Your backgrounds designs are great.. The colors too.
The second picture is terrorific, It isn´t a human!. So if you tried to make a non human monster you have obtained it. By the way if you did a human monster go to fineart.sk and she some female models, please!. ;)

I have to paint my drawings with a mouse too. I haven`t an optic pen and i don´t think in buy it. (i dont have enough money to buy me presents). Maybe when i will work.

Bye

Yeah... these "she" is "see".

Sorry.

i think the water may be a bit to blue in the first picture, considering the sky and rocks are red.

The first image at first glance "seems" like a nice composition, but it lacks depth, and a after looking at it for a moment or two, it becomes clear that there are some pretty nasty issues with perspective going on.

The second one shows that you have a LOT to learn about figure drawing. Granted it's supposed to be cartooney, but even at that it's extremely weak and pedestrian in nature. You really need to learn about structure, rhythym, etc.

The last image shows further issues with perspective, making the various objects seem to float in dead space in what is essentially a flat composition in false perspective. The photoshop-filtered blurred "rain" doesn't look too hot either.

Really, I think you need to worry about learning to draw better before learning how to color stuff, let alone using computer programs like photoshop to do art in.

i agree with danstc, focus focus on strenthing your fundamentals, your figures, perspective , etc
even a couple weeks from now you will see the improvement,

your colors are ok, the most i can say is at least there not super saturated. it looks like your using burn and dodge to simulate lighting, thats a no go friend.

"Really, I think you need to worry about learning to draw better before learning how to color stuff, let alone using computer programs like photoshop to do art in."

thats about the only part i dont agree with, everyone learns differently and while some learn best while focusing on one thing at a time others are more optimal focusing on more than just one thing.

mess around in photoshop if you feel it helps you learn, BUT dont neglect your fundamentals or else thats all you ever will be doing in photoshop, messing around.

hope this helps, and dont let the harsh words deter you.

Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with messing around with other tools on the side as long as you try to concentrate on your fundamentals. I'm just saying he should be more concerned with learning how to draw well versus learning how to use photoshop. Computer programs are essentially just tools like any other, and what good is learning how to use a more advanced drawing tool if you don't even know how to draw?

hmph.. 1st thing* i come to this site to learn..

-i know my works are not that good.. but i think it is not true what u say.. i just LIKE to draw and LIKE to color.. so i shouldnt color because i suck at drawing :S.. thats really weird.. this isnt my job u know.. i just do it as a hobby..

but ur crits are true.. and i should work on m.. and i am workin on m.. i ordered tons of books to help me on this..
and why be so harsh.. u could say it in a nice way.. but for perfect artist like urself.. yeah thats hard ofcource..
i know for sure u make mistakes in ur drawings.. and u color m 2 dont u?? .. isnt that the same thing only less xtreme..
well.. ill just take ur comment as proof that i have to study more.. but next time .. say it in a nice way.. it would proove ur inteligence..
ow and btw.. thx for ur usefull crits.. ill use m wisely



silverslash -

glad u like my colors.. and glad u say ur crits in a nice way
as for the dodge tool.. i never use it.. i just use to much white i think.. .. have to watch that..
i use airbrush at 10% and paintbrush..

Looks bloody awesome! Just one thing was throwing me off. The cliffs don't have enough deep shadow and kinda look flat.
