Originality

Impact


Hiya,I will do my best. Great image:kudos on colors light in value+ warm tones for a friendly forest. Markers are hard to adjust, but only the beast hand shading need help: as 2nd main action focal point beside the hero's head (1st focal pt); It lessens your pic. gradually transition smooth shade it like the hero hair, bottom palm lightest to red deep top,dull down inner finger shadows: they kill the deep red claw tips impact. test on scrap paper 1st! next time,If you want, try technique complementary colors as shadows, exp: grey green over red. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

So basically if this is the style for the series (same color shadows as main color), then you'd want to keep doing red on red. if not, it may look red but the original creator mix a pale green over red dark areas when they could make the red marker any darker. add the opposite of any color on the color wheel gives better shadows. straight black shadows are bad. Kudos using the black as a prop color on the beast and as a line color. so the Beast Hand try the next pale grey green at palm base and shade it up to the red on the palm and it will make a dark looking hand and a distant receding look to the back of arm and a pop forward look the the claws. kinda like how aerial perspective works for grays dull light green and blues on far away land, you can use on distant characters too. And especially on large characters. Also remove the Red mushrooms from under his beast hand or darken them with shading green over the red to mix color. they look like part of his arm rather that scenery. Sometimes you need to edit based on your needs. if mushrooms are going to make a prob there its easy to not draw or erase pencil mushrooms just over there= asymmetrical is more interesting anyway : 1 mushroom under this tree, 7 under that; things got different grow spans and don't come up at same time; so it's okay to remove or replace (even put the blue plants there). So color placement should help. I'm getting back into the art swing myself but if you need a color example my best is the rabbit. orange vs blue. grass is usually yellow or brown or green, but I wanted impact and balance, fiery colors vs cool tone base, orange majority vs blue majority, supernatural animal vs supernatural land. VS or more like complement. Anyway if you ever stuck with limited colors red to deep red but not anyway deeper; use the complement and shade over top the red to get a new red tone. or for lightening beyond the lightest red, use the actual light source color as the color closest to light on the object to be shaded and transition shade up to main color. just use a weak gray-tone or pale color for convey far away or the far end on an object. Okay Hope all that helps e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>. Shadow and light, color shadows, shade 1 diff color up the the next main color wanted, mix 2 to get new deep color. fade out for depth not only for land but characters. Rim light is bounce light for 2nd source lighting, weakly lighting behind and between shadow and outline, if you get a image with 2nd light or reflective stuff. Its what you did with your tree trunks, Nice touches e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>. I dont know the show so I cant mark on originality like if this is a remark of comic panel. if not awesome compile mood scene. Still nice marker work .

Hey man I really liked your critique. Would you mind critiquing my other color spreads, I always enjoy reading other peopple's perspective so that I can improve. Also I've uploaded new SCANNED versions of the color spreads, they look much better.

WOW thanks for your critique!! Very deep insights on areas that need improvement. I have a long way to go, but my goal is that number 100 color spread is 100 times better than the first! Feel free to critique my future color spreads, your ideas were great!

I'm glad you still upload do dA. I'm more in the habit of checking Instagram now, but the dA uploads do your spreads so much more justice. 

Whenever I see you draw this game, I want to go get a PS3. I played the demo when it was new, and it totally blew me away.
