who really cares what it is, you can critique it none-the-le- what the hell IS that?

Let see, the main problem I can see is that it's way, way too sketchy for something that's tried to be in the "epic" line. Everything, I can see the individual scribbles and how you've managed to pass it off, and it hasn't worked. I'd advise trying to put more effort (ie doing it carefully, trying to simulate the shapes instead of the lines) into your lineart and cleaning it up.

The other thing that seems out of place is the words - they don't seem to fit in, period, and I doubt you could pass them off anyhow - they don't really fit ion with the visual medium. I'd say to get rid of them.

Dark soul

Need some criticism.

I feel that color would help your cause. I get the whole "why do words hurt" thing and I love that, but, having so many words on the page distract me from figuring out what is in the middle, the focus of the drawing. By coloring in certain things and removing some of the "WORDS", you'll find a more clean, attractive piece of work. Nice eagle too.

Response to Need some criticism. 2010-09-14 14:19:04


alright thanks for the advice :D I'm actually working on a better version of "Why do words hurt" :)

Thank you :) Here's another picture of darkness ^^

Response to Need some criticism. 2010-09-15 00:52:44


I feel like this picture would be better drawn. I understand that hands are really hard to do but you seem to be able to handle that well. My main concern with this one is the blackness that the person is holding. I think it's a liquid but it doesn't seem like it. It feels thick. I know that's kind of hard to understand but liquids flow. It is possible to flow with a computer but I think if you sketched it out first, you could better grasp how to make it seem like it's flowing. Possibly watch some commercials on youtube of facial cleansers, they tend to have water flowing through hands. I really like this and I think a painting of it would be cool. I think you'll be able to make some pretty extraordinary things.

Now that I look at this again. I feel it might be someone's soul. Heavy with guilt, grief, etc. If it's suppose to be like the man with the darkness coming out of him (like a smoky type of thing) wisps of black smoke around a larger bundle of smoke would work better. I know I'm probably reading into this way to much so I'll shut up..........for now.

hihi, im just glad for the advices. Always looking to draw better :)

try cleaning up the lineart, making it smoother, itll make it look a whole lot better
also try some basic shading, doesnt have to be anything fancy just establish a light source

last thing, i see some color overflow, and bits of white inside, use a hard brush, not a soft brush, itll make it easier to color inside the lines

i agree i like it better in black and white.
but that's just because you haven't got color down 100%
and that can prove to make your work look childish

I would add color. It looks like you have a decent sense of space and anatomy, but don't add this cell shading bullshit. Keep it sketchy.

I'm not tracing, but i am using myself as a reference.

I love this sort of thing.
Were you just doodling and it turned into this bizarre piece or did you have it in mind previous to drawing it?
I think a little more time could've been spent on detailing, but as far as it is right now, it's pretty cool.

I come up with a basic idea and then it just turns out like this ^^
