Astronaut phone home.

This is my first post. I'm usually a lurker because I don't have time to post normally but I did this one over easter.

I'm probably not going back to it since it 's colour pencils. But I would love some crits.

I'm not sure how I feel about the grid paper, but I think the colors used are pretty cool.

The hands could use a little work too, but I think it's a nice sketch. :)

pretty nice but like he said ^... the grid paper im not diggin!! detracts too much from the drawing. i dunno about the stars. look like bubbles almost like a scubdadiver. not bad!

Well, I wasn't at home for Easter when I drew this, so I didn't have any other paper. The pencils where my brother's and he wouldn't lend me his marker paper deluxe shit, so I had no choice. :mad:

I was just bored so I rendered it more than I would usually do when I'm drawing something quick on that kind of paper.

About the stars. Yeah, I know, I used gouash to paint those. But the black was too weak so you couldn't see them, so I tried to make them stronger by adding more black around them, didn't really work out well though. :(

Thanks for your crits. I usually don't use colour pencils (it's watercolour pencils actually) so I was surprised that I could get so strong colours.
