Goodness, what a lot of detail! I like this, excellent perspective on the metal monster and good shading. Great handling of the contrasting background! My admiration!

    This was a challenge by cleo85 who sent a round robin for entries. I found him in Newcastle in a central courtyard of Northumbian University Art and Craft shop. Now that was a great shop for materials

A great drawing that I was surprised to hear was a rendition of an actual statue. A nice perspective with good details. Best of luck in the contest.

Amazing creation with metal parts--fine process. Unique image, metal robot like, pieced together. Nice orange windows or doors, small compared to the "thing". Nice metal sculpture. Best wishes.

Very creative and interesting piece. I thought this was from your imagination but impressed that it actually exists. You did a great job with the composition and juxtaposing the buildings next to it conveying a sense of its immensity. Only criticism is that it doesn't really come off looking like metal. Metal typically has texture from objects it reflects on its surface. There are also white highlights as light usually glistens off metal. Other than that it's a great piece with lots of movement and energy.

    Thank yoh for reviewing. I went back to mycreferrnce photos in view of uour comments. The metal man was mistly coloured car parts or rust and I found the shading wasnt really reflective but taking on board your highlites and using artists prerogative I have added some. I enjoyed doing this and think it is better.

Your drawing is interesting. This is indeed a huge and very unusual statue. The door and the window are a good scale for its size. Your detailed pencil work is impressive. The colors are appealing and emphasize the metal man well. The tall format is perfect. It emphasizes the size of the sculpture. The sculpture has an excellent placement within the frame. The drawing is well composed. The composition is balanced.

Wow the motor man is huge! What an intriguing sculpture! It's an awesome way to use the scrap parts from cars.
You have rendered it so well with such great detail. I like that you drew the structures behind it to give such a good sense of scale.
Well chosen and applied colors. Well arranged and presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest!

This is a fine fantasy creation of a mechanical man made from car parts. I see cogs, gears, a fan, several door handles, various straps, air filters, piston parts and a push button AM /FM radio. Very nicely done. Good luck in the contest. Ray
