J-Nelson's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[BOOTEH SHAWTS]

Well

The left arm could use better perspective, it doesn't stick out much. Also you should add more shading. to make it look less flat.

[Arch Demon]

Good work

Adding a background would make it awesome. I'm a hypocrite saying that, but do as I say, not as I do.

[Knight Concept]

Needs work

There's not much shading, and the sword's coloring is a bit sloppy. Luckily, metal is a cool place for high contrast, so that should be easy on the armor. For the chain mail, try to imply that there's chain mail instead of drawing it out. For an example look up pictures of how people draw the scales on Aquaman's outfit.

[Sword in the Stone]

Missing something.

I think those pillars and support beams could use some texture.

[Romantic Cruise Comic]

Clean it up some

Take out those hatching lines. They are quite messy and don't mesh well with the coloring style you've chosen. The moving wine in the glasses is a nice touch to suggest movement, but I think you could take the idea further with some motion lines and such.

Eric-McTrainshit responds:

Thanks for the review. I've implemented some of your advice and removed most of the thatching lines and changed the color of the motion lines.

It should be mentioned that this drawing was originally drawn with pencils and scanned improperly on a poor scanner. It was penciled lightly and the were many erasure marks and shading everywhere. It was a bit of a challenge to clean up, took nearly 11 hours of constant work to clean it and color it. Mainly because it was hard to differentiate the extra marks/smudges and missing lines. It would have been faster to trace it, but that would completely defeat the purpose I was aiming for.
