For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.














Critiques
Right then, first off I should congratulate you for picking a kinetic pose as opposed to a static, flat posture, it makes the character look much more appealing, of course. From this posture and that expression on his face, I estimate that he is similar to that of a confident, able character. A villain, a hero, perhaps just a friendly guy or intimidating bully, that's where more research would need to be done.
Hm, now I noticed that unlike the previous picture where you asked for critique, this one has standard shading, as opposed to cell shading. Was this on purpose I wonder? Anyway, overall your shading is good, the shadows aren't too hard to make sure it's not over dramatic or flat to make it look uninteresting. Now that I look at your work, I notice you actually use black spots to create blank-darn shadows within the shadows, an unusual technique. It is a bit surprising to see, because this is the kind of thing would would expect to find more in cell shading as opposed to standard shading. And while on the topic of shading, I noticed your use of highlights again, especially on his left leg and right shoulder. It makes more sense in this picture more, since skin and flesh is a bit more understandably able to shine back light, and on a different species: who knows? A few highlights have me wondering however, especially those under his left foot, it makes me wonder where their light source is. Still, it's not too jarring and overall well done.
One last thing, his left ear looks angled a bit. Is this to insinuate that he is perhaps moving inward from the right? If no, there don't seem to be other cues the way he is posed that suggest this. It's not too jarring, though again I am curious.
Overall: nicely done, it's nicely posed and nicely shaded.
