How good are they?

I tried to look at them, but the web-blocker won't allow me to access deviantArt. Maybe post them as attachments?

If you're not gonna use a scanner to upload things on dA, I would suggest placing the piece of art on a flat surface in a very bright room - then cover your flash or turn it off and take a picture of it from a direct, straight-on angle.

This will make it much easier to view.

I love the hand one! Hands are very difficult things to draw - I find them more difficult than any other part of the body - but yours looks lovely.

Very nice!

These are really nice. I have so much trouble drawing hands and feet, even when I'm looking at my hand so I SHOULD know where all the bends, wrinkles, etc. go in the fingers and I still can't get them to look right!

Oil pastels are awesome. I especially like them for drawing landscapes because they blend so well. You should try that--you have a lot of potential.

Well, I'm not good at art, but I'll try my best.

Foot- This was a bit hard to see because of the angle the picture was taken at. Apart from that, I thought the actual foot was a bit fat considering the size of the leg. It just didn't seem right.

Hand- This was really good. It really looked like a hand and I liked the brush it was holding, although I think it would look better if the brush was straighter.

Sunset- I like the hand, but I don't think blue and purple were the right colours to use for a sunset.

Great work!

Good technical skills, but the blending and smoothness of the pastels have a lot to be wanted. They're pastels, don't be afraid to mix them around.

I don't have a blending tool. I tried to blend some of the colors in the sunset but they kinda didn't blend.

One minute and I'll try to get up a flatter pic of the foot.

And I'll try and get them posted on photobucket for those who can't get into d-art.

hey, i saw the first one a foot right? anyway it was just ok, maybe you could but the drawing on a darker back ground?

the hand, ahh the hand well what can i say? i didn't like this one personally because it look a little deformed, but thats ok you can add to it to make it look more shaped

and the last drawing, i loved this one yes it was only a hand but it was my favorite to look at because of the yellow streaks coming from it it looked like a magic hand.


after that crit you are probably saying what a horrible crit, you would be right because i don't crit art very often and i thought i would give it a go, so sorry if it didn't help

keep making art o_0

Hey, here's my foot again. It's flatter. and I hope it doesn't look fat. That's my foot.
