I would suggest dealing with the perspective issues, especially in the easel

Finfint Micke

Don't have any real critic, but I think that drawing board's, uhh front, left leg is a bit too short? Should be a bit taller, methinks.

Looks really cool Micke. Thats what i love about your stuff, it has such a distinctive style.

I don't like the blue used on the sheet or apron or whatever it is thats hanging off of his leg. The blue just seems too bright and garish as compared to the brown and green earthtones used on the rest of the piece.

PS. Oh yeah, whatcha doing working on your own art? Man, don't u have a job to do for me?

BTW, did u receive my stuff and any ETA on it? cheers....i luv u man.

Micke this is great! Your choice of solid shapes, sweeping forms, fine details, line weight and color is beautiful. It's an interesting scene and composition, as well.

Only comment is as others said: the perspective.

I like the side-view of the scene. It works really well. The reason (for me at least) that the perspective clashes is because of the following:

- the easels back panel is not in the same horizontal perspective plane as the front side, thus giving the illusion that I'm looking a bit down on the scene.

- the blanket, crumpled papers and trash can are placed with imaginary perspective - again, making it seem to me like I'm looking down on the image.

These are fine, except that the rest of the image is using a side view.

Does this make sense?

Beautiful work as always, Micke. I look forward to your next expression...

PS:

His name is 'doing he'
and what is he doing?
Is he happy with his drawing
or not and just boo-hooing.

'Competition' you say?
well let me just think -
Perhaps it's for 'Most cluttered
and for somebody who stinks?'

He is contemplating drawing a cube, no a head drawing, no...I think he is contemplating sleeping over working for too damn long. Looks lie he's been up for quite a while now...The blanket represents the sleep he has been longing for fer the past 27 hours now. Are you contemplating getting immi's work done?

Aside from the what is he doing, the perspective on the easel is off a bit, and his right arm need an insertion in the elbow area to define the proper length of the arm. Right now it looks like a very small arm, the way the hand is hidden and the definition of an elbow is abscent. I am also not a big fan of thegarrish blue blanky, but that's a color issue, and only an opinion. The drawing is rock solid otherwise...

I dig the dude. Perhaps the lines that make up the drawing pad could be as clean as the lines that define the guy? It would give it a more solid feel.

Cool, I like how you handled the wrinkles on his clothes. BTW I was flipping through a PC mag and saw an ad for that game you guys worked on. You're famous!

Reminds me of a picture in my bathroom.. its of Frank Zappa taking a dump on the toilet. Well... the pose reminds me of that, not to say your work belongs in the toilet Micke, heheh.

Good work as always.. I think that guy is thinking about Frank Zappa on the crapper as well.
