I really like the color palette you're using there. It's subtle and muted, but strong at the same time.

Here's some doodles i've done recently. You'll have to forgive the image quality, as i had to use my camcorder to take the pictures (too big to scan). I did the best i could in photoshop.

Just some random doodly of a lady with a bag.

I was going to finish this and maybe color it, but i've sort of lost interest in it. I'm not especially happy with the composition of it.

Old version or remake? Cause old version is kind of cult movie and I thought it was pretty dumb.

The textures are really nice, and the detail is great. However, the various objects have a flat, paper-cutout look to them, like it's a collage of pre-shaded characters and objects. Unless that was the intention.

It was on the books, but it wasn't on the main figure. I noticed it as well, and tried to fix it with shadowing and such, but for some reason I can't get it the way I want.

Yeah, I think it might be the cast shadows, or the lack thereof. It seems that the book is only creating light on the girl, and the books in the foreground aren't having any shadow effect.

That head looks really squished. If it's supposed to be a perspective thing, it's sure not working right.

I think it's cause the mouth is flat. The head looks like it's in perspective, but the mouth and eyes don't, so the illusion is canceled out.
I'm glad 90's style forum signatures don't exist anymore.

Hmm. I think it's that the facial features are like stamps being placed on the face, rather than changing with the perspective changes. But yes, they look like they're flat objects being pasted. So the difference is that they're being squished down in the bottom of the head-shape in an attempt to re-create perspective with a limited amount of anatomical knowledge or tools to work with.

It's one of those fundamentals that people seem to forget. It doesn't matter how much detail you add to a drawing; if the basics of anatomy and form aren't there, it'll suck.
