WizardlyWalrusKing's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lady]

welcome to the world of digital, my dude! c:
It's hard to get used to the hand-eye coordination, but just keep finishing pieces from start to finish on it and you'll get it eventually!

For this piece, I think the first thing I noticed is you appear to have clashing perspectives. for the city you should have been referencing two vanishing points. These two vanishing points would be placed on the horizon of the piece with one towards the right and one towards the left. These vanishing points should be NO LESS than a 90 degree angle apart from the viewer of this picture (not the woman, me, viewing this piece).

Moving onto this woman You really gotta study humans to get them down. They are complex as fuck and I study them everyday and still fail to impress myself with my work.

Things to look into:
3D SHAPES
PERPECTIVE
CONSTRUCTION OF OBJECTS USING 3D SHAPES
PROPORTIONS
GESTURE

I'm drunk atm, if you have any other questions, feel free to DM me.

ClarkTaylor responds:

Hi,

thaks for your constructiv criticism! I've tried to learn and relearn many of the things you pointed out. Maybe I did a better job in my new painting?

so most stuff is looking good here.
hands are pretty decent, good proportions, boobs look like they are bulging due to the clothes and table....

however... your shading style needs work. It looks like it was airbrushed. I would suggest looking into either: cel shading OR blending techniques.

KDuzellz responds:

Thanks for the feedback and I will definitely go look at shading techniques.

[Butt salt]

I'm gumming, I'm gumming!

[Fanart for kill la Kill]

One thing I will say is your shading style is very very good. It's interesting and hides a lot of your flaws. now it's time for you to fix those flaws.
but holy shit.
you literally used a straight line for her legs, no no no no no no no no no no no.
her left boob just kind of floats above her chest when it should hook up to the left armpit which is apparently way off to the back.
You need to work on several things:
mainly:
proportions, facial expressions, anatomy, and gesture.

[Fembot Palutena]

You should really try different poses.
You'll develop so much better than just doing these forward-facing head-forward poses over and over again. Theres only so much you can do and learn from a pose like this.

SuperTechno324 responds:

Thanks for the advice. Admittedly, I've been wanting to try more poses, but, I can't get them to look right. ;^^

[Deb TurnBull]

Okay... your shading looks like it was done with an airbrush, don't do that.
Also your shadows should have a slight change on the hue wheel.
The anatomy on her ass is incorrect in this pose, be sure to study references, the glutes aren't two ovals, they are far more complex.
Her expression is kind of lacking. Possibly because of how you mapped the features onto the face. Kinda has a zombie-like face.

Also don't use a blue background like that, it really hurts my fucking eyes. Like holy shit, that blue reminds me of html websites back in the 90s

[The butt stool]

I do like the fluidity of the pose but she kind of looks like a cyclops

insanetoons responds:

Thanks, and i understand it may seem that way, i could have made a clearer separation.

[[C] Bessi The Bat]

I feel like her eyes are a bit lifeless. I have this problem too in some of my pieces, and I don't know why, it just looks like it.

GreendayFox responds:

It might be because of where I put the eyes but I see what you mean. I really appreciate the feedback! :3

[Feelin' Good]

Out of your entire gallery this is your worst. Yet, it is still incredible. Nice work, I love this too!

JesterDK responds:

Intrigue! In some ways, I like this pic more than a lot of stuff I've drawn. And in other ways, less. It's definitely different. And I do feel like it's outside of a lot of peoples' interests in general, too, but it was just a random thing I wanted to make in a different way, so it's fine if it's not AwesomeFlavor. Hahaha

Just out of curiosity, though, do you think this is notably worse because of the style it's done in/it's overall look, or because it doesn't look like the chara maybe? Or something else?
It's fine if you don't have a ready answer or anything, too, if that's the case! I just think it can be interesting to hear what people do and don't prefer in stuff that gets posted sometimes, too.

[Nanobeer]

This is very good. Though the foreshortening does seem a bit off, I know exactly what is going on. Her left arm seems the most offputting to me
