Very nice shading! Only thing I noticed is that the body parts are kind of hard to separate from eachohter though.

Seems o be the trend of noticing, might have to go back and touch it up some day.

Lovely use of shading here, though I think maybe you could use a kneadable rubber to pick out some stronger highlights on the metallic parts? He's got a good dynamic pose though, and I especially like the little shine on his helmet screen. Good going!

Kneadable? I will pick one up some day
Right now Im using a Faber Castell no dust. Idk what it is but it picks up most everything.

this is very nice, especially with the amount of detail and shading you put into it. I like how there seems to be a perfect amount of negative space as well not too much or to little, overall really nice drawing

This is neat, I like it a lot.
I've never had the courage to do pencil work, so I don't know a lot about it, but try washing out some of the pencil for the shading, instead of relying on an eraser?
The shading is a little to harsh, it doesn't flow along the armor the way I would think it would, personally.
It's really good, just seems a little oddly stark.
Also, if you have a photo editing program, you might take out the background smudgestuff.
I don't know if you intended it, but try wrapping it around him a bit more if you did.
It's great. Is it jango fett? He looks familiar.

Boba! 
Washing out? Please explain, its probably new terminonlogy for an old thing but never know.
And I dont use computer programs
Thanks

DUDE! How can you hate Jango Fett?! He's better than Boba because Jango actually has his own game!

Immediately I can see you don't have a defined light source. This can make all the difference in the world. All of your light is coming from the upper right, but you dont take into consideration that this would cast shadows, and some of the structure wouldn't receive light. Because of this, my eyes really have to struggle to figure out what's going on around his arm, blaster, chest area. Your structure is really good, but your shading kind of takes away from it. The area behind the arm, like the lower side, is really ill defined and probably too wrinkly.
In the future I would reccomend having a defined lightsource, and remember when it hits [and where it doesn't hit]. A great piece, structurallly, you just really need to get your shading hammered out. Good work, keep it up.

Let's start off by saying that I like this.
Now let's move on. There are two things that bug me.
1) The inner shading on the brestplate kind of messes with the eye. It looks very "negative space" like because you have white areas even though the light source is being blocked by the shoulder and torso.
2) The little rocket doo-hicky at the very top center- ya that's right. It's a little crooked. But that pretty minor.
Anyways I hope I helped.
Thanks for sharing!

1) I see what your saying ill see if I can work on it at a later date
2) Yea I know... I can never get those rocket packs right no matter how many I do of them
Thanks

I see, is it Jango Fett? Yoy got this gradient.type of shading going all in most of your pictures, But it really doesnΒ΄t work in fabrics you draw. Try "molding" some shapes with the shading, thatΒ΄s really just full of same-coloured shadings everywhere you could stuff them in. Use a little more lighter areas in materials that are supposed to be metal or straight-like. I suggest that you study some more on foldings and shadows on clothes, and of course how the light reacts to different coloured materials. Also your linework should need some work. You should remove more of those rough-looking lines that seem to end too late. ItΒ΄s a different style to use that kind of linework, but it doesnΒ΄t fit in this kind of work, when your trying to to do as accurate work as you can.
And as a reply to Nether83Β΄s work, i donΒ΄t think the proportions are too much off, and i like thesekind of perspectives.
So in overall, you just need to practise your linework a little bit and go easy with those shadows. OK?
I hope i didnΒ΄t sound too mean, hope this helps you. For myself, the roughest critics tend to stay in mind for longest time and help when you do the next picture.

Your technique is very good. You seem to know well the different ways of using pencils. The perspective and the proportions seem to be bit off though.

Hmm Ill keep that in mind tyvm

As you said it went a little fast. Maybe try to make the lines more "harden".
So it look more realistic. But in overall, its really great.
The shading and helmet is impressive. Nice work dude

When you say Harden the lines. Well the other way around.
Anyways do you mean more present lines or less present?
I try to steer clear of lines as taught by my teachers, so let me know whatcha mean by that, i love differing opinons
π: 0 β©: 1
Depends. If you look irl at things, it doesnt have to look like lines. If you get what I mean. Just the shading and lightning shows it.
So. More present or less present is... When it has to be, and when it doesnt.

Oooo I see what your saying.
I will keep that in mind, thank you very much
