Welcome to the forums!! My one piece of advice I would give to some one starting from scratch would have to be draw as often as you can and don't become discouraged!! There is a lot to learn but just take it one day at a time, if you stick with it you will get where you want to go. Also try to keep all of your drawings/sketches/studies because down the road when you look back at this stuff you will be able to more easily see the progress you are making!! I look forward to seeing more of your stuff!! ^__^

Im excited to watch your journey! The best of luck!

Hey there! I'm also working to be a Character Asset artist. looks like you got some pretty good flow going, and you are focusing on anatomy which is good! I would work a bit more on the perspective, it's off in a couple of the drawings. The legs are a bit short/inconstant in some of the poses. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged! You can do it! Can't wait to see more!

A lot better! Remember that the closer the subject gets to the camera the bigger it will get. The other thing that I'm noticing is on some of them the balance is a bit off. Make sure the center of gravity is the point of contact, the exception to this is if there is movement.
I really like the archery one!

I should be sticking around, I'm going to start uploading some of my own art soon!

Seems good, However when making a concept art it's always nice to draw the same character with different poses, angles, and closeups of parts of the body. Just something to keep in mind.

Te figure drawing are great! The lower row in the second figure drawing is especially nice.

It seems strange to me, that you tested what you learned by painting a clothed, still standing figure, plus with limbs missing. Don't get me wrong, the design is nice, but it seems to beat the purpose of doing figure drawings.
Try doing more dynamic poses, people doing crazy things like the ones you see when you practice! And when you stumble upon a pose that you don't know how to do, take notice of what part you are struggling with and concentrate on it extra hard next time you study.

I hope you keep this up, it's great to see a determined person progressing!

@thesolidmoose This is what I'm working on at the moemnt:

On your concept I like the idea! To get some more interesting combos you can try making 3-6 of the same character just changing small things, like clothing, colors, hairstyles ect... you can use the alt key and the move tool to drag drag and duplicate a selection or layer duplicate it without creating new layers.

Also, references are awesome, don't feel bad for using them. Don't copy them, but pay attention to some of the elements in them. For example these are some of the references I'm using for my current project. I can see that you are thinking about why the character has certain features, and that is awesome! Keep it up!

Edit: I forgot to mention the program I'm using for references. It's called PureRef.

I need to learn environments better, that's why I'm doing them. Characters are my favorite!

The reference program is really cool. To use it you drag straight from the web or from your computer, you don't have to download at all. So it's really easy to just brows google images for a while, find things you like and break them apart mix match and just draw from the inspiration!

Wow they look really cool! What I do to practice anatomy, is to power through figure drawing. I use many references of poses and try to draw them as quickly as possible, then I go back and refine them with detail. As for the anatomy in your sketches, it's pretty nice in terms of shape however some proportions seem a bit off. The template you used seems female, and using a female reference can throw off some proportions when making a male sketch. Just something to keep in mind when using references
