Description Code Geass_Lelouch comands you to die

One of the best anime I have seen absolutely awesome if you haven’t seen it please check it out.

I worked very hard on it especially since I tried to get the body proportions eye style etc. as close to the anime as I could tried several different coloring techniques and use some brushes and textures to my advantage it took me a lot of time to finish it cause I was taking it very laid back without giving my self a deadline overall I didn’t come out like I wanted to but I wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

Like always critiques and comments are very appreciated.

Great Textures, color choice, and blending!
It almost look like you made this drawing from a 3d modelling program. Mainly because you chose to not have outlines/lineart in this piece.

The one thing that seemed out of place to me is the lighting - I can tell that is a window shining towards the chara, but It's not natural looking. If it were me, I'll try to bring the lighting overhead- it'll give lelouch a more sinister face - due to overcast shadows, AND it'll be easier to paint, due to the symmetry of the lighting. However I see you are drawing emphasis to the wine cup! The last thing is the path of light! I usually draw "light/shadow lines" extending from the light source to the surface that the light is suppose to land. These lines are comparable to "perspective" lines - just like you need the perspective lines ot guide where your vanishing point is-- i would argue that you need light lines to guide where your shadows will fall. I hope this message isn't confusing~ once again Great job! I look forward to more!!!

That light ray was bugging me as well even though I wasn’t sure what it was so thanks for pointing it out I’ll take what you said in notice next time and don’t worry I get what you mean.

Thanks for the help I appreciated.

Hey Shadow. Long time no critiques. Sorry about that, I've been busy.

I'll get straight to the problem. It looks like he has no hips/crotch because of the way you drew his legs. I suggest you give his legs, especially his thighs, more mass so we can see them. At the moment, it's so thin that it looks like it isn't there. Also, please take a look at some reference before you attempt a pose next time. It does no good to imagine the pose.

I understand that the style of Code Geass has characters being thin/skinny, but that doesn't work very well in this piece.

The coloring is a bit flat because of the limited range of colors and lack of contrast. Try using stronger highlights and shading. The textures are okay, but I do suggest you make the wood texture stronger so it has more contrast for a better look. Also, shadows on the ground and opposite side of the light need to be strengthened.

The character is well drawn, although it seems his right hand (our left) is a bit too large compared to the other.

Overall, this is a brave attempt. I applaud you for making it this far. Now you need to go beyond and try some new techniques. As always, observe other artists and experiment. I hope my tips help. Keep up the good work!

Hey seven. Don’t worry I know you’ve had you’re hands full.

Now that you mentioned this has quite a lot of mistakes. I hadn’t notice quite a few of them.

I did look at my self in the mirror however I was so focus on the leg positioning that I forgot about the hip area I’ll have image I can look at more precisely next time.

I think I knew about it looking flat but I ignored it telling my self it was because of the different coloring style but I was wrong I thought of where the light comes from and how do the shadows fall (which normally I would just put them were ever I thought was right) yet I forgot about how much intensity they should have had.

Yes he’s right hand is defiantly bigger I concentrated too much on how I could make it hold the glass that I forgot =S.

Even thought I failed at my first sitting pose I learned some stuff that will be useful. Thanks for the tips it’ll be of great help like always they are much appreciated .
