Artist's Comments

Every night I say a prayer in the hope that theres a heaven
And every day Im more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that Ive lost my faith

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way

And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know theres peace in a world so filled with hatred
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find weve so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just wont know

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away

And if I see a light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that Ill get there someday
Show me the way

Every night I say a prayer
In the hope that theres a heaven...

well first of all, their proportions are off, its probably just the style, but even for a cartoon they dont look exactly right you know? Its like they are too elongated and thin. Secondly I know she is supposed to be looking at him, but only because you said so, otherwise i wouldnt be sure that she wasnt just making a face. even when you are looking at something right in front of you your eyes dont cross like that. thirdly there is no space in the foreground you need to foreshorten the arms and make him much larger so that the viewer can see where they are in relation to each other. and lastly if you are trying to get this published you need to find another way to color it. No matter how good you get at using markers there is an overlap of them and it doesnt look professional. Markers are a good place to start but for a finished product paint or photoshop are a much better look for a book. other than that im glad that to finally see some of the illustrations you have been working on and the background is really nice.

I'm not planning to publish this, and all of it I agree on, it was fine as a sketch, but once I colored it....grrrrrr. anyway I was planning to redo it once I get more bristol board. Thanks for the critique:hug:

but trust me these are also all things you can easily work on. if you ever get the chance take a life drawing class! I have always known that drawing people is my weak point, and they say that drawing the human figure is the hardest thing to do in art, but already after just a few classes i have improved a lot!

I'll keep that in mind, I just know I've been struggling and nobody gives me comments or critism on my stuff. In short I have no idea what I'm doing:o

I'll have to save my money up. I unfortunatly don't get to draw on the computer often because my mom works from home.
