Critiques are well appreciated

Hello there
This sketch is really really good. I like them a lot. It's just pure talent. I mean, the shading is excellent, I wish I could shade like that or shade period. The picture is cute and I give it an overall thumbs up. Great job. Keep drawing hey

Hey there! Wow this is really good! Way better than I could do. I really like your shading, especially in the trees. There are only a few things I want to point out.

1. Katniss' nose. It looks rather large, and flat and even a bit crooked. I can't remember if maybe it's supposed to look like that or not. If it looks like it's supposed to, then don't change a thing.

2. Katniss' bow and quiver. I suggest you take a look at an actual bow and quiver in order to draw these. The quiver looks giant, and is up a lot higher on her back than I think it should be. Also, the bow looks a bit longer on one end than the other. I'd have to look at an actual bow and quiver to be sure as well, but they strike me as odd looking.

3. Rue. Her side of the drawing is rather dark (though I'm assuming that has to do with the scanner you have). Also her higher hand on the tree seems to me that it's at an unnatural angle for how she would be standing. Just a slight adjustment would make it look right, though.

Well that's all I have to say. I'm no art expert, so I hope I wasn't completely ridiculous in my review. It is a very good drawing! Keep at the art!

Hey, kidashka. How's your day been going? Well anyways, you probably don't need any intros on who I am and what I'm here to do, so I'll just get started.

Pros:

-Katniss' hair is beautiful. I like how it seems a bit shiny and I love the wavy texture it has. *wishes that I had Katniss' hair*
-Great job on proportions.
-I like the shading on the trees (and other textures), and how the trees still manage to not stand out much as Katniss and Rue.
-Love the jeans.

Cons:


-Katniss' nose. In my opinion, it looks like a dragon's nostrils, lol, especially since her nostril lines are totally slanted. Also, her nose is a bit too wide.
-Position. Katniss' seems very stiff. Is she supposed to be dangling from a tree? Because it looks like she's sitting on something invisible. I don't think that someone who is dangling from something would be in that position.

Overall:

Well done, again! The biggest problem is only her position. But naturally, drawing realistic dangling positions is very hard.

Keep up the good work! Hope I helped-

Haha, Katniss' nose is officially deemed strange I think the lines on it are too heavy; on another drawing I got asked for stronger lines so I went a tad overboard And I suck mostly at noses anyhow...

...The quiver is quite high actually, isn't it?! xD

Thanks for all comments!

This is beautiful I fail epically (for the most part) at humans, so this is very good! Probably the thing I love most, and that immediately caught my eye, is Katniss's feet. I know, right? xD They're just so smooth and beautiful :3 You've got quite an eye for anatomy

Other than Katniss's nose, which you've already noticed xD, the only other thing I can see that's off is her hand - the one that's around the tree. It looks kinda like it's limp, like it's not really hanging on to the tree.

Other than that, it's a beautiful picture! I would love to see it in color ^^ Keep up the wonderful work

Sorry, I've spent so long shading it that it would practically kill me to rub the shading out for colour. So no

Hey there, kidashka, and welcome to YWS!

Yeah, I think a lot of things are left better shaded instead of colouring them. =] Anyways, I think you did pretty good for the most part. I wouldn't have been able to do nearly as good, haha. I think Rue would look a bit better if the shading wasn't so dark there, and all the hands except for the one holding the bow could be improved. But like I said, it's nice for the most part.

Keep it up, and let me know if you need anything. =]

Hey kidashka, CaptianRandom here,

I loved these drawings. I love the Hunger Games and i thought your drawings were accurate and detailed enough so that the viewer can really get an idea of what the story would have been like. I loved how you did Rue behind the tree, it shows that she is a shy, sneaky type of tribute, and how Katniss was swinging from one tree to another.

I loved these pictures and i hope to see if you have done any more Hunger Games pictures and more of your work, KEEP IT UP
