Description
How do people draw females, I don't get it xD But anyway, Jack's mother. 8DFrom now on, just... murder me with critiques guys, I'M READY. Even if the picture isn't worth it, don't be nice. If there's something bothering you just throw it right in my face, I need this.

I think this a well done piece. I agree with others the hands are anatomically incorrect, but that could probably mean they are stylized. Regardless I get the sense you don't want to draw thumbs. Although I'm not sure what it is, those lips do seem a little thin. I'm not exactly sure what it's called, but that line going across the chest seems too prominent. I personally have no problems with the skin, it seems to fit the color palette. But the gloves should have been a different color, since they blend in with the skin. I love the way the dress is done. I feel the background fits this drawing well. Although I think what makes it look a little weird is because the same light source is not present on the dress. Or at least it doesn't seem that way. While I think the border seems to fit the way the ends of the hair are stylized, it still seems a little out of place. Honestly I don't know anything about Jack or his mother, so I'm unsure if she is a vampire or not. The artwork itself seems like it has a sort of Halloween feel. I also think it would look a little better as a whole if the colors weren't so dull. All in all I like this artwork regardless of whether you make any changes or not.

The one thing I do agree on is that the breast do seem out of place.
I love the small details and the setting gives off an antique, gothic feel (almost like the Adam Family).
I ,personally, love the hands. From my perspective it seemed like the thinness were on purpose to give off a "spidery" look If that was not on purpose, then I assume it was an error or just needs to be worked on. The position seems fine, from what I can tell it seems that she is cross her thumbs over each other under the palms.
Her collar bone seems out of place, too straight and eye popping. Again, in my perspective, it seems that she's a barbie doll and from her collar bones up seem to have been placed there and glued for lack of terms.
With originality, the whole portrait of a young creepy, but beautiful, has been done. I do applaud you for the originality of the hair and bats.

I think you miss the point of Critique...It's not personal opinion but rather a judgement of the skills.
Point 1 ,for example, was clearly hat persons choice as they wanted a more "dark" feel to it.
Point 3 look at your own hands thumbs point TOWARDS the opposing thumb.
The lips where off, yes.

Honestly, overall I think that this piece is superb. I have, however, noticed a few things that bother me. Firstly, the hands. They seem unnatural and anatomically incorrect. I'd suggest working on those. Secondly, the breasts too seem unnatural and out of place. The lines for her cleavage are rigid and stiff, as I said before, they seem unnatural. Sort of like an after thought. Lastly, I am of the opinion that the background doesn't' 'blend' well. To me, it too, looks out of place.
On a lighter note, I think the way her head-piece has been done is absolutely spectacular. Possibly my favorite part of this illustration. The design for her dress is lovely as is her hair.
Moreover, the one thing that bothers me in this picture is the thick black border placed around it. For some reason, it looks unprofessional and clumsy to me. Perhaps a thinner border would work better with the picture?
however, it is a job well-done.

I completely agree. Nai should work on those things (not that i'm better then him/her in any way) but keep in mind that it's peoples special way of doing things that give them there own style.
But a very knowledgeable comment, if where the artist, I would thank you tenfold.

Ok, so here is my critique.
Colors are striking. I have no idea who Jack is, but after I write this I will check it out. I love the muted hues. Her hair is also gorgeous. The structuring of the dress is lovely, and looks period. The pose is prim, and also very period.
One thing, women are more delicate. So, my suggestions, below the cheek bones, narrow the face out a smidge...throw some of that muted red on her face. Another, her shoulders are a bit wide for a woman, so narrow those up a little. As for her bust...her rib cage is wider than the widest section of her bust...might want to address that. So, I hate to say this...make the boobs bigger and the rib cage smaller. Eek! I said that! The other thing, the hand on top, the left (?) is a little awkward looking...maybe give the ring finger a slight bend so it looks more natural, all the other finger placements are very effortless looking.
Over all...gorgeous. I really like it...Victorian and Morbid...just as it should be.

