DevilRat's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Endless]

Very interesting artwork, I will say... I know a way you can improve your color would by creating doing inking layers vs. coloring. Putting the ink layers on a separate over the traditional scan. As it seems to not have the full clarity of an originally digital artwork, and it kind of shows. When it comes to color choices, try to divide your cool and warms or to get away with mixing both, try using neutralized colors... When you are shading, shift the hue towards a cooler or warmer, depending on the feeling. Then again try to make your values easier to read and understand. Like on the green lady. When illustrating to digital, learn to sacrifice a few details as most people view it zoomed out, not in. This is why paintings are the way they are.... But I do like the details like the dragon flies. When it comes to visual flow, try to have a direction like use your main character as a focal point, but gradually go towards right, as it would help, but neat to look at. Try changing the thickness of the lines in the drawing to help with this art. Though I wonder what it looks like outside of digital coloring as the pencil illustration. As I can tell you are advanced with lines, but still learning color and value... Then again I recommend trying to study more and experiment more in digital art.

As digital and traditional are different mediums. To help in between it is using a drawing tablet. I hope this was useful for you... I want to see you improve, but in your catalog.

I noticed your line art is your strongest asset. Just lighten your lines with some color or not straight up black, but dark grey.... These are tips I did from experimentation of my art and also learn color theory. Don't trust the color picker, but your gut and eyes with color.

To help with color, introduce it in a very muted form, but don't go warm or cool until you know you want it cool or warm.

I do a lot of traditional art and I've only begin to branch out to digital and i just started to digitally paint some of my trad. scans such as this one. That program i have ability to me to Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 and only a couple of days ago I got infinite painter on my phone. Recently I did get a XP-Pen tablet but its going to take a lot of getting use to because I have to look at my computer screen and not the tablet it self, so a lot of eye-hand coordination.
I thank you for your detailed review as I can only get better. I will keep in mind and try out the grays with my black lines.
Thanks!

More refined than usual, but it's like McDonalds, I am loving it!

CowFz responds:

Cute as ever. I always get a laugh out of your facial expressions like what is on luigi. Is questioning if he should pound or not, or bring his hose or not.

Hanshyn responds:

Poor Luigi deserves more love

Seeing some some dramatic improvements in your coloring. Nice improvements. Try to experiment with colored outlines. Try to back off with the airbrushed shading. That's one thing that will dramatically improve your work. I like this photo some. I am not sure which program you are using, but try to improve anatomy like me. I hope I do not come off harsh, but I do enjoy this work. My favourite part was the hat, being a really well down shape. Just try not to pet the line by doubling them, to fix this issue, use more than two layers for your line art.

Nana responds:

I’ll try with the outline . Pretty much since I did this last minute before Christmas Day . Thanks anyways

[Player Girl, Breasts]

I rated your work. Try learning to draw right and left eyes, but wonder more and more about her design. Though I see great potential in you. Try more and more poses like I did to improve.

BaDLineR responds:

thanks, im working on a surprised look

[(Horrifying) Sonic The Hedgehog, (2020).]

Excellent

[Scuffle]

Underrated.

[Mountains]

Recommend using hard edge brushes not soft air brush, try to lower your horizon line and put both sides having a sense of direction. Sharpen it please?

Kdenye responds:

This was done in a pretty short time so it doesn't look pretty good. But thanks for the criticism
