[The Smart One]

Nice

-It's definitely one of the more detialed pieces of art that you've done and I really like when you do this portrait type of drawing since it allows you to work on facial expressions. It's nice to experiment with all of the different things you can convey with miniscule changes. I've kind of grown on this sloppy style also. You do a pretty good job with it quite honestly.

-While it does show that you don't care too much for keeping inside the lines and conforming to standards it does show that you like to have fun with what you draw. Nice color combination on his jacket with some shading touches. Background seems a bit bright and plain though. Overall it's pretty good and it seems like you are improving.

[Fatty McGee]

Fatty McGee

-This definitely tickled my funny bone just a little. Not because he is fat but that he is wearing a shirt a couple of sizes too small with the word "Food" on it. It's just a little ironic that a shirt like that would be too small. It must mean that he is a lot fatter than I can tell.

-It also looks like he is feeding the sun some of the chocolate bar because he is holding his arm out and the sun's cheeks look like he has food in his mouth. Just a couple of things that I noticed.

-Still could use some work on the coloring but the lines look smoother in this picture than in some of the previous ones where they are squiggly. But this is one of the better pictures overall.

[John Lennon]

John Lennon

-This is a lot more detailed and less cartoony than some of the previous art pieces that i've seen you make. I like that you made a tribute and you did a pretty decent job with it.

-His face look's a bit uneven and the lines are a bit rough though. Maybe have a sketch or basic structure done and then work off of that for better results. Coloring still has issues also since it's sloppy and the shading seems to be a little off compared to the facial features.

-Still it's a good tribute and i'd like to see you make more works like this since it will allow you to practice on the facial area of your other full body drawings.

[Sleepy Head]

-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.

[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.
