Loosely based on one of Torstein's self-portraits. Poorly done, but I need to kick it in gear. <1 hr

Torstein, I couldn't figure out what was really happening with the little guy with the white-eyed roll back. I figure he's either fainting or was touched by the undead, but I'm not sure if he is just ...

Once again (refering to earlier 'Tor' post), I'm out to lunch on this, but I haven't even hinted at a background for a very long time, but this one suggested itself quite strongly, so I felt the need ...

I know I'm pretty timelate on this one, but I've been at sea for a while. I don't have the ability to post while out there, but I was inspired by Torstein Nordstrand's http://www.geocities.com/dogfoo ...

I'm not usually one to post raving fanboy comments, but I really like this piece quite a bit. The stillness of the figures is marvellously contrasted with the motion in the "background". It's more t ...

Overall, I think you've got some good things going, such as a coherent overall lighting plan and some decent perspective (often lost on these kind of shots) and an especially nice dispaly of your rend ...

Mr. Crowley is right. Look at where you've put the horizon. Often that is the viewer's eye level (it drops lower when you rise above the ground, but is still only 3 or 4 degrees depressed at 30,000 ...

Be very careful with dodge and burn. If you're comfortable with traditional media, you realize you can't just scrub to blend and add black to make shadows.

My advice, though I don't use PS (in my vi ...

Try drawing your own hands. You should have at least one available at any given time. There are several spots around the web dealing with hand construction. Getting comfortable with hands and feet ...

It's too bad no one has replied, yet.

Overall, I can see you trying to tie color, composition, and feel into the figure. Using long, flowing hair and great, billowing strips of cloth can be very dra ...

Sorry about the double reply, but this project really got me thinking and I hope you don't mind, but I did a couple really quick sketches to illustrate my point about the figure in relation to the com ...

It looks very good, but her right hand is resting on a dozen cream-filled donuts and four triple thick chocolate shakes. She has got some POOCH sticking out above the belt.

Also, the purple lightnin ...

The first thing I would do is try to lay in that position (but I won't, because it looks painful), then I'd scour references for a busty woman in a similar pose. Try catalogs (Vic's comes immediately ...

I think your technical skill is quite evident, but what strikes me is the composition. It seems very strong and pleasing. It leads the eye to the top, lets it enjoy the view, then as it leaves, the ...

This may be a pretty tough subject to tackle so early. It is, at least, a very pretty subject. I would love to find more like this.

One of the most important things in any drawing is identifying co ...

Whenever you do odd angles, a neat little way to make sure your eye isn't skewing things around is by making your computer do it. Just rotate things around and flip horizontal every so often and you' ...

There is a very raw, harsh feel to this piece that appeals to me. I like the near-juxtaposition of the rough lines describing the soft scene.

Actually, your anatomy isn't all that off, with the nota ...

I hope you don't mind, but I did a quick repaint to illustrate some points.

I labeled a couple parts on her legs; I know what you're trying to do with the little bulge at number one, but in this posi ...

There are a couple of anatomy issues (his trapezius running into his sternocleidonasteoid [attack of the anatomy book]), but you have a marvelous grasp of light, shadow, and reflected light. You can ...

There are some serious anatomy issues (legs, hands, pose) and some rabid blur beast seems to have attacked it while you weren't looking.

I'd like to give a deeper critique, but I'm not sure how much ...

Nice job with the complimentary colors (I love how digital media allows you to do that so easily).
You might even be well-served to incorporate some blue highlights on the skin and hair.
I'm really ...

Well, I have to tell you, I tried to stand in the position you have her in and I'm forwarding my chiropractic bill to you (and I fell into my book case!). She's twisting in one direction down to the ...

Those are some pearly whites. And the whites of her eyes: she wouldn't have lasted 10 seconds in the Revolutionary War.

Without a ref, I can't comment much further, with the exception that your sign ...

That box leads the eye off of the bottom of the paper with an almost dizzying velocity. I would have to say (own opinion) that this element isn't helping the composition.

Those are fantastic critiques! I think it can be a very strong piece if you take them to heart.

What I see is the incongruities in the shading. Her upper left arm has a very strong shading on the t ...

I really like this (and the picture, too).

The texture of the table, glass and sweat ring are great. The reflections on the bottle remind me of Nancy Stahl's work (which I really admire).

The only ...

It belongs to somebody else?

If it's his, it would angle more toward the elbow, just below the upper arm. Right now, it's coming from his navel (oh, the el-bow's connected to the... nay-vel).

There are some really good examples of female facial features.
It seems like you're not accounting for the three dimensional qualit ...

I really like this. It would help if we knew what kind of character he is, though (swaggering, incompetent, etc.).
The one thing I see, though is that the left hand doesn't align with the hilt. The ...
