Aww, aren't you sad? Didn't wait for my reply.
Here it is, in all it's glory.
Let's clear this up. I do not hate goths--I just laugh at them. They're defensive, angry, and paranoid and therefore amuse me. Mocking amusement is not the same thing as hate. I said Static-X is mediocre (they have a few decent songs). Did you miss that? Or are your reading comprehension just that abysmal?

<quote>MY scanner is crap I needed to change the setting so the shadows could actually be seen.</quote>
Then why didn't you do that? Or do it correctly? Or try until you got it right?

<quote>I don't have the right art pencil for details right now. I couldn't get the mouth how it was in the reference image. What am I going to do, walk out of my biology class and go to commercial art and ask for art pencils? Hell no!</quote>
A good artist is resourceful. You don't need much for details--perhaps a mechanical pencil. Or at least in my experience.

<quote>And no, Tripp doesn't have eyebrows...</quote>
WIN! I was not expecting to be right.

<quote>Hairy arms? Where the hell are you getting hairy arms? OK, I couldn't draw the left arm because he is not SHOWING IT [link] <-- look at the reference picture and tell me where his arm is. Those lines in the crappy shading I did are from my crappy pencil. I didn't have the mechanical pencil I use, I had to use a normal pencil you have to sharpen every ten seconds.</quote>
The hairy arms refer to the right arm (viewer's left). I use those sort of lines to sketch out a figure when I'm trying to get an idea of how it will look--but I go back and refine them. You didn't, so he looks like a Sasquatch. Personally, I always liked the effect of the blunted tip of a pencil--smoother lines and easier shading. Speaking of which...

<quote>Lack of shading? I TRIED OK?!</quote>
Did you? I noticed some decent shading on the shirt, but the rest of it was non-existent. The eyebrow ridge throws shadows unless there is very bright, very direct lighting on his face--which nothing else in the picture indicates, therefore nullifying your categorization of this picture as 'realism.'

<quote>Critique puts people down and I can improve on my own.</quote>
Only if your ego is as fragile as glass. Is it? Are you that thin-skinned?
Also, other people will notice things you do not. The artist often gets so wrapped up in the picture that they are blind to areas of improvement immediately after completing a piece. I ask for critiques of my photographs and this is why I have a beta for my writing. They catch things I miss. Also, sitting on a piece for a while after you finish it often gives you time to step away from it and allows for a clearer view of it.
Something to think about: if you look at the DDs, you may notice that the artist asks for a critique--even though the pieces are often fantastic. There's always room for improvement and others will always see things you miss.

<quote>And where is it YOU GOD DAMN PLACE to even TELL me that I am going to always suck when you could stand for some improvement too.</quote>
Don't put words in my mouth. NO WHERE did I say that I couldn't use some improvement as an artist. Go back and read the bleeding post.

<quote>I don't hate your realism--it's just sucks and needs improvement. <-- Oxymoron much? It's like saying "I'm not here on dA and yet I am right now!"</quote>
Please engage your brain before responding. If I hated it, I wouldn't have given you advice. AGAIN, you have potential! I saw some decent bits and if you paid attention to my post, you would have noticed that I give you suggestions on what you can do better. Follow that advice, and you will improve.

Have a nice (off-line, please) life!
