You need to seriously work on proportions and technique. Your linework is sloppy and your style on this is, for lack of a better word, repulsive, as in it physically makes me want to sit further from the screen. I'm sorry, but it's true. My suggestion is to try to distance yourself from anime for a bit and learn techniques from other styles that you can assimilate into your own, rather than limiting yourself like you are now.

Also, diversify subject matter as well as style. Spend a lot more time on your drawings and give them backgrounds and feeling. The characters I've seen in your gallery look soulless. Work on expressions by looking at yourself in the mirror. Take lifedrawing courses.

listen jerk, like i said it's old. ever realized that you dont have to be nasty about art? i never said i was a master, and i never claimed that i was some magic kind of artist.

honestly, if you dont like me stuff and aren't able to comment constructively without being a douche bag, then go the fuck away.
:iconpotlan:
I never said you were. In fact, I think I alluded to the fact that you were badly in need of improvement. Your recent stuff shows some improvement, but largely in the wrong direction. I think you need to come back to this point and start afresh.

And constructive criticism? My whole comment was constructive. In case you missed my suggestions to you, here they are again:

1- You need to seriously work on proportions and technique.
2- My suggestion is to try to distance yourself from anime for a bit and learn techniques from other styles that you can assimilate into your own, rather than limiting yourself like you are now.
3- Also, diversify subject matter as well as style.
4- Spend a lot more time on your drawings and give them backgrounds and feeling.
5- Work on expressions by looking at yourself in the mirror.
6- Take lifedrawing courses.

Listen up buddy, I don't know where you learned english (mars?), but here in all of the english-speaking countries, "[...] for lack of a better word, repulsive, as in it physically makes me want to sit further from the screen." isn't constructive. No one wants to hear your crappy 'advice' or whatever you call it.

"[...] rather than limiting yourself like you are now". Limiting herself? First of all, you have seen only 3 of her art pieces. Only 2 of which are drawings. How can you judge her current status on one old piece (which I still think is good), and another more recent one. "Also, diversify subject matter as well as style". So two of her pieces have people in them. Oh gosh, what a repetitive, boring (repulsive?) person. Wow, putting people in one's drawings is really strange and boring. Geez, why didn't I think of that. I guess I'm not as artistically adept at 'critizing' people's artwork. "Spend a lot more time on your drawings[...]". Furthermore, I would like to know how you have come to acquire the knowlege of the amount of time spent on her artwork. Have you been peeking through her curtains watching her sketch? If not, then I would suggest that you do not tell her how much more time to spend on HER drawings.

In your second comment you state that "And constructive criticism? My whole comment was constructive[...]". Again, I bring back the rudeness and deconstructive comments that you made. "You need to seriously work on proportions and technique. Your linework is sloppy and your style on this is, for lack of a better word, repulsive, as in it physically makes me want to sit further from the screen. I'm sorry, but it's true. My suggestion is to try to distance yourself from anime for a bit and learn techniques from other styles that you can assimilate into your own, rather than limiting yourself like you are now". That doesn't seem very constructive to me at all.

In conclusion, I think that you are a cold-hearted asshole who no one wants to hear. I think that you should keep your arrogant 'critiques' to yourself.

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE INTERNET.
:iconselfexpression:
Why am I welcomed to the internet? Did I refrence the internet at all in my previous comment? I think that you may want to seek some professional help.
