I got bored cuz there was nothing to watch on TV, and most of the message boards were too quiet [note time of this post]. I decided to try my hnd and drawing using geometric shapes, and the rusults astounded me! I ended up drawing Jack using Octan's Tutorial [if I could, I would be showering you with gifts right now] and then altered it to be a character sheet. See for yourself:
Ok so it may just be the paencil version for now, but I'm working on cleaning it up and coloring him.
Also, I'm just noticing now that I left out his wings. It's probably for the best though, I still can't draw those very good.

Double post due to finished Character sheet:
There actually was a reason behind the First lettering being green, but I messed up so I couldn't do it. Again, Thank you Octan for making that surprisingly Simple Tutorial on Drawing an Anthro character.
Also, I'm sorry for that one word in the Character sheet, there's no real way I can edit it.
Anyway what do you guys think?

Again, Post due to update. I decided to take the origianl and add some wings, I did good on the demon wing, but I had to replace the origianl Angel wing with a different version to make it appear more like a mirror image od the Demon wing.
If you notice, I also did a revision on the Wings themselves from the originals.

Here's the one of the Character sheet with wings colored. I got Lazy so I just croped, Cut, and pasted the words from the original on to there.
EDIT: Shoot. I can't figure out how to EXACTLY show that someone's female. I mean I know what I need to draw, but I don't know how to draw them! I'm working on Julie right now for those who want to know.

That is looking very nice! Maybe I should look up the tutorial...now everyone is better than me
For trying to make sure your character looks female, I have the same problem. I find that paying special attention the the eys and hair, miking them seem more lighted and (to put bluntly) girly. Somebody on another board I remember had a pole asking wether or not drawing a character nude to better your skills was "acceptable". I think it is and could be a good way to practice. Trial and error I say. Good luck.

Well I did
something that I hope makes her look girly. Guys don't usually wear Middrifts right?

good Sir you need a Self Esteem Check.
EDIT: Here's Julie!

There is a reason that was at font size one.
Nice job, looks a little lopsided, but I'm sure you know that.
Also, better make the image smaller before you get the same lecture as me.

I'd make her thinner, her shoulders look manly, but nice work otherwise.

Edited the original Sketch to make her arms thinner, but to lazy to upload it and color it XD
Any other suggestions on improvements? I really need it people. Esspecially before I tackle Reane, Like if someone knows a shortcut to drawing *ehem* female parts

Don't let yourself get all flustered about it. That's why it seems difficult, you feel embarresed about it. You're going to strain yourself to makeing it right, but in you head you keep hearing Pervert....peeeerveeeert...
Am I right or what?
Anyway, just chill. You'll get it.

I'd suggest thinner shoulders definitely. Also, try and make her perhaps a slight bit smaller than the men...I know this isn't always what it's like in real life, but you need a way to disdinguish her from a male. Plus, you need to give her more of a curvier look...the way she is currently drawn makes her look a little stalkier (sp?) and therefore gives her the look of a male. Also, I'd suggest more noticable breasts...no, I'm NOT a perv, but I find this helps in giving the viewer the impression that the character is female. Also, if you're having a tough time making her look very female, little things like longer eyelashes go a long way.

Nice pics. And osprey said more or less what I would suggest on how to draw females, unfortunately if you hadn't said it I'd not have noticed that second character was female.
