Hi from ProjectComment !
I really like your drawing style! Like others have mentioned, this piece resembles a storybook illustration, and it looks complete since it has both a detailed foreground and background, which is part of the reason why I was drawn to it.
VisionΒ
Β Β Β Β Β
A very attention-grabbing and coherent piece, your description and title appropriately supplement and enhance the piece, while explaining the expression and pose on the explorer's face. He looks lost and possibly despondent.Β
OriginalityΒ
Β Β Β Β Β
Your style is very nice, and I'm very impressed by your skill with traditional art! I think there's a uniqueness to this piece, since there's something quite unsettling and sad about the fact that the explorer is sitting on a green planet that clearly harbors life, yet the planet is clearly way too small to support him.
TechniqueΒ
Β Β Β Β Β
One thing that bothers me about this drawing is that there is noticeable competition between the foreground and background. In some areas, there is not a significant difference between the thickness of the line art for the stars, the planet, and the explorer. Moreover, the night sky is a very deep blue, while the planet has a rather muted green color that makes the sky stand out even more. I would suggest using a consistently thick outline for the planet, and possibly lightening the color of the sky so that the viewer's attention is focused more on the planet and explorer.
On a similar note, I would suggest making the explorer's outline more consistent, as part of him is outlined by thick ink, while other parts have a thin outline.Β
Second, I think that your drawing would look more three-dimensional if you added more shading to the stars, flowers, and the explorer's suit, similar to how you shaded the grass on the planet. Since you already added nice highlights and shadows to the metal parts of the suit, the rest of the piece can benefit from this level of detail as well.
ImpactΒ
Β Β Β Β Β
The points I mentioned above distracted me a bit. Nevertheless, your drawing skills shine through this drawing, and I think some minor changes would help polish it further.
Hope this helps!

This piece of art looks really cool! With it's traditional type of style, and blooming colors everywhere, it looks as if this would be on the cover of a book which I'd read. However there's the nitpicking, such as how the ink seems to thicken in some places. That part really just takes my eyes away from what I really should be looking at. Maybe try putting less pressure on whatever tool you use. Other than that, it looks wonderful. I'd like to see where this story goes.

Thank you, that really means a lot to me!Β
I'm assuming you mean in the lineart, and looking at it now I can see what you mean. I tend to go in with a brush pen to thicken up some of my lines, but I agree that it's a bit all over the place here. I'll keep that in mind in the future.Β
i'm glad you liked it

Wow, this is a very great piece of artwork.
This reminds me of the little prince because in the book, he travels to many small and visually pleasing locations.
You have shaded enough for it to look 3-dimensional but it still looks like a 2-dimensional cartoon.
The planet is very detailed and the character is very cute but he looks like he is having an emotional moment
If there is one thing I would change, I would make the background more detailed.
You did a very good job with this piece of work
GOOD JOB

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun doing this piece.Β
It's been a very long time since I last read Le petit prince, and while it wasn't a direct influence, I can definitelty see where the comparisons are coming from.Β

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! And wow, it's been a long time since I've read Le petit prince, I remember really liking it, but being annoyed that we were forced to read the french version

Truely =A=
But nah, it was my old french teacher, so that's pretty reasonable. But I feel like I definitely would have enjoyed the book more in english, so go for it! >:>

Woah this is such a great piece of artwork!
I absolutely love the way you painted the grass it really gives that "grassy" feel to it!
The shading is on point for this type of drawing! But i think the character would look a bit better with a bit more of shading!
Also i think that the Neon dark blue looks a bit off in this. Maybe try to paint the sky with a softer dark blue and maybe mix a bit of dark purple as well! 
But besides the colors of the sky being a bit too eye chatchy i think this is a really good drawing! Hope to see you improve in the future!

Yeah, using markers, I'm a bit limited with my colour selections and have since picked up a blue that would have worked better for this.Β
You make some good points though, and I'll definitely keep them in mind in my later drawings! I'm glad you like it; I had a fun time doing this piece.Β
