Brilliant doodle - I wish I could draw something half as good that's not directly copied from something.

Looks pretty good. Good composition, good colors, decent characters. Most of all, I'd work on the perspective--the road appears to be heading upwards at a 45 degree angle and then abruptly ending two hundred feet in front of the background buildings, and some of the foreground characters appear smaller than the ones further back. I do really like the zombies piling towards the door though; you should definitely expand on it.

Inherently flawed with the fallout Australia in the background. Fallout is stereotypical 1950s America, the US not Mexico or Canada, set forth 2-3 hundred years in the future.

An Australian version would have to be called Mad Max.

I like it, I'd work on improving your composition before improving your artwork. You draw well enough that composition, how your drawing fits on the page, is your biggest hindrance.

As far as I can see, the issue is perspective. Other than that, all you need is practise.

Also, decide on a pallet before you start shading. Dull greys and greens are good for Zombies, so make the survivors slightly deeper, richer colours for a contrast.

Lots of potential though, so keep it up.

Its decent atleast a lot better then mine.

Should upload a few drawings of a friend of mine. He just casually made them during class but they still looked pretty good to me.

Not bad, not bad, but in terms of size, people seem to be in really odd proportion to each other.

The picture clearly conveys a story with imagery alone. Unfortunately, proportions and perspective are way off.

Just an arbitrary observation, but all of the zombies have their left legs forward. It looks like they're marching in unison.

Actually I disagree Australia had its own 1950's culture that while distictive in its own right it was still similar to America and therefore not unregognizable, just more sterotypically Australian

I see no reason why a fallout Australia wouldnt work...hell our animals dont even NEED to mutate to be dangerous, but could you imagine a death-claw kangaroo? 10x more terrifying than a standard death claw

plus Mad max pretty much defined post apocolyptic, we should get a slice of the fallitu action too

oh and yeah the fallot was a bizare typo, I have no Idea how I missed that

The colors are great! How long did this take you?
hmmm mabye a day and a half even though it may not look it, as for the colurs I just used standard coluring pencils (we have alot of them laying around) as they are easy and quick and I fint actual painting really tedious, plus I tend to mess it up, I think the colurs would come through better if the picture was better quality, if I scanned it or somthing

It's "good" but it isn't "good", catch my drift, and btw, what's with the weird wall between the laundry room and the zombies?
ah well as Im sure everyone alrady pointed out the peserpective on the laundry floor is completley wrong I am aware of this

the wall is actually a cross section (like somone has theoretically cut it away to see whats going on inside and out), anyway I didnt have any specific plan when I started it , I just made stuff up as I went

I gave it a 4. You draw humans better then I do, but the coloring seems a bit weird, and certain things do look wrong.
