sixflab's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[All My Characters]

Nice collection

Nice collection of all of the characters that you have created. About 25, I tried counting but it's hard to keep track. I haven't seen too many of your works but that's no reason not to enjoy this one. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put all of them onto one picture.

Lol thank you for the review. Yeah this picture took a while, i don't know i counted about 26 anime girls but then again there are a lot. Haha. :D

[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).

[P-Bot Working]

Hmm

-I think it's a good piece at showing kind of what P-Bot does but it needs a lot of work to show exactly what P-Bot does around the site. He is just standing there and having him do some sort of action would improve this dramatically.

-It's a little hard to tell exactly what is happening to the submissions since the specific little squares are a little small and too numerous. Having just a few higher detailed flash pieces would look better.

-The coloring looks like it was done with colored pencils or crayons and wasn't done with much detail and was quickly colored over and put up. It looks rather kiddy quality and using something that fills in better and doesn't leave uneven colors would be much better.

[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.

Mabelma responds:

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.

[Post-Industrial Waste]

Nice and simple

-Once again i'm going to be picky and say that the lack of a background takes away from the picture. It does leave you to wander in your own imagination about what exactly you were doing or where exactly you were at the moment that this self portrait was taken though. But back to where I was some background details would dramatically improve these sketches.

-You did a good job again with the fine details but parts around your chin I can't tell the difference between facial hair and shadows since the pencil strokes look pretty much the same. Everything looks close enough to lifelike that little mistakes shouldn't be frowned upon but be looked at as something that you can improve upon on future works and see how you improve over time at picking out mistakes before you finish.

[Hayley]

Nice sketch

-Ooh, a stenciled piece of sorts. I much prefer these to colored drawings since you can really work in the fine details and work on the much more simple things too. While very simplistic in color scheme it makes up for it so much in the fine art department which I think you did an excellent job with.

-It looks like you just did this as a first draft sketch since not really any background detail was used but it does put more focus on the girl in the picture. Facial details are well done and are very precise in my opinion. Her persistence allowed you to work on something that I think you should pursue more. You are a fine sketch artist.

I thought a scheme was a terribly evil plan.
