While I can sympathize, I can not agree.

Personally I like this piece, it's funny and partially true. While I can not agree with anyone who attacks an artist based on their work rather then criticize their work I do however feel your art is... bad. I feel it lacks real personality and style. You seem to draw in a crappy anime style coupled with a rather poor grasp of anatomy, coloring and perspective. I honestly though you were 14 or 15 when I was going through your gallery only to find that your userpage says your 27.

My advice to you is stop with the anime style, it's just not working for you, for now anyways. In order for you to improve you need to practice the very basics. I would suggest you take an art class of some sort just to get you out of your element or just start drawing things you wouldn't normally draw. Draw some flowers, passers-by, a can of soup anything. You need to explore your world through art.

I personally believe that your art should be nothing more then your interpretation of what you find most interesting about somethings form and shape, its color, how it moves, and all of it's physical characteristics. Photo-realism has nothing to do with it but surely it requires great deal of skill, discipline and a keen ability to observe in order to achive that level of mastery. I feel you art does not really express anything about you. A picture is only worth a thousand words if the picture was founded on message and I use this piece as an example of a well founded image. You may disagree with that and I cannot argue with anything you might say to defend your work and what it says about you, it's your art and that who it should matter most to.

But I will say your art has never really evolved in any meaningful way. You seem to draw the same thing over and over again and never seem to challenge yourself too much. I do not claim to be a great artist but I always try to do something new and I pick at every detail, maybe not while I work but certainly after it's all said and done. Often I look at my work and just think it's just all terrible. You can never stop improving but you can settle and that is something you should never do.

I would suggest for no that you do things that are simple. Pick up a pencil and draw on a napkin. I feel you're trying to run without having first learned how to properly stand up tall. If you wish to improve or receive approval from you peers you must really consider reinventing yourself, if anyone thinks what you're doing is wrong then there must be a bit of truth to it even if you can't see it. You must probe it to find out why even if you don't like what you find. When the good out weights the bad is when you can ignore the bad, but should you really?

I leave you with a question, not that I want an answer to it, but rather to give you a thought to consider.

Do you think your art is good?

Rennis5 responds:

i get what you mean and you do have some good points and some pointless comments, first of all age has nothing to do with anything but i like the idea of thinking outside the box and getting a fresh perspective, it has been a long time since i havn't used my tablet to draw something so that probably is a bad thing.
i think i just need to sort out my process a bit better and stop being so impatient,

but this is all kind of off the subject, you'r just talking about my art, i didn't draw this picture because i was offeneded about my art being attacked, i see it on other peoples art too, so i always click the 5 to kill the 0

and yeah, i like most of my art coz some of them are a lot harder to make then what some people realise and the harder ones have some meaning to me
but in general i would say that my art isn't great but i think my art is decent for the effort i put into it and i'm happy with some of them and others i'm not too happy with

Sad but true!

Happy B-day America!

Very Nice Character.

Excellent use of colors and you just gotta love those curves. It's very much full of life and character. I really like It!

As for a name... I don't know Violet.

Maybe Ultra Violet.

Well, the face is nice.

But the something about the proportions is off. Well for sure the breast are too high on her chest. The need to be much lower, it just looks weird that way. Also I don't agree with the dress, it's not very flattering on her. It makes her look like a block of wood especially since her shoulders are so square.

It doesn't look bad, the colors and everything is nice... I guess you could say It's just not what I would have done.

Tom's all like....

"Go Get em' PICO!"

Lol Nice job!

Holy FECK!

Now that is just Epic! Probably one of the best Darth Vader Fan arts I've ever seen.

Pat yourself on the back my good friend!.

Excuse me, Sir?

Do you have the time?

*Cane cracks your head open*

"WHAT DO YOU THINK, BOY!?"

To give you some constructive criticism the hands and arms look weird. You need to work on that.

Psychojester53 responds:

Haha alright, I agree, I think I screwed up there. Thanks for the review.

HOLY MACAROINI!

Can't wait to see the finished version! :D

Very Cool!

PinkPigtails responds:

thank you^^ Ive been working on this drawing for EVER! So I hope to have it done in the next week or so.

The street of new york...

It's exactly like that! :D

My only problem with this the plain white background, I'd be nice to see exactly is impeding his forward swinging. But other then that Nicely Done!

Needs work.

Well fist of all he looks like he's floating above image despite there being a shadow. The background doesn't make any sense, there no distortion on it to indicate depth. Now the body is OK except for the face and hand with the orb.

The hand looks weird, the fingers are to low and too short compared to the index finger and thumb.

For the head he doesn't have any indention indicating the cheek bones which looks very weird since you gave his chin so much detailed and were is the other eye? Also the jaw line doesn't make sense with the angle of his head and the overall shape of it. and I think the ear is too small.

Other then that the shading and colors on him are very nice but sadly the same can not be said about the background as you left it flat and textureless.

You got a lot to work on but there is potential there, just keep practicing and you'll get better in no time.

Sorry, Hentai-Foundry's approval process put me in anatomy whore mode.

CurlyWeirdo responds:

WATEVER...-____-"
