Description
Queen! (again)L-R Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon
This started life as a pencil drawing from a reference photo, then turned into a permanent marker extravaganza...I don't like how their faces turned out, and will redo this probably. There's some whiteout around here...
Anyway, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM required. I can't fix this if I can't see what's wrong with it. Please?

I love it a lot. I hate critiquing things because I'm not an excellent good artist myself...
Roger's nose seems kind of short *cringes* BUT I THINK OVERALL IT LOOKS VERY PROFESSIONAL!

I think you're GREAT! You skills shouldn't limit your ability to have ideas, either. Thanks a lot! It helps

I think the faces have a good cartoony quality about them. Great detail in the clothes. I like it.
If I had to make any crits, I would say John's hair looks like it's not his. But then again, when he had long hair, it didn't seem right anyway. Maybe it was the way he had it cut.

Lol, I'm trying to get away from the cartoony! D:
Thanks a lot. Everyone keeps telling me different things, so I might just leave it this way, I don't know.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Only one thing though made me a bit confused, because I think that Brian's and Freddie's hair are a bit too similar to me. It's great, added to favourites!

It looks wonderful dear, you truly have a style of your own! I especially love the details on Roger's jacket.
My only crit is that Roger's eyes are a tiny bit unbalanced. I think their faces all look fantastic though, you nailed their defining features - Freddie's jaw/chin, Brian's nose/eyes, Roger's whole face looks awesome (despite my crit), John's nose/mouth etc. I love this!

That's freaking awesome! Hmm..constructive criticism...I think Freddie's nose needs to be a bit straighter. XD I love the random things I notice. I hope that helps. ^^

This rocks! I think the faces are fine but the way you did their clothes was pretty damn awesome!
I think you should show more flow in hair Bri's hair is fine though I think your dissatisfaction of how the faces turned out is due to the lack of depth in shading which would be extremely hard to render using black permanent marker :0 You can also try to add more reflection shine to there eyes to make them look less sleepy
I still think this is brilliant, Iris Keep up the great work!

I think it looks great I was gonna say Freddie's hands are a bit big, but then I saw the reference photo and realised that his hands are huge in that photo
I like the detail in Rogers coat

I love the way Roger turned out to be! Surprisingly enough...
I wish I could draw more than one person in the same project, hahaha.
I think this looks great and I've missed your art! I was quite relieved when I checked the messages and saw this. Finally!
As for some critism: BIGGER UPLOAD WOULD DO GREAT 8D uhm, Brian looks a little more drowsy than he usually does, but I loved this! Link to the ref-photo? I NEED IT.
