Well, draw this a couple days ago, and scanned it today.
And Colored it in photoshop... The fact is that I'm triing to learn how to color my drawings to make them look good...

It's a Forgotten Robot, somewhere in an abandoned Army depot.

You are well on your way! This looks good, he's got lots of solidity to him. I've been struggling to draw a 'bot myself, your's is much better than anything I've done.

As far as helpful comments...(at least I hope they are helpful),

My eye goes right to the only blue in the picture and that's good if it's your focal point but otherwise it might be wise to use some blue-ish tones in other places. The shadows are a nice place to start. Also you could make the floor a warmer lighter tone to help place him on the ground more, right now it's the same value as the wall behind him.


I always try to remember from color theory classes...."try not to isolate your color, move it around"

Thx for the comments Sleepless :beer:
I've tried to follow you indications... Changed that blue thing and put a warmer color the the ground. And put some more colors around, to make it more uniform.

there is some trouble with the p[erspective for the right leg,the thigh seems to short. First I was going to say the right arm was too long as it appears lower thena the knee while the left is higher than the left kneee, but then I nothiced the foot is way to high on the right leg. basically if ou can pull the right leg down a bit nd add some more thigh on the right leg (his right leg no the leg on the right side of the picture) that should fix things I think. also a little definition between the right hand and the right leg, its har to ell where the leg stops and the arms starts, just a little changeof tone and or sautiration between the amr and the leg to suggest some depth and distinguish one form the other.
