Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mechanical Expression]

Nice work, I like your shading and your willingness to try new things and challenge yourself. The piece is interesting and well composed, with clear solidity. Some of the shading feels a little cloudy, but that aside you've done very well as always, keep it up!

Nice design visually, and the colors work well together and are solid. The technique is not very refined, and though it seems the style you're going for is more sketchy/concept based, there is a difficult line to balance between that, and sloppy. Keep working on it though, I like the silver-metallic area and how it reminds me of a skull. Good job!

[Caveman]

For your first digital painting you should be VERY proud, great work! Very clean and rich use of colors, good drawing itself too, solid character design and proportions, everything is clean and solid. Very good. Keep up the great work!

[Just a girl]

Not bad, you're off to a good start! The background color is a bad pick though since it appears too flat with the brown of her hair, which isn't shaded in an extreme way to separate it from the brown of the background. Otherwise this is fairly good, decent brushwork on the skin and the eyes are especially good. Keep up the good work!

[Hope and Chester]

Not bad for your first digital painting! Decent image composition, cute character design. The painting is a bit soft and unrefined but that's to be expected when trying a new medium so don't worry, just give it time and practice! Keep up the good work :)

[Windrunner!]

Windrunner? Very nice, your colors work well and the image has a strong well framed composition. The linework, though you were going for a sketchy feel, seems a little too unrefined and more sporadic than you may have intended. That aside, the form and pose are simple and strong, colors work well, and the image overall is nice to look at! Good job, keep it up :)

[Last Man Standing]

A fair effort! The atmosphere established is good, nice and dark, and your image compsition and framing is really great. Your characters could improve their figures since the proportions are somewhat unbalances, and the shading could be cleaner, but overall you've created a nice rich piece here so keep up the great work!

Snakebreath responds:

Thanks! With summer beginning I've made my schedule include at least an hour of figure drawing everyday, hopefully I'll improve my figures :D

[That's Bubu!]

Good effort, the character has a fun style to him, though lacks solidity and strong form, though that will develop and improve with time and practice, so keep it up!

[Origins.]

Nice work, a clever and well executed mixing of styles. Your linework could use some work, but your use of color and shading, though simple, works very well. Also the piece is visually interesting and unique. Great work! Keep it up :)

Jazza! Thanks for the review man, i agree with you in everything. I appreciate your efforts to be helpful for the artist community, thank you man :)

[Borderlands box cover]

Nice work! I can tell you put in a lot of time and attention to create an accurate duplication. Your shading and technical capabilities are strong, though in the end it's not original content which tends to lower the score in general since we want to see something new. As a drawing exercise you were very successful though so keep it up!
