Finished this last Wednesday for art class. My goal was to make an image based around the theme of place. So, I imagined this place in my head and then drew it. Overall I dont think it turned out too badly though I think I the trees could have been drawn better and the mage's robes could have been darker.

This one is mine. Folder Cover |

Yeah, normally I absolutely stink at drawing stuff so I'm kinda surprised I even did as good as I did on that one. Thx for the comments

The coloring is pretty nice. For the Folder, I would suggest trying a different effect on the text. The gloss makes it really hard to read. |

for the drawing you should work a little more on perspective. The ground seems really... curvy at parts, but I'm pretty sure it was flat you were going for ![]() Also, try adding more of a value scale, extreme lights and extreme darks will really help bring it out more, and give it more depth. So yeah, work on perspective and value scale, and you'll be god to go. actually, 2 more things, is the black thing supposed to be the sun, or something? even though it's black it looks like it should be a light source, somehow, I don't really know, so maybe put shadows coming from it? and the holding of the staff seems a little akward, but it could be done, it just looks a bit weird, but I know why you did it, everyone hates drawing hands ![]() But I do think it's very god for just drawing out of your head, the trees work nicely

Thx for the comment Lightsilver ![]() Actually the black sphere in the upper left is supposed to be a black moon which emits darkness rather than light so thats why I didnt add shadows coming from that direction. For the perspective thing, yeah I realized it turned out pretty bad once I finished it. The shadow coming off the rocks dont even line up with the shadow coming from the mage. But then again normally I really stink with drawing so I'm happy with it overall. It's better than my last drawing which looked like something a 3rd grader would draw ![]() Oh yeah. I tried drawing his hand like 50 times and kept making it look absolutely retarted so I gave up on it and cheated by making his robes overlap most of his hand ![]() |
