Greetings ! I'm one of your partners for the critique taskΒ  Β 


First off I really like your character Tatiana's design :3 her blue hair and cute sense of style/fashion make her fun to see in your drawings ! I for one would really enjoy learning more about her culture and world.


You seem to have a pretty good grasp of basic human anatomy but one thing that you might want to work on a little when drawing the human figure is facial portions. I see that your art has a bit of an anime style too and this unfortunately makes it harder to perfect how to draw faces sometimes (from my experience anyway). This has helped me quite a bit when drawing themΒ  Β Β 


On the other hand you can draw expressions really well (which a LOT of people really struggle withΒ  Β  ).

I also really like you characters different outfits, they are designed really well !Β 



The only other thing that I can think of is about backgrounds. I have trouble all of the time coming up with backgrounds and ways to fill up space in my drawings and it is really a painΒ  Β Β but a little but of background can go a long way. I have found that the best way to show other people my story's world and characters is to draw them in it. It can really help by just designing where they live and how they live there.

Let's say you draw a character wearing their work clothes, you can draw a simple not-super detailed background of their workplace, their neighbor hood while they are walking home, or it could just be them flopping onto their bed after getting home. Its really fun to just sit and brain storm about background/world ideasΒ Β 



Keep up the good work ! can't wait to see more of TatianaΒ

Yeah I know that I need to work on my face proportions.
I'll admit; I started out with chibi when I started drawing, so I became accustomed to big eyes and cute faces. I'm working on that.

And yeah; backgrounds are a pain A lot of time, I don't think about where my characters ARE; I just think about what they're doing. I have an easier time thinking of a new character than I do designing a room. I'll work on that some more too...

Overall, thanks :huggles: Nice to know I don't totally suck in my amateur endeavors

When I first started out I did nothing but my little pony stuff and anime and it made me have trouble later on so I understand, it gets easier tho so don't worry Β 

of course you don't suck ! I still have things that I need to work on too :3

Hey there! I'm here for the critique task in

I've gotten to know your characters throughout past roundsΒ and I've teamed up with you in the past. I've always enjoyed working with you and drawing your characters. You express such wonderful personalities through simple textsΒ and descriptions on your artwork. And that can be difficult over the internet. I also love the more your characters go through the training, the more people love them. Like how I wasn't sure at all about Tatianna and her personality. But now I think she's awesome.
I love the expressions you give her. I can always tell what your characters are thinking.Β I think you do great with clothes as well. I enjoyed admiring her dresses in the wardrobe task.
You've got this really great simplistic chibiΒ style that conveys exactly what you want. And it works well! I think the body task was drawn wonderfully. I still struggle with the whole torso section.

Something to work on for future? Backgrounds. They are super evil. But I would LOVE to learn more about their world. What kind of furniture is popular? What do the trees look like? What kind of animals roam around? What part of the world are they in? What pictures do they hang up on their wall, if any? Go all out. I would love to see Tatianna immersed in something extravagant to match her personality. I know you have mentioned it through responses to people's questions and through your descriptions. But showing it in the pictures would really stand out to a passer-by who visits your gallery and wants to take interest.

Keep up the great work! You're doing great and I can't wait to see what scares and angers Tatianna!

I find it ironic that I'm so good at expressions when I'm deadpan half the time in real life

It helps that I'm the same sex as my character I can just look at my body and alter it a little (smaller hips and breasts since Tatiana is younger than me). Boys are harder for me It doesn't help that most of my family is girls...Β 

I'll admit; I started out with drawing chibi because I had bad friends back then who would make fun of my attempts at manga. Chibi was something they didn't want to draw because they thought it looked stupid, so I switched to that. It's been a long process shifting from chibi to regular manga style I still see the resemblances between the styles...

I will also admit, Tatiana's world is under SERIOUS reconstruction It used to be a lot like our world, except with magic, but now I'm trying to create lands and cultures that are uniquely my own creation. It's a little annoying, but it's also really fun doing all the research from locations and cultures all around the world. All I'm keeping the same (for now) is that she lives in an area that doesn't get very hot summers but gets pretty freezing in the winters.
But yeah, I need to work on backgrounds either way.

Her anger is a lot simpler than her fear She's 13, so she's SUPER self-conscious and a lot of times, the smallest thing can set her off.Β

Hey, you wanna partner up for OC-Training's crossover task? Β The number of people available is rather limited....

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SilkyLoaf In reply to pheeph [2017-01-30 00:09:29 +0000 UTC]

Sure
Sorry; I'm not on dA much with all this junk going on at home
My little sister is still missing and sometimes it's a fight to get out of bed and go to classes.

So what would you like our OCs to do? I notice Tristan likes being a DJ. Maybe he could play some tunes and Camille could sing?
Or maybe Camille could help Tristan build his robots by bringing him the heavier pieces and holding them in place to be drilled/welded? It would count as physical training and, honestly, he likes making himself useful.
