For some reason I remembered our Russia-vs-Ukraine Gas Wars... you might heard about that... when eastern Europe left without russian gas in winter.
And so I decided to draw a cat struggling to open the gasline valve... That scared look wasn't intended, but I liked it and decided to leave it as it was. It might be a backup relief valve of some sort and if he couldn't open it - something will explode.
Technically there is a new innovation in inking stage. I managed to use vector graphic abilities of Photoshop... It's not that noticeable on such a small pic, but in high resolution all lines are perfectly drawn without any deviatons. But still this induced some major glitches which you can find here. But at least I tried. It took probably the same amount of time if I was inking with tablet... so I don't know if I'll stick to this vector thing in future drawings.
I tried to sketch in the manner of previous submission... but that didn't help much to the final pic... once again everything looks flat and low-detailed... I don't even know what to do and how long it will take before I could actually like how I'm drawing... it's not now for sure. :)
But I hope that fancy background will distract you a little bit from horrible imperfection.
If you see something you think could/should be improved and you can advice on how to do that - tell me.

It's actually pretty good. Not being an artist myself, I can only give you the following tried-and-true bits of advice.
1. Start from points of contact. In this case, you'd be starting from the hands (touching the valve) and the feet (touching the floor). That keeps you oriented, and lets you make sure to stay anchored in the plane of the drawing.
2. When in doubt, use a mirror. Ora model. It never hurts to cjeck your anatomy and pose by watching a real body.
3. Watch the light. Good shadowing can really help any picture; decide where the light is coming, from, what (if anything) is reflecting it, and where the shadows fall. If in doubt, use available materials to set up a shadow box and see the results for yourself.
That's about it, really. Sorry I can't be more help.
