J-Nelson's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dated C0rupt3d Statue]

Nice

The dirt under the grass could use some detail.

coruptedGames responds:

Does already have detail but ill add some more thanks (:

[PSIDOG]

Improve shading

nice. Try getting darker shading for more high-contrast. The eye could use some extra detail (eyelashes, etc.).

Franckrodri responds:

Ok , thanks !

[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.

[mace incoming]

Great

Very nice. But I feel you could define the left leg a little more, show where the knee is and such.

kmau responds:

I agree, however the few swift lines of the leg make the movement appear more fluent if you know what I mean.

[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.

[Trick r treat]

Nice

You captured to look of Sam well here, I would recommend laying of the burn tool in the future for cleaner shading. Overall, very good work.
