A Samurai, A Car, A Sword

[Mr. Teatime]

One of my freinds asked me to draw a picture, i asked what, he said a lambourghini with a samurai on top about to stab it. i said ok. here it is, much later than he thought it would be. c&c wanted.

the hand holding the sword looks a bit small/weird.

Other than that, I think you should colour it.

Thumbs up for the idea of having a samurai stabbing the roof of a lamborghini.
A couple of thumbs down for the samurai' hand, The lack of smooth lines, and the lack of using a ruler to make the car more pleasant to look at.. seeing how most cars have smooth lines and such.
Might have been what you were going for, but I'm giving crits from a viewpoint that you'd want it to look good :)

edit: sorry if that sounded harsh.

[Mr. Teatime]

no its cool, i like good crit. the hand does kinda suck. color it i will.

next time you should try drawing a bit more of a dynamic angle.. use some perspective with the car zooming out towards the viewers eye.. thatd be a lot better than just a side view :]

[Mr. Teatime]

like 3/4 view? yeah, that'd be good. I chose side view for this so it'd look like a car poster with a bit extra.

i just noticed the hand is screwed up because i accidently cut it off scanning. looks better on paper.

yeah i agree w/ the others. I know it took you a while to draw the the picture, but the composition seems to boring, spice it up! Try it from a diferent angle, look at comics and see how they frame an action sequence. Can u plz post some small thumbnails of other comps? then post them and we can help you pick the best one before you dive into it, from what you have there, its ok.. GL, and i look forward to the thumbnails:cool:

[Mr. Teatime]

There's some thumbnails in the sketches section.

clean out your mail box dude.
like the car hate the guy

[AnarchyAo2]

Oh god! Go ahead and kill the guy but don't shread the hood! :eek:

[epiphany]

yeah draw from an angle....and the back wheel on the car looks kinda big...

Honestly, you have a lot to work on. I dont think I would have seen that as a samurai if you hadn't told me so. The biggest issues I would say are contrast and and refinement. The linework is really messy and the rendering is pretty messy too. It looks almost like the sumarai is all one shade of gray. To really make the car look reflective and real, you want to get a lot of contrast in the paint..because it isnt going to look like all one color...so in black and white, it isnt going to look like all one shade. You are going to see different shapes in the shading.

Hope this helps, others seem to have already covered the perspective issue.

There is nothing original with idea of samurai stabbing the roof of a lamborgini. Michael Turner in (Image)Witchblade 2 (comic) draw that 8 years ago...

There is nothing wrong with using other ideas, but give them some credit!

[talmir]

vuk > Its original enough.. If youre going to compare art to comics all the way to start of comic drawing you can forget about creating anything new.

[Mr. Teatime]

OK vuk, i didn'tknow about that, i've never read witchblade, and 8 years ago I was six years old. What defines original? Thinking of something by yourself?
If you never have seen or heard of something you allegedly copied how can you give them credit?
If you look at it this way it would be almost imposible to create original art.
