I have been working on this sketch the past couple days, not quite done, and I'm thinking of a way to paint it, but I really like how it looks now so I thought I would show you, give me your thoughts!



It looks cut off on the top and front, but thats the paper size, so I do know it is cut off, also like I said it's not completely finished, like the face for instance.

I dig the rough quality of it- it's unfinished but being kind of raw and incomplete can add a lot to art sometimes. I'd play with some varying line weights- the face is outlined a little lightly with little detail while the lines on the helmet are more finished and confident. Play around with some heavier lines and detail with the expression- wrinkles around the eyes and mouth to make a kind of wince would add some realism, make it more of an expression than a quick sketch. I'd like to see some wrinkles in that skinsuit too, it doesn't quite seem to look like fabric to me. By the way- the composition rocks!
