See, this already shows improvement! The stem is a bit thick, imo, but very solid and smooth. It’s never too early to flirt with a little color, either! (I know, I know, most of my stuff is black & white. Do as I say, not as I do! lol)

Stick is waayy big. The leaves got some weird edges (looks like poop) and the line in it got a bad starting point.
You should’ve removed the leave that’s right under the roses head. It takes away the focus on what’s the main piece of the work. 🙂

That’s good. 😀

It would be much easier if you used a thinner pen, so you could add more details or sketch more.

Aaaah! I can see it now. 😀

Ever thought about using markers ? They’re alot more fun working with, and easier, so you don’t have to backtrack alot. I use Pilot markers in two different sizes (F and M) so I can make thick lines and shading with the bigger one and detail with the smaller.

..And if the purpose of using pencils for this is that you can erase, sure.. that’s true, but the greater artists try to erase as little as possible, because that would ruin the paper / work. 😉
Use the pencil for sketching only, and trace over with the marker, that’s the best way and you get to do the piece twice, and you’ll find flaws easier.

No offense, Bert, crticism is great and all, but you really shouldn’t be on a forum criticizing others’ stuff if you aren’t willing to post any of your own work. I surely wouldn’t take cooking advice from a chef who’s food I had never tasted. Just sayin.

The techie stuff I puke out is something I’ve learned from my girlfriend which graduated classic-art school.
So it’s gold. 😀

If I can draw myself? Uhm, I’m not a retard, but not fantastic either.

edit: I’m an excellent chef btw. 😀
