saved from harddrive crash, i tend to keep it, but considering the possibilities that i might just loose it along with the crash, might as well use the priviledge to share it. i consider it to be my original style (whatever that is), scetched on A4 paper with 2b pencil, additional scetches and base coloring in painter 8.

i kinda mellow when it comes to coloring, lack the bravery they said. any of you see any other possibility to this picture?

Nice work mate, I guess if you wanted to fix him from waist downwards, make the trousers a bit thinner, because they seem a little baggy to me. Still, great work anyway.

erm yeah lookin good. although i dont like the colour style too much. i feel that with the pastel look you won't be able to have dramatic lighting effects.

yeah you have drawn the face very well and the hair is especialy good. the eyes need more emotion he looks like a zombie. the forshortening and hands are good but below the upper torso i gets a bit shabby and undetailed.

overall i think with a little rework of the colour scheme and more dramatic lighting this could be a good piece.

woot i can write shit in here i am well proud.

Nice little drawing/color job. tho I would suggest workingo n the bottom fo the coat it seems little.. well it doesn't really flow that much. But the face looks really well done. so tops marks for that.!

no it wasn't watercolored, its the constant usage of "add water" brush, and yeah, i guess pastels won't take you anywhere but walls. baggy is the effect for the pants i was aiming for, but i guess its a failure there, i dont even know how to locate his knees. and the cloak...
