Hipster art

Just because you came up with this idea, doesn't mean you should make this simple little picture. You should've taken the time to actually make something worth being in the Portal.

ClassyRaptor responds:

I dont mind if you dislike my drawings, but I am in no shape or form anything that resembles a hipster. I am working with a tablet that is probably wacom's oldest model. Being that it's extremely small, it is extremely hard to making something extremely detailed. As of now, I am just practicing by doing simple drawings, so that when I get the cintiq 12wx I can have more detailed art.

[my cat died]

Okay

The idea is there. I see it and, with the right amount of skill, can be made into a great picture. At the moment, this looks like it was drawn by a fifth grader (no offense), so you ought to hone your skills and attempt it again. Dark Knight Rises-status, knowwutimsayin'?

TheDownwardDog responds:

i wanted it to look like a fifth grader drew it though it's for a childrens book

It seems you already posted this with a wrong thumbnail.

xShellah responds:

Fixed, thanks for letting me know. :)

[The BIG Charly J]

I get it

Good movie. Nice rendition of the characters with your own. It'd got that old Disney style. Doesn't really strike me as an "art piece", but it looks good for what it is. Sort of a promotional picture or something. Nice colouring and shading. It's all simple but effective. Good job.

juan-arg responds:

You're right. This was a promotional poster in the presentation of the third issue of the comic. It was meant to be simple and eye catching. Thanks for your review.

[Determination]

Goddamn

This is hyper realistic. Form and shading and everything. Although, the part on his left (our right) arm where that pit is supposed to be looks weird. Also the forearm and hand are too thin. Also, is that bump next to his right thigh is foot? If it is, it's too far in that direction. His right hand seems to be lacking something detail. It looks kinda rough and blocky.

1600 responds:

Thanks for the review- I had a deadline for this piece, and I ran out of time to work on it, so it's not quite as good as it could be.

[You cant forget the past]

Dem proportions

Still having trouble with those. I did see that this is practice, and I'm aware of how damn difficult it is to draw from this angle. You did get the angle down pretty well, but you're still having a tough time with the proportions, mainly being the armour. Her left spaulder (our right) is too high and close to her. The chestplate's right (our left) isn't supposed to be the part where her tits are supposed to be; that's her front. What you should've drawn is the side of it because the viewing angle isn't that far to the other side. The legs should be a bit shorter and the feet a bit bigger, because it looks like she's way too tall.

One thing that I don't really like about your works is your line art. It's too simple, especially here, and it stands out too much and kills the rest of the piece. You're still on top of the colour, but it just clashed too much with the lines. Keep working on these things.

bocodamondo responds:

yeah you are 100% right. and its because i dont draw from prespectives very often. infact very rarly. so its just normal that it will turned out lame XC
but i still THINK it turned out kinda acceptables for the fact that i nearly NEVER draw an artwork prspective from above or below dont you think?

the lineart? he..maybe i should do it like back then make it invisible to 50% that might help

anyway thanks for you review and sorry because i did such a unmature respond to your review in my goku evolution artwork. i was just in a bad mood at that time

Interesting

Pretty little concept you have here. I really like how vivid all the colours are without clashing or being too noisy; it's all harmonious. The background looks like the kind on a character bio page, which would make sense for this. There's something about the feet/roots that I don't like. I think they don't look "solid" enough or something. Or maybe they're too smooth (not root-like), even though that wold go against the art style here. I'm not sure.

Jennaveve responds:

Thanks for the critique (: . It was this verses her being rooted into the ground. It was hard to give her feet as a flower creature without over-powering, stumpy root shoes :P . Perhaps I should've made them more into the form of high heels, hrm....

[FOCUS]

Pretty good

The head's way too big and the neck long, there are a few rough spots here and there, and the tit looks bulbous. I really like the make-up around the eye and the eye itself. Oh, and the folds a bit to the right of the armpit look stiff; not very natural. I'm pretty sure the fold under her tits would be at a concave curve, not convex, especially since they're popping out. The lines of the sleeves and the "v" area over there are too blurry. The shirt has some light spots t the left that are supposed to make it shiny, but there's something about them that I don't like. Maybe they're too shiny. The yellow outline around her and her hair looks good and her make it stand out. The background's kinda simple, but it fits with the "theme" here. Unless she's supposed to be taking her own picture holding the camera, her arm is too far back. Good job and work on those folds and little roug spots around.

ramymagdy responds:

these are called push-ups :) ... and for the rough blurry areas .. I wanted the focus to be on the face .. the rest of the painting only took 15 mins ..so it doesn't have 2 be all realistic ...thank u 4 ur comment

[Goku's Evolution]

Terrible proportions

The middle one looks like Popeye. The rest share a variety of fucked up-edness. Like I said before, you're good with colour and clothing, but you really need to work on the proportions, body parts, and accurately copy the art style.

bocodamondo responds:

like popeye? he?? i dont see any resemble at all :S
i dont think the proportions is that bad. i mean ive made much worser then that ^^
and who sayz i HAVE to draw them EXACTLY like its art style. im not f=cking akira toriyama >:C

[Rivals, and yet Friends]

Half-and-half

What I like about your works is that you've got the colour down; you know how to use it. However, you've got a problem with you line art. In some pieces, it's good, but in ones like this, they've got flaws. Also, in this one, the thumbs, knees, fingers, and muscles are pretty badly drawn. Also, their faces irritate me. Not very accurate to the source's style. You have potential, but you need to iron out all these problems.

bocodamondo responds:

true ^^. but since i have more dbz animations rather then artworks. im kinda more focused to give them less details. and yeah im aware of the fact i didn give vegetas leg enough muscles, but i think those leg muscle are kinda creppy. thats why i rarely draw em.
even if its not perfect,im still happy how it end up c:
