More effort required

I think that you've got a decent concept here, but the whole image of the piece is knocked due to a very rushed look to it all, where you're cutting corners, in your over-eagerness to publish this work, no doubt.

Take your time with the drawing - filling the background for the sky and the floor is simple, then you can draw the clouds on in white and fill them the same, thus giving you a practical, serviceable and relatively usable background. The same could be done with the sun, just to get something different in the piece. Maybe even make those clouds a light shade of grey, so they don't clash with the shirt.

Is it a black short, or a jacket? Perhaps some differentiation is needed, with the buttons being on show and a discenible join down the front. Shirts have this covered by the tie, so I might be able to let you off. Someone as posh as Mr. Monocle would have his collar buttoned up to the top, so do that, for effect. Make the monocle bigger, to get more of an impression, as it is supposed to be the focal detail. Perhaps a gold chain that links to his lapel button hole, for example, again for effect, but something so simple would have a nice effect.

With the way that you've I've given this picture a cursory once over, you've got a few glaring issues that need to be attended to. People will be much more receptive of your works when you make an effort, trust me.

ok...but i just made this for fun...

hmmmm

abstract but fun

up-a-notch responds:

thanks

Hmm

It looks really sketchy, but it also has something to it that I like.

I like the character you drew here, he looks kind of funny. But the rest of the picture just looks bad. The colouring looks awful, even though you may have done that on purpose. I just don't like how the colours are constantly over the outlines, which looks quite crappy.

Also the colours don't always have the same opacity on one object. Look at the ground for example. To the right of the character there are some very light spots, while to the left the colours are way darker.

Overall the negative aspects outweigh the positive aspects here, so I don't like the picture too much.

my first one though

Really bad.

Like I already mentioned in my review to your Sleepy Head, I believe its name was, picture, the colors are over-flowing their fills. That's a major issue, it's just ugly. The colors are mixed up in each other.

The sun is weird, it looks like Moon colored in yellow, and its rays are made of little triangles. The clouds look like they are on the same height as the man, and something is odd about the outlines. I don't know what to say about the sky, it looks nice in a way but the lines give it a kinky look. The ground has the same problem.

Onwards to the man, he's probably the worst part of the drawing, which is sad as he's the focal point. The hands are so small, the arms are so thin, and the necktie looks like it's been scratched by a cat. The face is the worst. The nose takes up eighty percent of his face, and the moustache looks like it's grown out of his nostrils. I hope that's not meant to be his nose hair... The eyes are all weird, the monocle doesn't look like a monocle at all. There is only one, bizarre ear, assuming that it's an ear that is. The hat is in a position that it won't be able to stand in real life.

I'm sorry but so many is wrong with this that I can only give you a 1 out of 10. It looks like something that a first grader would draw. You need much more practice.

its a friggin drawing you friggin jerk god what the hell stop trying to judge me like that ok! i try to be better I just like the style! ok! in fact I like this drawing! sooooooorry if you don't like my style! thats your problem not mine!

....sorry for freaking out...just needed to vent

Crappy,yet Great

Looks like a 6 year old did it.Which is exactly why I like it

-Drawing-
The drawing is nice.It might look crappy.But if you took out the colors you can tell he actually tried.The suit you could of added a little bit more like some zippers or buttons.but I took the colors out with my mind power and it did look decent.If you took time to color it better(but we can tell you purposely did it badly) it would have deserved a 9.

-Colors-
I like the colors very bright.To bad they aren't in the lines.I like it though you must color out of the lines cause you like to be yourself.There are different shades of colors in certain parts.Like the sky it looked nice but the sun.Green?The sun is not green.That threw me off a lot.

-Improvements-
Not much you did it on purpose but color in the lines next time.And add a little more to the dull parts of the painting(like the suit)And take the green out of the sun
