Would love a critique
-
@rajsolankiart Try using the markers slower to get a cleaner bleed. Takes longer but looks more pro like. Maybe soften your shadows edge for your car too. Looks great though I like it.

@jason-bowen Nice drawing!
Well, if I were you, I'd add a row of electric poles on the right side, cause I feel this space is empty.
And the worstest part could be the train wheels, but you can fix it, just hiden them inside the train, I meant just the bottom half.Sorry my english.
-
@jason-bowen that's great! Ya I'll definitely try to slow down next time around!
-
@jose-ramos ya I think you're right about the emptiness on the right side! And my wheels could use some work! Thanks!
-
@tessw just recently bought some watercolor material, so I definitely need to try that out! I agree with the wheels needing some work! Thanks!

This is so cool, I love the color choices and the energy. The marker texture doesn't both me that much but that's just a personal thing. I do think that the car suffers from a few problematic tangents. The wheels are uncomfortably close to the horizon and the top just kisses those clouds and it feels uncomfortable. I think the proximity to the horizon line is also messing with perspective- it makes the car look HUGE. My suggestion would be to move it up farther and to the right a bit so it's overlapping the clouds and not dead center on the page (which gives it a very sturdy, placid feel instead of a dynamic moving action feel). You might play with the angle the car is titled at, the scale and maybe up the saturation a bit? I did a quick mock-up, just playing around.
That's my two cents!

@withlinesofink That was a good fix. I think he's doing great as I am also practicing perspective but th ecar felt funny to me. I didn't think I knew what I was talking about but your post made me feel better
I just didn't necessarily know the solution. Thanks! -
I'm doing the perspective exercises too. This looks really good! I need to try some drawings like this to practice. Thanks for sharing!

@rajsolankiart Working on a smoother surface can help. I like using vellum for markers because it takes just a little bit longer to dry so you can blend a bit more.
-
@withlinesofink this is amazing direction! Thanks so much! I didn't notice the tangents until you mentioned them, then they stuck out like a sore thumb haha!
-
@marsha-kay-ottum-owen thanks! It's definitely been a process! my sketchbook is starting to get full of perspective practice
-
@withlinesofink That's a really good solution!
