You honestly thought your "critique" was remotely helpful? How does calling her drawing "very ugly" help her at all? Sure, you pointed out the flaws but you didn't tell her how to fix them (What in the world does chin-jawed actually mean?). I'm sure you're thinking that you're just giving her a harsh critique, but all you gave her was one measly, rude sentence spewing quips you thought were clever without giving her any resources or further explanation. Usually, I'm fine with the harsh comments others make here
if it helps the artist improve but I don't think that was your aim. What you said doesn't even constitute a critique.
your another person who thinks i'm just being a general a**.
At some point you've probably drawn something then looked at it and thought: Well that is not right it needs to be more like this. Its a skill that every artists needs to improve upon there own work. Relying on the opinions of friends is the worst idea since they will always say how great it is even when its crap.
I say chin-jawed. Not a standard term and hardly used as slang. But OBVIOUSLY it means there is something wrong with this pictures chin and/or jaw. If I explain the proper way to fix it then they will just put that same exact chin and/or jaw on every thing they draw until they see something different. So instead what you should be doing is studying. Looking up a lot of pictures of chins, jawlines, and features. Another thing that every artists needs is a library of images in your head to draw from. Not some quick fix picture from a teenagers blog about how to draw anime super kawaii no bueno.
I specifically chose the way i said what i said. The point was simple. I gave them a list of flaws. It is the artists job to look at there own work and decide if any of these points hold true. There job to figure out to improve it. Red-lines, pictures explaining old art techniques, and opinions from random strangers on weather something should be more to the left or right isn't nearly as effective as simply pointing out whats wrong and having the artist research how to fix it themselves. They will improve at a much stronger rate. They'll be able to rely more on there selves.
Saying she was ugly was because she was ugly. If the character was suppose to be then that's fine if not then a simple look into how to draw beautiful women, or just looking up beautiful women will show you how the hard lines on the face are a no no.
also sorry for calling you a he I was just generalizing. The good news is that your drawing shows you have room for improvement, but all the problems with the pic are thing that can easily be improved upon. So you don't have very far at all before your drawing at a much higher level. Just do the research, collect a bunch of pictures, memorize a bunch more, and don't rely so much on other people to correct your work. You're trying to make pictures that look good the way you want them, not the way some one else wants them. That is part of developing your own style which will set you apart from other artists.
black-hole-crocth: when all the fabric is drawing with lines leading drastically toward the crotch, as if a black hole has formed and in sucking it all in.
Chin-Jawed: The face is flat, the chin is jutting out so far it makes up the majority of the jaw line.
