You need to CONSTRUCT.

This WIP has no notion of construction. Are you drawing this freehand without any concern as to what you're wanting the final result to be? You need to have a good idea of that in mind. Look at what neverest has done and follow his lead.

Neverest's demonstrating a good process so follow it so if that's what you're inspired by then follow it. There's no point haphazardly moving on with something, posting it here, before you've even had time to nail your design and construction and even thought process.

These droids and this perspective require you to be more of a draughtsman than an artist, technical drawing is what counts here. (to begin with) - once you've the basic forms nailed THEN you can start pixeling in the detail but not prior - it's a waste of time.

It seems you have an idea for a head... but nothing else is really that inspiring - there's the beginnings of something but you'd be better off going back to the drawing board and hammering out some concepts first;

Study neverest's fine examples and understand his process...

Then try again.

Sorry to be so blunt.

"Mature artist"... hey... I like that...

An hour and a half O_o To me this looks like something one could do in about 15 minutes if the idea is already there.

That's easy for you to say mr productive... (how many tiles you got left on that collab with helm?) lol

didnt really bother me too much coz its just like I can move things around on the computer and fix things easier rather than keep drawing until i get it right

That's fine... nowt wrong with that process. At the end of the day just do what suits. All I'll say is this though, if you find you're struggling with a posture, pose and the associated anatomically accuracy then it's always a good idea to STOP and re-evaluate... it's best earlier on in the process to make sure it's correct as you save a lot of time later on - but the point I'm getting at is to not be afraid of going over your work JUST because you've spent a long time on it... if it's wrong, it's wrong, it doesn't matter how good the final rendering is if everythings out of place. Anyway enough of that jabbering...

pixel look good - around the face especially..

another thing I think you should I should point out (sorry to go on) .. is to try and work all over the image to the same degree... that's to say that you've failed to block in your main color groups, particularly with reference to your shadows... where as the face and hair is kinda complete. Basically start rough at hone it down until you're happy. The reason for this is similar to what I was yabbering on about earlier... it saves you time in the long run as you can see how the WHOLE is coming together, you can evaluate it accordingly and make the neccessary changes earlier with less impact on areas yoy may have spent ALOT of time gettting perfect. -

When you work in the way you're doing now (again nothing wrong with it) but you have to be super confident evrything is in the perfect place. The pre-raphaelites used to work in this way... it's a VERY tight way of working and it can work - it's just very time consuming.

Keep on pushing...

Cheers.
