Help on my Spider-Man art. It's also my art final project in school too.

Is there anything I could do to make this better? Any advice?
Thanks for any help.

Hmm, it looks good, but maybe cut down on the glare/brightness some?

Where the sun is? Okay I can do that a little. Thank you.

It's a good start I think. There are some anatomy problems, mostly in his lower half. His right leg looks odd as if from the knee down he's missing part of his leg. This comes from the positioning of the foot and the fact you can't see the lower part of his leg.

Personally I find the background colour rather distracting. Whether it's the colours or all the blending going on I'm not sure. It could also be that it's takes up so much and goes right over the buildings in the background. The perspective needs some work back there as well. Even if it's forced it should give the idea of a vanishing point and with building as the largest part I can see the lines delineating the windows simple run parallel with each other. The other buildings don't follow the same vanishing point either. Which to me isn't generally a big deal but one seems to be one point perspective. The one building in the foreground is more finished than the others as well which can take the focus from Spidey. I would suggest treating all the buildings the same way. Either make them all simple outlines or work them to same degree.

I like the composition. Spidey is large and clearly the focus. The action and gesture of Spidey is thought out and he doesn't look to posed. Good use of lines to lead the eye to Spidey, the perspective on his webbing, the lines in the buildings.

His hands need some work. I would suggest you simply look at your own for a reference. That's the easiest way.

The other big problem are the colors on Spider-Man. Every thing is drenched in a very glowing golden light, except Spider-Man is still in his plain colors. It gives the picture a very cut and pasted look. My suggestion would be to hold up some red and blue material to golden light to see what colors are actually reflected.

Use that as a reference and give him those same soft colors.

Good Luck!

Thanks guys. I don't think I could make it any better than that really. Not without re-drawing it, which I don't think would be fun lol.

It is good, I will say that. However, like so much or the amatuer art on the net, it looks like you spent twice as long PhotoShopping it as you did drawing it.

Next time, consider posting up somethig other than a finished piece. It's quite hard to go back and solve any isues once you're this far along.

Didn't take that long to Photoshop it. Unless you want to count stuff like me messing up on certain things again and again. Then I'd have to go back and re-do it by hitting the "Step Backward" button.

To draw it, it took me a couple hours. Really, alot of artists use computers to color their work today.
It's not like I spent 10 hours in Photoshop and 30 minutes on drawing it.

I agree with Juggertha. Try posting each step that you do. By getting crits at each stage it'll be easier to make changes and will help you to improve. Keep in mind what people have said about previous pieces and apply those into the next one too.

Finished artwork is really only as good as the underdrawing you start with.
