Bryony's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Valentina]

Few minor points, but very realistic.

Proportion is a bit off (between eyes - face is too thin, back line, right shoulder, or lack of), although its tricky drawing from photos because they create an illusion of proportions that real life doesn't. Assuming you're using a photo. Also I'm really unsure as to what's going on with her chest?

I am, of course, being highly critical here, that's just how I review and I wouldn't review you if you weren't very good anyways. Hair is very difficult, looking rather limp here but it looks like that's just the model, the attention to detail there is great. You definitely have awesome shading skill with pencil, I do love the contrasts within the shading that give it a very definitive 3D effect, especially where you've gone really dark. Go even darker and bolder with your shading! I also think you could transfer those skills into watercolour really well.

thanks for reviewing Bryony. Drawing real stuff is some what difficult but what she is holding against her chest is a robe or cloth like thing. it was white in the picture which didnt really show any shading that i could do.i havent really tried water colors out to do portraits but thanks for the advice im Glad you like it and gave it an 8 =].

I'm intrigued

What medium is this? It looks like it could be quite a simple computer piece, i'd like to see something like this in oils or watercolour as some of the angles don't really work. Nevertheless it's a well executed, visually stimulating image with lovely colour tones and shadows.

I don't usually like stuff like this.

But this has a simplicity that I find very calming.

Thanks man!

Fantastic use of colour

And everyone underestimates the power of a sharpie! You're very skilled, would have been nice to see more l/d colour variety so you can really bring out the design.

conundrummer responds:

Thanks I appreciate it. Actually, the limited color range was partially intentional and partially as a result of my lacking any other colors.

[Sphynx]

These cats freak me out!

They look unreal when they move, almost sci-fi - which i totally see in this picture. Great l/d shadow contrast too, gives it lovely realistic texture.

Talented

Lovely brush strokes, very smooth, accurate and varied at the same time. Not the subject matter I'm usually drawn to but you definitely have a great deal of skill to do this with oil.