I really like the colors, composition, lighting and idea for this piece. It's macabre, dark, and elegant, who can't appreciate that? The design of the character is interesting and appealing, I particularly like the head piece. Your shading is pleasing, although I might've liked to have seen just a little more high lighted parts on the clothing and hair where the light source is coming in from. I really like how you shaded the hair and clothes though.
With the anatomy, there are some errors. The skull is very large, larger than her face. As for how you drew her features, you did them well, however they look a little stiff and I feel like they should be adjusted and re-placed. Her shoulders are very broad and even though the right one is at an angle, the left should still looks longer. It took me awhile to figure out what I didn't like about the arms but it seems they're bent at too much of an angle, they're too long. If you sit in the same position as her your arms would make a more obtuse angle. I hope that makes sense. The position of the hand is good, but the hands are fairly big, and the fingers long. The hand anatomically speaking should be about as big as the face, the base of the palm to the chin and the tip of the fingers just above the brow.
I would've liked to see the dress skirt drawn a little differently, it looks like she's surrounded by a sheet rather than the cloth being connected to her bodice. Do you see what I'm saying? More creases and bunching up of the fabric rather than just slopes and folds. It's like she's sitting in fabric rather than wearing it.
I really like how the hair looks being carried by the bats. However it doesn't really look as apart of the hair when you look at it. What I mean it its mostly a solid color, rather than being shaded like the hair on her head.

Oh, I forgot to say, you made an excellent use of patterns, textures, and lace. I commend you for not going over board with it which can be an easy thing to do if you're not careful.

I loved the colors that you used, not only they create harmony between them but they also are the right ones for what you wanted to transmit in here. I do also loved the lighting, its perfect and creates the right atmosphere. Other thing i'd like to point out its the wall paper design, along with her clothes, it instantly takes me back to that Victorian time like. The only thing that i find a little odd about her it's her torax area, i dont know if its a visual effect or something but either she has too much back, or too wide shoulders, i also think she has a little too big hands for a woman.
Besides that, it's a great work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

I think you nailed drawing the female form pretty darn well. She's very feminine without being a stereotype of femininity. I'm really liking the hands; they capture the femininity of the figure but also convey a sense of strength and cunning. They are a bit large, proportionately, but I like them. I have to admit I'm not familiar with your work, and I don't know what "Jack's mother" really means, but looking at this completely cold, I get a sense of regal beauty with an undercurrent of conniving coldness. I love the dress, too, and the details of the lace and hair ornament. As far as criticisms, I have two. One is the curl of hair on the chest. It's a bit distracting, and seems at odds with the naturalism of the rest of the figure; it reads as too cartoony. The other is that the nose seems weirdly small and high. Again, it takes away from the otherwise natural ease of the image. However, I really like the way the hair is suspended, becoming part of the surrounding. The wallpaper is a nice touch, as are the little bats, which add a bit of whimsy to the picture. Overall, I think it's a nice job. I like the conservative color palette because it makes the vivid red pop all the more.

I love the colors and the atmosphere and overall technique with the positioning, drawing, and the coloring. The only things I have critique for is the woman's body. So for a super feminine body/design structure and size is very important. This woman is a bit masculine and since the artist has said already they are having trouble with that I'm just gonna say it they just drew the woman how they normally draw men. I can also only draw women, so my men usually turn out very girly. In details, the male and female figures are very different. As someone who draws girls a lot I can give a little advice on it. A woman is more slender, rounded, and usually smaller in many areas. Her hands should be smaller, about the size that her face would be with her fingers spread out. The shoulders are smaller, as in closer to the body. Your girl though would be a great swimmer. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

I completely agree with this - but also it sort of seems like the right breast is smaller than the left

A very skilled and captivating drawing. The colours are perfectly matched and work together to create an eeire impact on the person. The use of black makes the image sharper to look at and is very well designed to give the person a reason to study it (if that's the right word). The only thing that bothers me is her chest. They're too...firm. If that's the right word I don't know but that is the one thing that annoys me about this. I can't find anything else to be picky about. But this is a fantistic peice of artwork and I look forward to seeing more of this character in the future.

Well, I was going to make the same point as the two who commented above me

I'd say the same as halloween with the corset thing. That style of dress was generally designed to push the breasts up and make them appear firm. Saw lots of that in Amadeus =w=;

i agree with this critique for the most part ^^ although it looks like she is wearing some sort of corset/basque and therefore her breasts would look firm.
i really cant see anything to crit you on naimane xD awesome artwork!<3

I think she's beautiful,i don't know why but when i saw this it gave me a chill x9.I right the oposite; i can't draw males they look like girls, or that's what people says -_-;.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Why is it so hard to be able to draw both genders geez D:
š: 0 ā©: 1
x9 right. Maybe you have too many male characters, and you're not used to draw girls. I just say, i don't really know x9. That is what happens to me.
