Rising Angel

I LOVE it! So much better than anything else I could have drawn.

Things I Think You Need To Improve On-
-the nose. It reminds me more of a snake's nose than a humans.
-the arms. It seems like the angel is feeling awkward and is keeping his arms too close to his sides.

Things I Loved-
-the hair. It looks like it has so much body to it. I'm jealous!
-the gentle jaggedness to it's wings. I'm not sure if that made sense or not....lol

Hi Pacific_Sky! Here I shall be to review!

Let's see. This is nice, very nice. Better then anything *I* could do, but I'll give you a few pointers anyways

Face:

- The hair seems a little flat and dimensionless compared to the rest of the picture. I think you should try to vary the tones a little bit. Judging by the shading on your image, I'm going to assume you have a collections of pencils with a different densities to them (HB, 3B, 9B etc). Use those to your advantage.

- The nose is completely strange. As the reviewer above mentioned it looked snake-like. The dimensions you want: Cut the face through the middle, through the eyebrows. The tip of the nostrils (at the farthest point of the bulge) should roughly line up with where your eyebrows start, as well as the point of your eye. The little triangle nostrils look strange, try making it slightly less geometrical.

- The eyebrow you can see looks a little but off and high to me.

Wings:

- So wings are probably the hardest thing to draw well. If you ask me. Layer of feathers, and sizes and where it starts and stuff is beyond me. But I found a trick for when you are drawing them straight on.

Start by drawing a really rough triangular outline of the wing (like an upside down V) Then from the vertex of that V draw and draw out little lines. Then use those lines as a guideline for your wings. (Man, it made more sense in my head)

Body:

The only problem I see here would be that his shoulders look a little broad compared to the rest of him. But that's really minor.

(Oh, and his hands look weird and crippled)

Hope that was helpful!

Now that you mention it, I spotted about twenty more tihngs wrong with it. Let's play I SPY.!

How did you do that! His face is almost perfect! Kudos to you for doing the impossible!
Now, here comes the critique:
Wings: they don't look very real. The texture is great, but the shape is off. I know they're curved in. But they don't seem to be big enough for him to fly. Also, they're too short and fat. Think, "elegance" when drawing wings. Good job though!

Head: As I said before, it's about perfect. One eye may be a little off, but don't hurt yourself trying to change it.

Upper body: His shoulders seem a little stiff. I see how you have them pushed up because of his hands in his pockets. But it shouldn't look like he just stuck his hands in a pocketful of pudding. XD
Oh, and good job on the arms! No, make that great job!

Lower body: Can't complain much here. Maybe also a little stiff, but otherwise good.

Clothes: Again, how do you do that?! They hang almost perfectly with his body. I love the details and shading on it (that refers to the whole drawing)!

Overall: I envy you so much! I wish my drawing look like that. You seem to have more patience to do the details and shading than I do.
I'd love to see more of your art!

Hey, Pacific_Sky. I'm Kaedee, here to critique your drawing!

Things I Like/Things You Did Well On:

-You did pretty well on proportions overall.
-Simply adore the wings and hair! Well done! Nice techniques.
-I like how this guy is 'rising' diagonally. Nice effect.
-I love the texture for his jeans and shirt.

Things I Didn't Like/Things You Need to Improve On:

-His arms seem a bit odd. I think they're too short, cuz you need to bend your elbows more to reach your pockets.
-The ears seem a bit too big.
-Neck is too thick.
-The guy is sticking his hands into the pockets of his jeans, right? It looks kind of weird down there...I don't know what's going on. For example, it's hard to tell what is part of his hand and what is part of the pockets/jeans.
-Yikes...the nose! Scares me.

Overall:

Nice job! Very creative. Smiley for you:
Hope I helped.

Thanks! :]

Hey Pacific_Sky.

This is a good drawing. Good job.
Here's a quick review:

1.Dimensionalize his hands. As in give us the look that it's inserted in the pocket. Right now, it starts off well, but as it moves down the torso, it looks like a flap of skin; and near the pockets, it's like painted design on the pants. Work on that.

2. Good detailing with hair and wings.

3.Your overall proportions are good, but the legs need to be taken care of. They should be slightly wide at where they start with refernce to the hips you've drawn.

4.Give a little undershading to the collar/hoodie. It'll make it look as if it's on top of the jacket.

Anyway, awesome work. Keep drawing!
Cheers,

Hey there!

Woah, this is really great. Looks like this guy would be a good character for a book!

So, obviously there are things that people have already mentioned such as the nose (slightly Voldemort-like, if you ask me) and the hands (odd.)

The arms are slightly strange. They seem to go behind his body, yet the hands end up at the front. So, yeah, I'd change the dimensions of those!

The dimensions of his body seem a little weird. The bottom half seems a lot thinner than the top half: I think his shoulders are a bit too broad.

I really like your wings, actually. I don't think they're supposed to look realistic, they just look kind of fabulous on him!

But, yeah, most things have been said here!

Great job.

I love this! I kinda have a thing for angels..he looks sorta like one I read in a book...
lol anyways I'm not an artist, so I can't give you a full review. BUT apart from the nose, looks awesome to me!

Hi there,

So as much as I liked this as an overall image, I decided to have a closer look at some of the features and proportions of your work and I have a few improvements that might be handy:

1_ Proportion
The thing I notice is that the arms are a little thin and flow into the hands in an odd sort of way, this is showing that they're slightly out of proportion. To me, I'd suggest that you have a bit of practise drawing collar bones and shoulder bredth so that you can get the right thickness naturally with the arms.

2_ Features
With the face it's very good indeed, but not perfect. It could do with some kind of realism to it and by this I might suggest introducing shading - but keep it surreal. Obviously this image is a reflection of the fantasy genre so it's important not to get too obsessed with realistic feature shading, but I'd definately suggest experimenting with it to introduce some tone levels to your work.

Keep up the beautiful artwork,
~Ben

Ok, now this... I like.

Hello, I'm Paola, at your service. First of all, when I see a title like yours I immediately click on it. So that was the reason for me to review you today. Second, nice work, Pacific. I like the shape of your wings. I don't really know much about art, but I try and get to know it. It's really interesting, the concept... and I hope you have more to show, because I like what you did...

you have big talent keep drawing

it's superb.According to me you don't need to change on anything.
