When you color it, you should try a restricted color pallette. Limit yourself to one or two colors, and use various shades of them.

Perhaps a nice, dusty yellow, if this robot cowboy world is anything like the dustbowl. Or perhaps a faded brownish hue throughout as though you're looking at an old timey photograph, hmm?

If going for the photograph look you might want to add a bit of grain to the finished image.

Remember to take into consideration the light source as well. In this image the light source is most likely comign from the upper left, so that could give you the opportunity for added drama to the scene. Because the robots' faces would be in shadow.


You also need to work on your hatching. I know I'm not one to talk about that. Bits of the hatching look perfectly fine, for instance int he upper right corner in the doorway, it looks great, but the hatching on the hidden hand, and the wagon look hurried, as though you were trying to quickly finish the drawing. Which you probably were, but I wasn't paying much attention when you were drawing this.

Your lines are improving, but may I suggest playing with line thickness in the next couple of drawings you finish? Like thicker lines on close up objects, thinner on objects further away, ect. There's other methods to that whole line thickness jive, but that's the only one I was ever any good at. You might also want to try the method of making the lines thicker where there are shadows if you want.

I think you've made a good start, but you need to draw from references more. And from life.

I am wordy!
