah... it's just tiny tiny tiny details, I've already said that I overall think he looks great, and I stand by that statement
