[As Passion Will Happen]

Sweet colors

Excellent rhythm. I can really feel those raw emotions. The bold and daring contours have so much energy. Please don't abandon this beautiful gift you have, its so good. Make more!

Oh no, not the 'cardinal sin'

Never ever say "I'm sorry if this is not my best" or "I know there are weak points like...". If you are not confident about the work, no one else will be.

Don't try to make excuses to why this illustration is bad. Get serious so you don't have to make excuses.

XxThumbsuckerxX responds:

I'm not making excuses.
I'm simply stating that I'm aware of the fact that as an artist I have room to grow & improve.
I'm very confident in my work, but I am not going to say 'oh this is perfect'.
I'm very aware of all my weak points & what I need to practice on, & every time I draw something is another shot at getting it right.

I am also, not that serious about my work. I'm 15 - got lotsa time to figure shit out.

not bad

I love the soft delicate feel of this character. Great costume too. However, don't be afraid to add more contrast. Without it , the illustration lacks a sense of depth, a big no no if you want to show this for a portfolio review.

Also, try challenging yourself by drawing things that you're not comfortable drawing. A great exercise for you would be to practice drawing bikes and lots of them. That will definitely help you boost your soft and delicate style to new heights.

nice brushstrokes

Love how the shirt has a lot of intense energy. But the blah face feels like it doesn't belong in this drawing. Art is all about thesis so if there's something that doesn't fit with it, the message losses power.

[Dead Womb]

Well done

Not only do I see the guts, but I 'feel' their slimy goodness. That's not easy to do and you've done it flawlessly. Good job.

[The Kitemaster]

Great textures and lighting

The dragons look really good too. Unfortunately, the girl's pose is way too lukewarm. A great tip-a-roo to solve this problem is to look for video/pictures of Michael Jackson dancing. Note how he fully commits to his gestures, they are never wishy washy.

Great job, keep practicing.

Hyptosis responds:

lol, this was the pose the client wanted. Thanks though.

[spandex]

hey hey, not bad

My challenge for you is to go as far away from anime as you can. I want you to be insanely creative next time. Don't show me what you like, show me WHO YOU ARE and what makes you DIFFERENT from anyone else. I don't want to see imitation, I want to see something ONLY YOU can pull off.

[October in Ecstacy Flowers]

That's a tough angle to get right.

I commend you for your effort. This is a tough angle to catch. I'm pretty sure you'll get even better with practice.

[Serving sizes]

Don't give your toons a backache

The posture of your characters are too stiff. Work on your s-curves more. Loosen up that line of action to give these girls some swing.

[Scarlette High]

Be careful with your placement

By putting Scarlette so low in the stage like you did, you made her appear short. Great colors though.

Xionscar responds:

All I can say is, this piece looks great as a print on my wall.. ;]

The long composition doesn't really change how I view the character, so I'm afraid I can't see how you get the same effect. :\
