[Crappy Dino practice.]

It reminds me of a dragon wo<ow .

I like the different line thicknesses, and the dinosaur's shape is pretty good. Maybe move its right eyebrow further up since it slightly in the back. Also some more solid lines would help especially around areas you would want to show depth or thickness, for example the eye.

In the future are you adding shading? It would look pretty cool and give the dinosaur some more detail:)

[The Mentor]

The sea green is an interesting color with the paper browns and oranges. What made you pick that color? Always love your textured brushes ;D

9Hammer responds:

I appreciate it. I mainly chose that color since the background was a mix between blue and green, so I basically mixed it together. Plus, it contrasts with the yellow/gold on the owl character as well!

[Local Bot Discovers Dresses]

For some reason the title feels rather fitting. Enjoy the solid colors; it reminds me of cell shading.

[quantum computer 2]

I like how you used the solid black lines, and the white space is filled with the color of green and cyan (?). How did you draw the image before the color?

[Tokoyami]

What kind of brush do you use, or do you use multiple kinds? Because the solid unblending strokes are really cool :D

9Hammer responds:

Thank you, and I use several types of rake brushes to get those sort of strokes. It's a brush that is in Kyle T. Webster's brush pack!

[Carol]

Is there supposed to be hair between her neck and the hair that is hanging down? Hair that's behind the hair that's hanging and over her left shoulder?

kittenbombs1 responds:

Yeah

[Usalia]

Question: Do you like to bend smoothly, or do you use different blocks of color to show shadows/bright spots?

The style reminds me of comics, and I like how solid all the colors are.

[buffalo wing]

Where do you get these ideas? They make me hungry X/

fleepis responds:

i gotta do a portfolio and i decided to do comfort foods i love! im glad they look appetizing haha

[Kai]

Question: Did you use a stock photo for the clouds in the background?

Liking how the character is a different style with the lines than the surrounding scenery :)

9Hammer responds:

I appreciate the comment on the character style. Thank you. In relation to the background, the clouds were the only stock elements. I used a bit of photo editing with several clouds images/brushes so it didn't look too much like a stock photo.

[Magenta]

Not to be a smart aleck, but is she named "Magenta" because she has magenta hair?

I'm really liking both the texture/detail of her hair (and that rose!), as well as the general softer colors of the piece. The shadows of the hair is jarring next to the darker shadows of her clothes. The hair seems to have a very sharp shape. Also, the chain could be changing shape while it follows(?) towards her chest and back.

TreC101 responds:

The hair seems to be what she's named after at a quick glance, but there's actually more to it than that. I'm planning on revealing more about her in the future and why she's named that :D
I tried to make her hair more natural even though her original design had sharp hair shapes on both sides on her head (since I created her during my anime phase haha). The chain wraps over her shoulder and the other chain on top wraps around her neck, I hope that clarifies that but I think parts of the drawing could also be improved ^^

I apologize for that long block of text, but I do appreciate the feedback :D <3
