Well, it&#39;s hard to suggest something. I don&#39;t what you to draw something you have no interest in. Maybe just take on one of your favorite characters. Or maybe something with a mix of human and man-mad features. Like yound Ani&#39;s head in his racing goggles and helmet. That way you get a chance to improve on natural and unnatural objects at the same time. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Seriously though, just do what you feel. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/y.gif

i will have something this week, if i have time i&#39;ll work on an obi for tark&#33; love ya&#33;

[Tarkheki JD]

Thankies&#33; You are too sweet&#33; style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif

[blacksaber]

...hopefully, i gotta get a good pic&#33; i really like your pictures of obi&#33; are you taking art as a college course or something?

[Tarkheki JD]

Yup, I&#39;m in classical animation (Bachlors of applied arts and animation) and filmmaking.
Traditional styles are intigrated in new tech styles too.
Lots of work, But i love it&#33; style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[blacksaber]

once again the unpredictable blacksaber has forsaken all advice and gone with what i wanted to draw. Actually i was doing obi wan, but i got so sick of it i was about to throw up, and it turned out really really bad,s o i don&#39;t want to embaress myself and insult tark with an awful drawing. oh, before i show you my next: when did your really good art skills kick in tark? i&#39;m a freshman in highschool and it&#39;s kinda half half. oh well, ladies and gentlemen, Arwen&#33;

[Tarkheki JD]

Oh, you wouldn&#39;t "insult me" at all&#33;&#33;&#33; Don&#39;t be silly&#33; style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

"Good art skills"... well, problem with that is when looking back, you always think you sucked.... but it&#39;s not as if there is an age for it, just continueing to draw more and more gets you the practice you need. Taking some extra art courses, pickin&#39; up "how to draw" books are a great idea. (I can supply you with a list of the BEST "how to" books that actually yeach you *skill*, and not to "parrot" images).

I&#39;d say you were right on the ball with this stuff. You use tone and use it well (which is something many people don&#39;t do when startin&#39; off), and you have resmblance (I knew it was arwen even before i read your post) so all i&#39;m going to say is: practice your little highny off&#33; style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif
You are right on track&#33; style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[blacksaber]
