How about to that new place that opened up on Avenue E and Main?

Ohh it's not your fault. It's not your mother's fault. Now...you pay attention to old Rooter. It is nobody's fault. The Great Circle of Life has begun. But you see, not all of us arrive together at the end.

Nah, let's wait. It's BOUND to get better eventually.

Nice style.

Please. Don't thank me for the fav. Look at my gallery instead.

^-^

Critique time! ^-^ (I know I'm super-late, but there are lots of responses! ^_^)

First I have to say, your anatomy needs some work, the slumped posture, despite being a bit physically impossible, isn't the problem though.

The face isn't aligned correctly, the eyes are on a slant, and the mouth is on the opposite slant. her face lays out like a ">" ^-^ So you need to line up the face a bit better.

The feet look like potato bags. Try drawing the real feet, then outlining the very outer-edge but more smoothly than the real thing, that will look like adequate feet in socks. ^-^

The character doesn't stand out enough. You could better make her stand out by varying the line thickness. If she was drawn with all thick lines, and the BG with thin ones, she would stand out more.

I think you did a great job on expressing the feeling in this pic. I like the fact that she isn't drawn to look like a stereotypical "hot chick"/etc.

I also like that you varied the tones, from dark grays to light ones, you made the pic come alive a bit more than if it had been flatly colored. ^_^

Overall, I think the picture has a classical appeal because everyone has felt that way, but there isn't much that makes this picture stand out that much. 3.6/5

Life ends so fast, so take your chance and make it last. ♫♪

Thanks a lot for the helpful input. You're right about her mouth and foot for sure. Feet are something I struggle with and need to practice drawing more.

I don't really agree with your assessment of the how the figure stands out from the rest of the image. Each object has its own shade of grey-blue, and she her own clearly defined form separate from the couch, the ottoman, and everything else.

The colors are entirely flat. I'm confused.

Thanks again for the input, I really appreciate it. It's really helpful to read.

Why couldn't the anarchist draw a straight line? Because he didn't have any rulers!

Hi again.

The figure, when in thumbnail view, blends in. A good picture should ideally look great from far away, and up close. Colors are a good start, but lines would make her look more like a separate object, rather than part of the couch, at least in my opinion.

The colors thing was a typo, I meant to type 'hadn't', not 'had'. My web browser automatically corrects my typing, and if I forget the apostrophe, it turns it back into had. I think a gradient/another level of shading such as lights or darks would add a higher level of three dimensionality. In addition to that, good shading does wonders in making the whole pic look better. I've seen some pretty terrible lineart that the more detailed coloring/shading hid many of the flaws. ^-^

ah jaysus KasaiInuyoukai, it's a cartoon. you don't need to suck the life out of it by analyzing the anatomy . this pretty much somes up how my life works. go to friend's house, arse about drinking tea and watching tv- and then someone realises "what the fuck are we doing?!?"

anyway the style reminds me of the ghostworld comics- can't remember the artist, but fuck it you've got a good thing going here. you'll perfect your style as you go along.

Art Is Resistance

It might be a cartoon, but she's not wrong.

Thanks a lot.

Dan Clowes is the artist you're thinking of, he's definitely one of my favorites.
