Don't be so hard on yourself

Nice isometric perspective, that's usually something beginners try to avoid doing.

serenekitchen responds:

Thanks for the positivity! i didn't know that doing isometric images was a really big challenge until i sat down to do it.

[Meagan]

great style

I see 3 great paintings here in this one: 1.The sun and clouds 2. forest and animals 3. mountain and skier. As a rule of thumb, you should never put more than one 'thesis' in one drawing, otherwise the piece will lack focus. Think of your work as an essay because that's basically what it is! All art is an attempt to communicate an opinion!

UnderARock responds:

thanks for the review..its all stuff that my girlfriend loves, I dont really expect anyone else to 'get it'

[Hazel Eyes]

A+

Let me tell you something. Ask any amateur what they hate drawing the most and the human skull is way up there. Not only is the skull well rendered but the careful design of the tear away really enhances the 'magic' of this work. Loving the detail on the hair too. On top of that, you have a figure on the lower right with interlocking arms (very tricky to do). Great work.

sucho responds:

yeah the skull was tricky but really fun to try and figure out how it would interact with the face above it. i wish i knew how accurate it really was.
i did have a photo reference for the figure at the bottom, and i'm trying to branch out and do more interesting body poses. definitely not cheating by tracing, or even just copying fully from the source image, but i've found it to be really helpful to look from real-life photos. really guerilla blurry stuff like over-exposed shots at parties and clubs. you learn alot about the human body from people bustin' moves. or trying to.

sorry, tangent

[Eugine]

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.

[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.

[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. :\

[Chowder And Schnitzel]

nice job rendering chowder

try to get these characters to do something other than just stand there. Also, a background would really help.

Alec-D responds:

yeah

[Anime Me]

great job

Love how actually made his eyes asymmetrical. That really adds life to the character. Your outlines are powerful and the gradations are super crispy. Also, the most difficult thing to draw in the world are hands and the hand of the suave guy is drawn flawlessly.

Great Job! :)

zigan responds:

Thank you. I have a problem with hands as well, it took me a few times to get the perspective of the hand right, it's something you have to be real careful with. >_<

[MoonLight]

This is your best work

But you still have a lot to learn. Work on that anatomy more. His chest looks more like a jacket. Work on your rhythm too. There's a book called Composition by Arthur Dow, it should cover all the basics you need to know about rhythm in Art.

sweetyluli responds:

That would be interesting. I wonder how'd it would look if I tried a painterly style like this again. 🤔

[Mr. Youhaveto]

this is the best lion you did so far

you got rid of those 'twins' this time.

Notice how much more powerful the drawing is in comparison to the others.

My only gripe with this one is to make the action more extreme. the Lion should be really clawing on the floor trying to escape the man grabbing his tail. Make that hand grab harder too. This is a scene that demands intense emotion so don't be afraid to be bold with it.

wise-irbis responds:

it is not lion. snow leopard.

i did my best. this is old work.
thanks )
