[Sleepy Head]

Teddy

-It looks like i'm a little late to the party and several of the active people in the request club got here and gave their critique-ings before I even thought to start reviewing anything. But alas i'll still do my best to try and mention stuff and help you out on improving in your artistic style.

-Your drawing style has stayed pretty consistent with the simple character style and not too much in the background. It's nice to see something that's just a little simple and not too over the top on detail. Great for a picture in a kid's storybook but missing the actual story written somewhere. Some of the colors are a bit fuzzy and it would be great if you could clear that up in future pieces.

ok sure...also TEEEEDY

[Eat Eat Eat]

Nice

It's not all that often that I come to the art portal and there is something that makes me laugh and isn't all seriously drawn. It's a pretty cool .gif about the cycle of life. I enjoy how the smaller one never expects to be eaten but inevitable is. Keep up the good work.

[Woman]

Woman

-I really like how you did the centerpiece of the woman in pencil. It allows for those nice fine details with some smudging for emphasis on depth of the woman. It also shows a stark contrast to the background that was made in flash which is more colorful.

-The woman actually looks pretty good considering it isn't your usual style. Everything seems to be in proportion at a glance and the lack of toes isn't anything to glare at as a fault. Overall it just pops out at you and looks really nice.

Awesome!!! THAAAANKSSS!!!
And actually, I tried to draw the toes, but they just looked horrible, so I left it that way.

[Mr. Monocle]

Nice and simple

-It's pretty simple but it seems to get the job done for me. You included a background for Mr. Monocle and he's waving at us viewers. Some shading and depth coloring was incorporated and it looks almost 3D but it's still not there. You'll improve in time though.

-Character desing is alright and nothing too fancy(except for the monocle). I would of liked this to of been more clean and crisp. The coloring is all over the place and it takes away from the quality of the drawing.

i purposely put the coloring like that

[Land of the Walking Plants]

Nice

-Interesting concept to say the least. If plants did actually start walking in my front yard I would think I was tripping on something. Plants don't usually walk and are quite content with their spot that they live and put down roots. I don't see any reason why they would want to change their minds and move from place to place unless there was more light in a certain area. Quite the imaginary environment that you put together though. It reminds me a lot of Dr. Seuss books and how random the environment would be.

-There are some nice details in the drawing but it tends to look a little blurry in spots since you used colored pencils to draw and color this for the most part. I can't really tell if you sketched it first or not. I like the wide variety of colors used and this just adds to the imaginary design of the environment.

Merol responds:

It's a picture about plants that walk in a magical world where water floats... and you are trying to find a sense to it???
THANKS A LOT!!! and yes, I sketched it first (also, if a plant do actually start walking in front of me, I would think it is pretty cool and disturbing).

[Even trolls need a leader!]

Troll!

-I like the way that you portrayed the troll leader or king or whatever exactly you want to call him. His size shows that while he isn't all that big in stature he excells at doing exactly what he does(evoking anger through his words). Drawing him large would of just felt a little silly to me so I think you made a great choice in the size of him. A larger crown would of been cool to show his bloated ego better though.

-His scruffy followers show nice symbolism in how finely tuned the leader is compared to the rest. They will need to practice their trolling skills before they can even be compared to him. I really enjoyed this fine piece of work and how you layed it out.

Thanks for the review and I'm really sorry for the late reply, I'm glad you liked it and it would be better if the crown was bigger I'll see what I can do about that one. Thanks again for the great review.
