What is this character painting for? Is it from a specific fantasy setting (Darksun or the like)? Technique- where is the light source coming from? It seems rather ambiguous. On his face it comes from ... |

Your painting skill is fantastic. I’d say to put a slight shadow under or to the side of his hair so that it doesn’t look like it is pressed completely to his forehead. And I’m not c ... |

Critique- The heads and faces seem really flat compared to the rest of the body. The neck area is very ambiguous as to how two heads fit onto the shoulders. His left arm appears to be significantly lo ... |

Spend more time scribbling out shapes and ideas before diving in and trying a full-page piece. I’ve found it helpful if you reserve a sketchbook for only rough concepts. You simply must not atte ... |

Loki is onto something with the comment about the sun. Putting in a perfect circle behind those bright clouds could look really good. The lighting on the slanted roof and nosepiece seems off. If the s ... |

Rough coloring isn't a bad idea but I would suggest that you sketch out a few more drawings before moving on to anything inked or seriously colored. I don't know what process you used to reach this p ... |

The image really turned out nicely. I especially like all the boxes and doorways and lights in the lower right. They really give it the post-apocalyptic (destroyed stuff that people have to live in) l ... |

Jason knows what he is talking about. In Silicon Valley the start should be 35k at the bare ass minimum. And that is really low in relationship to the cost of living. A lot of fellows try to get in th ... |

It rarely "happens" on the first try, even with the experienced fellows. These spontaneous ideas often take form quickly but require a bit of working and reworking to become fully realized. The most i ... |

White paint and pasting new paper over the top of the drawing are definitly two ways to edit your sketch. Mostly it looks as though white paint is used for highlights on dark surfaces. If you redraw a ... |

It may just be the way your vehicle is designed but this last one seems to be rounded also. Maybe if you draw the vanishing point lines and the axis a bit stronger. It could also be that your drawing ... |

Why not start over? Whole new sheet of paper and do the marker thing again. But this time you have a rough idea. You may find new and interesting designs that you like more. And at worst you have a co ... |

Probably not a bad idea to take it (the moon thing) out. It's not really lined up with your lighting. I really like the painting though. And you're right about the monitors near the plane being too bi ... |
