Mostly, I do work with pencil. I covered my signature because I have a rather...unique...last name, and I'd prefer not to be stalked.

Probably my favorite one.

This one came out pretty nicely, as well.

Thinking about improving on this one...

A bit gory...the movement works out, though...

Bawww, I wish I could draw wings better.

My characters are faceless because I want to convey emotion through body language and symbolism rather than expressions, and I also like for viewers to interpret them with their own idea of what the face(s) should look like. Family, a friend, a lover. Whatever. I'd love to hear what you get from these scenes, and any suggestions or critisicms you might have.

I'm working on a new one that I will post as soon as I'm finished, so keep an eye out if you're interested. There will probably be many more to come.

I might just do a less depressing one sometime! But that all depends on the way I feel. :cool:
 
These are pretty good and some of the poses are quite dynamic, but as a fellow artist, I'm going to offer a few words of critique.

First one: The boy's arms seem to be a bit long. His torso is rather elongated as well. I would try bringing his pants up just a bit more so his upper body is better porportioned with his lower.

Second one: Again with the boy's torso. It just seems to be a bit too long. Also his feet seem to be extremely small in proportion to his legs. Try studying some feet tutorials (because believe me, I have a terrible time drawing feet as well!) Also watch your heads. The girl's head seems to be a bit bigger than her body. Try making it just a bit smaller next time and practice your hands a bit more.

Third one: I love the pose in this one. It almost seems as if this being is in despair. Very good use of emotional conveyance here. The hand just seems to be a bit strange though. The fingers look somewhat tiny compared to the thumb.

Fourth one: I like the pose in this one as well, but watch the length on your legs and arms. The left arm seems to be just a bit small while the left leg seems to be a bit too long. The thigh is very elongated.

Fifth one: The bodies on these guys seem to be almost wiry. I would try adding a bit more curvature in the body so as not to make it look so wavy. The middle girl's torso is a tad too long as well and her arms seem to be a bit long and the legs are too short. Have you thought about working with what are called guidelines? They are extremely helpful and aid you along when you're working with drawing human proportions.

You have some extreme potential here and with a lot of practice and hard work, you definitely better yourself. Please don't take offense to what I've written here above. I just wanted to offer some advice because all of us artists, me included, can use it and we can improve as well ^_^ I do have some human drawing tutorials. If you're interested, drop me a PM and I'll be happy to send them to you. Good luck!
 
These are all very good. I really like the fact that you leave your characters faceless - you've got a great reasoning behind it, and I think you managed to capture what you were aiming for.
