Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Day at the Beach]

Simple, well executed, nice job! I'm glad to see you trying different things such as clipping masks from that tutorial I made. For a beginner you're doing really well, keep doing what you're doing and keep yourself motivated and you'll see improvement comes quite quickly! This piece is decent, it effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

[Cyb is on the loose!]

That's one outlandish character design! A bit simplistic overall but the pose is ambitious and well done. Keep up the good work!

[Scowl of Faces]

A nice surrealist piece, though I have trouble determining your style and skill level through looking at the image - perhaps that's one of the interesting things about it. This piece is decent, it effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. The linework is in need of improvement, nothing major, it just lacks solidity in areas and is a bit rough, though it suits the style in most places. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

[fatty]

This piece is decent, it effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. The linework is in need of improvement, nothing major, it just lacks solidity in areas and is a bit rough. Stylistically is where this piece shines, a unique feel all together with good use of color and detail. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

[Bunny hell]

This piece is decent, it effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Be wary of misrepresenting your image - no matter how much work you put into it, if it's not properly optimized, a traditional image that isn't properly transferred into the digital format will look worse than it could, which is a shame to the work put into the image. I've created a video tutorial on addressing this issue, feel free to check it out on youtube (/watch?v=gJrgnxKehso). Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

[Mirana]

Miranaaaaaa! The background environment you've got here is simple, but appropriate, and much better than excluding a background all together like many other pieces I see seem to do. Your painting quality/style is really solid, smoothe and visually apprealing. You have a good grasp of your technique and know how to make your work stand out with it. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. Keep it up!

[GameGrumps: Season One]

Good ol Game Grumps! This piece is decent, it effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. Your linework here, while appropriate, lacks style. The most effective way to create a good visual sense of style with linework is to work with more organic shaped, and to vary the linework thickness throughout. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

Woa :D thanks Jazza for this hoinest and truly nice critique i have just begun taking up painting and trying my best to pick up my english a little more but its hard thou even thou i use it as much as i can it can still be hard to explain what i want to say correctly. As my writing and spelling skills isnt so good as they used to be a few years back. I will still try to use it more.

I know i shouldn,t ask for revivews from you but i wanted to at least try to get an awnser to perhaps pick my motivation up even more to continue drawing even thou it feels hard i know that if i want to become as good as i want i must learn and let it take time.

PS. Thanks again for making this review. You made me Really happy that you took YOUR precius time doing it. IF i can help you in any way just send a pm To me and i will help you as best i can.

[Hey arnold]

HEY ARNOLD! Nice use of color and lighting, simple overall but really crisp. This piece is decent, itl effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Your image could be improved with more work on the environment, there isn't much happening here to compliment the piece. You might not need to add too much, but something simple to help balance the colors and lighting would significantly compliment your piece. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

[ShadowOfDarkrai]

Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. The coloring of this piece lacks clarity, the overall feel is murky, which could be aleviated with more intense lighting and contrast, parhaps some rim lighting. This piece is decent, itl effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Keep up the effort, and thanks for sharing your work with me!

Thank you for reviewing my art and for giving me an honest opinion. Your comment turned out blank, but I saw you explain that in your newest showcase. This is my newest digital artwork, I'm still getting use to drawing digitally and have had no proper art/design teacher. I don't have Photoshop yet cause I'm broke as hell, I made this in Paint.net, best I can afford right now. But giving me 2.5 Stars tells me you gave me an honest opinion, and I really needed that. Hope you get that commenting error fixed soon, and expect to see more work from me, I'll improve eventually
