Okay i was bored so i made an avatar of myself and a pic of one of my friends on ms paint so i was thinking maybe i would see how good they are. :D

 

 

 

Dont hate too much cause i know im not very good ;)

 

 

 

[hide=pics!]

also some tips on how to get better would be cool. im new with the drawing thing on mspaint and i dont have photoshop or anything

You don't need photoshop, trust me ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah, general rule; don't save as JPEG.

Please draw on paper if you want to learn. Right now they're very childish and very poor. Learn anatomy, draw what you see (not what you think you see) and really just sketch everything in the world around you. It's the best way to learn.

 

 

 

 

 

And never, NEVER use Runescape as a reference. Even people who do Runescape "fan art" only use it as a rough idea. Otherwise you get something like you posted, which (I'm sorry) looks like a 5-8 year old's art project.

I bet you got that saved as a word document saved as "4noobs." :lol:

 

 

 

They look alright, but your brush was too thick when you where outlining the coat and your people are a bit out of proportion. I'm assuming you used ms paint?

You pull that picture out often, Nad. :|

 

But I agree, if you're going to do anything at all, do it correctly.

To add to what's been said.. did you just cut and paste the things he's holding from game icons? they're both fully shaded when the rest of the picture has no shading at all.. i mean, look at the size of them, it'd be quicker to draw them from scratch than to spend the time cutting them out. #-o

C'mon guys i know alot of us get synical about all these new artists and they really need to improve but nice comments please? Just a kind request.

 

 

 

Like nadril showed you, try to work on the anatomy and read some tutorials on pixel shading :) If you are into cartooning then maybe download a slightly more pro program and experiment with it :)

It looks like your are having a go at pixel graphics. If you want to get better take a look on tutorials for shading, and definetly use Nadril's pictures as references when trying to get anatomy right.

 

 

 

Keep it up :thumbup: It'll be nice to see work from you in the future.

Nadril has said it all :shock:

 

 

 

If you want to go for that more cartoony look, try get CorelDRAW. Its like illustrator but easier to use. Heaps of online comic artists use it.
