[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

[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

[Wizard of Oz - " have a heart "]

W-w-why... thank you.

That aside, I like the way you do your lines, especially how it's consistent with your other drawings.

darkaraya02 responds:

Thanks I appreciate it

[Loss of colors]

Think it's Australia's January 23 by the way :)

tiarev responds:

Thanks! For date and for rate.
I'm gonna try to fix the overall effect, even though it's my best artwork I've ever done, I feel it has no as much energy and feelings as I wanted to achieve, but maybe I just have to adjust values a little.

[The eyes of an old man]

I'm loving the effect of the inks, how they leave almost water stains.

To frame the picture better maybe cut off the white edges or turn the image a tad bit counter-clockwise.

Mysia151 responds:

I can see what you mean... Thanks for the advice, I’ll try to do something about that :)

[COLOROFLOSS]

Don't forget to link the Work in Progress by the way.
Good luck on to COTM :D !

Gatot-Kurniawan responds:

Thanks :D

[a pixel emperor]

"Infinte powerrrrrrr!"

The emperor's electric power could be brightened a bit with bits of more blue/cyan color. Also,
the lighting from the lightning on the vest and face could use more blue.

flyingA responds:

thank you for the tips gonna try harder next time

[Portrait of a Friend]

Any way to rotate the image so that it's right-side-up? Also, it does look distracting when the
image is not cropped, but you already know that XD.

It's a nicely colored image :) . I'm guessing you used watercolour and ink pens? The best thing
about this piece is the attention to the highlights and shadows in her hair.

One thing that could be improved on is the girl's neck. It just seems a bit too long.

JuliePhi responds:

Hahaha my friend also told me that...;-;
Anyways thx I’m trying to shorten the neck a bit too, but if I do that it normally looks weird..XD
thx for the reply tho!! (/•.•)/
