Alright, you asked for a critique, so I'm going to take the time to write you one. I hope you take the tim to read through it and possibly learn from it. This is written based upon your own skill level, so I won't chew you out for this not being amazing.

Plus this isn't a dragon and I think this deserves a bit more attention.

First of all, I really like this character. He's very awesome looking with that gas mask on and I raly love how the black and yellow contrasts. Thegeen background doesn't look too terribly bad either since green almost always looks good with greys and black. While I think you could have added more detail to the background instead of the darker sparkles and the lightr green outline of this Mr. Hat, the colour loks very good with the picture. It doesn't look like he's melted into it, but it doesn't pop too much. Again, I think if you added a little more detail to the backgrund it would have made this look much beter. As well, if you really wanted th charater to not stick out as much, try adjusting the levels in the picture an adding a photo filter to make the charcter look fitting to the background. In this case he'd be a bit more green than what he is now.

Next, I really like how you drew this charcter. Some of the lines look a bit too thick or misplaced in some areas, but hey, not everyone can keep thier hands straight.. believe me. *This is where the chewing begins*: I'm not a fan of sketchy lines, especialy if thy are really thick like this. In my poinion, the only things that look good with thee sketchy lines are the ones whose lines are barely visible, sketches, and concept artworks. This seems more like it needs to have smoother lineart in some areas. Another thing I notice is that the wrinkle lines in the gas mask's tube are kindof slayed out everywhere. If you wat it to look better, try drawing complete circles where the creases are to form a 3-D tube and place the creases where they re supposed to go. Othr than that I think you did a good job drawing and olouring the character, and I am very hppy to see something tht isn't a dragon for once.

Vision: I only rated a 3 out of 5 stars because it isn't very extravagent. This is a very simple, but fairly nice picture of Mr. Hat. I gave you the three because I think, compared to your other artwork, you tried a bit more to get this guys details out and actually had something going while you drew.

Originality: I gave you a 4 out of 5. Again, this isn't lik every other thing Iseeon this website, and that is enough right there to earn all of my respect. The only one reasn why I did't give you 5 out of five is because this isn't more than just prctice of a head shot, s it isn't un-seen.

Technique: I again gave you a 3 out of 5 stas on this because as said, the charctr oesn't blend in with te background, and he doesn't look lik he's misplaced amongst the background. I Ddn't give you the other two stars because I find that the character looks to be in the wrong lighting and I think you could have done a better job with the line work.

Impact: This is only getting a 2.5 out of 5 just because it's simple. Thre isn't muh to this picture othr than the fct tht it's practice, so really, this isn't a big deal, and you shouln't worry about this portion.

I really like what you've done but I know you ca do much, much better than this. All in all, I like this picture alot and hope that you keep practicing with this, becase I love to see stuff like this. I also hope you take in my words of advice an find this helpful.. or else I wouldn't have writeen a 700+ word long critique on your artwork.

Keep up the great work, as said, and keep practicing.

Don't see why you think it needs to look better. I think it looks really good and your digital work is really good.

Looks good, I like the gas mask
I suck at drawing humans too, but I use dragoart.com ([link] ) for tutorials, so maybe it'll help you too
