Welcome to Gaia! ::

*is not good as criticizing*

It's pretty good. Maybe more folds in the dress to show the fact that she is turned toward the guy more? *shrug* I dunno... =|

awesome picture...
>_> the guy looks high...just wanted to let you know

yeah...he does xD

bigger eyes would make him not look drugged and maybe a different style mouth

2 against one
*we've both seen stoners so dont argue with us*

Well I'm ignoring you all. stare

I have Asperger's Syndrome, so if someone asks me to analyze something, they won't be disappointed... twisted

Remember, you asked for it...

First, the eyes are the right size, just their expression is a tad off, and he's not really looking at anything; he's got the whole thousand-yard-stare
thing going on, like shell shock, or like he is possibly stoned, he just looks a little too happy to be traumatized).

I believe distant is the word.

Also, the dress problem is exactly what was said before, but in the wrong direction - less folds. The only thing with her dress, where it is to bend
at her knee, the line for the innermost fold goes too high and is too acute. Try shortening it and making the angle a bit more obtuse, say, about
7-10 degrees more.

Besides, you don't want to clutter up the drawing with too much detail, there is so much that you can do with shading and color, if you are so
inclined. The visual cortex pieces things together well enough on its own, if you overload it, especially with a lot of dark stuff against the white,
it gets distracted by it and all one sees is a mass of intertangled details, not the whole thing. It's like looking at a forest, but missing it
because of the trees.

A little more play in the strap for the sword on his back, so it contours a little more to his shoulder, and his right knee and, consequently, his
right foot, should be turned a bit more outwards, so he loooks like he's sitting there naturally, not like he's about to get up. He also has no
left chest, needs to be fleshed out a bit more at and below the shoulder joint so it has between a 90- and an 87-degree angle, but keep the effect
you have where it curves in slightly at the top, so it stays congruous with human anatomy.

His jaw is far too long,take off about a third of it, no more. The same distance above the collar as it protrudes below it, that should be where
it stops. Also, his hair could use a small spike or two at the top somewhere to add depth and texture, but that's just nit-picking.

Perspective on the banister needs to be checked, it doesn't fall in line with the horizon.

About color... I prefer black pencil, with a lot of shading by the same pencil (in effect creating a greyscale image); but that's just
the way I do it.

And I wonder why I don't have a job... rolleyes

I hope that helps...
