Lineart critique

[IntrepidRedBlueFox]

And any critique you want. It could be a demonstration/tutorial thread but...0: It could be full of ice cream. I just can't change the bloody title. ]:<

Alright people these are the works in progress, now comment/critique if you want, for practice or something.

The head seems a little too wide to me and the hands are a tad too small. Generally as a rule of thumb, hands are roughly the size of the head/face. The neck seems a little too thick to me but perhaps that is just me. Honestly, I think this is off to a great start though and the pose looks great. just out of curiosity, what type of character is this going to be?

Thanks! When I try to pose the left hand like that, in conjunction with the overall pose, my hand looks smaller. You're right on the right hand though, which generally gives the impression that the left hand is closer.

I guess this is a little bit of a freedom fighter character, but that's bound to change.

Agreed. Also cleaning up the lineart would help it look better and make it easier to color.

Quick Update

I went on coloring the thing and form the basic shadows. I decided to have the light shine at the top-right. Also I can't change the title of this thread.

I'd say watch your tones, the coloring is getting a bit too dark. Try making the whole image lighter using 'levels' (that's if your using PS).
Keep at it, starting is the hardest part!

Thanks! If this was just a cel-shaded piece I would of lighten it up a bit.

Anyway, another quick update of an hour's work. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/Negativefox/wip/flag-2.jpg
WOO!
