You have to get past the technique. When you are showing volume and form it's paramount to exaggerate the model and indicate what's close and what's far to punch up the illusion of depth. The white that you use on the tip of the nose cannot be the same white that's on the peak of the forehead. Nothinging can ever be the same. When it's too close to the same it's looks flat because of course the Human brain is used to perceiving space in a certain way. Even if someone isn't an artist they will know that something is not quite right. So, you have the technique down but that is not enough. You have to make a statement before you make your statement. Remember art is a language and there are rules speaking a particular dialect.

Remember, you can't bullshit art. It is, particularly when engaged in painterly techniques an excellent recorder of emotion. The real you comes out. Whatever you fear, hate, love, etc., will crossover.

This is a life long lesson that if you are prepared to learn until the day you die is not worth the effort. I've got 45 years under my belt and I'm still learning and creating new things.

Without work nothing prospers.

All of your work needs to look like this. It's tight!

I like the lighting and the muted colors. The stylized features are a nice touch that work well for this piece. Good jorb homster!

Very nice, very cute. I want to live there.

Your thumbs are facing in the wrong direction. You have to look at life before doing things like this

FUCK, I'm dumb I'll fix it soon.

Something is wrong with the legs, man. There's nothing wrong with using a live model or photo reference. The technique is good but the draftsmanship needs to come up. It's distracting and killed the piece for me.

I usually don't review artwork as I feel many would rather have smoke blown up their ass but since it seems you are a story teller I felt that you might be receptive to an actual honest comment.

I like the way you die boy ;)

Pelboy responds:

Lol He does look like he expired :)

I'm a sucker for diffused light. I almost had to put on my shades, almost :) Have you considered using painted backgrounds in your animation? I bet your character animation would look right at home.

Please for the kittens, put your work in some galleries!

I am going to be in a gallery in mass. But for now my site is my digital gallery ... and kittens? Thanks for the awesome response!

Dudebro, you need to channel your inner Beatrix Potter and put some water color washes on your drawings done with this technique. Your linework is prime for it.
