looks nice :) everything looks in perspective and values are well done...

one neg ... is just a little tech thing.. make sure when starting out with your like gesture not to push too hard.. or just use a softer pencil.. so that when the drawing is rendered more like this the ... negative (impressions) wont get skipped over and stay light in a dark area like that..

keep at it :chug:

Good pencil work!
The only thing I can find to complain about is that the ovals look a bit strainge. Especially the ones facing away from the viewer. The most common mistake is to make ovals look like UFOs. Even if you would see only half of the oval, first draw a full oval and then erase half of it.

despite that, nice pic!

Artin: Thanks, the reason I wanted to draw this statue was because of the disks and I thought it would teach me about perspective. But the statue itself was not perfect, the disks were all wobbly. Oh well, I will try harder next time. Thanks

Atmospheria: I agree. But, how dark do you guys draw? 4B, 5B, 6B?

Thanks :chug:
