PSF: Calling out Artonstuff

Are images for t-shirts easier than these?

Heck, you can make t-shirts out of your pummel work.

Tee Shirts are 1000 times easier then drawing this stuff, Its all basic shapes. I am trying, really i am but everthing i try to draw is all lop sided and way out of shape, even thou i use all of the processes i have learned in my course, I just have a really hard time drawing like this. The piece i was trying to draw to replace my ORG PSF is soooo frikkin out, I even cut it short so i wouldn't have to draw one of the hands which i had re drawn no less then 20 times, so much so the paper was worn right throu.

EDIT: I threw the piece in question up in the WIP section, Everyone will have a field day pulling it apart LOL!

Here's an idea... Any chance you have a light box or something similar you could use? If you're ripping through paper, you either need to sketch lighter (and get a better eraser), or consider doing various versions on "traced" sheets. That might help you with things being lopsided as well. You could flip your image (like if you were looking in the mirror) and see what's wrong with it.

I think some people have built light boxes for pretty cheap before.

I can use my cintiq, to do that, Do a basic sketch then scan it on and go from there, I was just trying to stay no tech like, to see if i could improve, it's proving to be most difficult. I just got a job to design 3 new tees for a baseball league, and 2 book illistrations, So i think the pummel, and PSF will be it for a bit. I need to feed my family LOL!

You can improve using your cintiq. No one is forcing you to use pencil. If sketching is easier for you digitally, go for it.
That'll help you with "mirror flipping" as well.

Well you've seen my art where i used it, Miles ahead of what i just posted, when I use my Cintiq, I have the abililty to pull it back or focus in.... Rotate the image, Flip it. It just helps so much. I was just trying to do more traditional art. But i think i need to comes to terms with the fact i will never be able to draw like that without aides. Like i said before, My DAD is an awesome artist, He would give even some of you guys a run LOL!. but he requires refs for everything. He can't draw from his head. So i guess like father like son?

I do appreciate all the help everyone has given. but i think I am going back to my way of drawing, I won't be able to join any of the pencil only Pummels, but I can do all the others

Anything can be broken down into basic shapes. Including poses and muscle structure. If you think about things that way it may be easier for you. You just need to be able to see the shapes in your head and how those shapes interact and connect with each other.
