@-Howl-
heheh- okay, but your not gonna hurt my feelings!!

thank you-
-^w^-
i've been considering trying anime-ish styles more- and i do have a few drawings that resemble it- but idk
i'm not very good at it

@-Howl- oh yeah, i've been trying to draw more poses resently, but it's kinda hard to find poses to draw....

@-Howl- okaii thx!!!

->w<- if people don't start roasting me i'ma start tagging people

@-Howl- yeeah but there ARE some pretty hateful people out there that can roast ANYONE
->w<-
i don't think it'd be that hard too, all i gotta do is wait

and if not roast, then critique!!
->w<-
it's 100% remixable and 100% possible

@-Howl- thank you---
:heartbeat: :heart_decoration:
anything helps...

i'ma tag more people cause this picturess been liked three times and they all ignored the need -TwT-

alrighty.. everyone of my followers are about to be tagged, the older ones know that this is actully quite normal,
though i've never tagged you all in one of my own postes, you can choose to ignore this, i don't ask for likes, i only request that you critique/roast,
please and thank youuuu

@Omega_Loves_To_Wave aww thank you-

@-Vampy_Chan- thank you!! i have been looking for tutorials, i've found a few- but do yk of any in particular?

@Evergreen_Immortal yes thank you,
-^w^-
i'll try to implement those!!
now that you mention it- i see it now.. heheh *cringes*

How can I roast someone THAT dedicated to being roasted?! Your hands must be gone after typing that much!

@MaggieSue327 lol! yw! :D

@BerryChan_
weeeeelll- i mean....
every artist always thinks others are better then them, so ig that's *forgets the word*
*i was JUST thinking abt iiiit
i'm sorry
i'll let yk if i remember it

(the world is like the theme to avatar the last airbender "when the world needed him the most- he vanished"
lol )

@Wind_Waker, weeell- it's just a drawing i grabbed from my gallery- it's actually a repost... but thank you??
also, yes- they kinda are- my brain hurts more tho, most of the user names are complicated.. using 1's instead of i, or including a -_ before the text,
->w<-

@Wind_Waker oops you said some one- like i said, my brain hurts,
uh- i just REALLY wanna inprove my art- it the same as when i started, the only real difference is would be the colors bc when i started i hadn't done any digital art, so i needed to learn that sorta stuff

you've improved so much!!! i liked seeing your art evolve!!!! /vvvvvvvvpos /vvvvvvvvvvvvvvgen

@-Vampy_Chan- thank you, i will look into it!!

@sleepystrutter
thank you, i don't see it tho

hi! maybe try having one main light source so the shadows look more natural :D <3

oki!

hi

your art is good why would i roast it?

@zeroeatschicken14 oh that's a good idea!!
thank you!!

@c00l_arts0 hello!! how are you??

@Blameflame bc i want you too -TwT-
thank you,
maybe- maybe picking my followers to roast my art was not the best option, since cleary you all like my art, otherwise you wouldn't have followed me lol -^w^-

I think your art is really nice though. . :'0

the only thing I recommend is practice, and experiment. :'D

@PoodleKingdom thank you!!
-^w^- i'm practicing rn actually,
it's very good advice

IT'S REALLY PRETTY OMG
THE LINEART
THE EXPRESSION
I REALLY LOVE ITT

oh shoot only critiques okay

@Kurumiiii -////-
uh- thank you -TwT-
:blush: :blush: :blush:

uhh
My only thing is to make an appealing backround,
That's what really completes the painting

Sorry I can't roast amazing art.

@Kurumiiii agreed, i just never know what to do w/them, any ideas??

@-_Lunar_-
eh-heheh, thank you,
any tips then?
your arts really good- anything i can add/take away to/from mine

@MaggieSue327 Um I'm not really great with tips, but you're art is beautiful! All I can do is compliment it! :smiling:

Uhmmers
Maybe like a classroom?

pretty good

@-_Lunar_- i see, thank you anyway!! also- your comment on the last post was very sweet,

@Kurumiiii perhaps,
yes- since he's in a school, it would make sense!! -^w^-

@c00l_arts0 that's good, i'm glad!!

*pops most of my joints*

Get ready >:)

Sounds good!!
Good luck!!

@Unaone -TwT- how many joints are you popping??

AAAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOO I DON'T LIKE ROASTING ART OR CRITIQUING IT T^T

MY OWN IS TRASH-
DON'T MAKE ME-

@CrystallizedDusk it's fine if you don't wanna, but i'd appreciate if you do have any tips you might have,

@CrystallizedDusk 'because your art is still much better then mine,
and the colors are alway *chefs kiss*

NOOOOOO IT'S REALLY NOT-

I do have one though! STARE AT THINGS. Cat anatomy? Stare at one. Hands? Stare at one and map out the shapes with circles, squares, etc. At least, that usually helps me-

@CrystallizedDusk study them??
yeah -TwT- ik, i've been working at that, it's not great though

@MaggieSue327
I see nothing wrong with this!
... except one personal preference, but that's just me. I think its perfect!!!

u should watch some samdoesart videos

Basically TwTd

hmm

this is more of a personal preference than a critique, but you might wanna use more saturated colors

i'm on 3ds rn i'll go ahead and brutally murder your art when i'm on my switch :)

oh
another guy u should watch is DrawLikeASir!
Ive been watching his videos lately n have been helping me alot
I think he'll help u too!!

@Ms_Teatea99 can you tell me?? it might be helpful -^w^-

@Unaone lol noted ->w<-

@-Ames- okaii!!
i believe i've seen him around, i'll look into it!!
thank you

His mouth looks gouffy like goofy himself

I would just make the neck a tad bit smaller @MaggieSue327

hmmm ur art is really good(/p0s /gen) and my art definitely isn't as good, but if i were u i would lower the mouth a little more/vlh

@kikuoenjoyerrr noted!! thank you

It said I was summoned again, but i don't see where :/

@Wind_Waker oh yeah lol, i've been chating with people all day, it's there give me a sec and i'll tell you exactly

oh shoot, the comment was deleted... that's weird i thought the limit was 500.... but rn it's only at 90...

what----

I was summoned, but I don't see where (´¬`'

Also my alt. account was summoned as well?

@jamies_ratz
@heroine-of-winds
Yeaaah
I tagged all my followers and asked if they could critique/roast my art... unfortunately you can't see that .message bc it was deleted, typically it wouldn't delete conversations until they passed 500 comments, but as you can probably guess, there were a lot of names, so a lot of storage was taken up,
If that makes sense

Yeah, np! I'll roast this :smiling_imp: /j
Nah, seriously tho, I don't mind to critique! :thumbsup: :heart:

And yeah, it's frustrating when comments do that :/

(this is a lie yk tho)

ur art looks disgusting, it smells bad, and it belongs into the bin

His face looks like he has seen something so embrassing
but I don't think it's bad I like your colors

also his clothes look super stiff like he left it outside in the snow in -50 degree weather
(I am guilty of stiff clothes I'm just saying)

nope

Honestly, there's not too much room for improvement to your art style.
Aside from fine tuning things like detail, color saturation, poses, etc.., the only thing I could think of would be to try your hand at things you haven't done yet. Branching out and trying new things will help you learn ways you can apply new elements to your own way of doing things.

@Heroine-of-Winds
you don't hafta worry about hurting me hun,

@Honey_Stars
yeah- in the original he's supposed to look embarrassed

and that you, do you have any tips for drawing clothes??

@The_Adjudicator
lol i missed the 'not' it the first sentence... i almost passed out lol/jk

thank you, i will look into new things to draw for sure, i'm positive that the requests i've received will inclued some new stuff to draw

its so good id eat it- so idk how to roast smth amazing! <3

@Sugar-Sweets thank you!! you're so sweet!!

Heyyy, sorry for being late to the party! I'm still laughing at how many names you wrote, haha! XD

It's okay, though. I'm more than happy to help!

Now, bear in mind that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and everything I'm about to say is subject to my own opinion, sooo...take it with a grain of salt.

But! One thing I'd like to see more from you is the use of brighter/more saturated colors. A lot of your colors look washed out, especially when looking at the shading and lighting. Almost like you took white/black and erased it until it "blended in" with whatever color you were using it on. BUT THAT'S NOT HOW SHADING WORKS! If you used brighter colors, I think it'd be easier for you to understand why. Because the contrast beween light and dark would be so much more apparent.

Now, there are times when you can use white and black to highlight/shade certain areas of art, but only when cell shading, and only in cartoons/anime. I've never seen it look good/natural in realism.

cont.

What you wanna do instead is, use a darker of lighter shade of color to shade/highlight. You can use the same color, or you can go left or right on the color wheel. You can also go left or right on the gradient in a diagonal line. Don't stray too far, though, or else it will be harder to blend, and generally won't look as appealing.

I could go on, but I should probably stop here, so I don't overwhelm you.

The bottom line is, do you like your art? If so, then there's nothing to fix. If not, then start thinking of ways to make it better. Start with small changes, and gradually work your way into bigger changes. See what works and what doesn't work. Don't be afraid to experiment. And most importantly: always ask yourself why. "Why does this look good? Why doesn't this look good? What can I do to make my art look like THAT?" Questions like that are what help an artist grow and understand the world around them.

