Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ri]

HOLY SHI- I'm adding you, and this picture, to my favorites. I'm keeping an eye on you from now on. Your painting style is inspirational, both environmental and character. Your use of colors and lighting, the texture in the shading, the atmosphere and aesthetic of the image, it all imaginative and fantastically well executed. I have nothing bad to say about this, and envy many things you've done in this painting I wish I could do myself. KEEP IT UP. FOR GOD'S SAKE.

AtTheSpeedOf responds:

Thanks, so much!

[Elementals Cover]

Very effective! I like the different textures and stylistic lines you use. I can tell this image has at least some form of tracing going on, which is good while you're learning, but don't be afraid to break away from it, you'll feel a bit alone in it at first but you'll learn fast. You obviously have talent, keep it up!

Xander120 responds:

Thanks Jazz!! I've been trying to get into drawing without tracing for awhile and I think I'm slowly getting to the hang of it :) Made my first digital painting last night following one of your tutorials :P
Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely keep it up as long as you keep up the vids!! Big fan XD

[Deadpool's Beast mode is on!]

You're showing some very great improvement. Your lighting and coloring, proportions, shading and anatomy are all the best I have seen in your work so far! Keep up the great work, see how you go working in things like an environment or something involving facial expressions

[The Songbird's Grab]

VERY impressive for your first digital piece, keep it up! The way you shaded the skin and eyes are in particular, very well done. I recommend you work a little more on things lke the environment, otherwise, a great first attempt, thanks for sharing!

[Monster]

This is very well done. The detail and balance is great, though I feel like the creature could be a little more prominently placed. I will also recommend when shading in something that is very yellow (like the creature), to not use colors like transparent blacks to add shade, it makes it look murky and strange. Go for desaturated browns and oranges, with tints of yellow. Black doesn't mix well. Overall though, great job, I look forward to seeing what you do next :)

RistWorks responds:

Thanks Jazza, thats good to hear. I'll try to improve on those points in the future.

[Red Brawler]

Wow, very nice for your age and for your first photoshop picture, keep it up! The form is well done, good linework. I wish you uploaded a higher resolution image though.

johnnydpanda responds:

Thank you you made my day :D

[Darly Dixon]

VERY well done! And for a 15 year old no less, fantastic. You obviously have talent, and I think its in your favor that I was watching the walking dead about 1 hour before reviewing this picture haha. Keep up the great work, the hair looks particularly great, and the eyes. The picture feels like it could be darker though, with less bright contrast, it kind of saps the image of detail. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing

SlothSWAG responds:

Thank you for copliments and advices :)

[Mini-Dovahkiin]

Very cure picture! I like the chibi style, very cool. Wax color sounds interesting I've never tried it. Anyhow nice job! Its hard to make out the detail, and the edges get blurred into each other a bit, but overall you've done well, keep it up

ChocolateCrow responds:

Thanks fpr your feedback, every little helps. :D

[An Angel in the Rain]

You are indeed on the road to progress! The rain is the most distracting part that could use improvement, try looking up videos and pictures with rain in it and drawing with them as referenced in future. Otherwise this picture made me smile, its cute and friendly and fun. Great work, keep it up!

[Draw Me Like One Of Your X-Men]

The title and theme alone made me chuckle. I'd liek if there were a higher resolution version of it so I can see how you drew it and comment in a more informed way, otherwise keep it up, this was entertaining!
