>>278>I break lines and shit. Is that an amateur problem?It is one common problem, yeah, but one that's easy to correct with a little practice.
What it looks like you may be doing is drawing with a very thin line at only one magnification, and using your wrists more often than not to do so which is why you have so many tiny, broken lines. You want to sort of "awaken" the muscles in your shoulder and elbow through repetitive practice so you can use them to make the kinds of long, smooth lines that your wrist alone isn't capable of.
For example, you can probably draw a decent circle up to a certain size with your wrist, but going beyond that is impossible, whereas using your shoulders and elbow you can draw a circle as big as you want (
http://youtu.be/eAhfZUZiwSE?t=1m3s) but may conversely find drawing very small circles or lines difficult.

For what it's worth, the first things I notice from looking at it are how small the hands are, how awkward his right leg is, and the angle of his right foot in particular. It shouldn't be able to bend so far. That said, the head and the torso show some promise.

But if it happens I'll at least be able to tell you how well they pay.
As for your boar, look at pic related as reference. The main problem I see is that the shape of the neck should be convex, rather than concave. I can't see the shape of the curve of his head either, it makes it look like his right ear is actually a protrusion coming out of its forehead. Finally, the lowest tusk looks a bit too flat, make it a bit rounder and use the markings to give it volume. With those fixes in mind, it'd be a solid 8/10 IMO.

Yeah that is pretty gay. The rendering is pretty solid though. One thing that kind of irks me is the foreshortening between the back stage-right leg and the back stage-left. The size discrepancy seems a bit too great, but I lack the formal skill to articulate it in the form of a red line.

You're completely right, foreshortening just kills me and I have an awful time getting it to look consistent.

The chair is huge - she barely looks like she's sitting on it, if at all and the pose looks quite silly though I can tell what you were going for; you might want to use a reference from Castlevania or some such next time! The neck is enormous, keep your proportions in mind-there is about one head's distance between the head and the ''bottom' of the chest on a man and only just above it for a woman due to the breasts, in this piece her head is about one head's length from the clavicle area. Considering the composition there isn't much to look at besides the character itself, a good portion of the picture is mostly superfluous.
I think it would be wise to consider consolidating your painting practice with some more line drawing so you can get more practice in with less time investment.

Look at 80's and 90's anime, that era produced some of the more "realistic" looking animated characters. Ghost in the Shell etc.. I'm getting the impression from your work that you're still struggling with fundamental artistic problems though like most of us, you should consider approaching more formal drawing to supplement any investigation into "style" that you do. It doesn't matter what your style is. If you don't know anatomy, understand proportion and so on you're gonna have a bad time.

Starting with the leftmost image:
The shoulder blades are actually pretty much the topmost portion of the shoulders themselves (besides the trapezius muscles that extend down from the neck and feed into the deltoids).

I like it, pose is a little awkward though and there's some other related problems.
The problem that stands out most to me is the size discrepancy between his two feet. I feel like you tried to create the suggestion of his foot being farther back by shading in his stage-left leg but the illusion of depth is muddled by the fact that his little ankle dorsal fins are the same size on either side, and his heel and toes of both feet are nearly parallel with each other in spite of the big size difference.

You've drawn the clavicle and sternomastoid as a single form; that ain't right, brah! Also you definitely need work on your rendering. It looks like you're shading with black/using the burn tool and while that's a pretty utilitarian approach to making "one part darker than the other" it's not really right if that makes sense. The body itself looks pretty flat. If you find yourself drawing "busts" and portraits of characters exclusively it'd probably be a good idea to invest more time into drawing the figure as a whole.
