I ;ike your style! B=Very clean and effective! Well done!

[What Did It Cost? : ARTIST ARMY]

This is so smart and well executed! You make the viewer have look twice to see it a girl appearing you easily mistake for a cloud. Very very surprising, well put together!

[Artist heroes]

I like your style!

[DrawWithJazza entry]

YEAAAH! I soooo love this! Original art supply use, madness! Just for the sake of using a original art supply I would pick you as finalist. If you get to the finals, I will vote for you even if it would go against me in the finals. This is so deserving of acknowledgement!

Hahaha Happy Jazza Face! Definitely recognizable, the way how you drew his face really fits the poster style of that time!

Very smart to make a recruitment poster so you don't need to draw an entire army. Wish I thought of this myself, haha! Very well done

GioolioDraws responds:

Thank you so much! <3

I like the Vexx style your artwork represents, with its own artist- characters placed into it. That hand looks close to real, you had me fooled! Well done!

[Different art forms brought to life!]

I love how you centred your art in a circle. The background purples are used as shades on the characters and the orange/red pops up. Very effective way to use colors and make them come together.

I like to give friendly advice on how to make the characters stand out individually. The woman in the long robe upper left in the circle has clear dark lines. Use the same thickness and lines on the rest of your characters. Then use a thicker line to outline each character. Then make a light outline next to the thicker dark outline you just did to make the characters 'pop'.

It is just a suggestion I like to make and you can do with it what ever you like. You can see what I mean on my entry for this contest.

Again, you did a great job here and your artwork will stand out with the color-theme you used. Well done!

Vanilla-Lemon responds:

Thanks so much, this is some great advice! I appreciate it a lot!

[Army!!]

I love the way you used red in greyish colors and the soft glow of light. The drawing is effectively detailed and has very clean lined feel to it. I feel that this drawing has a lot of potential to make it more artsy, I really miss the challenge theme. The smokeyness could have been lightly colourful and maybe exhaust fumes of the aircrafts could be colored as well. The flags could have had white brushes on them and the army wearing brushes or so.
BUT I do understand that it won't complement the image itself and that you chose to do this to use in your art portfolio. This looks really professional and personally I prefer this over the choices you could have made to fit the contest.

KaoriYuki responds:

oh my goodness thank you so much!! ahh thank you so much for the suggestions, i appreciate it, will try it next time ^^ haha even i couldn't agree more that i do prefer this than what i could've done. but um, i guess i stuck with my guts haha~ thank you so much again <3 <3

Great style, that horse is magnificent! I won't be able to pull that off. Jazza is very recognisable.

Only thing what I would change is the position of the hand of the girl next to the horse. In her hand she is holding the brush but because you can't see the hand, I first assumed the brush was attaches to the side of the horse, second guess was it was growing out of the back of the guy in the front. Then I saw she was holding it. It is definitely not a big deal but easily adjustable to make the hand a bit higher so you can see her gripping the brush. But eh, now I feel guilty because it is just a minor detail not feeling fair to mention.

I love this piece and it really deserves the 5 stars full! Well done!

Lucas-Black responds:

Seems like a perfectly reasonable critique. I'll make the adjustment on my personal image. I don't think I'll have the time to fix it before the contest ends, but thanks, I agree with you.

[Let us be ourselves-artistarmycomp]

very original way of thinking and using this perspective. I love the wooden mannequins.
Doing this traditionally really shows the effort put into this, well done!

I totally agree with the point you are making with this drawing. Before I went to school when I was 4, I was better in drawing than my older brothers and sister. But white papers got replaced for colouring pages where you had to draw within the lines. The way of using imagination has been taking away from me. I rediscovered my artistic talent when I was in highschool and surprised myself, my art teacher and classmates with an art piece that came from my hand. Now, years later I realize that the schoolsystem is not providing room for imaginary or creative development.

Do you know the famous artist M.C. Escher? I see you use very interesting perspectives in other art pieces too and I wonder if he inspires your art or maybe it will now! Look him up! I'll stop spamming now :)

Teschenemar responds:

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I heard about him in 9th grade (something did "the system" good XD)
I always loved line perspectives... easy tricks to create something cool. And when I discovered (around Jan. 2018) that 5 point perspective existed I was like WHY NO ONE EVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS?! And since then I can't stop using (or imitating) it.

As I was a child the etchings by Füle Mihály and Gross Arnold hanging on the wall of my grandparents inspired me (but more with the shading and style than the perspectives)... but to be honest, I love all kind of etchings ... and Vasarely's (Vásárhelyi Győző) op art.
