Welcome to the forums :-)
Since you are obviously still practicing and the art is not fit for mainline,
I moved it to Art Workshop.

Mmm great try, But obviusly is not mainline quality. It looks a bit infantil (obvious) and his arms have a very unnatural position. The legs are not bad, in fact they're pretty good camparing them to the rest of the drawing and the face is very strange. Continue practicing and If i find the image I'll send you a draft with orcish proportions.

"Mmm Buen intento, obviamente no tiene calidad para ser oficial. Parece un poco infantil (por otra parte obvio) y sus brazos tiene una posicion muy forzada. Las piernas estásn muy bien comparadas con el resto del dibujo pero la cara es muy extraña. Si encuentro la imagen te posteo un borrador que hice con las proporciones de un orco. ¡Continua practicando y animo! PD: No hace falta postear datos personales. En mi opinion no es recomendable ponerlos en la red.

Well, I only have to say one thing and I don't want to be rude, but you have to study the body proportions with sketches. I'm not an expert and in fact I have no idea of pc drawing but I think I have a little idea of drawing and this body doesn't make sense for me. For example, the neck is too long, and the position of arms and legs is not really natural.
¡Salud!
PD: (En castellano) Yo creo que deberías bocetar mucho hasta que consigas controlar más las proporciones y posiciones del cuerpo humano y luego ya jugar con unas proporciones un tanto exageradas para los orcos. Por ejemplo, el cuello es demasiado largo y la posición de brazos y piernas no es natural.

You should read this: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21138. It is a tutorial on how to draw, color, and shade portraits. It was created by kitty, who drew about half of the portraits in the game.

Em... When you have new drawing it is better to make new post, because when you edit old posts, there is no sign that thread has changed, thus making it hard for people to know you have made new drawing.
As for this, sorry, it's proportions again. Also, pose looks awkward and unnatural, I suggest finding actual photographs of archers and using them as reference.

No. Make your posts in a single thread. If you work on a new drawing just rename the thread by renaming the title of your first post (edit).
