This looks messy and its very difficult to tell what it is. Try making something that is easily recognisable (like a dog) and when you're okay
at that move onto abstract stuff. Why don't you try coloring someone else's lineart?
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Its obvious that its a Bottle-Tentacle-Hamsterface-robot-ufo from outer space..
How could you miss that?

Anyway the shading is a bit wierd, it got no real light source. Or it looks like its a bit from the right, but still. I dont know what style your shooting for.. maybe you could explain a bit more what you were trying to do?

I think I can see it. I mean... I can tell that there's a pod-esque U.F.O. and it's taking off. I can't really tell what's going on with the alien.
You may want to work on a larger scale. It may make finding the individual details a bit easier.

Ok, until Monsoon's comment i honestly thought it was the head of some guy, wearing one of those old fan-ish collar things.

I think sharprm's right. I'd like to see you colouring someone else's lines, because i don't think i've seen much actually colouring from you as of yet.

Anyway, keep it up.

Oh, I thought they were legs not flames from taking off. Starting to wonder whether its wearing a kilt.

Rerg1: Try coloring that  as an excercise.

Here's a recreation. I'm pretty sure the design is close.

And your pretty darn close.
Sorry I didn't post earlier was busy for the rest of the night.
I don't want to use Moonsoon's lines though. And I dont think  I should?.
I was going for  ablocky look and I obvouisly failed.
I don't have the original line art I saved over it.  :mean:.
I'll have to work on what I have.
Btw nice lines Moon.


Sharp: I'll colour them when I'm at home.
