Description
Here's a quick piece I did up for an art battle over on PJ - [link]The topic was - The Walking Dead.
I don't usually post up uncoloured work, but I was digging this as is. I might do up some colours for it later and sell as a print, but for now, this is how it stands.
Ya dig?

I have to agree with the person who said the girl's face really looks like it came from a separate picture--but to me that doesn't mean the face is necessarily bad. It's actually nicely drawn and definitely reads 'child' to me; it just looks like a totally different style, like it was copied and pasted into the image from a totally different work. I think if the whole thing were colored, the issue wouldn't be nearly as prevalent. As it stands though, the zombies look good, well, as good as zombies can look anyway. Great shuffling poses.

Yeah, I guess I should have went with a more realistic looking child.
Far too cartoony.

Walking Dead is B&W comic and I like that! This piece is great, Juggs. I just feel sorry for the poor girl.

I see a number of good things in this piece. The angle is interesting and the foreground/midground/background relationship is solid. BUT... the girl's face is driving me bananas. There's a cool style to the zombies, the bear, even the trees, but then the girls face looks almost slapped on and too amateur for the attention paid to the rest of the piece. Unfortunately, there's that old saying about the chain being only as strong as its weakest link, ya know?

She does seem too anime for this, eh?
Hmmm...got any reference pics for drawing more realistic kids? I always draw 'em like this.

No, it's not too any certain style; it's too not in keeping with the detail of the rest of your linework. A piece may be ENTIRELY simplified line-work and be solid. In this, your attention to every other element of the piece make's the child's face look rushed/undone in comparison.
Children's faces are very VERY hard. An extra line or two can make they look old, and they have different proportions. My first thought of someone who was able to do children's faces in simple line without a ton of rendering is Andrew Loomis. His books have recently become re-available too. They are some of the most helpful drawing books to have in any artist's collection.

maybe need to throw some dirt on her or something.

The alteration actually makes her look a bit older (due to proportion), which I don't think is what you were going for/what the piece needed. For comparison, you know how you have hatching marks and faded lines almost everywhere else in the piece? The absence of any sort of extra detail on the girl's face is what is throwing it off. You've indicated light source via line everywhere but the face. It's almost like there's a floodlight right there.
Want a red-line? I might be able to snag a chance when breaking from Rush to Final Critique 2012 and organizing my model hirings

this is due tomorrow, but I'd very much appreciate any advice towards it.

Oh, whoops. That probably now means today
I think I said pretty much said what I think needed tweaking. It's cool that you're delving more into more detailed linework. Good luck in the battle!

Jugss, this is great! Your linework has definitely improved in the time I've been watching you. Love the perspective on this, it's appropriately disorienting

Thanks, man. I've still got a ways to go... but perhaps I'm on the right track.
Let's hope this stands up against Dreek.

This piece is really well done! So well done that I'm able to get over my incredible dislike for all things zombie and say so! Great work, I hope you do/did well in the art battle!

wow, you're the only person alive nowadays that'll admit to not liking zombies. lol

Ha ha, yeah. I'm not one to go along with something just because everybody else is, if I don't really feel it myself. Though sometimes I wonder if that works against me. Regardless, you threw down some killer lines and sharp details in this piece, it's really good work
