The water with the reflections and ripples is very impressive!
The water is the least impressive thing about that picture, water is extremely easy to draw. You just have to draw the inverse of what’s above but retaining the perspective, like an inverse portal. Personally I think Jacob’s water in this picture isn’t very good. I mean, it’s just hatching with no attention to the actual shape of the surface of the water. You could argue the water is completely flat, fair enough, but why is the surface glowing?
The left hand side reflection is also incomplete considering this is 1-point perspective with no distortion, the red highlighted metal structure area around her hair (and the pipes sticking up below her hair) isn’t reflected in the water, the reflection is blank where it should be.
That’s the trouble with Jacob, I really enjoy his drawings, but he rushes all forms of hatching at all times.
Also he forgot to draw shadows on the water. Shadows don’t magically go away when they are on water.
On the left hand side where the water meets the metal piping thing, it’s glowing. There’s ambient light from nowhere. It’s like the vanilla water in Fallout 3. Where are the contact shadows? Where is the ambient occlusion!!1!1!1???
Of course, no offence.

The light is clearly coming from the right of the picture...
I’m not talking about that at all.
Do you want me to spend minutes of my life pointing it out on MS Paint? Fine, I will. Lol.

Ahem,
I for one like the hatching on Jacob's water since I'm not an ironically pretentious art critic.

Best girl from the new Valkyria Chronicles game; unfortunately I ran out of paper so I couldn't draw her feet and shadow (unless I continued on the tabletop).

You know that would look amazing with a pen. Just sayyyyin
Also how did you run out of space? Don't you plan your drawings out?

I did, but not well enough. Should've made the whole thing a bit smaller.Kentucky James said:
You know, if you had a drawing tablet you would be able to change the document's canvas size and *gasp* continue drawing!
It's looking good by the way, crowning some visible improvements I've been seeing as of late. Shame about the pencils².
