It's a very creative drawing. Some points of note:
-
The astronaut's left hand seems to be drawn as a right hand, you need to flip it around.
-
Try to keep your drawing a bit cleaner by not drawing over your previous lines over and over. You can also consider inking your drawing for a cleaner look.
-
The astronaut's arms are a bit stubby, you should make them slightly longer.

thanks so much for the critics sir I really appreciate it. I'll take that into consideration and make some improvements on it
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
