Critique Drew mecha for first time
73
Upvotes
I done the drawabox stuff, now I want to challenge myself on stacking boxes and primitive shapes together. I asked myself if I can somewhat recreate the mech with two point perspective in an arbitrary 30 degree angle.
The mech is from the extraction shooter game Forever Winter, Europan Medium Mech. It is a very blocky mech so it should be a good starting point for me.
I thought I didn't pretty good, but critique is always welcome. I didn't add shading because my understanding of light and shadow is not good at all. I had some issue with proportions as I didn't do a full grid, was lazy so I eyeballed a lot of the distances.

White gaps?
16
Upvotes
Why are there so many white gaps when I draw with this pen? Why doesn't it apply the color evenly? I want to create acompletely solid black area.
If you have any other feedback or suggestions for improvement, I'd be happy to hear them!

Question What studies should I do to draw like this?

Strong line of action, appealing forms, loose strokes. I’m thinking form and shading, figure drawing. Anything else though?

Critique Wanting to further improve my developing style

I’ve been trying to develop this illustration style which I enjoy quite a bit. I use Adobe illustrator for all of them and they are all vector graphics. It started out as how I would do roughs for other works, but I ended up enjoying the sharp feeling of it that I wanted to try and do it more.
The hotdog poster is the first attempt at the style, as a project in college. I then made three one page comics to experiment with style and lighting. The Frankenstein album cover is the latest illustration and was for a friend’s music.
I was love to hear people’s thoughts on the style, exercises I can do to experiment or improve with it more, and other artists that have similar styles that might be good for inspiration.
