Hello! I'm from ProjectComment's Gallery at a Glance.
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths:
The most apparent thing for me is your anatomy! You’ve obviously gotten it down (assuming that the muscles are a stylistic thing). You’re also very good at using the colours given to you, and the motion in your Avatar series adds a whole lot to them.
Weaknesses:
I think your art could benefit a lot if you used different colours as shadows and highlights. I’ve noticed that you almost exclusively use different shades of a base colour for shadows, and it makes it look a little flat. Using dark blues and purples instead of black helps a lot!
The other thing I noticed is, to put it bluntly, breasts. Personally it annoys me when I see artists emphasizing boobs and butts so much, but aside from that I can see that you’re mistakenly drawing them like perfect spheres. Think of them like water balloons that are attached to the chest next to the armpits.
Is there something that you feel that I'm not managing to improve over the pieces?
Aside from the things I’ve listed above, I also think that your facial expressions aren’t as good (neither are mine, but I’m pointing it out anyway). Aside from your Ace Attorney drawing, they’re just the same smile - for example, all your Yu-Gi-Oh and Avatar drawings. Even the tiniest muscle can change the mood of a “blank” face, so I hope you can look into that.
And is there something that I really improved over the pieces?
I can definitely see a change in your shading, hair especially. It’s gotten better but also makes your humans look like they’re made of plastic, which is something that I have mixed feelings about. I can also see that you’ve started messing with background/outside light, which I’m too lazy to do, so that’s good!
What can I do to start to construct an interesting gallery?
I know the galleries that I like the most have some sort of consistent subject or style between their drawings (again something that I don’t have either). I also understand that you’re a fanart person, but it’d be nice to see some pieces that convey something, or at least get your viewers to feel something other than “oh, I love x show!”
The boobs are a part that I really struggle sometimes... even thow I know how they are supposed to be, they end up like perfect spheres without even noticing. And I didn't thought that my faces were looking like the same, but you're like the third person that says it so I'm definetely looking into that.
!What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Your strengths are definitely your colors and your shading. They work very well together, and everything looks very 3-dimensional, especially in your more recent art. You improve SUPER fast! The difference between your first "Girl Portrait" to your most recent is shocking, especially considering they're only a couple moths apart! Your style seems very similar to the Youtuber KNKL, which is a good thing! The poses you draw the characters in are, for the most part, not stiff looking. Your weaknesses I feel are mostly that, in some of your drawings, the combination of a more realistic body with a more stylized face is a bit odd. Your perspective and foreshortening have improved, but it still feels off sometimes.
Is there something that you feel that I'm not managing to improve over the pieces?
Nothing particularly jumps out to me as something that hasn't improved over your pieces. You've improved everything exponentially, and so quickly, too!
Is there something that I really improved over the pieces?
Colors, shading, perspective, foreshortening... Everything, really!
What can I do to start to construct an interesting gallery?
I suppose you could add a bit more variety to the things you draw. Mostly, you draw fanart (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) that consists of a character in the center. The variety of poses makes them interesting, but it'd be nice to see more drawings like your most recent Yu-Gi-Oh one. Also,it'd be cool to see more original art - as in non-fanart art.
