here's a plant
[QUOTE=Skerion;47917591]If you're talking about the one on the left, then I'm kinda surprised that you would say that, because the one on the left looks kinda bland and ugly in comparison to the apple on the right which looks more like an actual apple.[/QUOTE]
seems like the one on the left is rendered in a nicer way, but has bad values/saturation/highlighting compared to the right.

The one on the left is far more pleasant to look at, had nicer colours nicer strokes better style, nice friendly feeling. Better markmarking in terms of describing the form. It would take very little to polish that up into a very nice time-economic looking little study. the one on the right is completely unremarkable, a bit clumsy looking.
tbh if you don't spot the better apple straight away as being the left one you have quite a way to go getting your eye in. you should all save those two pics and look again this time next year, see what you think
I think part of what makes the right one look better skill-wise is that you can tell the artist used to be too careful with values and saturation, which is really common and is why things get muddy a lot of the time, and with the new one the colors are much more vibrant and interesting. Of course they can be toned down afterwards but it's better to purposely do that than get colors that look a bit faded and muddy simply because of being too careful
Regardless of technique, the new one looks fresh and delicious while the one on the left doesn't communicate that as much at all

"the better apple". Remember that aesthetics are subjective.
The right apple is the better one by far if you ask me, it's definitely too dark in the shadows, but the saturation and shading conveys an apple much more than the mudball to the left.
The left illustration has it's own appeal, but is also much more stylistic, so it could fit well into a world where everything was illustrated in more muted colours and flat shading. It's more realistic in many ways, but definitely not the one I would have picked up.
Really disappointed with most of what I did yesterday, but I feel like I made up for it with this, personally at least.

Also Anax, if you were talking about dragonball (?) its not. :)
started this webcomic thinghy, I know almost nobody will see it but it's more for practice than anything else. Here's a few pages, let me know what you think.

You should work on your poses. As they are now, they look very stiff and uncomfortable. Make them flexible, and more "natural," if I'm using that word right. In other words, their arms feel more like individual objects next to each other rather than all one, connected object. If that makes any sense. Though that problem is less apparent with the first or last pages.
Also, and this could very well just be me, having your speech bubbles with a white background color while everything else has a darker background color is unpleasant to look at. But I might be alone on that one.

I usually just look up poses from real life people and practice from them.

My teacher gave me an assignment to create a movie poster using only colors from Flat Colors UI and images from Flat Icon UI. I got too excited and ended up doing this.

The grey needs a lot more contrast on the yellow
I like the concept well enough, but I think I'd prefer it without the tiny gap running down the middle. The gray text is also kinda hard to read on the yellow side. Try it in white?
As I said, my teacher limited it to only colors available at Flat Colors UI so it's quite limited. I can change the text in the yellow bit but still...

I'm trying to push thumbnailing at the moment, because it's the part of the process that I find hardest and least enjoyable at the moment, and I need to fix that. I'm hoping to do at least another couple of dozen before I take it further.

I am giving you advice, I don't know why you are making excuses. Just because you had a limited selection doesn't mean that you made the right choice. I googled the Flat Colors UI thing and I don't see white on there, yet you used it in your piece. There is a light shade of grey I can see that you could use instead of the one you have now. Perhaps you could try that? Or since you are able to use white, you could use that too.
