Thank�s for your statement. This is really my first picture i�ve made. You are right i�m a trainee since sep. 2000 in computer game company as a graphic artist. That�s the time i also started to make pencil drawings. They were not really detailed painted. I will post the scribble for this picture too. Last week i decided to make a digital painting. So i started to draw with a mouse - i must be crazy! Then i used a graphic pen to improve this picture added more details. The scythe is made with a plug in.

I hope to make the finishing on this weekend.

After this response this will not be my last picture. You�ll hear and see from my again.

greetings

Marco

This is a really good pic. It is amazingly sharp and clean for your first Photoshop art. I hope you are telling the truth with that.

The blood on the scythe is very well done. It actually looks like some of the more professional texture work that I have seen for video game models. I assume that if this is your first Photoshop image, then you don't have any previous experience with that industry. It might be something you'd want to look into. Or maybe you already are.

Some things I would suggest to you...

Work on the anatomy and proportions of the skeleton a bit more. The shoulders are too wide. The left arm is too short. I want to see feet.

Also, experiment with how you draw and render fabric some more. See if you can get it to show places that are wrinkled, places that are pulled tight, as well as places that are draped around his bones (like on his arms). I recommend lots of research on this.

This piece needs some sort of composition. Just having a black background doesn't give it justice. Either give us some sort of background, or make the background a bit lighter and show us the whole character (including the feet or bottom of the robe).

So keep on practicing. I see lots of very promising things in that drawing. You have a great eye for details, and that is extremely useful. You are doung a great job with shadows and highlights too. Just work extra hard on the things I listed before.

Good luck. Keep posting your work.
