There is something wrong with her head...I don't mean the mask...the size is somehow wrong. Either that, or there is something wrong with the way she is sitting so that her head seems too big for her body.

True, but it still looks somehow odd. Her head looks dented because of the helmet maybe. Or maybe it is because of the way she sits, it is a difficult position to draw.

Either she is not holding her head straight, or her helmet is dented.
Maybe her feet seem to short and stumpy, but then again, they should, as she is viewen from the front...it's hard to find what doesn't feel good...I'm impulsive in these matters I think.

Yes, her head isn't looking straight, she's looking down to her legs.
I guess the drawing doesn't look right in some ways because this drawing was more made to make it look more like a feeling and therefore was drawn very lightly. So lightly the scanner could not even notice there were lines at 60% of the drawing. Therefore I made all the lines thick and hard, a big mistake.
Now it looks more like a hard drawing and not like a feeling so parts that were just fine if you looked at is as a feeling now don't seem to look right.

That a sufficient explanation, I understand what you mean. THis was what hyono wanted to avoid with her Risa-chan, so she left the lines as light as they were. You could try changing the contrast next time. If you make the background slightly darker thin lines are better visible.

Yeh but my drawing was even much worse then risa-chan. You couldn't see the background and her shoulders, arms and legs. Just the head and feet.

Something different. You have drawn some bullet holes, normally bullet holes are round... and when fired with the same cliber, the same size, perhapse you could have done this as well, they look a bit od too me.
Also a bullet leaves a hole, the holes in this elevator do not really seem holes too me, a bit of shade here and there would solve this problem i think.

Maybe, but the bullets could have been fired from different guns. There is something wrong with the figure.

I'll have to give the same awnser again, the drawing was originally drawn as a vague emotion not as a hard drawing so in the original the buller holes did not have to look exactly like real bullet holes, as long as you got the idea.

The idea is clear, but how are we supposed to vote if feelings differ from person to person?

The drawing has just become a failure because I made the lines hard. I'll just have to live with that fact so i don't care if you give it a low score =P

Difine a low score Shocked

A 6 is not a low score, when you give a 1, that is a low score Cool

And it is not a failure, every drawing is a new chance to learn and become a beter artist. Everyone starts with some pictures that do not look as they should, and even when you become beter you still will have drawings that will disappoint you. Wink

You now learned that when you make the lines thicker you will have to do so very precicely and very carefully, it is something to be avoided if possible. The chance of making a mistake is very great, especially when the drawing is already finished.
(sorry for the bad spelling)
