Description
Here's my new sketch of Tommy Vercetti, this was some training in perspective which I think I might have failed haha! I'd love to get some feedback on how it looks and if I got the angles right.. The way I see it.. I think the perspective of the characters might be fine but the background kind of goes the wrong way.. Not sure. Maybe I'm being fussy, but let me know
TOMMY'S THE MAN! And we've got Mercedes right next to him, and the good old Infernus behind
Damn I hope Rockstar re-make Vice, that would own my life 
Enjoy!
-Pat
PS more sketches to come!

Hey dude there isn't a huge amount wrong with the perspective so I will just point out about the main things I noticed, the car, gun and torso area of Tommy. I did a bit of a trace to see where the vp is, but I couldn't find a clear vp at all. things seem to be pointing anywhere from Tommy's jaw/upper neck area to as far down as the top of the gun butt. The worse offender is the bottom edge of the car, behind the wheel. I think this angle should be much steeper. The building and the trees give this very epic perspective (like that of a camera with a 10mm focal length), but then you have things like the car and the gun which have little of this extremeness. The car looks like its parked parallel to the curb outside the building. So in this case I think there should be more perspective on this. The gun needs far more. As one person mentioned, Tommy's torso seems a little front on. I agree. If he is a little more side on, it could be easier to make the perspective of the gun work. Try making the tip of the barrel larger and make the size of the butt a little smaller. It needs to have a bit of a perspective wedge look about it if you understand what I mean. With this extreme perspective you have and the characters being close to the camera, I would say the whole left side of Tommy (from his hips up) including the gun needs to be smaller.
Hope this helps,
Ben

Would you be okay with me colouring this sketch in maybe on Photoshop or something? I saw a different user colour in one of your pictures, and I was wondering if I could do the same.Β
If not, I understand, and won't break your rules.Β
Like the other user, I would give credit to you, and probably post a link to the original image, too.Β
I was just curious.Β

man i was hoping that gta 5 would be in vice city.i can relate because i always liked the mood vice city had to it. that and Tommy Vercetti is one of the my favorite characters next to Nathan Drake from uncharted.

Kinda like what im working on atm althoug in Illustrator o.0 Seems like making your own perspective is better than using old photos and Illustrators perspective grid because yours alredy look better

I love it, the perspective is fine. It is a little off but in a way that just puts loads of focus on Tommy, it looks deliberate, kinda fish eye you know?
But yeah, I've always thought that the science behind a picture doesn't matter at all as long as it looks cool. That's the point.
I dunno if I'd want a remake of VC but I'd love to go back, As a different character but maybe you could get missions from Tommy Vercetti. Vice City was my favourite GTA game.

Looks really good, though I think Xidon is right about the perspective lines. I just want to see what you do with the colors at his point though.

have u used a pencil brush for this ? or just put it in the wrong category :S

do you just draw these on normal A4 sized paper, or is it bigger? I always find that i feel restricted in making big bold figures and usually make them all cramped up...

We so need another vice city.
There might be a perspective breach in this, but it's not that annoying to the eyes.
Oh the joys of Vice City.

Looks amazing. Only thing I'd change is remove that apartment building and replace it with some typical Vice-City Mansion I'm sure we all dream about. Tommy's probably livin' the dream!

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but this really needs the color and glitz of Vice City to really be spectacular.

It looks like you messed up the perspective for a simple reason: A self taught perspective principle of mine is to not draw things overlapping other things. If you do so, then the perspective is may be weakened. Now, in the case of the Colony Hotel, it looks like it's well skewed, since you drew an adequate amount of it in the image. However, if one blocks the hotel out of the image with their hand, the weak overall perspective becomes obvious.
OR
You can use 3d programs for reference.

Blast from the past right there, diggin' the assault rifle and... honestly I don't see anything that is bad in the picture. Everyone loved that game, it was a damn classic.

Does he have enough hair gel do ya think?

awesome work pat, good to see some more tommy love from you.
some things i've notice is that tommy looks a little short, even from that perspective, and maybe add more brawn to the shoulders.
Also, Tommy has a five o'clock shadow, not a beard, i keep seeing chuck norris if i don't look directly at the picture :/

glad to see you love Vice City, by far the BEST OF THE GAMES
and once again the colour scheme suits the Miami feel of Vice City, Tommy's facial hair seems abit too much, if I recall he only had slight stuble, but they both look fantastic I can't fault your work man ^^ keep it up
