[I LURV BEN]

Pure excellence.

The artistic value and brilliance of this is obviously being overlooked by people according to the score. It's simple abstractness is very well done and it is a great interpretation of the one of the great Rucklo's pieces. The sun and the people are very good, that goodness doesn't seem to have carried over into the clouds and the dog too well though.

J-qb responds:

I agree, I struggled to replicate Rucklo`s greatness in the dog and clouds.

[Spoon of Doom]

nice work luwano

really good idea you have here. There are a few problems but it's done well overall. The nostril I don't think should be as wide from this side on angle and the closer edge on the spoon needs to be defined alot more. At the moment it's hard to tell what angle the spoon is on, if the beans weren't there it would completely look like the back of the spoon.

Luwano responds:

I see what you mean with the nostrils, but I hope it's still in a reasonable proportion, if the person had kinda big nostrils. :P

The edge is really too vague. I'll use stronger shades and lights for my next pics or at least I'll try.

Thank you for your advice!

[I DONT WHANT YOUR BEANS]

lo!OLlollol!OLO!LOLOOl.....

I really like the idea with the beans flying towards you and stuff, you probably could have done it better though. The closest bean looks really cool, I think perhaps you should just remove the guy and the other beans and just leave that one.

I think perhaps the face/head would have been better if you had done them less realistic/human like as it seems a bit out of place on the body. The shading and texture is really good, nice work.

J-qb responds:

Yeah, I did the face first, and put a lot of effort into getting it to convey emotion; but then I couldnt/didnt want to put that much detail in the rest, which makes it a bit unbalanced.
Thanks for the review.

pretty cool.

The idea is good and the middle drawing is good but when your doing something like this with heaps of small lines and patterns you really need to be more cautious and take your time with it. If the lines and fills were less messy and all the lines were parallel or evenly spaced it would look much better. You should also fill in the whole border black instead of leaving random patches of white along the outside, it'll bring the drawing together and make it seem more like a professional art piece and not just a drawing.

Whispydriftythings responds:

Thank you for your input, but really none of my drawings are serious, they are just car ride doodles, on napkins and scraps. It's just something to do.

[dreamin]

~haha Awesome!

I think the composition and colours used here are really good. The dark blue hands and heads balances out well and kinda creates a border for the character while still being a part of the picture. The patterns and spider web like things are awesome and I really like the character. Perhaps you could have done something with the whiteness but it's still great.

torithefox responds:

I left it white because i might be adding text as part of my comic project.

[Trippin]

Aaweomse

I really like the way you've drawn the text. The black smoke stuff is cool and the rigid swirl things that are kind of unique to you. It would be good to see more colour.

Hoboweasel responds:

Thanks man! :D
And I have no idea what color is! :D

[Now Presenting...!]

Very nice.

I see the old cartoonness there, it's quite good but its too simple and needs more shading, patterns or background or something to bring it from sketch to art piece. I think perhaps going over the outline with ink would bring the picture out more. It's good that your going for a different style but it still seems like your work ;)

Luxembourg responds:

You're right, it is a bit too simple. Usually when i make pencil drawings I focus more on making a subject than a full scene, so I don't usually add a background.
Thanks for the review, Cloudy.

[Trauma]

nice!

I really like the colour scheme of purple and blue. The trauma does come across quite well, it's not presented in a straight out scary and fearful way but because of the colours and presentation it is more of a mental trauma of imaginary fears. Good work with this and your other art and your animations ;)

coughing-dog responds:

thanks mate, yeah I was more going for the whole psychological trauma.
hand in is tomorrow so lets hope my teacher likes it ;)
