Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


First of all, I would like to say how much I love how the colors of the eyes and the hair go together! I am a really big fan of bright, almost clashing colors. These colors definitely pop, but is not too much on the eyes.

I also like the style of this picture. I don't really know how to explain it. Kind of like a paint like style, that looks sloppy, but a good kind of sloppy. A sloppy that makes the picture even better. If this was in a different style, the picture would be completely different.

I also like the background. I really love busy pictures, but sometimes just a plain background really makes the picture. It does not distract you from all the great qualities of this work.

She has a name now I really like it, it's pretty and really seems to fit her. I never really asked before, but what's up with her eyes? They're really cool, but my curiousity over them has really started to bug me now XD

Very well done piece, I like how all of the colors look, they all compliment each other very well.

Thanks, I only made them look all weird cause I thought it looked cool. Maybe she has some crazy, amazing visual powers, maybe she's an alien zombie robot, who knows.. I really haven't written much about the character so I don't yet know.. :V

It's definitely cool looking, the two lines by each eye look kind of like scars, I was thinking she got injured there or something and it either did something to her eyes or like they're magical implants to replace dead eyes or something But yeah, they're really cool looking eyes

so much jelly for how you draw the human face.
I really need to work on my process, I have a bad habit of not being loose enough in how I add in shading...


But I really like your style, I'm surprised you don't have lots more followers

heh, thanks ^^

Try working on specific things at a time, set a goal for yourself to let's say really focus on one thing like the colors or the edge work, and really work on making those better than you ever have before. Find reference, find artists that inspire you, and don't be afraid to spend infinite hours on things. Speed will come naturally and it's not really anything you should be worrying about.

Also, I'd highly suggest taking drawing classes if you can find a good place. It will really teach you things like perspective, form, lighting, composition etc. It'd also give you extra motivation to study on things. The problem is that they are always expensive as hell, but if that's not a problem do itttt.

hmmm, The local community college might have something.

But ya, your right. A class with a teacher breathing down my neck to keep working would help keep me motivated for sure xD
Well if your up at anytime when I stream and kind of bored, I would really appreciate a good artist in there giving me some good directions on how draw better.

Umm... that is.. if you want to

so I was looking at this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPY7d2… and I thought, this is makes sense.. Each time I've improved was while trying to achieve a result matching the quality of some master, of course I have failed every time, but it's still improvement. So maybe that would work for you, try and find a piece you really like, and force yourself to draw until your work's quality matches that of that piece. For instance look at assasinmonkey's work or someone better than him, look at their work in progress things and match the quality of each of those steps in your own drawing.

As for humans, artists.pixelovely.com/practic… is what you need to get started.. as well as www.youtube.com/watch?v=74HR59… and www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j39Nq… .. ^^

I feel like I'm giving you lots of inconsistent advice.. You can try and make sense of it yourself.. :V

oh yay!
more youtube vids I can watch. I always like learning more by talking and watching then just reading. I absorb it so much better.

and I'll just uncheck deleting this so I can keep trying to decipher it when I have more mental energy xD
