I like this drawing ! I like how your worked on these buildings !
The D.J looks Japanese ! (nice contrasts with the typical American background...)
But his legs looks so strange for me, like a dwarf you know ...

Anyway it's a nice piece

This is pretty cool- the houses in the background seem completely seperate to the boy, as though all he cares about is his music. Good lineart and colouring.

The background buildings are wonderful, i love their jumbled style. Your framing is excellent too. The sepia tone really adds to the urban feel of the piece. I'll favourite this one

Love the layout and design: the mix of the character the background is great. The first artist I thought of is one of my favorites: Jim Mahfood. I think just the line weights and stuff made me think of his Grrl Scouts books. What I especially like on this one is the headset and the jacket: the have a great look. The jacket really flows nicely. The only thing that I notice that feels a bit off is the border on the background image: it looks a little too scruffy. I guess that's more in comparison with the crisper lines around the figure and the turntable. Background image itself looks great though: especially like the colors. It has that dirty city air look to it. Really nice piece.

yeah, i probably should have spent more time on making the lines cleaner but i got into a rush and wanted to have it done.

im not a fan of heavy line weights, but u managed to pull that off very well

i dont like how he is just holding his left hand out there, it doesnt look like its resting on the floor or anything
dunno if i missed something

nice job

the baby's actually kind of leaning forward which makes his hand stick out there. thanks for the kind words.

very, very nice! the sharp angles and the dim colors look great. my only issue is that the border of the background frame doesnt seem as clean or crisp as the rest of the image. but its great nonetheless!!

shinyobjectgirl [2006-01-04 17:36:38 +0000 UTC]

I like this a lot, but something is missing. I think that there is something left to be desired with the color scheme; something needs to pop. Anything willl do, like the sweatshirt or the headphones. I think you should drop in a brighter color in there somewhere and it would be more interesting and the whole thing would really pop. Either that or you could deepen some of the other colors. Everything is in a sort of gray tone, even the blacks are gray. I don't know if that was a concious choice, but it just kind of makes the whole thing loook a bit drab. Think about how colorful most graffitti is. I really like your concept and layout and design, it's just the colors that get me.

i completely agree with you. unfortunately, it's a color copy that i scanned in which was not a great copy but the colors weren't that bright to begin with. thanks for the kind words.
