[The Fool]

Construct a proper perspective.

That clock face seems to be contorted to sphere, and is deformed regardless.

Skyline too barren (imo).

1. I really should have mapped it out a bit better. It's nearly a two point perspective, but the roof tops in the foreground would be wrong for that.

2. It is a sphere, but I didn't notice the deformation.

3. I was going for negative space between buildings. I can see what you mean though.

@bombzero: I was trying to get used to drawing cities. Being abstract is alright at this point. I'll try something more close to physical realism once I get the basic city compositions down.

Yeah... go look at the resized image, you'll see why I didn't do that, images don't like being compressed several times over, and do an especially bad job of actually retaining pixel information then.

This doesn't actually resize it, though.

It just shrinks it in the browser. you click on it and it goes big again.

Oh huh, I wasn't aware of the click-to-enlarge part about it, that's certainly helpful. I'll keep that in mind.

Here's a something I painted one quiet afternoon.

The Fool, the city's so-so, but I like your cat person.
Doohl, your sky covers like three quarters of the image, and that mountain forms a giant arrow pointing at it. Are you making some kind of artistic statement about the enormity of space? Because if not, you should probably work on your composition. >:]

Eeeeeeehhh.

I agree. Perhaps try making it so that one third of the images is covered by the ground and two thirds the sky. Also, try making the mountain range more detailed and not just a big ol' triangle. I like the sky, though, there just needs to be a bit less of it (actually, a bit more ground, but whatever).

Well, I like Doohl's pic. It needss some work, but the heart is in the right place.

[strongrudder]

I'm partial to crazy sky-dominated compositions, myself. Makes the little travelling shadowy dude look alone in a big night-enshrouded world. c:

[Doohl]

Interesting criticism, thanks. I kind of opted to make it feel lonely, abandoned, and lost. To do this effect I was driven to create the sky as large as it is - it felt as if it would emphasize the effect the most. Or something.

Looks less awful now, in my opinion - though I'll probably hate it again in a week or two. I've fixed the ears, and softened the most jarring contrasts on the face; I couldn't be bothered to rephotograph and re-retouch it, however.

Neither do most hobbyists or professionals, most self-taught individuals learn by feel and feedback, only student-types really ever "know what they are talking about"

I'm curious: how did you draw hair in this picture?
