Having drawn this pic sometime around last summer, posting it now is because i've been wanting proper crits about it for a while (haven't been part of a art-forum ever..).

Please crit :fruit:

It's a really great drawing, however, in the final version there is one thing that doesn't quite fit. I know this is picky, but the CD player doesn't match the inked look of the figure.
Other than that slight seperation, i say you've done a good job. :)

well. i cheated when it comes to the cd-player. just ripped a pic of it from sony's site, I think :) (hush-hush)

you could easily paint over the uggly nasty bright outline on the cd player and the whole pic would be complete!

Really like it!

big shoes!

Big shoes all the way :fruit:

A great lookin' image but I think there is a tiny problem with some of the textures that you are using. In the pencil drawing you have a good sense of form and 3d space. However once you add the textures in, particularly on the clothing, it flattens the image and takes away from the sense of rounded forms. Maybe just darkening up the textures in certain places could help give the image back its form. Also the brick wall in the background, it just makes the character feel like they are floating in front of it. Maybe a little shadow where the character is leaning up against the brick wall would help.

[JFS]

Like so?

Watch the inside of the right arm (his right). the light source seems to be from the top left (our left). Should probally be a shadow there.

hmm i liked the first one better, the tone was a lil more relaxed.. it's up to you though. cool pic, i can see it going into flyers/posters :)

[fresh27]

i like the first one better, but its true that you have to fix up the CD player a little

[SEVANS]

Very stylised image.

As for the shading, Personally I'll go with the first image.
100% agree with the comments about the cd player, Plus is the cd player slightly to small? It looks abit off to me.

Nice style.

ooh..purty

Fix the cd player, think you should add shadow under the arms and keep the pants the same, also add shade to the wall. i like it though, it's be good on a tshirt.
also maybe continue the wall a little more on the topright of the pic? or that could be just me.

If you can draw that good, why mess it up by cuttin out an image of a cd player? Also the sketch looks alot better then the final product, work on your photoshop a bit.

[JFS]

Well. i'm gonna try something. a total recolor :P

starting from this:

I think the CD player is also too small, I could be wrong.

[AnarchyAo2]

This isn't relevent but your advatar reminds me of a target commerical.

[shadow]

I like it, just needs better shadows under the arms:)

[Teknoholic]

If you're going for a graphic look, I'd do away with the photos of bricks and the cd player. I agree that the first version was more relaxed. You can't really define form with something this graphic, so I wouldn't bother. Also, some of the lines are not as clean as they could be... i can seee the pixeeelssss..... arg.

All in all, very nice. It's hard for me to make something like that look cool.

[digitalgannon]

okay here are my 2cents thrown in. I by far like the first sketch, its got nice movement and volume of the character. I like that rough look it has goin for it. The first image is good too, i really dont mind the flatter look, it has a graffiti feel, or a flash vibe. Though if u stick w/ it i would get rid of the white disolve to the right of the character, it bothers me for some reason, i think because everything else in the pic is nice and flat with outlines, and the faded out white goes against that. Maybe also have one of his eyes showing through alittle under the shadow of his cap, this may give him alittle more personality and attitude. All in all good stuff.
