This is one of the first complete CG and for using my tablet too. I want tips and crit. please.

O: Where'd his other ear go?

And the arms look a tad too skinny. But other than that it's really cool :3

I wouldn't really show that much so its best to be left out. Oy I have problems drawing bodys. Thank you.

For a first time, it's pretty good!
I remember my first time. It was really hard. (I thought I was wasting money buying it.) Just practice with it some more! You will be better at it! ^_^.

((trust me, it looked better than my first CG work on my tablet! xD))

Crits: The background seems a bit weird. I'm not sure if the white part are wings or clouds? I thought adding the ear to the left would make it look better since he is looking at us straight on. The armsare a bit too skinny and the eyes seem to look a bit weird. Just practice more though! ^_^.

very cool but there is a black thing on his face!

Its clouds. Yep there is a black thing. Why because I can.

• I like it. You have a very distinct style- I like your way with colors and shading.
  
  It's not 'good', especially "for a first drawing" (I wonder how people would have reacted if you hadn't told that. It doesn't excuse any flaws and neither does it lessen the value of the drawing.), it's really good for whatever try and whichever attempt at CG.
  
  Everything is nicely three-dimensional, the colors are bright and look well together, and I'm afraid that feathery stuff around the clouds has me in love. :oops:
  

I can't get past how fantastically strange it is at the moment. My brain is fried. I'll just say it's lovely for now, and give some critique later when I'm more awake.

Thank you both. I worked hard trying to bring out the shading and lighting.

@Varicose: That means a lot saying that you love my clouds. I'm kinda wondering what they would have said too.

@Penny: I'm looking forword to your critique.

For a first time thats really good lol I remember my first time it was with a mouse and was horrible LOL..

what I suggest now.. is working on depth.. More shading.. More colors to give it more life you know? Look up some tutorials they REALLY help.. I've been CGing for years now and I STILL look up tutorials.. hehe ^-^

Tuts are amazing. I feel that looking at art its self dose more though.

sometimes that helps to... but with coloring you can seem something and cant exactly get it.. infact im on a hunt for some now lol..

drawing style wise looking at other art helps a LOT for anatomy...... but I find tuts help coloring.. if you find a good one.. lol

Thank you

Wow! Seriously, this is your first CG piece?
Well, give yourself a nice pat on the back because this is
excellent for the first CG!!
I remember my fist one and it was no where as nice as this one!
Keep practicing.. I think you'll be good <3

Your first ever?! WOW!! :D Niiice.

Thank you both.

Alright. So here's what I'm seeing. Colors are fantastic and it's got a good focal point at that eye. It's lovely how outlandish your objects are.

The one major thing I think could be done to improve it is in the shading on the person. I'd like to see you shade it with the same pizazz that you've used on those fantastic clouds. The person seems a little flat next to them. The lines you used to shade the clouds really bring motion to the picture, the person should either add to and compliment that motion, or it needs... more solidarity for contrast.

There's a sort of line that my eye follows when I look at this. Generally, it's along a sort of curving line that starts up at the dark cresent in the upper left hand corner, curving around the green submarineish thing, then spiraling in around the base of the glass to the eye and that dark stripe. The flow of this picture is thrown off just a little with the direction of the green submarineish thing. It points out of that curve, and intersects a strong diagonal line of stuff you have running across the picture.
I personally would like to see that break repaired. How you do that is up to you. A simple line of white cloud directing back up out of that lower left hand corner would suffice.

Little things really.
I like this much. I think it's quite brave.

haha it looks funny :lol:
