You're letting your imagination loose, and I'm glad to see it!

Later on, I think this image would benefit from colouring that prioritized details, that made certain elements more prominent than others... because right now, they have a tendency to meld together, at the cost of clarity and composition.

But for the moment? Keep drawing, keep posting, keep showing what you can do. :)

"because right now, they have a tendency to meld together, at the cost of clarity and composition."

That was precisely what hindered me so long. I noticed this early on but I chose the compromise between starting all over and possibly ruining what I had drawn so far. As with Maldoror III the colors are applied quite thin and therefore a single mistake might ruin the whole picture. Maybe I should have scanned the outlines before coloring and tried different color schemes in photoshop before applying them.
A bigger canvas would have also solved many of the problems, since even in the flesh the small details do not really stick out.

You put those things in on purpose.

The angles and extensions, I can see them, but I've yet to figure out what they mean...

So do I

:)
Watercolors, Soft Pastels and ballpoint pen, with a little bit of crayon here and there. Actually quite simply.

any water color paper will do. Preferably with a texture strong enough to show on the chalk parts but not strong enough to dominate the effect of the thin water colors.

now you're just exaggerating. Of course I know I got talent and I'm happy about any kind of appreciation or criticism but I'm still nowhere near being able to rest on my laurels.

Talk to you later, I gotta go to sleep now or else I might miss my train tomorrow D:
