Urchin was aton of fun to draw! :tried to do some realistic shadows to. I've allways wanted to draw a nice looking fall/orangish picture! I've been drawing way to much snow lately! Hope you enjoy it Ookami-Rei!

I defiantly love the fun colors and movement throughout this piece! It completely reminds me of Autumn trees, lots of warm colors. I'll have to say - the hind legs are positioned oddly. I would have maybe expected the legs to be more bent? Bent or positioned so that it looks as if the legs are facing the opposite of how you're posing the hind legs now. So, behind, I guess. xD The expressions and colors overall are really nice an appealing! Awesome job! =]

Hi! I'm here for #PokemonDaily to critique your work!

I will start off by saying I very much enjoy your color choices. There is a very nice mixture of warms and cools is relatively well balanced, though the blues and greens get a bit heavy on the lotad. It's a really minor detail, but I think if you maybe lightened its colors just a bit to match the other shades, your eye might not be drawn right to him.

There is a lot of motion within your piece, which I do like a lot! I think it was previously stated, however, that the zigzagoon's pose is a bit TOO exaggerated. It's a pretty challenging angle you're trying to portray, so I think some more work could be placed in getting that to look more like she's jumping forward and not being lifted by her tail.

The style of painterly strokes within the characters and background mixing in with the light line art are very charming. I really, really like the leaves in the foreground. I think that's one of the overall stronger parts of this particular drawing.

Finally, I find your light source to be a bit overbearing. Your shadows and highlights are wonderful, but the sun glaring directly into that corner does bother me a bit. I think if you possibly add more leaves on that tree in the right corner so that the sun peeks in (like you did at other points), it would benefit the scene entirely!

I'm sorry this is so long, but I hope it helped you! I think you've got a lot going for this piece and I enjoyed critiquing it. <:

Hey there! I saw you wanted a crituqe!

While this is a VERY nice picture and it's FULL of color. Urchin looks like his back is broken.

That body movment isn't very realistic. That one other leg showing ruined it for me. I'm NOT trying to be mean! ;A;

But what I mean is if you made the body scrunch up a little more so the right leg was hidden then it would look more like she's running. The body doesn't fit in with the picture that much because of this.

It kinda looks like she's throwing her body to the side to me. I hope this was okey. I'm not THAT good at this.

Oohhh I see what Your saying! heh sadly I was so focused on color harmony for such a long time, my actual construction kind of fell short...

Thank you so much for even taking the time to look at this! I appreciate it so much! I'm going to focus more on this problem area now Thanks again!

This is like...fantastic.
I'm sorry I took like 10 days to finally comment on this.

ThE COLOURS.
THE COLOURS ARE SO VIBRANT AND WONDERFUL AND HOMGOODNESSLY WARM AND LIVELY AND FULL OF JOY!
I adore, adore ADORE, your use of colours. Just...wow... I could stare at this all day and let let your colours lead my eyes around and around and around. It's eye-candy. But not overwhelmingly sweet.
Warm, and joyous and just right.
I really love your sense of perspective too. This angle of yours really brings a greater depth of dynamism.
And the expression on Urchin's and Kaps' faces are just priceless. XD
I love how you paid attention to the fact that Kaps' lilypad contains Mystic Water. I was really pleased with that.

Thank you for this. ^^

ForrellianLight [2012-02-10 01:22:45 +0000 UTC]

Your colors are absolutely fantastic, with the way that it plays off of the bark on the trees, the leaves, and the Zigzagoon's eyes! Even the lines against that sun look great! All that I can say in a half-attempt to critique is that the Zigzagoon's hind-legs look a little bit odd when comparing it to the perspective, and I think maybe the light could add a bit more of an effect on the water getting splashed up from the Lotad's head?

Then again, I suck at critiquing, and what I probably said is a load of rubbish ;u;

Either way, this is marvelous!

Hmm I can see you point! Still messing around with the effects one can do with light! Water is a personal weekness at the moment but thanks again for your imput! One can always improve with perspective

Thank you !!
