I have done this sketch this weekend, and appart from the "cheesy" theme, I am not sure if it tells anything or not.
I was trying to focus on colours more than in anatomy/composition, but now I am a bit discouraged...
Should I finish it?

the colors on the t-shirt are a bit confusing because the shadow is a bit of an orange when the coloe of the shirt is fairly close to white and the sky is blue... you know shadows outside in the daytime sre ususally blue because the light bounces of the atmosphere and usually lands in the shadows your clouds make more sense. there is a great tutorial at
tutorial (http://209.126.148.88/forums/showthread.php?threadid=3148) i think your comp is good but i would make an extreme dark somewhere to create a more balanced piece( probaly near the pants) i read in a tutorial somewhere that said that humans find an extreme light and dark more appealling

there should be a highlight on his neck i think and going with the same idea of light bouncing (radiosity) i think the arm inside the sleeve would be lighter. i have to say ireally like the arm that is holding the sphere:)

U must definetely finish it, half finished works are boring - for the artist and the public.
Start with changing color on his shirt, it disappearsas it is now. Im thinking, maybe beige or gryish-beige, but cammo would be nice too! ;)
Its true thet about the lighting, weird blue tones it shouldbe, but its evening, hmmm, dont know exactly, but it looks a little to weird as it is now.
Also, pants look too stiff, but maybe U want them to be in contrast to those fluffy clouds? Pants and shitt needs different colors, now they have the same colors of the clouds - confuses me a bit.

Beautiful clouds dude!
Keep up the good work :D
