Description A scratchboard assignment for my Illustration Media class in September. I got an A- on it because the teacher didn't like the background... -_- Not that I should be complaining about a grade that good, but I doesn't seem like a very valid reason. What do you think?

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

screw the teacher and that A- This is A+ work!

I don't think Art grades are fair. they are based on what the teacher deems worthy as art and not the students ability.

Are you in college or something? For an highschool assignment at least, that would be awesome. Your background is a stylistic choice and I think it enhances the drawing. The car should be the focus and you have excellent technique on it. A- isn't fair. But...this is a really old deviation now isn't it xD

Your teacher is a bitch. Dx I saw this picture and the squares and I was like DUDE, that is an AWESOME background. That's the first thing I thought, for serious.

i think its stupid that he graded with his personal taste, but at the same time the background seems.. out of place

yeah, your teacher needs to grade it based on the opinion of other people and not him. i like the background a lot. i think the class should decide the grade stuff like that since art really is based on matters of opinion of people and not person....and defintely not fact. whos to say what looks good and what doesnt?
great work btw! the headlights are awesome!!! sorry to be so serious . i dont like it when my teacher is so critical of work when she bases it on her opinion. so that just irked me

2796x3174 << that's your resolution, in pixels. Go into photoshop or some kind of editing program and divide that by at least 2. Divided by 2, it would be 1398x1587. That's a good high-resolution, it'll still be kindof big though.

This is hot. Good choice for the subject too, Acura's RSX is a dream for me. I like the layout of this, it would make a good advertisement. I think the scratchiness of it makes it seem even faster, and the squares in the background make it very modern. That fits well. Your teacher must grade on opinion or something. The headlights have a great amount of detail in them.. all of it does, really. In a magazine, I could see the opposing page being blank with the Acura Symbol and a little saying along with it. YAY!
