So yeah, I draw as a hobby. Been doing it since I was a kid, but I haven't been constantly on my game, which leads my drawings to look really 'meh' and not really too interesting-looking. But it's still one of my favorite things to do when I'm in the mood. Kind of takes my mind off stuff too. They are all hand-drawn, so they are colorless and scanned (Adding more to the meh). But here is my most recent drawing of Veigue...well, my only drawing of him. I used Raven's official art as reference for his head: While I'm at it, I might as well post stuff: This is Ian, a Mercenary character from my RP forum: This is Myrmidon Character that belonged to one of the RPers at my forum (Requested art), Tyler Garrick. The first character I ever RPed as. A cyborg character named Magnus, the Flaming Champion. He belongs to a Mega Man X RP Forum: Another character from the same Mega Man forum, Magnus's older brother, Zeon. Kind of...ignore how short he is in this. I screwed up his proportions VERY badly, as he's supposed to be a really tall guy/cyborg. A random, nameless demon that a friend requested for me to draw so he could edit it for art for his fan game called "Dark Sol": A slightly taller Ness from Mother/Earthbound. A friend wanted me to draw this: This is--Hey, hold on! This isn't a drawing. Who the hell is this crazy-looking guy? ...Wait a minute. *facepalm*

It is said by some that the pencil is the most precise artistic tool.
Try working on proportions. I often look at myself in the mirror or photos of people to see the longs and shorts of the human body. How low are my hands when I put them at my sides? Study the length of your shoulders compared to the top of your head. (Great, since you don't have hair to get in the way!) Then look at where your belly button sits compared to the widest parts of your hips. How long your calves are compared to your thighs. It's just these little things you look over constantly until they're burned into your head, getting those proportions to look more realistic. I still do this, although I can't say I do too much drawing anymore. I'll probably pick it up again in school.
Also, try taking some of your works and add shading. Imagine a point of light and where the shadows would fall. I have to say I love shading. ^_^
I'd like to see more, Veigue. Keep it up.

Just a helpful tip for you. If you aren't afraid of using an eraser, draw your character using basic ovals, circles and blocks. Do this lightly. It helps establish positions and proportions. From there, it becomes easier to flesh out the details of the character.

Another tip: unless you want to only be capable of sketching, do NOT draw like I do. XD On the very bright side, most of these would go wonderfully with the sprites in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and your style for the first Megaman-inspired picture was spot-on. The second one, I think, the pose is a bit more realistic for that art style; the Megaman series is one of those games where I just can't see its characters in anything but an anime pose, so it may just be me. Not bad at all. The last one is exceptionally detailed, especially the poster in the background.

Heh. Thanks, Aeros!
For the Mega Man drawings, I kind of get mixed opinions on the style. It's mostly directed towards them looking more DBZ-ish. But I agree about the pose bit. I tried to make their poses stand out more compared to my other drawings because it just felt like a Mega Man thing. XD
EDIT: Heh, I got ninja'd.
Err...yeah. To be honest, I actually love GT. xD Though I still prefer Z. I have two other posters, one hanging on the wall behind my computer desk that has SSJ Goku and another by my TV with Goku and Vegeta side-by-side with Vegito in front of them...yeah, I'm a DBZ nut. =P

Might as well use this thread for everything I make. Just now uploaded a Tales Series combo video, which can be seen here.
