why do people like criticising art work though? People spend a while doing art works and it is kinda sad when someone just looks at parts they find bad and not the parts that are good.

@@Skylar, That's fair but there's a huge difference between shitting on someone's work and giving them constructive criticism because one wants to see them get even better.

well it depends on the person who is criticising it they can only point out the bad parts if they want to or only the good parts but good criticizers point out the good and the bad and give advice to the artist.

While there's no denying you're good at drawing, you need to improve on your shading, colour theory and background.

I'll try and give you some pointers in the right direction:

 

-While shading, there are hard edges, soft edges and lost edges. (explained here as well as a lot of other helpful stuff)

-Remember reflection! The surroundings will reflect off of the object

-Your lines are all one thickness

-No detail in the hair

-Low contrast in the pony compared to the background makes it look off, like the pony isn't part of the background

-Learn to draw backgrounds through tutorials, practice and study rather than just taking an image Q - Q

-Wings aren't properly attached to the body, the wings when joined to the body aren't suspended by a thin bone,  they stretch out across some of the body (see image)

-Don't use 'true' colours like pure black, white, blue, etc those colours don't exist in nature

-The hair is very jagged and triangular like Lisa's hair from the Simpsons. Try something like this

-Also try mixing up the colour of the light and shadow (see the first video) it can make paintings/drawings really something special if done right

 

Hope this helps o vo

 

While I love constructive critizism and agree with all these pointers, having graduated from 2D animation and art school,

 

this is a style that is all on its own in regards to how he views the Hasbro MLP franchise. The saying goes "there is no WRONG way of doing art work" and this is no exception. I think your overlooking it a bit on his view and style. That be like critizing my style when I aim to match close to the MLP style itself with a bit of fun flair.

 

If you were to see my style, you could critque how some parts are not exactly the same as the MLP franchise and I would need to impove on these parts. That's true, but since my style has its own flair, it may never look like the MLP style, but thats what makes it my own style at the end of the day, and the same is with Volt's.

 

He may not have done the background, but we're looking at what he's done in regards to character design. Its orginal, crisp, fluent and eye catching and makes the eye move. An A+ for giving him pointers, but a solid C for not giving him positive feed back my friend. I think your post was meant to help and be beneficial, but it comes out as patronizing.

 

On that note, Volt, your an amazing artiest, keep doing what your doing, of course if you want to improve, you know you can! Regardless, your an amazing artist, dont let others tell you otherwise!

@@Lightning Bliss, Apologies to you and the artist, it was never my intention for it to come off patronising and I do agree I should have given more positive feedback like what I would normally do = w=
