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:

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

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

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

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. ^^

Ahaha could you pixel Oinkers? http://kyuubi-bi.deviantart.com/art/new-ID-ug-144676725 he has a really simple design so idk how it well it would pixel lol xD

--I just got a tablet a month ago, I should probably draw a bit with my mouse again so that I don't forget how to :O

UNKNOWN_ARTIST @ Friday, February 12th 2010, 4:36 PM

though pixeling is easier to to with mouse then a full sized picture

im so confuzzled.. i'm trying to find the right style for me, and so far i know my style has water color in it, but im not exactly sure how to use it...

not trying to copy cardboard, sorry if it seems so

for some practice, im going to do watercolor requests, maybe that will help,
so plz, post some refs, with some characters, only animals plz

(Edited on February 12, 2010, 1:16 am)

Kyuubi-Kitsune @ Friday, February 12th 2010, 12:26 PM

I think this looks great! I love the shading x3
Umm well I don't really have any good refs for my characters~ http://kyuubi-bi.deviantart.com/art/New-DA-ID-98714194 this is the only one that shows all the patterns Tora has D:
Also, his bandanna is orange, not purple :3

"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 downloaded HeartGold onto my r4, but some of it's in Japanese still D: I can still play it though, and it's amazing! I'm going to buy the game when it comes out though so I have a good version :>

The shading on this is lovely!

chainedfox @ Tuesday, February 9th 2010, 1:10 PM

thank u, the shading was hard, and it still is

i would have gotten heart gold, but the fact that i like lugia made me get soul silver

omagosh, it won't let me log out, sorry

(Edited on February 9, 2010, 3:35 pm)

soulwithin465 @ Wednesday, February 10th 2010, 4:46 AM

chainedfox @ Wednesday, February 10th 2010, 7:26 PM
