ACT Bus Forum

Another 10 down, another 10-ish to go.

Once again, I have created this post to show you all my latest 10 major artworks. I would like to request that you pick your favourites (or least hated) of these 10, and also post in some feedback about my drawings; Improvements, techniques, things I could work more/less on. You can comment on a specific drawing if you like, general feedback is much appreciated.
Whatever you say that is constructive, I will use to help improve my skills to make my art either look better, more suitable, or just to overly improve the way I draw. I would like feedback this time, as I didn't receive any last time. I will be making myself more known in the artist community in the future, but I would like to start out here for now, and get something from more professional artists before making any steps forward.


Please choose up to your favourite or least hated 5 drawings (drawing development links are located below each drawing for you to view too - in case you hadn't seen them before)

A reminder of the past 10 drawings:

Details will be updated on new posts for every 10 sets of drawings.

Steps I have taken myself so far to improve the drawings are as follows:

• Improved bitumen colouring
• More details to the exterior of all buses in close proximity of the viewpoint of each drawing
• Trialing reflections as apposed to greyed out windows or interior views
• Including rear vision mirrors on all buses

These are the main few things I have put more effort into, but more input from any one of you could help too.
I'm still waiting for votes and feedback/criticisms. [/list]