@Mewsea
thank you!! i've realized my shading isn't what it could/should be,
i 'm grateful for the tips! i will certainly implement them into my art A S A P

-^w^-
also, thank you for taking you're time to type all that up!!

have a lovely day

@Elliotheartsyou i tagged all my followers and asked them to critique my art,
unfortunately- the comment was deleted because of how long it was,

@MaggieSue327 you tagged me in this pic?

@_K-u-r-o-k-o_ yees-
i did,
the comment was deleted, if you'd like to know why- i explained it one of the times above,

but i asked all my followers to critique my art

oh ok lol im sorry, ive been busy w/ drama and stuff at home please forgive me

@_K-u-r-o-k-o_ oh no you're fiine-
i'm just tired rn, and why type it all up again if you can just look at my last comments

ok

ummmm My best tip for clothes is to get an art book like a how to draw book
I personlly use a book called chibi art class
in there it has loads of clothing references and I think it's helped me not make my clothes look duper stiff

It's still hard for me to make clothes seem flowy and idk but I recommend that art book or if you can't get an art book there is loads of helpful tips on youtube and colors

Also one more thing

Your shadows seem to be in sorta random places it sorta kinda does not make sense
You can fix this by looking at refernce or knowing where your light source is coming from

Oh somthing else
Don't Ever Compare Your Art

I know it may seem silly but this caused me as an artist to be less confident in my abilitys because I thought looking at others that I could never reach that goal
and that's something I still struggle with

So again remeber comparing yourself and your works to others artists is not something you should do
your on your own artistic journey
it does'nt mtter if you can barely draw a hand/foot your on your own journery go at your pace

I know this is a lot but one more

BRANCH OUT

try new things ,new poses, perspectives ,try doing braided hair, or next time try a crying face, do something new.

I feel like once you start trying new thins your able to see the issues what you struggle with and how you can improve it

hey maggie thanks for tagging me! but i'm sorry you had to write all that tho ;o; also i'm sorry but i can't roast your art cause i really like it!!<3 obviously we all have room for improvement but i think yours is very solid even now
the only thing i thought to suggest is: i noticed (since i used to do it too and also i see many people do it) that when you draw 3/4 view heads like here you kinda tend to draw the further-away eye a bit smaller and i think that (in general) the eyes look better when they're pretty much the same size (but in more extreme 3/4 views i maintain the height of the eyes the same and i reduce the width of the 2nd). so i'd recommend to keep that in mind! and leaving more space for the further-away eye!
and also i would personally draw the nose a bit lower! but that's just a art style preference i have, the way you draw it makes your artstyle even more recognizable :3
(btw i love ur coloring here <3 it's rly soft i love it)

Keep practicing! Milage will help out most when you know what you need to improve! :thumbsup:

Okay, so somthing that has always bothered me about your art since we were little was the way you have like, 'scratchy' line art, the tip i can give you as i othink you've gotten better at drawing online then i am right now, is to be a little more comfident in your lines, if you look closely your lines aren't one big line and rather look like many little lines. honestly, if you had asked me about a year ago i would have been able to critique every little thing that you used to d in your art that were rooky, but now you've improved so so so much. [duck]

:duck: *

I have new criticism but i dont know how to explain it. also i dont feel i have a skill level enough any more (especially on here, because to be honest, your better at digital art and I'm better* at traditional art.) to boss you around on how to draw.

@Waffles09 ah i see -
thank you for your critique, i appreciate it!

(is it ok if i don't mean it?)

@puppyunity64 ofc!!
-^w^-
i'm kinda suprised peeps are still seeing this lol

@BLuE666 his head as well- the way his jaw bends 'cringes'

@MaggieSue327 PHHFT- nah i dont see a problem, he just gots a big chin :y

@BLuE666 his mouth is off too ig,
that's another thing mouths are so awkward

@MaggieSue327 he's kinda doing tht ">_<" face where its like "BRACE YOURSELF!!" for something. gotta brace yourself for criticism

@BLuE666 lol
that does fit!!
in-story his dad is a teacher and tends to embarrass him a lot-
i think the original picture explained it, but i don't remember

@MaggieSue327 i feel bad for kids who have teachers as their parents, especially if they suck at a certain subject- its even worse if that subject is what the parent teaches :')

@BLuE666 ahh yes- Kayden is very bad at the subject his dad teaches, it brings us to great story

@MaggieSue327 sit-com material

@BLuE666 lol
100%

@greystripe-L_THERIAN this one, it's a remixable critique painting, but if you remove the writing, you can see the drawing clearer
his names Kayden, if you click on the previous drawing, it'll give you more information

Ok! ^^

@-zyik-
i just realized that the link to the original isn't there, which is weird bc it's a repost-
is that supposed to be that way?
