So right off the bat I can say that your monster drawings/drawings of non-human creatures are far better and more detailed than your human(-like) characters. You also seem to work way better without any consistent line-art as your usage of that seems rather lacking in most sketches. Sahding and coloring look like they don't really have much direction and planning out, there is inconsistency as to where the shadows are placed (still way better than what I could pull off though).

Your biggest issue seems to be human anatomy, especially in movement and places like the neck/shoulders. So I'd recommend working on those.

I like your dragon though, especially that last head-sketch. I'd like to see more of those, especially body shots or shots with different angles and perspective.

Hey, thanks for the crit.

I know I'm better at dragons and monsters etc, actually I've been drawing them for several years longer than manga style (hence why they are more detailed/generally better). Also yeah I suck at neck/shoulders lol although I haven't posted any drawings with those in that I've done recently (most of the stuff I dumped is old work) I've been trying to concentrate on them as much as possible. (KIND OF SHY SO I TEND TO POST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I DRAW IT). Honestly I'm not sure why I have so much trouble with them kek, I think (hope) I got better recently though.

I'd like to draw more dragons (comfort zone) but because I'm trying to catch up with animu I've been drawing less of them recently, guess I'll have to treat myself lel

Uh one more thing when you say  'You also seem to work way better without any consistent line-art as your usage of that seems rather lacking in most sketches.' what do you mean? Lineart is something with a finished/cleaned work that comes after a sketch right?

You're probably right, I didn't really find another word to say what I mean.
What I was implying is pretty much just that your lines are messy in a generally unpleasant way, while the sketches that are based on colour compositions work really well and show what you can pull off. I know what I am saying is really confusing, my english vocabulary is rather unrefined, but I hope my point came across. To give you examples, the sketches like Sekibanki and the legless Dragon/Wyvern are really cool, while the sketches done without colours and with lines instead (so the vast majority of the Touhou-characters) don't came out so well.

But yeah, catching up is important. Just don't forget to further work on your roots.

On a tangentially related note,

If her neck extended up there it'd be a bit long wouldn't it? Her head detaches you kn-

Thanks for the clarification, I guess this is why people don't post sketches lel.  I don't let myself use an eraser in the sketch stage otherwise i spend hours fussing over it so the ones I posted are literally just like my doodles, without cleanup or lineart. Maybe in future I should refrain from posting them unless I clean them or something.

I drew preliminary sketches for both sekibanki and the dragon then painted over using them as guidelines, that's their normal purpose so I don't usually bother cleaning them up.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate crit and I'll take note regarding posting unclean stuff.

[Delfigamer]

Yep, the joke was that the neck review happened to happen right after a picture of Sekibanki.
Then again, I'm that one person who drools over Merrys with extraordinarily thin necks, so I don't think I'll make any actually useful feedback there.

[Lunatic Sinsack]

Oh I think posting your sketches is just fine. After all, most errors are made in the early stages, so pointing them out then is a good way to make sure of a better outcome.

That's a good way to go about it actually.

Lel yeah, bad timing. Just to avoid misunderstandings though, I am talking about the actual connection from neck to torso - If the neck is even a thing to consider, of course.

[Vyrien]
