OKAY:]
I'm an aspiring artist and i need ome criticism....
im getting a little tired of constantly hearing from my peers that eveything i do is good,or great,or whatever....
the positive feedback is nice but i dont want to get too comfortable and not acheive my full potential....
so if you guys wouldnt mind,would you look at my my most recent works and tell me how they look....
if they're good,bad,crappy....
i dont care...
i need the criticism and it would be VERY apprechiated:]
**i've added 2paintings,1 pastel, and 5 more drawings. then one with the stars next to themare the newer ones smile **

With Much Love And Respect,

p.s. for anybodywondering,no i did NOT go to any type of art school...
the ONLY type of art class i had was in elementary school and it was basically an outlet of expression,no specific way of drawing things.

(if there's any questions about any of these feel free to ask any questions biggrin )
here are the links:

Your artwork is pretty good. However, sometimes it looks like as if you are not actually trying to focus on centering the drawing that you do. Sometimes the lips look too big or the eyes are out of place or the jaw is too big. The Jack Sparrow one was good, though. That is one I liked the best.

Your works not bad. I would strongly suggest shading to you though. From what i saw, most of your works had monimal to no shading. I really feel that it would help take your work to the next level. Keep it up. =)

Ok so im back to comment on your new stuff this time. =D

My biggest suggestion is that you don't do your drawings on lined paper, since this realy detracts from the drawing itself. Art quality paper is the best but computer printer paper is also a good option (and cheaper).

My other observation is on the piece you colored in markers of the guy and girl with the hearts in the back ground. Clean up your coloring a little. It looks a tad messy. Remember presentation is importajnt too.

Keep working at it. =)
