They look like giants

The foreshortening (thats what they call it, right?) on the brown haired one seems a bit off.

But overall, you're definitely improving.

They look like giants

How to fix that ._.

edit: the background how's it?

[Jahvansi]

I'm no expert myself, but u should try working a bit with values I guess. It should get lighter in the bg. right now everything looks really saturated which makes it hard to figure out how deep the pic is or rather how far stuff is away. When drawing landscapes or sceneries thats quite important to get a better 3dimensional feeling. I think thats also the reason why the characters look like giants right now.

As I said I have too less experience in this are tho, Blue Phoenix should be able to give some decent tipps tho


Not the an perfect example, but I just watched this video. Skip to 7:20 to see what I mean. He splits the image into different layers and uses different values for each accordingly.

My few crits would be that the bicep muscles are larger, it looks fine in his left arm but in his right arm it's very short. And that the knuckles in his hand. Index finger's knuckle is not the biggest, it is the middle finger..
that's it actually, its very neat otherwise! keep it up!
