art critic was here, tri is a loser!, fifty six kay

Very interesting.

'zis by you? looks different from your style :v


different in a strange unfamiliar i-miss-your-style kinda way

Try don't take this to offense, but this is really low quality compared to your other artwork. I think you would benefit from Bridgman's anatomy book, you may wanna get it, it's an invaluble investment. This is bad... well I was expecting more outta ya.

Yeah I don't really like this, Tri.

Trisoft your fired from our art division, I really wasn't expecting you to start a new, unexpected style. Especially something this bad (Not really, just needs a little work). you should be ashamed. Where did your good old style go? Where is this?

Where is this, yo?

Tri, I told you to go with the yellorngellow hair, bro!

uh


purple lipstick

I really have more to say but eh too tired

Yeah I'm gonna have to agree and say that it's really kinda bland compared to your other style

HMM.

All good points. I suppose I shouldn't completely abandon it! Regardless I'm simply experimenting, and it seems this isn't the direction I should take. Thanks for the crit!

when a person who is good at drawing cute / anime graphics tries to draw realistically

it's always horrible.

just don't do it

>good at drawing cute / anime graphics


I'm sorry, I thought I was past this ;_______________;

after i typed that sentence i realized i was typing about ashura when i was supposed to be typing about tri

then i stopped and went "wait how does tri draw again"

"uh"

"smurf it should still work"





i guess it didn't.

@ self

The front view is ick, while the sideview seems all right but her face is really flat.


Err, maybe not flat, but like... too thin?

Head is too small in relation to her body, mostly the neck though. Really the head is the major turn off, go grab some references and numbers for how faces are divided.

I don't really like the first two heads, but the bottom picture is really nice.

Its not that you shouldnt do it, its just that it needs some work. You cant start something new and automatically expect it to be perfect, or even good

Ok enough of this "old style" bull****. Obviously Tri wants to move on, thus doing so I have some serious help for him. I am no pro, I"m not trying to sound like a pro, but I'm going down the same road as Tri with this realistic style learning thing, and I want to share the few things I know.

A) BUY BRIDGMAN, draw from this book as much as possible it will greatly help you.
B) Buy Vanderpoel, focus on his drawings of the facial features, copy them, learn how they work, it'll be of great aid.
C) Draw from life as much as you can, even if it looks like trash, you need to start somewhere.
D) Join a life drawing class.(preferbally a nude model one for best results, and no it's not perverted it's ART and there is a fine line between art and pornography, a VERY FINE LINE!) These classes will help you to the greatest level, I've been in one for almost a year now.
E) Stay away from digital stuff for the time being, focus on the good old paper and pencil method.
F) Get the hell on aim more and I'd love to discuss stuff with ya.
G) NEVER GIVE UP KEEP ON TRYING!

The full body is alright for the most part, just pretty scratchy and messy looking, looks like you kind of just went "whatever" on the hands. I ... don't really get the outfit either, honestly. The design's just ugly to me.
I'm going to use some harsh words because I know you draw gud and are capable of being better, so bear/bare (whatever) with me here.
The profile head is a monstrosity, but so is most profile views when people first draw them. The head is too "flat" and smashed in, it should be more something like this. (Forgive me, I haven't drawn in a long time)

The facial features on the front head itself is mostly fine (Those are some huge lips though) and personally I would have the eyes a tiny bit larger. The biggest problems here though is the hairline(I think that's what it's called, the part on the forehead where the hair from your scalp starts) is much too low. A lot of people have hair styles where you don't see much of the forehead so we are used to that, but in your case the bangs go up first, so it really shouldn't be that low. The neck is also rather thick and long (weird stylistic combination, it's usually one or the other) but overall I think this would be fixed with a little more care. I just get the impression that you're not really trying, since many parts of the picture conflict as they're so uneven at times.

In your picture, the neck is sort of a tube that just extends up, but there's a bit of a slant from the skin/muscle/whatever that smooths it out, it's probably why it looks so weird.


Sorry if I sound condescending, because I totally don't mean it. Keep it up, and I hope you find something that's comfortable for you soon.

This looks bad, sorry.
