This looks cool so far!

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Saturday, February 27th 2010, 10:47 AM

some really bad stuff happened last night and i really don't want to delet this picture but i don't feel like i can finish this picture

Seidal @ Saturday, February 27th 2010, 4:09 PM

Hey it's all good. Things happen, and you can always come back to this when you're up for it, right? Actually, I find that big events in my life end up adding more character to my art. I'll be supporting you!

soulwithin465 @ Saturday, March 6th 2010, 10:40 PM

You make the coolest clothing designs!

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Tuesday, February 23rd 2010, 9:23 PM

just doodlin'. if anyone wants to colour...how do I public-ify this? anyways I'm super peeved cuz, I've had 7english teacher in 3weeks (no joke), my geo teacher doesn't know the pacific from the atlantic (literally), and our new principle is a former stripper and current idiot

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Tuesday, February 23rd 2010, 9:26 PM

i guess maybe this oekaki doesn't do public-ing it's kind of a sketcher-type activity I guess

soulwithin465 @ Wednesday, February 24th 2010, 6:24 AM

Oh fudge this looks like so much fun to color too ;^;

And whoa sounds like quite the school! I bet its at least more interesting than mine =3=

Arf @ Wednesday, February 24th 2010, 8:36 AM

this is an old-fashioned oekaki without the 'public' thingy..

but if someone wanted to color it, they could save the picture and the upload it

(if you need uploading access, just ask an administrator)

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Wednesday, February 24th 2010, 3:59 PM

okay sorry didn't mean to make that sound rude. Yeah, it didn't used to be like this it's all the principle's fault, we used to be the number one school in the EQAO examinations for both 9th and 10th grades, we had trust and repect with the staff and now it is a for lack of a better, hell hole

soulwithin465 @ Wednesday, February 24th 2010, 9:48 PM

Haha omg yeah like we have a new vice principle at our school now and he runs pretty much everything! And now the school is packed with more rules and regulations than I can keep up with! =A=

Seidal @ Thursday, February 25th 2010, 11:28 PM

HOooOly that is one crazy school environment...

Ummm, I guess another way to let someone color is to log into your account..? But that's risky... and requires oodles of trust.

I love your character designs <3

OH yea! I am likin' the way this is comin out! For once I am very proud!

Seidal @ Tuesday, February 16th 2010, 9:36 PM

O wow this is coming along really nicely

I love the way you're coloring this <3

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Tuesday, February 16th 2010, 9:56 PM

SHE's done! I'll probably add a background tomorrow but it's ten'o'clock here in Ottawa so yea

soulwithin465 @ Wednesday, February 17th 2010, 12:21 AM

Awesome pose!!
I love the antomy and the shading style~!
Also nice choice of colors <333

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Wednesday, February 17th 2010, 7:48 AM

thank-ya I am very proud of how this turned out though I want to fix that darn foot

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Wednesday, February 17th 2010, 7:52 AM

Now her foot's done :), silly girl forgettin to have a heel

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Wednesday, February 17th 2010, 8:17 PM

i'm just tryin out a random backdrop but i think it's too cheap-lookin for the pic, i'll come back and change it later on

Star @ Thursday, February 18th 2010, 6:09 PM

certainly this is amazing
i already see improvement compared to your tryouts~

Seidal @ Tuesday, February 23rd 2010, 10:47 PM

I agree with Star. You really have improved a lot in such a short time!!

and now she's done. you might need to use the "refresh" button

Star @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 2:29 PM

its realllllly pretty :D!!
i love your lines. i wish mine were as pretty as that ;A;

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 5:53 PM

aww thanks! =)

Seidal @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 8:09 PM

I like your lines a lot too--
and the concept of a fox with a unicorn is very original and creative

soulwithin465 @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 9:55 PM

Oh gosh I love the style of this!!!!! The face and fur are wonderful! And nice choice of colors, the orange really sticks out for me <3

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Saturday, February 13th 2010, 6:17 PM

could i have a redline before i put this to good?

soulwithin465 @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 3:37 AM

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn219/soulwithin465/Redline2.png

It?s not perfect but I tried >A<
Overall I feel the layout is balanced quite nicely; however, the direction she?s facing seems a bit awkward. I?m guessing she?s looking at the moon? The moon is in the background not the foreground so if she is looking at the moon her face should be looking away from us. You should be able to see more of her back rather than just the side and you might want to raise her butt up a bit to make it appear like she?s sitting on the branch rather than pasted on it. The legs are nicely done though and I enjoy the landscape! Hope to see this finished some time! And hope this helps a bit >u<

<3

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 10:33 AM

yea your pose makes more sense. in mine it looks as though she's staring in two dirrections

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 10:37 AM

your pose makes much sense but I failed at it! and i'm really starting to hate this picture!

Seidal @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 8:13 PM

Poses facing away from the viewer are so challenging >___<
I really like the concept of the picture thoughhhh >w<

soulwithin465 @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 9:54 PM

Yeah its a pretty tough angle! But it looks like your on the right track =]

Anne Dyari @ Saturday, February 13th 2010, 1:26 PM

^^ So just remember to integrate refferences into your pictures, if anything, they're great practice.

