Second Time Around..

And it's still as awesome as I remembered it.

[The new style of cat-woman]

Impressive.

From the looks of the brushstrokes I can assume this is traditional work, yes? I'm also going to guess that you used some sort of paint or water colors. I'll have praise you for the neatly done shading, which is quite a feat since shading with materials such as paints and whatnot is ridiculously messy.

Good job.

Ukki responds:

Thanks :)))
Yes, this traditional art. Watercolor, pastel. And a couple of effects.

[HVORFOR?]

Very stylized.

I like the way you drew the whole face, especially the nose. I might say, this is a very unique way of drawing. The lines are just beautiful.

Strange Proportions I might say.

This drawing looks rather decent, but it could be better. For one thing the head is a bit "incompatible" with the whole body due to the sheer difference in size. Even for a chibi drawing, it looks horribly disproportional. It's as if the head belongs to some other guy and glued it to a child's body. Creepy.

I know he's a hobbit, but the anatomical structure of the arm really bothers me. It's almost looks as one solid mass of flesh and bone. No joints or anything, which really is really quite odd. The hand looks as equally distorted as the arm itself. You better get on that the next time you draw chibi.

I'll have to be honest and say the coloring looks very promising, but it appears to be too soft at the moment. I clear sign of uncertainty. It would be better to use more solid and vivid brush strokes to avoid making your drawings look flat such as this one. It would also be great if you were able to use a variety of shades and highlights. You know, darker and lighter colors.

Your shading looks rather boring, soul crushing even. I think that small flaw is an easy fix. Just use more expressive and "lively" colors. I mean look at that, I can barely tell the shades from the base color. So you'd better get on that.

I'll end this review by telling you to practice more, and you'll eventually get better.

Moferiah responds:

Thank you, for your review. I'll try to take that into account in future.

Rhunyc responds:

Needs a lot more to be desired

I guess I should write a critique about this drawing. But first I'd like to point out that this is in no way realism or semi-realism, it's 100% anime. I mean look at it. Well with that made clear let's proceed with the criticism.

I think your biggest weakness here os the shading. The main reason as to why your shading seem to be quite ineffective is due to the softness and uncertainty of your strokes. I advise you to use more solid and pronounced shading in order to make a larger impact on the viewer. The shading is rather dull and boring. Adding a wider range of darker shades a lighter ones might make the it more interesting to the eye of the viewer.

I'd also suggest to use some highlights since it generally helps make the drawing look a lot more realistic. Also what's up with her eyes? Are they glowing? Well they don't look pretty useful in the picture. It's bit of deadweight around the other elements of the drawing since they are quite unnecessary.

The shading around her hair looks very messy, there is no order at all. I think it's another factor that pretty much downgrades the picture. Also the background looks very unappealing. Also her neck looks too long.

Generally this pic really needs a lot more. Better get to practicing then. 3/10

AnDrew19787 responds:

I must stress my points a bit further. This was MEANT to be semi-realism practice. It doesn't mean it IS. I've also said this was practice and that I've never done realism before.

You'd be surprised that actual animes can have longer necks than the one here. Realistic necks are about as long here though; they are just thicker in diameter.

[Hatred]

Hate huh?

Well we've all been feeling that lately. So what's with the hate?

[whatcha doin?]

For a second there...

I thought it was nene. Well I see you haven't quite the whole anatomy thing down. I guess that's what happens when you draw too much chibi. Seriously. The shading also doesn't quite make sense if you look at it, it needs bolder and more solid strokes of shading. If I didn't know any better I'd say this is quite half- assed. I'll give it a 5.

Stealing pics from the internet and tracing it is bad mmmmmkay?
