Yeah I won't be able to post these things much, I don't have a scanner so I have to remember to take my stuff to my grams to do so. Plus *looks sad* my moms turning off the stuff soon.

I really, really favor bold colors...but that may be a personal preference. If you use colored pencils, use serious pressure and make them bold colors. Use a pointy eraser (or the side of a flat one) to lighten the colors up if you like for shadow/lighting. The designs are pretty cool, but the light colors are driving me nuts. For the book cover, I would type up the wording and watch the details on the hands.

wow, I love how you blatantly praise all your own pieces.

They're interesting and the third intrigues me. I take it those are the hands of your characters but if so, why do you tell the reader what happens to them before they've even opened the book?

I loved all the colours but the first one looses me a little. The last one is really good and the colours go well together!

Wow, kitty i didn't think about it like that. Yay it confuses people! Its supposed to be the same character, I've given up on the story because it was indeed crap, but she keeps reliving her life over and over until she becomes a vampire and doesn't die.

I like the colors, but it would be cool if they were much darker.

The hands on the book confused me, I didn't know they were hands, and was going to ask what the green things were...lol. Then I caught my mistake.

They're all good, but I would suggest using a pencil to draw everything, and then coloring it in with markers, that would make everything look really really cool. =D
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett

I love the first one. the repeating pattern and the boldness of the colours os great.

The second one is cool, but I think you could use a bit more blending.

Your cover is very cool. I think a slight pattern rather than just red would be cool. The hands are neat though they need some detailing.

All in all, nice work. Is it coloured pencil?

I think this is a good beginning. You need to work on your color, depth, shadowing, perspective, and almost everything else to do with art. I'm glad you enjoy drawing, I think you should spend more time on every piece you do. I'm not entirely sure you can call this "abstract." Just because the piece is un-focused doesn't mean it's abstract.

If there was a forum called "random scribbles" it would deserve all the praise.
