Topic: What Do You Think Of My Art, Dood? ╹‿╹)

Posted under Off Topic

If you ever find yourself asking this, Don't worry!
Everyone has been there and you're not alone in this kinda question.
No need to be self-conscious since when it really gets down to it,

It's not only that art is subjective, another peeps bad is another's good,
and It's not about what other's think of your art.
It's about what You think about your art. Learn to love it,
If others don't then that's their problem, Not yours. ╹‿╹)

Though keep in mind that art isn't a place, it's a journey! So keep on
striving and refining what you do, Dood! Challenge yourself, take notes-

and!

All that said,
Been meaning to ask you dood this!
Have you seen me around and if so,
what are your thoughts on my doodles, Dood?

I think the best kind of art, is the one that you yourself look over and over again and enjoy it... enjoye because you simple like it, or because you enjoy remember the good moments of fluid action or concentration, or feelings of hope while your were doing it.

I didn't commented yet what you last told me in the theme of excercise routines, but for the moment, I want to tell you that I concord with you... both with this and that.

"and!"

Man... the ending message of that good movie, also made me cry...

If you are asking for your participations in the forum, I enjoy them very much. I like people that think out of the box, takes risks, and make some sites more interesting.

=).

If you are asking about your art, I would say that you are extremely prolific and work very hard... (I liked some of them that will enter my favorites)... and I suppose that if you are so prolific, is because you enjoy a lot what you do. However as a well ment critic, I would like to see more evolution, since your first doodles are similar to the 500th ... 600th... and even, in the first designs, seems like you tried things that do not appear in the ones that followed.

PS.

Have no problem to admit that you make like 10 times better furries that I did when tried to draw, like 10 years ago. My drawings didn't survived here for long... xD.

Hiya, Dood! ◠‿╹)~★

Well said, m8, Well said~!
Pieces that you can come back to and just smile at are real treasures~!

I'm so glad to hear that m8! I really do believe in you and know that you can definitely change things for the better!

Some splendid notes, m8, Thanks!

You're absolutely right, I do enjoy what I do a fair bit but that's not the only reason I'm as prolific as I am, ╹‿╹)
I wanna be a super prolific animator and comic maker one day and to be that I'm gonna have to learn
my style in and out, Dood, so I can make animation after animation and comic after comic!
Doodling at the speed of sound, ya know? ◠‿╹)~★

In a way, this kinda explains why my doodles seemingly evolve so slowly.
Putting all my eggs into improving my fundamentals before improving body detailing directly.
Going on the principle that refining the core doesn't only improve once work overtime
but improves speed, detail, and overall quality too. with the caveat that the results aren't
as immediate as the speed, you'll be making 'em!╹‿╹)

(In a way it's like working out but in Art Form, Dood, Build muscle with constant practice!◠‿◠)

Saw a couple ◠‿╹)~★
Dooooooood~!
You should have more confidence in yourselves! Your work was fantastic and well worth the praise and respect of any artist!
◠‿◠)

I like your art, it’s simple but also kinda fun and whimsical. The characters are all very cartoony, it’s like they were plucked right out of a way too sexy children’s cartoon. It’s hard to look at your work without thinking of you and your personality, you have a very happy bubbly personality and it shows in your art

Whoa, Wasn't expecting that kinda kindness, Dood, Can't tell ya how much I appreciate it!
And such an interesting take too, Never saw my doodles in that light before and, I can't
begin to tell ya how awesome it was to hear that you could see my personality through my
work, Dood! ◠‿╹)~★

(Don't worry, Not getting a big head or anything, Got a country mile to go before I reach the first step to achieving my dreams artistically ╹‿╹)
Just really appreciate this comment and the commentators kindness, ya know? ◠‿◠)

hmm...smooth lines, good facial expressions, the cartoony aspect hits it off with my inner child that never shuts the fuck up about classic cartoons, the body structures look like they're progressing in the right direction, I noticed signs of vast improvement comparing your earlier work with your most recent work, I can see you established a theme to your work that you're comfortable with which is good, there is still room for improvement but from what I've seen that won't be a problem for you.

I see, icey, Thanks for the feedback dood!
I gotta tighten up that bodywork and while I got a style I'm more than happy with,
there's still a lot of room for improvement with the core of the style itself. Improvement
that will come along as long as I keep on doodling~!

