I really like this kind of stuff Battle Angel, Ghost in the shell; at least I used to. that kind of stuff doesn't seem to be very popular in Japan though (at least as far as I know).
my tablet broke, and my computer was being ... well ... upgraded ...
so i didnt have anytihng ot do any art work with for a while :S
thus lack of progress
thought that studying things like this might help me improve
at first i thought that the color was orange but then it occured to me the color of anything is not often the color of anything ... well ... appears. the color of what things appears can be heavily influenced by their environment, by things and lights in their environment
ummm ... i still have trouble with coloring things T_T
hmmm ... ive gotten pretty rusty. seem to recall being faster and better at this (not that i was very good to begin with) such as what occurs if your putting in 40 hours in survival job T_T i get maybe 4-5 hours in the day to do as i please. how do you organize your time?
prioritize what's important to you and just do that?
1) Use all your other time to think about what to do, how to do it and solve all the problems while you're not in front of the computer.
2) Know exactly what you're doing when you sit down in front of the computer.
3) Be happy. Meditate. Exercise. Try not to resent not being able to sit in front of the computer more.
The picture?
Coming along nicely. You're definitely doing the right thing. Don't solve ALL the problems with every piece. So you're using Appleseed design (you should be more explicit what element you do use though!) and focusing on the technical aspects. Next piece should be about design, and not so much technical.
BUT -- basics. You're a novice, you should be doing very basic stuff (practice perspective).
When I look at your drawing, the forms are well-rounded and volumetric. It seems like you've got it all figured out, but the rendering is needlessly complex, in my eyes. You could apply broader, 1-touch strokes that should do the same job of 100 small ones, and more. Have a look at Drew Morrow's rendering. http://members.iinet.net.au/~drew1/blah/public_html/Pwny.htm
