This has a few obvious problems I didn't have the energy or desire to resolve, see if you can find them?

the problems ive found:
the ground is pretty flat, you need some detail all over the ground (trees, grass, stones, boulders etc. just dont make it flat) plus the hue is too saturated
the giants arms are too short and his mouth and eyes are too wide, his right leg too long, and there are some more subtle "mistakes" (pick up an anatomy book, it helped me a lot)
the trees look like you used an effect to draw them (they look blurred and have a "stony" texture feel) draw some trees from reference

the shading is better. though i see a few problems here and there

and thats as much i can write
it may look like a lot, but some practice should sort it out
hope i helped

I'm glad you liked the hat brewin, well you didn't say there were any problems with it anyways! ;)

This piece is a disaster, maybe I shouldn't post things when I haven't taken them seriously.
I think you're right, everything is wrong with this! Well, accept the hat that is.
This was like playing with paint and trying to stay on subject. I wonder, Should bad work be posted?
I know if it was a show of my paintings, I wouldn't put it up if I wasn't happy with it.
Maybe I'll slow down and won't post for every subject... But it does say Daily...

OK, but I'm not doing Clint Eastwood!
Maybe I'll do something from the archives today...
Thanks for the comments, the major problems I was thinking of were the left hand is completely unfinshed. The left shoulder got displaced somehow and needs to be fixed. AND his eye made me think of Sad Cyclops. The eye is way out of place. AND AND the mountains need shading if they are so well lit and the trees/giant cast shadows.
It was frustrating that you found all other problems, but that's the cost of asking for critique.
Did you ever read that post on critiqueing Helix posted a week ago? It's good information.
Anyways, lets all have a great weekend!
