Description
~EDIT~Changed his facial expression, and made the eyes smaller.
Gotta love the spy.
(He's holding a picture of Scout's mother, just FYI)
This was pretty much just a huge experiment with a different style of shading, and I'm fairly happy with the turnout(with the exception of the background and the anatomy).

Alright, you asked for a critique, so I'll give ya one! I'm gonna warn you, though, I'm not the best when it comes to human anatomy. I know nothing about it, so I'm just pretty much going to give you my opinions on the picture, and what I think would make it better. :3 Hopefully that's good enough for you.
Alright, this picture is really good. I love the shading especially, and the pose is pretty creative. There ARE a few things that stand out for me, though, and some things that you should take in consideration next time you draw a human. :3
First, the eye. I'm not sure what style you're going for here, but unless it's an Anime style, the eye is WAY too big. Compare your eye in this picture, to this:

The eye in that picture is smaller and more realistic. :3
Another thing that bothers me are the arms... The one holding the cig looks a bit broken, like it's bending the wrong way. It could be the perspective, and I'm not sure how I can explain what I'm looking at... The part where the elbow meets the arm looks a bit off. Like, the curve. I can't explain it erdiogjkldh if you need me to circle it then ask and I'll do it real quick, xD
The arm holding the picture is a bit too skinny compared to the other one. Like I said, it could be perspective, but try to make your arms a bit fatter. Add more muscle. :3
That's all that's pretty much bothering me in this picture, and I'm sorry for confusing you before. x.x If you need me to circle what I was talking about, you tell me and I'll have it up in a few minutes. ^^
You have the basic structure and anatomy down, and trust me, this is FAR better what I could do. There's always room for improvement, though! <33
TF2 FTW by the way... Spy is my best class. <3

You make good points about the arms. Damn human anatomy, why you so difficult?! |D
Would you be so kind as to circle what you were talking about? I really want to see where I messed up. X3

Oh, I see it now. Actually, I can't tell you how many times I re-did that arm becuase of the elbow. ._.
Oh, and the eye being too big...that's a common problem for me. xD My friend told me its becuase my style is a sort of clash between anime and a western cartoon style(he's looking too deep into it, if you ask me)....But I think it's just a really bad habit. xD

I used to have that problem too... I still do have that problem. Whenever the eye is small, it doesn't look right. xD

Yeah. I've just...always...had a more cartoony style...which leads to me having difficulty with stuff like that. Can't do realism or semi-realism to save my life.

the line art seems well made the background eh its not bad but its better transparent or with a little less
i think the shine or light on the face is a bit to bright
u did nice on the suit till u reached the lower part where it meets
the finger holding the cigarette on the ring finger seems off in size and so does the middle finger
the eyes all in matter of opinion could of had a change in shape they seem a bit rectangular but all opinion just saying
shading is a real nice job and what u did between the creases is completely nice
all in all i would say its a piece to be proud.

You're pretty spot on about the fingers. They are kinda messed up. |D
Though I'm not quite sure what you mean by what I did in the creases. Explain?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can't
Ummm I am horrible at explaining sorry

It's not his mom, though. It's Scouts mom. If you've ever seen Valves official 'Meet the Spy' video, you see that the red spy was sleeping with Scouts mother.
Ok. |D Maybe when you feel better, then.

i dont know what to say
and if i am really that uneducated maybe its best if u dont recieve one from me since i am lacking info

You don't have to know much about the character to critique. I was just pointing out that it's Scouts mom.
You can still critique. The critique is more about how well I did the shading, line art, anatomy, background, and also if I could have done somethings better.

anatomy is out of my range since i know nothing

'Tis alright. Human anatomy is a challenge, so it's understandable. X3
