[My Drawings]

needs more

the head is to big in my eyes... i know its the anime style and all but thats a tad to big... tone it down a tad... line work is good and shows simple understanding of posture, right arm is a different thickness to the left... if anything it should be thiner and moved further to the right of the page... neaten up them lines... use a pen over the top if you want them bolder... simple cloth folds are nice... try adding a bit of shading to the shadowy areas to bring it out more... and try to do something similar with the hair... it seems all mono toned...

[Wash Out]

Nice...

Line work is simple and clean, main colours are quite grey and dull but you spice it up with some colourfull books to ad contrast... very cleanly coloured and shading seems to look like its all in the right place... a simple yet stunning peice of work...

Rhythm-and-Lime responds:

Awww, thank you. ^^ I'm glad I mostly pulled everything off because this was one of my first times coloring with markers. xD

[Stitched-eye Demon]

nicely done

smooth contrasting shading there... very bold and clean, very hard not to smudge with pen :P, also done on lined paper if im not mistaken :)...

not so keen on the twisted face, but after all who am i to judge?... art is art... people either like it or dont... but still... its very nicely done

OzMafioso responds:

Thanks for the kind words :D And you're absolutely correct about the pen, especially with the bold lines, it's easy to transfer ink to other parts of the paper. Almost like a stamp, lol.

Thanks for taking the time to review :)

Perfect!

i take it you used a photo reference here?

the shades, the colours, the lighting the lense blur and the total combination are all hitting the photo realism mark here... totaly outstanding! well done

looking fab

just one thing thats bothering me... does his fingers do that in real life?

[Hunting Bears]

great!

iv seen some of your work and this is just a prime example of it... the tones and colours are very pastel and moddest to the picture giving it an earthy feel while the highlighting on the robot gives it a sence of rusted shine, however i do feel that the angles are out a tad seen as the background is straight on but the robot seems to be viewed from overhead... is it just me?... i really like the smoke/steam and gives it reall depth... nice work and hope to see more in the future...

LaserKarl responds:

Thanks man!

I never thought of the background as seen from a certain angle, i kind of just shaped it up to work good with the robot.

[Sorrow Bleed]

simple and clean

very smooth lines, great linework in all... the shading is very bold (but what else do you get from flash?).. a very bold piece... and the red blood just breaks it up so it stands out more then if it was purply grey tones... however i still think it could have been touched up a bit more... for example... there is lines going into things (her hair and her arm going into her hair) which should really be removed, a small gaps where the shading hasent flood filled all the spaces leaving impuritys... i feel the lack of a even simple background is also bringing the score down on this piece...