Watching your animation for this one though, freehanding the proportions is fun and I do it alot when I'm lazy, but you'll occasionally end up with something not quite right. Remember to work out the proportions first, then add things over the body.
http://www.realcolorwheel.com/human.htm here's a good proportion site

chainedfox @ Saturday, February 13th 2010, 7:06 PM

omagod, i had that costume when i was little XD

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Saturday, February 13th 2010, 10:46 PM

lol! aren't they the cutest though! Have you ever seen the unicorn equivalent? awwe they're so sweet

soulwithin465 @ Sunday, February 14th 2010, 3:39 AM

This is epic win!

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Friday, February 12th 2010, 10:06 PM

According to the crits i recieved on my tryouts I see that my two main problem areas at this point are shading and the ability to use a ref proporly so i tried to attack both issues in one picture

ref:
http://imagecache.asos.com/inv/T/28/303/561078/KingfisherTurquiose/image1xl.jpg

crits? (minus the fact i totally changed the colour and made her hair longer)

Anne Dyari @ Saturday, February 13th 2010, 12:29 AM

http://i50.tinypic.com/2d7ede9.jpg

The thing to mostly pay attention to is proportions, what angle are the shoulders at to make them look that way.
Another is soft shadows, in the photo, you can slightly 'see' her form against the dress using the shadows, which will give the picture more depth.

The more you draw from refferences, the more you'll learn.

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Saturday, February 13th 2010, 9:05 AM

thanks so much, yea, the shadow thing makes alot of sense and i feel a little silly for not doing that. I see that i should havehad less space between the head and should, does that make any sense? Your folds stand out alot more then mine, i think I should have made them look, deeper? <--- i don't know what word to use for that. Oh wow- my eye should have been alot smaller

"Hona in Well's World"

More {monochromatic red} (i do enjoy monochromatic a bit too much)

Star @ Thursday, February 11th 2010, 8:40 PM

im not sure really.
but anywho. im horrible at critting.
so heres a try.
i cant really see the shading on the girl.
i see that you used quite a bit of colors there. but
its just not that noticeable
her legs seem too chubby.
the wings could use better shading. like add feathers or something.
the perspective is really off.
the head is waay too small

redline: http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9851/fdgsfg.jpg

i really do not get the standards of this oekaki. so im not voting

(Edited on February 11, 2010, 8:42 pm)

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Thursday, February 11th 2010, 9:58 PM

I agree that the standards here are quite confuzing and at times it seems as though 'personality' has a factor on your accemptance?i see what you mean in the legs, boobs and wings though I'm not so sure that the head sound be larger, perhaps the eyes should just be higher?

Anne Dyari @ Thursday, February 11th 2010, 10:04 PM

More like the face should be slightly longer, like the chin.
Again, refferences will be your best friend, the soon you start using them, the better you'll get.

Other than that, I am not sure about the standards, but I think this is about intermediate. I thoroughly enjoy the concepts of the pictures, and the interesting style. In. ^^

Gecko @ Friday, February 12th 2010, 3:05 AM

I'm gonna say in

I think you're intermediate enough :>

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Friday, February 12th 2010, 4:17 PM

i did use references but more so for the the feet, dress, and well

Anne Dyari @ Friday, February 12th 2010, 4:35 PM

^^ Good! And also, thank you for spending more time on this tryout as well.

Welcome to WOI, feel free to draw here or at WOB. ^^

"Strange Signs beneath Stranger Skies"

{in monochromatic green}

(Edited on February 10, 2010, 9:50 pm)

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Wednesday, February 10th 2010, 9:51 PM

refresh before crits

Anne Dyari @ Thursday, February 11th 2010, 12:32 PM

quick redline- http://i45.tinypic.com/fwufkg.png

I really love the characterized style and the postures, it's very expressive, and especcially combined with the monochrome, can be really strong.
My main issue is the anatomy structure though, which can be fixed by finding refferences and being really careful with proportions.
Also, the way you are shading is that you're using the pen tool to cell shade, which can be nice, but you need more gradients than just 3 or 4. I like your highlights and light source, but i want more shadows, there's a lovely dark green in your background gradient which I would've liked to see work in the shadows of the character, which would pull the character more into the background.
... and last thing, backgrounds, refferences for backgrounds, and TIME is your friend. The background looks very rushed, and with the pen tool, it's hard to cover up.(I use watercolor, smoother and easier to 'cheat' and be lazy >> <<).
Summing it up, anatomy, dymanic shadows, backgrounds, and spend time making it perfect. 60min is a short time for a tryout, especcially working with hard brush tools like the pen.
I say Borderline/In, so, let's wait and see what other people say, Good luck!

Gecko @ Thursday, February 11th 2010, 1:08 PM

Well, Anne pretty much got everything, but the thing that gets me is the backgrounds on both your tryouts, they fit really well, but are really simple aswell, and there's not much to focus on.
Ehh, I don't know, third?

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Thursday, February 11th 2010, 3:47 PM

I see what you mean about the anatomy(BTW the "ear" shapes are meant to be large like that, not slimmed like in ur sketch but no bigg) and adding more shades to my well -shading

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Thursday, February 11th 2010, 4:38 PM

I like the background in this picture, the technique works for THIS picture not so much as the second i used it in.
