The ground as a starfilled sky looks absolutely wonderful. Some of the details in your pictures looks very undefined, like his boots here for example. If you find that you can't draw something properly don't do a half assed job about it, it's a much better idea to find some reference. Apart from that I think that it is a well thought out picture with a good composition and I like his face and posture and the expression of the bird.

Thank you very much, and here I may add: if they are undefined it is intentional, I wouldn't leave something like that unless I meant for it to be a little obscure. The boot is supposed to be "fading", or lighter than the other one. It is not at all a matter of not knowing how to draw some thing.

I did not mean it as fading. I meant that the boots have no definite shape. To put it rudely they are rather vaguely foot shaped blobs. You got the same kind of problem in the shirt here. The folds look nothing like folds it does not hang like cloth would and there is no definition. I'm not trying to put you down or anything I just really think that your work would benifit from you taking an extra effort in making some things more realistic. It would make the parts that are done in a stylized way look even better, like the forest and the raven here for example.

I see what you're getting at, but perhaps this is my style and I do it purposely. I prefer drawing without reference and leaving it to my imagination to depict things as my mind sees them, not as my eye always sees them (this can get boring, and art teachers always encourage this, I hated it). So this is my way of being "free". I'd rather not strive to perfect everything "as it looks in real life" because I prefer to stylize things. It reflects the novel I am writing, in which some things are not as they seem if one is to merely observe the outer layer. Naturally I am not a realist artist because I just draw what I enjoy, how I enjoy seeing it.

I do not see all this as a problem but that's fine if you see it as such, I value every observers opinion although I won't take all of it to heart.

Hey you don't have to defend yourself to me, I'm not your art teacher. I was just trying to give you some advice on how to improve the look of your art. If that is not what you want to do I don't mind.

Naturally I will defend myself and say my reasons for doing whatever is being scrutinized. Thanks though, I appreciate your advice. :thumbsup:
