As you can tell from the title, I'm not actually built like this. I just wanted to do a self-glorifying self-portrait. I'm going to color this, so please, no one beat me to the punch.
The chest, the abdomen, the legs look very good ( although the trousers should fold a little bit different - but that's minor). Nice work on the spear too. The arms - on the other hand - look quite strange - right arm looks misplaced while the left wrist looks severely broken. But things like that can happen, since you choose hard positions to draw
I definitely had some trouble with the arms. I've found that drawing difficult positions and angles tends to reveal to me what I need to work on. And you've confirmed it.
But you should learn to walk before you try to run. And difficult poses tend to make learning much more difficult than it really is. While you learn to draw arms in straight angles, it'll be a lot easier for you to make such poses, while learning the anatomy in unnatural poses and interesting angles, you don't learn how they look 'normally'...
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
