Critiquing critique

criticism time yayyyyyyyy

  • the hair doesn’t really match the reference, especially on the (our left) side.
  • the head shape is… wonky
  • the eyes aren’t symmetrical
  • the entire shoulder thing is huge, especcially compared to the head
  • right arm (our right) is the same size as the left arm in perspective
  • the torso shape is uh, pretty wonky, you just kinda curved it really hard, isn’t super anatomically accurate
    image
    as a note, the anatomy wouldn’t even fit if you removed the boobs as it is rn
  • legs probably the best part of it, I like the rune thing on the legs
  • wow, you actually managed to draw a magic circle on paper, consider me impressed
  • goes without saying that the hand is wonky beyond repair
  • left arm (our left) wonky, especially with pose, but also at where it joins with the torso
  • the clothing, barring the legs, is pretty confusing
    image
  • blue line is how far the shoulder goes before going down, red is how far the clothing goes, pretty clearly fucked in perspective
  • the face realllllly isn’t that expressive, no eye detailing either
    just adding a little bubble in a left corner can make em way better

    heres something I drew like 30 minutes ago, you can break the key components of a face down into the eyebrows, eye detailing, and mouth
    the other stuff doesn’t really matter as much, thats all fluff
    the eyebrows and mouth set the tone, and the eyes set the emotion
    even if you do simplistic eyes like this, just a single bubble and a cube in the center, its still far more expressive than doing this
    image
    while it still doesn’t look bad, it just piggybacks off the eyebrow and mouth being expressive
    you can also use eye centers to dictate where a drawing is looking too

theres probably more stuff but I need to finish homework


Pretty sure you don’t need anything depending on the emotion you’re trying to convey.(Blank usually means lifeless/tired)

All of this shit isn’t criticism, it’s just listing bad artistic choices without providing any kind of suggestion.

Now to critique your critique, here’s a 2 second google search

however by addressing individual issues,
they can learn to work around them and improve in those specific areas,
essentially targeting where they currently need help

additionally, going too in-depth might discourage artists from actually listening to what you say, most artists are pretty egotistical and can get defensive quite easily

blank eyes meaning lifeless/tired are usually pretty emotionless and are only used in small amounts as impact, not every drawing should be including that,
especially as with meta’s drawing, the eyebrows are furrowed up and the mouth is slightly frowning,
something with lifeless eyes wouldn’t really have that expression,
and i’m pretty sure it isn’t what meta was going for to begin with

Just a question definitely not for me

Do you think there are some art styles that fit where the eyes are blank but look better without pupils in the eyes

I mean, some can, and you can do them without pupils or anything
but in general they should still be expressive/detailed

some definitely are mostly blank, but entirely blank eyes are exceedingly rare in art
mostly a stylistical choice at that point

how would you have drawn it

drawn what persay, meta’s?

yea

okay give me a minute, I can do a rough sketch

criticism time yayyyyyyyy

H isn’t capitalized and did you really just end a line with a comma? Is this turning into a fucking poem boutta get bnt to sing this.

Damn this beat slaps

Forgot the comma, song over :frcryin:

should’ve started a new line man, thought this would be a song

Bro your art is shit because wdadiawiodawhidioawhdawiohhiodawiohdawdawdawwioh. Yo I think they heard the critic that time, pog.

Damn, the first drawing people show shouldn’t be using their own style of art? Shit, better learn the chibi art Dragon said I should use.

If the eyebrows were darkened and adjusted then it could be a cold expression but you listed no criticism in your post other than “Blank eyes bad smh use cube”

Then why not improve upon the drawing instead of trying to completely change every aspect?

Now, if you don’t like my criticism, it was addressing several individual issues in your post, you can learn to work around them and improve in those specific areas,
essentially targeting where you currently need help.

additionally, going too in-depth might discourage you from actually listening to what I have to say, some artists are pretty egotistical and can get defensive quite easily

Your post sounded like it was trying to go for a song
and i’m pretty sure it isn’t what you were going for to begin with

Yes. people are finally rising up


super rough, I really should finish my homework now

That’s literally a completely different style at this point.(Reinforcing my gamer post)

I’m gonna be real frank and blunt and say the anatomy barely improves

redsisco literally asked

:fr:

@liu


lol

the aforementioned gamer post couldve been more subtle

at least then, rippin on him would be funnier and more creative

its all in the pageantry, the artistic chad energy with which u destroy another person on the internet, that true keyboard warriors strive for

lol indeed, my point still stands (you even ruined the perspective)
