Critiquing my own art!!!
3 years ago
Critiquing my own art and putting it in a journal. Starting this again. I was first gonna do it on my first post then I just procrastinated, but im back doing this. If you think I miss anything feel free to tell me in the comments.
I will be critiquing the last 3 drawings of mine.

I feel like there is 2 main issues with the drawing. First off, is the composition. A quarter of it has barely anything of interest. With nothing to lead the viewer to the focal point. I feel like I could of maybe added something more or change the composition to not make it so empty in the top right.
The other main issue is the shading. I should of added some reflected light. Also, probably not make the shadows as dark. As it makes it seem like its a very direct light but I wanted to seem like they were outside. I dont know if that makes sense or not.
Though I think I did the clothing folds very well. I also think the anatomy and pose work very well. I also think I did well with the plushie and the shirt design.

I think there is only really one issue that is very noticeable with this drawing. The lack of consistency in the details and shading. I think the shading and rendering is very good in this drawing but there is some parts where I put more effort into even tho its not the focal point. Some parts of it are not as detailed. Which I think is a bad thing. Though, I could be overthinking it.
I should of pushed some of the saturation with the terminator on the diaper. As I think that would make it pop more. Though I am very happy with how I drew the diaper in this drawing. I am also really happy with the pose. I am very surprised and happy with the shading of course.

I feel like I could of push some of the values in this drawing. Like, with the light. I could of made some parts of the hoodie a bit brighter than it is. Also, with the wings. I could of probably pushed some of the reflected light to show the form a bit better.
The folds of the hoodie is alright but I don't think it's too believable. I feel like some folds are doesn't make the most sense. Especially the folds on the left sleeve. I dont know, I could be overthinking and overanalyzing this one a bit much.
I am happy with how the expression came out. I am also happy with how the wings look. As I don't really draw wings. Defiantly a skill set I might need to practice on eventually.

Thank you for reading. I would love to hear your thoughts and critiques on those drawings. Also, to hear if you agree or disagree with any of the critiques of my own art. I will of course be doing more of these in the future.
Also, wanted to thank you all for leaving comments on my art. It really just warms my heart and makes me feel all good inside. Which really helps me but im sure someday I will talk more on that. Anyways…
Goodbye! Have a wonderful night, day, or evening, everyone!
I feel like for the shadows the light is too close to the character's head, I think something softer should be done.
I think there is only one problem that is very noticeable with these designs. The background. For me, it's tasteless.
I think the shading and rendering is very good in this drawing but there is some parts where I put more effort to visualse It.It feel weird.
