It might just be part of your style, but I've noticed that you tend to draw the mouth low, the neck and legs short, and the torso upright, without the s-curve of the spine. Also, the pelvis could be a little taller. I love your environments though!
@AlexanderLee1 Actually I take that back. It's definitely just the style of the character, because you have some characters from a few years ago that are completely different.
this is great man! i love to see your process! and very nice options with the clothing. very cool how you can throw something on her and choose which is best.
I think you can upload these directly as video format with 1600x1200 and then youtube will set 1080p and original size, the original size will load faster..
I can't help but wonder what kind of brush you are using for your lineart? :) - When I try to do lineart it is not as crisp and "controlled" as yours, meaning mine can't help but look messy and not very clean.
@MrCitrin3 (Also replied to MrCitrin3) Actually the reason your lines are messy isn't the Bamboo. An intuos or Cintiq will most likely improve some of your drawing cleanliness due to size, however, the biggest reason for messy lines is likely unrefined technique. Many artists around the world produce top-notch work with old Graphire 4's. Surely there's more going on there to allow them to do than than just their tablet :) Practice makes best.
@MrCitrin3 Wow, I wish I could even touch one! I just upgraded from a bamboo (original) to an Intuos4. It actually makes all the different for me because of the waay larger active area.
@miniteichman you have no idea how cool going to school is now since they got it :O
and let me tell you when they tell you nothing replaces paper it's not true... i mean this is just a level of interactivity that let's you draw the way you want to....
don't get me wrong the tool doesn't make the artist but it makes drawing alot easier since you can correct resize etc and the lines flow like no other tablet i've seen
@MrCitrin3 Oh yeah, I really want on but can't afford one! the only problem I have is that my co-ordination on a tablet is still not as good as on paper b/c its a disconnect from standard drawing. But with a cintiq, its exactly the same if not better! You are very lucky!

@Zitrixa In my brush set, which you can find on my DA account, I use brush #3 in Row 04. It's a brush sensitive to opacity with pressure and NOT diameter change. I find this to be an excellent brush for sketching since it allows you to adjust the intensity of the line much like a pencil rather than its diameter. Looks a little more realistic, keeps you a little looser.
@WaZZupOpen Well, in the intro credits I say that the video is sped up at about 1200%. The video is about 7 minutes long... 12 x 7 = 84. So I'd say the total uncompressed time of this drawing is about 90 minutes.
I find that somewhere around 5 to 7 minutes is a good length for videos like this. I could make it 15 minutes long, but most people would probably jump ahead because of slow progression. Better to get to the point! It's easier to put music to, as well.
You're the man here...

@miniteichman it's not just me who gets to use it :P but i do skip class sometimes to use it :P
and the cinqit has more pressure settings so your strokes will always be precise and with the right thickness :D

@MrCitrin3 Yeah, but at least you *get* to use it
