Hello! I relized that before I continue to post in the art portal (then find a lot of flaws therefore getting slammed in the reviews) I should just post here first and improve from there. SO. Here is a awesome face sun that I drew with crayons then digitlized it, any suggestion on the grass or sun? should I get rid of the awesome face? Ahhh so many questions >.<
Overall, it's just not all that interesting or good. The grass is poorly done, it looks like your going for an inbetween of realism and a cartoony look. The actual sun itself is full of wavy lines, the face isn't done all that well...
For something as simple as this, it has to be executed well.
Clean lines, good colors, the image itself could be smaller, alot of it is just either green or orange, and is quite boring.

Ok let's start with the pic. If you want an awesome face on the sun, then it's fine I guess, that's not the problem. The grass does not really look like grass. It seems you used some kind of texture from the art program you are using and drew the grass with that.
If you want to draw grass and don't know where to start, then search some references. Google some pics of grass, find some grass that looks the way you want it and try to draw something that looks close to it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should trace or copy the grass, but draw what you see.
The lines on the sun are wobbly, but with enough time and practice you will get better at that automatically. Just draw a line and when it's not looking good undo it and try again. That's what many people here are doing.
Generally you could start by learning some basics. I always recommend to learn proper shading cause this can make life so much easier. Here is a tutorial from art101 (unfortunately the sample pic links are broken) that might help you.
Also don't worry too much about negative criticism, it will always happen to you and most people are trying to help you by pointing out the flaws. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the suggestions, I was originally going for a grass look on my sketch but in the end got rid of it, do you think it would make it look any more intresting? I made the grass in my first post by a combo of brushes in photoshop. And Im very good at tracing things, and Im OK in photoshop but im trying to make my own illustrations and I suck at it xD So any suggestions on that?
The brushes don't look convincing (or even good for the grass).
This non-digital version looks a whole lot better. Do you have more hand-drawn stuff?
I still recommend that you try some basic tutorials and keep drawing drawing drawing.

OK I will try some tuts. And yes I do have more hand drawn stuff... I will post later if I can find them. I am also getting a tablet soon (bamboo?) I dont know yet. But yes I think more work will improve if I stop shitty mouse drawings and just draw xD

You know, I actually like the original one better. Tell you what, if you're going to go for wacky cartoon stuff, don't go for realism. If you really wanna paint realistically choose realistic subject matter - if you're going to stick to stuff like Awesome Face rising over hills, why not go for a cartoony, minimalistic and abstract style?
Sounds like a plan. Will be back with cartoony awesome sun! Hahaha.
It seems like you're only going through the drawing once, merging the sketching phase and the finishing phase.
Sketch out a drawing, lightly erase over it, so you can still see what you drew faintly, and refine it. It takes a bit longer, but you patience will reward you with an all around better drawing.
That's really not much to write on; it's mainly just fair artline and a bunch of digital coloring, try to upload something with more hand made design.

Like this crap? =/
OK I took the cartooney design for the hills and really sharpened up the suns circular outline. Should I shade the hills a little?
I always notice little things.
What is really bugging me about this is the suns 'tongue'. It looks backwards, or like he is saying the letter L or something.
Everything else I have to say has already been said, so I will not repeat it. I do understand the cartoony look you are trying for, and I love that style. Keep at it! :)

Thanks for the advice! Awesome faces tounge is like that, but I agree with you on the L thing. I know is subtle but is this any better? I could try reversing it to. (I put more black in the mouth)
Hey! I did this about 7 months ago on illustrator. I cant save as a JPEG on illustrator nor copy my pdf to photoshop nor copy directly to photoshop, so I printed and scanned.... Im probly gonna redo this on photoshop, But as far as the general looks as the concept, yall like it?
I need to come up with a funny scene/ action/ speech bubble for this. I was doodling, and I think it could turn into somthing funny.... So any ideas?
Let me guess. OMG you was doodling and turned out to be just like this?
A good caption for your original sketch good sir would be "i say."

The "Good Sir" is a "Dear Madam" actually.
And the shark in the sketch looks more like he's screaming, so "I say" is not really fitting imo.
I'd say "MILK PLEASE!"

It's just referenced Tony. I see nothing wrong with that.

Ah I dont mind. When I saw that I was like 0_0 Holy shit. (I hadnt seen that one before this) xD Well anyways I do like the idea of him screaming... Maybe somthing referencing human/fish blood? I just cant think of a good one that would good! ;_;
Ok so. I I did this on paper, and then in photoshop, now.... once more. I just cant seem to get the lines right. Here is the first fail.
draft im working on now. Any suggestions on the shark (above 2 posts) and the waves of (music?) Thanks so much guys.

The music waves looks good, but the lineart doesn't. You can see that in your most recent version and the one before that. The lones are wobbly and yucky, but the colors are interesting and I like the way you blended them.

Well the lines are bad because it was a sketch of how I wanted the real ones to be.. Which one looks better in terms of where the lines are and such? I cant decided myself, and Im afraid that if I do it completly, then find a better way ill have to redo the entire thing D:
Shark again! Well I just got my tablet and still getting used to it, but here is my linework of Mr...? Critism wanted! :3

The teeth come to the edge of his mouth on his right, but they don't on his left.
AKA there's a gap with no teeth on his left side of his mouth.