Truly rock-solid advice for any artist if you don't mind me saying, Dood!
◠‿╹)~★

Edit: P.S
Honored that my work strikes a chord with ya, I appreciate it!
◠‿◠)~★

The art is good. Very consistent style. I think more detailed lighting and shading could add more 3d depth to the pieces and make them seem less flat. A few pieces with more dramatic foreshortening and use of perspective as well

The anatomy and proportions look good, and the poses look realistic

post #3178436
This guy's right foot (our left) should have the heel raised off the ground. His right leg seems longer than the left right now. It looks a bit like the back of the foot might be raised, so this one just needs the front of the foot to continue the plane of the back.

post #3283166
This guy's left leg (our right) seems noticeable longer than his right leg(our left). His pose should either need his hips to center themselves between the legs, or to bend one of his legs to be made. Adding some abs would add to the broad shoulders and defined pec seen higher.

post #3268320
His right pec(our left) seems like it's smaller than his left pec(our right) I would make its lower boundary go a little lower to fill out more. Or maybe he just has asymmetric pecs(I do, myself). "Perpose" should be spelled "purpose". "Proudly", "Perpose", and "Protection" should not be capitalised. Nouns are not capitalised in English, only proper nouns(the man, named Paul.) I know some languages, like German, capitalise all nouns. Are you German?

post #3265901
His heels seem as if they are twisted in a different plane that his hips and shoulders. His right leg and heel(our left) should be moved forward just a bit. His left foot should probably be drawn too. The pose seems a little awkward as is.

post #3252175
His thigh seems thicker than the shiny part of the bomb he's sitting on. That's fine, but his body should be brought forward a bit(visually, to our right, and a little higher), as it looks like he's a little recessed into the bomb, rather than sitting on top. The shading on his pecs implies a light coming from a higher angle than the lighting on the rest of his body. The lighting on the tail of his hood doesn't look like it's coming from any direction. The tail of his hood should have the light/dark areas reversed if the light is coming from the front, or be entirely dark if it's behind his head relative to the light source.

Alrighty~!
Can't thank you enough for replying and commenting on what I do, Dood!
And going into such detail too!

Thanks and great point, Lighting can be tricky
as you can see in my work with it being pretty
wonky at times. That said, A good shine and
Shade is key to improving the depth of, not
just mine but any piece, m8. Practice makes
perfect, With each piece, your understanding
of the dynamics of it improves that much more.

Don't feel bad about making mistakes, embrace
them since that's the fastest way of fixing and
improving, Dood!

Yeah, that one bugged me for the longest
time once I've noticed it haha!
◠‿◠)

What I learned:
When the other foot or anything else hides a
vital part of another part of the body you gotta
go that extra mile to make it work even more!
Support the support, ya know? Pull the foot
back and don't just make that heel say hello
but make it the star of the show, Dood!

How I applied the lesson:
post #3248189

Not only is Jack Dragon's Heel covered by Raz but,
almost his entire lower body! Tackled this problem
the way I always wanted to tackle Clockworks, By
bringing more attention and detail to the areas you
can see, bolstering those features like the legs
placement, underwear, pants and so on. So that
the missing piece is a piece no longer needed, ya know?

Not quite m8 and I'm to blame for that one.
First time doodling a peep thrusting their hips forward solo,
I was fated to fall for its main pitfall. Keep the two legs
together less one leg look bigger than the other. While
a shame that I found out this rule after, It was still a ton
of fun making this piece!
◠‿╹)~★

What I learned:
Hips are super important when it
comes to leg placement, m8!
╹‿╹)

post #3285392

The Masked Mutt's legs are much more closely tied
to his hips, With leg proportion all the better because
of it, Dood!

You're totally right m8, Still working on the briefs breastplate
design and how it should interact on a curved surface.
At the moment it leans on the right pec(our left).

As for the capitalizations, It's my unique way of adding
power to a word, in particular, Dood
◠‿╹)~★

What I learned:
Polish up your curves and dimension work.
Centering is key to keeping it all in balance, Dood!
╹‿╹)

How I applied the lesson:
post #3282289

The Boss's scale pattern is the perfect practice for getting
down how curved surfaces work. Certainly on panel 3 (4)
where his pecs would be at the perfect angle for me to
get down exactly what I wanted!

Yup, Heels are definitely a tricky pickle for me, Getting the
dimensions right with those blocks have always been a
tough one! Oh and don't worry about the foot, Was shooting
for a "V" foot stance with Dooder. the foot wouldn't have been
seen here since its pointed at the viewer, Dood
◠‿╹)~★

What I learned:
Draw the heel as apart of the foot from the
word go instead of freehanding it down the
road, m8
╹‿╹)

How I applied the lesson:
post #3283166

Drew his feet with his shoes in mind from the start
so that the shoe would be a lot more organic to the
peep instead of existing in a different dimension,
Dood!

And this Doods is why you always make a Ray instead
of eyeballing it and highlighting the parts you like in
the way you wanna highlight 'em.
T‿T)

Lighting makes a world of difference to the careful eye.
Not to say you can't mix it up but be aware you could
lose some definition, Dood
◠‿╹)~★

What I learned:
Make a light source and stick to it like glue!
╹‿╹)

How I applied the lesson:
post #3256109

Having so many shots and from so many different
angles, Shading became the name of the game and
I had all day to play. It's still not quite there yet but
it's definitely coming along, Dood!
╹‿╹)~★

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to not only
review my work but to suggest such great points of
improvement! I Really mean it, m8!
