I'm new, so if I do something wrong, feel free to attack/ or scold me....

rolleyes So...uh...this is my dA:
arrow http://nekootaku.deviantart.com/
Warning: Contains Hojo-obsessive fanart, bad art and stupid comments.

Critiques are more than welcome. One's I have gotten in the past include:

dramallama - Furry Art: Need to work on muzzles and facial expressions.
- TIP: Study anatomy and 'real life drawing' {I'm going to assume this means 'realism'}
4laugh - Anime: 'just too thin'
- Clothes look "blubby" {I'm going to assume this means they don't lay on the body correctly or lack proper shape}
- More shading, it will add depth
- Proportions
- Work on hands
-TIP: Look at glamour mag for refs.
-Work on faces. "Pointy faces"= "Rounded,but slender faces=
- add lips to profiles
-get anatomy book
- Arms and legs too long
- Coloring needs to be stepped up.
- Need work with blending in traditional media
-Need to broaden shoulders, esp. in male figures
wahmbulance - PHOTOGRAPHY: "out of focus", need to work on angle and composition. Content= boring
- Draw from life
sweatdrop What else can you add?

you keep a list of your critiques?? eek

sweatdrop

well... I looked over your work and you've definetally got some potential. I have to agree with the anatomy part, but I could say that to the Majority of people (Including myself) I think if you want something more specific to work on I'd have to say this:

Your shoulders have a tendancy to be a little narrow, particularly on the teenage guys, Men as a general rule have broader shoulders than women. that should also help you flesh them out a tad more.

I like to give critiques on a piece-by-peice basis, sweatdrop and as always these are meant to help you improve not to say your stuff is bad.

sweatdrop Yeah...I do. It means I have a constant reminder of what I need to do.

And thanks for your help. Maybe I'll put up a few pieces I desperately need reviewed.

er.... let me help you with that.

you should use the "URL" button to do those, on gaia it works a little differently than on DA. unless you use the code to make it a Link it won't be.

hrm.... here maybe this will help! I don't know how to explain some of the proportion techniques without visuals. ... I'll do up a sketch to show what I mean but this'll help till I get those.
