hello this is my first painting attempt I am trying to do this in photoshop6, this is a sketch just to get the shape down. I'm having problem with the legs, I'm not sure if its at the right angle from the perspective. Im planning to add the details, backdrop, etc after i fix the anatomy screw-up =) All comments are greatly appreciated thanks in advance! if the images dont work please try here: www.fatjungle.f2s.com/rifle1.jpg www.fatjungle.f2s.com/rifle2.jpg www.fatjungle.f2s.com/rifle3.jpg

please also look at www.fatjungle.f2s.com/rifle1.jpg www.fatjungle.f2s.com/rifle2.jpg they are images without the background so you can look at the screwed up legs =O

In this, my guess is that whats messing your eyes up is the feet. Because of the angle they're drawn in, it kinda looks like he's floating. Migh wanna consider doing a cheap drawing of it without it being a silouette, and then using the fill comman to paint it in black after. Me thinks drawing it with minor details will help you get angles right on. Also, consider the lighting of the scene a little more, because from the looks of it, theire's no reason as to why why can't see him. This shows some definite promise, be sure to post it in the galleries when its done man!

thanks a lot for the tip =)
