Thanks Jamoose! I uploaded the roar drawing for you since you like pencil drawings :P. I was going to have a crazy big serpent/dragon lookin dude behind him. My plan was to give the monk a skill to summon the spirit of Trang'oul to help him fight. But I didn't finish the skill tree either haha
Yeah I don't draw often at all so I was actually pretty happy with how it turned out.
I like when ppl can take their drawings and paint/photoshop them into awesomeness. lol. Unfortunately I donno how to do any of that stuff!
Any tips with what I could do to encahnce the drawing in photoshop would be welcome!

Yeah i played the monk a lot in guild wars a few years back so I used his figure and tried to add and change bits too it. The Monk was so fun to play in that game! Though I didn't 'trace' it - I did use a guild wars monk pic to keep me from making the proportions too big etc.
I in no way claim that I drew the dude without heavily depending on the guild wars monk. I am only really beginning to draw so I find using other pics/drawings really helpful to teach me how to keep in proportion etc.
Hopefully in the near future I will be able to do it without any aid.
Cheers for the comments.

Hey man nice job with that, good pose and the proportions are working well.
Regarding the face, you need to make the eyes a lot more defined, looks quite unclear and i not able to pick out features of the eyes. Though this might be a scanner or my screen problem
while working on lineart there are many methods you can take to make things stand out more. A simple approach is to pick up a softer pencil and pick out the outline of key features such as the shoulderpads, weapons etc, anything you want to focus on. Draw a little harder on the paper without tearing it in two
Another trick but a little more trickier is to develop shading that contrasts in you key areas..that will also create a more focal point.
But yea man good to see more art comin in, kep it up man this piece looks like it can be coloured and finished to a solid concept :thumbsup:
Cheers for the tips Naj.

Here's another tip, one that probably any ol' online tutorial will tell you: draw shapes first, and then put detail on top of them. I can tell you freehanded it from start to finish because nothing is quite in proportion, or even much centered. Just throw down some circles where everything should be and turn them into heads and torsos later! Even if you mess up later and the detail is lacking or awkward, the picture as a whole will be a lot stronger.
Not trying to put you down or anything - you're doing better than a lot of people could - but I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
Cool - thanks man. Glad you liked it enough to have a play around with it!
Some Rep 4 u!

Creatively however, you've taken the monk straight out of Guild Wars, there is absolutely no way you created this on your own without copying from GW.
Yeah i played the monk a lot in guild wars a few years back so I used his figure and tried to add and change bits too it. The Monk was so fun to play in that game! Though I didn't 'trace' it - I did use a guild wars monk pic to keep me from making the proportions too big etc.

How about darkening the shadows just a tad to give a little more depth
But cool drawing, i also like pencil drawings.
See and enjoy it.
