Well, I'm finally starting to improve with my pictures, especially since I finally made some finished colorations with photoshop! :9

It was a picture I originally made for Dmitry's Heart of Storms, but I wanted to practice coloring hence you see the result above. Of course there are errors like the fire not reflecting on them. <<'

A little Gnoll I drawed in my freetime.

I like the first picture, the style reminds me a lot of Warcraft 2. However I am not too fond of the troll, looks wrong in some way. Perhaps it's the color.

Very nice digital start. You have good painting sense.

Its becouse hi face isnt elongated (something nobudy ever does right, dunno why its so hard) and the ears grow out of the back of his head.

I applaud you for entering the digital age man, your scetches are always a treat.

The way you made his chin/mouth area somehow reminds me of Quentin Tarrantino lol.

Anyway, very nice piece. However his pose strikes me as sort of odd. Why would anybody place themselves like that, I would get a pretty nasty pain in the neck.

But yeah, either the head is seriously misplaced or he has a weirddd neck.

oh my god, at last you stopped making 1cm x 1cm drawings :)
It's definitely an improvement from your works from 3-4 years ago, but you still have a long way to go.
Perspective, sense of proportions, colors...these are things you should focus on really hard. Your coloring is pretty bland right now, everything seems flat. But it's a natural step though, everybody does it.
My best advice for you know would be to study the colors of real life stuff, that means paint some still life. It's the most common advice, but god damn it's the best. Really, you'll get a much better sense of light and volume after you do a few of those. If you did so far, well keep doing it.
