[First Moleskine Drawings]

Notbad

~~~REVIEW~~
Well notbad first of all on your two sketches and such, it took me awhile to get to and find your art so i am glad i did you have a couple of nice sketches here, but i must say they are still hard to see even a close up version, but regardless they were both pretty good i thought have some sorta story to tell and nice sketches good line work especially with the hair and all, it could use a touch of color even if its just pencil or even pen, you have some nice stuff here i would love to see how you can process this with maybe photoshop and or paintshop pro, to really beable to give it some bright and fresh colors, would really be something neat, anyways good work, and i look forward to reviewing more from you soon

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
the artwork seemed very hard to see from the computer so maybe somehow you can maybe outline the work with a darker pen or something, some mixture with photoshop would also be nice and allow for some fresher color thems

Luxembourg responds:

Thanks for the review! Your score was pretty fair, although your review itself was a little peculiar in the language department. I get what's wrong with it, though. I've been improving with darkening lines, though, and I recently had some ebony pencils that I used to make thick, black lines. Problem is, I don't have a scanner anymore!
I usually only digitally touch up on pen drawings, by the way.

lol i like

~~REVIEW~~
heh well i must say this was pretty neat i especially like the checkard backround, the robot is funny and silly looking, there is a white backing to the character? it kinda looks odd over the checkard backround, maybe something could be done there, Iwouldnt mind seeing some color in the robot, maybe like on that globe on his head just a tad though as to not take away from the whole black and white theme you have going, as for the text, i would have that in another color besides the yellow as the yellow matches up too much with the checkored backround, well hope thses things i noticed might help to improve on this, anyways good luck on your next entry.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
try and remove as much if not all of the white paste or backing thats around the character also the texting in yellow should be a differant color as the backround matches up to much with it

Hmmm notbad

~~REVIEW~~
Heh well this was notbad i like your character, there were a few points i thought looked odd and maybe improved on, such as the legs look abit on the short side aswell as the head looking somewhat small, I like that you added some sorta backround, but maybe have a backdrop scene instead of just the color theme, another thing i noticed was maybe you can have his hair on his head and end of tail more "FURRY" like with that shade of blue you have it looks just plain and smooth, so add abit of depth to it if you can, well its a nice character looks like you have something here go with it and improve on it.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
i would like to see the hair improved with a more hairy like or in your characters case more furry like, the leggs look out or portion and slightly on the head aswell

[YARD]

Hmm interesting

~~REVIEW~~
Hmmm well this was interesting and i really like the idea of "GRAFFITI" but with the one you have here its really hard to see the word "YARD"?? I think its because of all the extra stuff you have going in out and around, the lettering self is notbad ok color not too much shading but its slightly there, the texture is something you may want to work on though, So my suggestion for improving on this would be have the word yard show up or standout more or what you could do is have the main word "YARD" standout in one color, and have all the extra stuff mend into a differant color something lighter so that the word is the main focus point, i like your idea though maybe you will like mine.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some backround color besides the bland white would be nice, And have the main word "YARD" standout in one color, and have all the extra stuff mend into a differant color

GOSTEONER responds:

i could do backgrounds for future drawings, but backgrounds usually take focus off the main piece. i have to disagree with what ur saying about making the letters stand out more than the extra pieces, the extra pieces are what make it look like graffiti and less like a piece of typography. the real image has darker shading but once scanned the brightness of the scanner kind of distorts that.

[Adept]

Wow very awsome

~~REVIEW~~
Wow i was very impressed with this, infact i added it as my faves, but anyways this really reminds me of one of the older jedi from starwars?? but i guess its not. i really like all the effort in color like with your backrounds and even main charcter, the backrounds were pretty neat but i wouldnt mind seeing more visuals back there even, maybe also give the character like a glow effect around him maybe his eyes or whole head would be a nice little effect and such, maybe even have another character in the distance maybe thats the one character he is looking for, so what im saying with that is give the image abit of a story like something is going on, anyways nice job here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
add another character in the distance, sharpen up the backround cloudy effects, and possibly give the character some aura or glow for the extra effect

Seriously responds:

yeah I plan on drawing all of my friends characters from our DnD campaign, eight, maybe even sketch some of the situations we encountered (some where very funny and all were interesting). Thanks for the good review and the fav. :D

[BS2 - Big Sister]

Awsome

~~REVIEW~~
This is awsome, you added lots of detail and good use of color like the "EYE" and red really reflected very well, i like all the extra detail like the blood stains and the backround war signs, it really gives off a little story of something going on here, now the points i thought were odd was his leg where his leg is lifting up i see no lower half of the leg. is it there or was it cut off in battle? im not familular with the subject matter so im not so sure, and if he is missing that lower leg part how is he/she able to carry that heavy load, also another thing i noticed was your "SIGNATURE" it was too close to the image and rather simple, maybe it should be more in the corner as to not mess up the actual drawing, and maybe you should add a more "FANCY" text and or font, anyways good job here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
signature was abit plain and too close to the actual drawing, also the "LEG" looked odd??? other then that i thought it was a fantastic art piece

[{BT} Under Water]

Its notbad

~~REVIEW~~
This is notbad, it kinda reminds me of a skyline, some mountains then the ocean?? but anyways if thats what it is its all great, but i think you need to change up on some colors, like the ocean is fine with the color you have, but maybe the mountains could be slightly darker and such, then the sky could be maybe even lighter then the ocean itself, now you could add some sorta prop out there like a small boat or something, maybe a fisherman but it does need a "POINT OF FOCUS" something that gives the viewer a focal point, the image you do have is nice and pretty fantastic but it does need more to it, its more or less just a nice backround which can be used, but i hope you do ad more to this in the near future.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
add a focal point, something other then just the backround you have, and change up the colors abit so its not all blending and such

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks for your input.

[Falling apart.]

Interesting

~~REVIEW~~
This was neat i like all the blocks and even the uplifting msg you are sending across and such, now this could be much better i think, first off i think that thoe whole canvas should be larger so you can also show much more blocks and maybe even other people with uplifting mesges and such, just an idea but it should be on a much larger canvas, gives you more room to show off much more, now i also think this could be even better with other colored blocks and such, so i do hope them small tips help, but as this art piece is, its pretty good looking and a pretty good idea i thought. anyways nice art piece , keep up the good work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
a few things would be first make a larger view screen with more blocks and more mesges and such, more mesges and such, maybe even adding some differant colored blocks aswell

BobtehLog responds:

Thanks for the review, it could of be alot bigger (I do agree) but this result I have no is nothing to what I had first planned so it pretty much just all got recreated on the spot. Thanks for the review :)

[soda spill]

This was interesting but i like

~~REVIEW~~
Now this is a nice and simple image here, but it does need some "DETAIL" it can still have that "SIMPLE" feel but it does need a tad detail like say the cup it could totally have "COKE" along the side of it and all, or what you could do is make up your own logo of some sort, abit of design and some texture to the simple colors used and such would really bring this out, but still keep its simple side and feel to it, now the backround looks to me like this scene takes place at the movies so maybe some posters should be back in those empty slots or something along them lines, well you have a nice drawing here just needs abit of detail here and there nice work though

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few details such as some added posters in the backround, maybe a soda logo on the soda and more depth to the colors more texture if you will
