Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Maria]

The image is nice and captures a cool aesthetic. It's going for a rough sketchy look but in some ways it feels a little too sloppy so try not to go overboard with the style. Also remember to keep a feminine quality in the image, don't use to much linework on the bottom of the nose or over the upper lip, it removes some of the delicacy from the image. Overall you've done well but as with any artist there is always room for improvement, so keep it up!

[Lotus]

Such a bizarre and well done picture. It's the kind of thing where you feel like there are reasons behind it you don't understand, but in the same sense, you don't want to understand it because it's the strange nature of the image that makes it so appealing and unique. Your use of lines, color and the way it's framed are all very well done and you should be proud, thanks for sharing!

[Beach Curves]

The piece here is good in some ways, and can improve in others.

The good: nice balance of color, good understanding of shade and linework, visually appealing and well drawn :)

Critique: The half-body on the very edge of the image is a bit off putting and feels unfinished. The proportions are a bit out on the girl, her legs are a bit misshaped and the breasts aren't cupped in the bikini top properly

Otherwise you've done well and there's some good stuff here so keep it up :)

JoeliusNG responds:

Thanks so much :D
I'll be sure to use your criticism to make my stuff better!

[CharlotChaos Character concept]

Welcome to Newgrounds :) This is a nice piece, it's a little blurry so when you scan/photograph your image make sure to do so as clearly as possible, and if you can, optimize it before uploading, mess with the brightness and contrast and clarity until it's really nice and polished. The picture is well draw, it somewhat lacks solidity but it has good attitude and feel to it. Keep it up!

NinjaPotatoGuy responds:

:D wtf i didnt notice this :D hankyou so much!!!, i am working on a digital version. I drew this after watching you're female anatomy.

[Saturday Night In]

It creates a nice feel and is framed well, but as a whole leave something to be desired. There's a lack of interest I suppose - but your simple use of color and shape to create the backlit face is effective and accomplishes what it sets out to, so good work, keep it up :)

[Self Portrait]

Nice work! You're right in that the immediate observation is how manly the image looks, and I wondered if this is really what you look like. If so, congratulations on being very manly. Otherwise, in isolation and as a character portrait, this is very well done! Great features, nice mix of colors and understanding of shade and highlights and where to put the detail. The nose is a little extreme, and the lower left side of the jaw and left side of the face could come in a bit. You've done well, I look forward to seeing what else you can do, so keep it up!

[Birdlady]

The glowing aesthetic you produced here is really nice, though the form itself feels like it's right from the uncanny valley, a bit uncomfortable. The form could be more solid and less rigid in its pose, but the aesthetic is really good, keep working! and thanks for sharing :)

DrApfelwurst responds:

Wow thanks!
I know, I know, but I wonder why you say nothing against the background!
Thanks for the comment!

[Death Awaits]

You keep pushing yourself and doing things you haven't tried before. That is the mark of someone who will make fantastic progress, and you already are. Keep doing what you're doing, you're very talented with a good eye for this stuff! Very impressive.

Randombarimen responds:

Thanks!

[ODST]

Impressive for having been done on an iPod, it would have been difficult, but as a stand alone image it leaves a lot to be desired - I'd like to see what you can do using proper artistic tools! In my opinion, a touch screen phone doesn't do well as an artistic tool. Keep it up!

[An Old Blacksmith]

Nice work, I like how you captured a mood really well, a nice intense setting. The lighting is well done, perhaps a little too dark around the edges, and your colors work well together. The main character looks nice, though his lines feel a little shaky and lack solidity in places. Overall it's a nice looking piece and I like seeing you challenge yourself, keep it up!

CrazyCreators responds:

I understand what you mean and sadly this is the limit the previous program that i was using has.You can only do till that and then try to cover some parts that look awful.
Now with photoshop i believe i can fix it :D
