"Get pooped on."- Everyone at FHS

I made it in art class a little bit ago.


I used charcoal, graphite, and some ink here and there. Anything I can improve for next time?

BLAM is my Gamer-tag.... and also a censor...and a Nickname... and a codename; for Halo CE.

Long live(ed) Ling-Ling.

All your base are belong to us.

I think it looks good, just that the face mask looks a little pudgy towards the front. But I'd still do him.

It's a great sketch but i can't help but notice that it looks remarkably like this. Did you use this figure for reference?

Well for one you need to make the painting more dimensional and make more outlines on the painting.

Actually, I used my own orange Halo 2 figure as a model. It was kinda hard though. His joints are loose, so he kept falling. :(

I like the details and the effort that went into shading it. I would work on trying to nail the proportions from the start, using darker lines, and getting rid of the ink and the background.

I didn't want the ink. It was art class, and it had to be a 3 material drawing or a bad grade. Ink was forced, trust me.
