The Devil is in the Details.

David Doub; Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - 04:38

First I'd say you have a good use of color and use it to make some creative looks in the graphic design of your pics. That said, I think maybe such tools (like coloring on the PC) my be a crutch for you.

When you see the underlying original pencils, they're weaker and unsure. Like on the first picture, you do a good job of using a sketchy pencil style for part of the pic, but then parts of it don't nearly have the same strength (like the nose and the mouth). Same with the second picture. You do this cool crazy background but then figure suffers for lack of detail and attention.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that your work shows that you have a great creative spark, but you need to focus more on your basics to make a stronger picture overall. So instead of focusing on coloring and backgrounds, you need to focus more on your basic linework.

I'd also suggest to look into inking techniques to help make your linework stronger. On the second picture it's obvious you colored straight over pencils and with the hair being a large patch of solid black, it makes the lines seems that much muted.

Mind you this is all positive because you do have a style going on, I just think you need to work on the foundations of your art some to make it better. I know that may sound a bit cliche, but sometimes there are truths in cliches.

They're cool, but I really

Look Its Nichole; Thursday, November 22, 2007 - 05:19

They're cool, but I really think some anatomy study might not hurt. I don't want you to think I'm being harsh, but the mouths don't look like mouths. Also, on the one of the guy, the one eye is much bigger than the other, they aren't proportional.

Hope this helps.

True...

Plant; Thursday, November 22, 2007 - 05:36

Also the girl needs some curves, even the most straight-up-and-down girl I know has more curves than than. Also there's something funky about the left shoulder (our left, her right).

Your anatomy is a bit out of

WaterFaerie; Thursday, November 22, 2007 - 22:07

Your anatomy is a bit out of wack as well as your lines but I admire your freeform graphics. I can never get free form shapes and such right but congratulations, you have captured it.

Plant's picture

I didn't mention this before

Plant; Friday, November 23, 2007 - 01:52

Because I didn't want to nit-pick (I still don't but I have nothing else to say and I want to stay in this conversation ha ha ha), but you should try to make the skull fit onto the fabric of the shirt, not over it. Like now its like sitting on its own layer above the shirt, if you understand what i'm trying to say.

I know it's three quarter

Look Its Nichole; Friday, November 23, 2007 - 05:54

I know it's three quarter view, but even so, the eyes aren't proportional.

It doesn't follow the folds of the fabric

Plant; Friday, November 23, 2007 - 22:12

It sits over it, is what I'm trying to say

I know what'cha mean Plant.

Look Its Nichole; Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 05:12

I know what'cha mean Plant. The skull appears to be floating above the shirt, rather than sitting on it.

I think that the way she put

Kurenai Ichi; Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 18:15

I think that the way she put the skull over the shirt is purely artistic more than realistic. It looks fine in that respect.

Plant's picture

All of mine are mistakes

Plant; Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 23:35

I screw up drawing the head again and again until I get so frustrated I con't concentrate. But every now and then I'll slip up and get it right!
