Rate me gouache drawings.

I haven't drawn with gouache for over 3 years and today I decided to grab some brushes, and here are the results.

Rate please.

For all that aren't familiar with what Gouache is click the link.

Obviously it's not the most anatomicly correct painting ever nor' is it the most beautiful. Nevertheless you gave it a shot with a media that isn't used all that much....so nice job.

Thanks for the constructed criticism.

Yellow Cat?...

He doesn't possibly work for a group of spamcats... does he?

Overall, I'm sorry, but I don't really know what to be looking for. So, I don't know how to criticise it. (Yes, I clicked the link) But it is nice to see a new style on the Art Forum.

Hmm , i believe you lack some creativity there,

The Purgatory Ascension

I really like the vibrant colors of the 'yellow cat on the red mountain'. You don't see that often, and it stands out.

Mind I ask your opinion on the Purgatory picture?
It's really the first abstract painting that I drew, so really anxious for criticism on that one.

Great stuff. This and the second have to be the best so far, nice color contrasts and lots of detail. In the first one the line at the top seems out of place, but otherwise they're all good. Nice style, nice concepts.

If you're implying the picture of the bird, than that's not a line at the top, but a shadow :D
Thing is, I didn't scan that picture, I simply hung it on the wall and snapped it on a camera :/
And btw, please continue with them criticisms and opinions, they are really appreciated since I have just started drawing!

great random :P butt still it makes sense

Sure, altough I'm not too good with abstract pieces. Risking that I looked at the piece totally wrong:
You did well with the different sizes of the souls. It suggests depth. But there is one other thing that suggests depth: the farther away an object is, the more the colors become the background color. The souls are yellow in the front, and more green/blue farther away. Try to mix a few different values between the yellow and the background color on a palette before you start. If you use it well, it'll greatly enhance the picture.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll actually try executing that idea on the picture.
Let's see what comes out.

Now THIS one I like, it's very abstract but you can definitely tell you put the effort in, especially with the aid of the title. Very nice work ^_^, looks excellent.

[q13qew]

well its good 7/10

[BuddhaGeo]

Thanks for the opinions on the "White Winged Devils", but might I ask what actually you see in the picture? I've had people telling me that they see leaves, a reflection, and some didn't even see anything.

I see Tie-Fighters flying through condiments

Ketchup, PEW PEW
Relish, PEW PEW
Mustard, PEW PEW
