Because of school, i really haven't been pixeling at all lately, so i figured i should give it a try again. I decided to draw my baby, because i love it very very much. I've totally forgotten almost everything, and i can't do wood at all. the perspective on the guitar is kinda crappy too, i want it to be slightly titled left.

OT - So the image took a bit to load and I read its your baby and you can't do wood 

*Too small an area to get wood grains, just go for simple browns.

stand is crooked, texture on the guitar is a bit much (also, use more anti-aliasing, imo)

It's hard for me to tell which leg (of the amp stand thing) is in front of which. The whole thing looks pretty dark, too; I'd up the brightness a few notches, especially that darkest table color, and try to define the cylindrical(?) shape of the legs more if'n you can.

The stand is also aching for some perspective. Look at a real table from slightly above (basically just standing a comfortable distance away from it) with a corner facing you. You'll notice the near corner appears to point "down" and the near leg appears lower, while the back leg appears higher and the back corner points "up". This is technically a "two-point perspective" (I think--anyway, google it), but that's the basic idea. Draw from how things look in real life. We have a tendency to "flatten" 3D images in our head for some reason, at least when we try to draw them. Fight it.


EDIT: Just looked at this on a different monitor and it didn't seem so dark. *shrug*
