Well, here's my second pic (after the lion). I tried to focus more on big colors and shading, and I thought the perfect pratice would be my very own popcan.



Anyway, obviously this is my web version, I never compress anything that I print. Nothing. In fact, its usually 10x bigger and I just zoom out to work on it. Any suggestions or comments will be welcome, and I'm off to my next drawing.

First, work on your basic shapes: your ellipses are all screwed up, your straight lines are shaky. Do some basic exercise on that when you have 5 minutes (when you're on the phone, in school, in an office meeting, whatever...) Just learn to draw nice circles, cubes, spheres, ellipses.
Then work on your lighting. Your coloring is ok but you have NO lighting at all in your scene. Try to draw from real life: put a can on a table in a dark room, and place an artificial light on one side. You'll see shadows and highlights.
Go to the basics. That's what you need. And sorry if that doesn't sound fun.

Thanks for the input. This is my second pic. with my wacom tablet, I'm not exactly used to it yet. Seems so different looking one place and drawing another. I'm 15, so I think I've got a lot of practise ahead of me; anyway, I'll work on your suggestions.

what i think helps in general when your starting out (i still am) is to make sure everything is mechanically correct before you start doing all the work coloring. Its a lot easier to change a few lines than to completely rearrange a painting. But i dont know about the differences with a tablet i dont have mine yet. Someone suggested putting paper over it in another post i read i think. I dunno, maybe you want to look for it.
