Iron Man 3

First I'd like to mention...I'm keeping in mind this is more-so a "sketch+digital color". I'm also assuming if you had more time with it, it would be more perfected...

In separating the foreground and background I understand what you're doing in the lower right corner because of your light source. It is a tad distracting though. Iron Man is clearly the focus of this piece. I'd brighten the sky a little, darken up his armor and add a lil' more reflection shine as one of the secondary lighting underneath. With the perspective you're using the part of him closest to "the camera" should be the lightest point, still separated from the sky, and his body and legs slightly progressively darker. According to your overall light source being the sky or "sunset"? There should also be some indication of that on his right side. I'd also tone down the armor lights a bit. I like the motion blurs you've got going on and the lighting from the boosters is spot on. I like that you chose to go with Iron Man being so dark in the foreground. It's different.

I like where you're going with this... You're also progressing fantastically as an artist. Keep up the good work Derek! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
