Hello, it took me awhile to get myself to sit down and actually write this. (I'm not particularly fond of writing long comments XD) I'll focus on the art side because I wouldn't know what to say character-wise. I'd like to start out with points of improvement!

- I noticed a lot of your artworks present characters facing directly forward. Usually, people don't directly stare at the camera (as if they're staring into your soul o_o) unless they're posing for a picture. Even then, the face shouldn't be completely vertical.Β 

Β Here these characters are obviously engaging in a fun activity. However, they are staring directly at the viewer. How I would change it is to draw the eyes of kids by the fence like this:

Β Pupils would be more down as it would show that the children are looking at the shattered pot and not at the audience.Β 

As for the girl, her pose doesn't really suggest she's throwing.Β

Something like these. Throwing often involves a lot of weight on one foot and the shoulders will not be completely horizontal in this case. I don't know a lot about gesture drawing but I recommend learning about line of action and doing some figure drawings. They're pretty fun!

www.lovelifedrawing.com/introd… (I haven't finished the course yet so I can't say if it's good or not but at least it's a place to start! C

- I really love how you drew your background. I can tell how much thought of you put into looking like the characters would walk and live in the backdrop. It's more than a backdrop! It's a snapshot of a bigger world! Β 
Β  Β 
These landscapes have this sort of whimsical feel to it and it makes me want to hop into that world just to run around in the scenery. This kind of world very fitting for our farmgirl Danni XD

To be honest, I should pay more attention to my backgrounds next time XDDD

Hello! I got you as one of my IMHO allotments for OC-Training! So let's get started

I really love your world-building, it's really cool. I'm curious as to what kinds of experiments were done on the magic users in Namarin.
Thalia is a really interesting character, I can't wait to hear more about her story! (keep catching up! We behind people gotta stick together )

I would love to see you try more dynamic poses, and specifically try some foreshortening. It can be really difficult but try experimenting with it, I think it would really help your art. One think in particular I've noticed is feet. A lot of the time if you have drawn the feet pointing forward, the character looks almost like they're floating because you show to much of the top of the foot. So work on that

I love your choices of color, it's very pretty and a nice combination of muted and deep colors. Do you use markers? If so, you're very good with them. I commend anyone who can color (and shade!) with markers.

Keep up the good work!

Drayah In reply to Certain-Oddities [2019-01-11 19:12:19 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much for your insights! Β 

I never even thought about the feet! Thanks for letting me know! I'll do my best to work on more dynamic posing!

Yeah I use markers and watercolors, sometimes both together in the same piece to get different effects. Thanks! Β
