Strange proportions

Well, this piece is certainly built on weird proportions, with the guy';s nose being almost the same size as his pink fluffy bunny-clad feet. I like what you've done with the body hair and the way you've faced in the look of the stubble, with the more visible hairs poking through.

The main thing you can do with this piece is use better quality (sized) tools for the job. Draw the outline very roughly and then zoom in and edit using a thinner brush, so that it looks neater - when you zoom out, you'll really see the results in a very positive way.

You've done a decent attempt at a background, but straight lines are needed for the walls meeting the floors - skirting boards are a way to get a little more detail into this picture for relatively little effort.

When you're doing colouring or shading, please try not to go outside of the lines - this might be helped, by drawing in the colours you wish to use and then doing the outlines last, to tidy everything up?

Teddy

-It looks like i'm a little late to the party and several of the active people in the request club got here and gave their critique-ings before I even thought to start reviewing anything. But alas i'll still do my best to try and mention stuff and help you out on improving in your artistic style.

-Your drawing style has stayed pretty consistent with the simple character style and not too much in the background. It's nice to see something that's just a little simple and not too over the top on detail. Great for a picture in a kid's storybook but missing the actual story written somewhere. Some of the colors are a bit fuzzy and it would be great if you could clear that up in future pieces.

ok sure...also TEEEEDY

Not as good as your last one

I really liked your last one, the sophisticated character, and I do like the style here as well, but I feel this looks a bit more sloppy.

As with your last one, it's colorful and looks childish, not a bad look. This is your style, but with a style like this you can easily end up being sloppy, and making it look less fun, less entertaining.

The backgrounds here are really poor, and filled in differently from the rest of the piece. You need to make sure you're consistent throughout the entire drawing, and not change style halfway through.

You should stick to your style and not try to fill in as much as you do. Using different shades of a colour to fill in the background and in general everything, as you did in the last piece, looks a lot better.

ok thanks i like that better too! everyone tries to change me!

nothing wrong with it...

...but it could use some work

Well lets imagine what it would look like with out color.That looks nice now add the color.hrm we got a little bit of slop.We can tell you tried to blend the colors to make it look more real but you kinda failed.You have potentioal but you need to apply more to your art.Some spots don't even have color.Like around the edges of things it just blends in with the backgrounds color which makes it look like you didn't put much into it.But I can't tell if you used real drawings and scantroned it on to your computer or if you used a paint program to make it.Next time put more effort in to it

Nice, but too sloppy

It's a very "rough" picture just like your "Mr. Monocle" one. This time the colouring is a lot better, but the sketchy feeling is still there. It's okay to draw certain objects a bit sloppy, but I think the wobbly line in the background for the ground/wall doesn't really work. It makes the whole image seem very sloppy and bad.

Also the whole image appears to be in a rather low quality, especially the character in the center of the picture. Could this be because you converted the image to a different format or something?

Anyway, the picture does have potential, I like the character a lot (he looks so grumpy, yet he has a teddy in his arms... very nice detail). But as I've pointed out, there are some major flaws so that I can't give the picture a higher rating.
