  • Hey, before I do anything to your thread, I wanted to give you a chance to add two or more images to your thread. Please read the Art Gallery rules. You can't have a gallery with less than 4 images, so please add some more artwork or I have to move your thread and merge to the "Drawing Display Thread".

  • These are very cute! The Totodile picture is my favorite - he looks very ferocious and I love how you did his eyes and teeth! :D

    As for critique, you seem to have a bit of issues with your anatomy. Shuckle in particular looks fine though the Oran Berry seems to be positioned somewhat oddly; next time, try to round it out at the bottom a bit more since it's more or a circular shape than oval. :3 It kind of looks like it's standing on its side right now or being held up by something since normally it'd fall if it were standing like that. It's a bit confusing on the eyes since your Shuckle is at an angle whereas the berry is not.

    Cyndaquil's body seems a bit long, too. Try to make it a bit smaller and put it at a bit of an angle rather than the body being straight like it is right now. In general, anatomy seems to be your main issue right now so I'd recommend working on that!

    Keep drawing, I'm looking forward to more! All you need is a bit of time and you'll get even better!

    Thankyou! I'm working on my Tablet skills, so hopefully they'll get better! Oh, and Nice artwork :)


    EDIT: I've changed all the links to my deviantART uploads instead, I'm sick of uploading them to photobucket

  • The Banette is my favorite of your newest art, the Shadow Ball orb looks really good! :D You're getting better and better, just keep working on your coloring! It looks a little messy as it is right now but you're definitely improving and I really like how you, for the most part, have a defined light source in your newest images. ^_^ Keep it up!

    Oh, there's a little thing that bothers me which I want to point out: the back of Kingdra's head doesn't seem to connect properly:

    Spoiler:


    Just a quick MS Paint illustration (likely anatomically incorrect when it comes to the placement of the head curve though since it's mainly to help you understand what I'm talking about) of what I mean to help you visualize. :3

    Yeah... I noticed that just as I posted it XD I might correct it, not sure yet! I=

    I'm still working on smoother shading, and I think I need to put more time into it :D

    Thanks for the Feedback!

  • Hi there!
    there are some nice things in your gallery, I really like the old man with a rocketpack. It makes me think of despicable me and it's a nice use of your imagination :')

    For now I'd say that your lines are looking a little messy, but constrained. I think you need to spend more time working on them as part of the image and you perhaps need to experiment with different ways of working them, a single smooth line might not be the best way or mark-making for you.

    good luck and I hope we see you around a bit more!

    Hey! Thanks for the constructive criticism!

    I don't mean to sound stupid but I just wonder exactly what you mean by this? I don't really know any other ways of drawing a line XD Just wondered if you could give me some examples of different ways?


    Thanks!

  • I have a request! Can you try to draw the 3 Jhoto starters In a new style you havent tried before. (It is also advice) I find when I draw in different styles I learn alot about the technique needed to draw different things!
