I decided the sepia tone sucks, and replaced it with a simple greyscale version.
-EDIT 033106-
Made a few minor changes... added texture to the barrels, changed the shadow on the poster, added a bit of crap on the pillar to break it up some and added some more texture to the bar. I think that's all.

I think the background is a little weak, but we get better by working at 'em. I'm feeling a little of what Mark Brooks was saying, about how the way to get better at drawing backgrounds (or anything that you generally avoid drawing and know you need to improve on) is to learn to love drawing backgrounds. I know, it sounds a little flip, but he's right... you gotta start really looking at backgrounds, finding things that impress you and working to understand how they're done, and eventually you find things to like about them, and then it's easier to try drawing 'em.
At least, so I figure.
If you get a desire to color this, go ahead and give it a shot... the only rule is that you have to let me know about it, and I'd appreciate a credit or link when you post it. You can convert this version to greyscale if you like. My advice is to give a lot of consideration to the lighting, and don't take my shadows for granted 'cause they're probably not always right... Probably not even usually right, really.
Uh, specs are 14x17, red and HB pencil on Smooth Bristol, color strip via Photoshop. Total time... gah, I have no idea. 14 hours, maybe?

Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".

When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant.
