[Dragon - Pastel]

All the colors are similar, and it easy to look at. You could bring out more detail with sharper black/darker lines, or highlight/shadow colors throughout the body. Good luck, and have fun on future pastel drawings :D

[Inventions!]

There's an incredible about of detail put into this piece, from the opposing sides to the robot in the middle! The lines are a main aspect of your illustration. Wish you the best of luck :D

The illustration is really bright, and the colors are vibrant, especially the ghost with that bright ghastly blue (I'm guessing it's a ghost; I haven't played Cuphead). Further, the ghost stands out with it's white outline and how it's lunging at the cup person. One improvement could be the placement of the highlights and shadows. When I first looked at the piece, I got confused on where the light source was coming from. Some places are missing shading, such as the eyeballs and the cup person's mouth. There's a shadow on the cup person's head that feels off with the highlights on the right of the hands, feet, and body. It's a pretty solid piece in the colors and shapes, and I can see the 1930's style in the characters.

[FIRST TIME DOING MANGA]

Your character has a good choice of colors; it's has pop-out colors, especially with the bright highlighter pink hair. Also pops out due to the bold lines, although line variation could help show different thicknesses of the materials. Just wondering if she's wearing some kind of sweat pants, or stockings. Being your first time, there's a lot to develop, such as her posture and the detail of herself in general. Even so, this is cool concept draft for a first time manga-style, and start practicing if you're into it!

[Blacklight Mage]

Looks wicked! The lines are really bold, and Twilight pops out so much! The colors of the tail and magic around the horn are rather flat; the shaping is great though, as there's a variety of curves and spikes. The background is also a little distracting compared to Twilight.

GlitchyArtist responds:

Thank you very much! This helps a lot to what I should improve on! Good to know the background can muddy up the picture. Again, thank you for the criticism!

[No bite?]

With what you had, you still made something cool, no pun intended. The fisherman has no idea what's beneath the surface; really shows the dramatic irony of the situation. I like the exaggeration of the over-sized shark, with all the pencil strokes imitating the retinas. That shark also has one devious grin. With just a pencil and sketchbook, you did a great job :D.

[B-UNDERTHESURFACE]

There's a lot of attention to the lines, and I like the solid colors going with your solid lines. The background gradient looks off. I was wondering what you are doing with the background. It would of also been nice to see a bit more of the "other side" of the shoe. Little workers in a shoe is different, in a good way :). Overall, I like your art, and wish you the best of luck!
