As I stated in the title of the thread, this is a sketch (thus the askew/erased lines here and there) of Phoenix that as a total in time taken to draw.. I'm really not sure, since I took a few breaks thus not completing this version all in one day but in three. If I had to guess I'd say about 45 mins to 1 hour, but time flew cause I think I was having fun . Anyways, to the point... I plan on painting it and depending on how I feel about it in the end I may or may not post the final result. I'm quite afraid of ruining what I've done so far and my perfectionist side isn't helping me get to work any faster.

Now I'm aware I kind of suck at taking pictures whenever I'm tired, excited or have cold hands... and I kinda hit all 3 whilst taking these, so there are a few versions of each picture with some of questionable quality. Again, my apologies, but this is the best I could do at the time.

Another note, the picture of what seems to be a manual is infact a manual, and this is evidence that I have used a guide whilst drawing it.

...Last note, I promise. I'm very aware that the ear (and possibly the nose) came out most horribly, but drawing ears (and possibly noses) has never been my strong point.



There are some funny bits about this drawing such as what would seem to be an incomplete filling of an attempt at making the suit look dark, but that's actually the shading that the suit has whilst colored and any part of it not shaded will be the regular blue whilst the shaded part will be... shaded.

No crude comments please... I know I can use some work here and there but if the criticism isn't constructive then I'd rather not have it - I'm VERY aware that some of this may just be horrible but this is the first time I've been serious about art so I don't know much about doing it effectively.

Edit: Oh, if anyone's wondering, the model is on the back of the T&T manual.

Ah... I also have one more canvas left so I guess I can take one request which may or may not be taken depending on the difficulty... but I'll definitely consider anything youse gotta say!

---

That's pretty good but also, work on the eyes a little.

---

Ah, hmm... what about them? I can tell there's something going on with them now that you mention it.. but..

Edit: I see what you mean, nevermind.

This is pretty good, certainly better than I could do (), but I agree, the eyes are a little... strange. And it may be the camera angle, but he looks a little... ,no offense. I'm just saying that's how it looks to me. Just giving constructive criticism. I think it might be the angle of the shot. I like this sketch so far.

---

Yeah, I get that feeling too when I look at it but I think the whole wide effect comes from the askew lines at the edges of the shoulders which I didn't do much work erasing. I'll try and clean those up and see how it looks after that, and hopefully that's all it is.

---

Quick note, I've still not gotten a request and I'm looking for something to do so please, pal! I know my art isn't top-notch show-it-off quality but I want to practice at least.
