Jazza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fairy]

This is a charming piece, I like her eyes and the reflection of the log in the water, and I JUST noticed that her reflection is the bird, which makes this even more clever, so I raised the score by half a star of what I was going to give ;) Great work, good composition, could use more detail and solidity but that will come with time, you're doing well, keep it up!

[Peter parker/Spiderman]

Nice! I like it! I'm personally really looking forward to seeing what you do with that john snow painting though... make it great for me, ok? ;)

[Sky is the limit]

Simple and very pretty to look at, great work! I feel like the sky could be a little better, it currently feels like the clouds were painted roughly and a filter was used to give an allusion to detail and the painterly feel, without necessarily learning how to paint that from scratch, but you did it in a way that wouldn't be noticed by many people and was done so pretty effectively. The highlight of this image is the girl and her shading, great work, keep it up!

[Dad by Akizutsu]

I'm flattered you liked my piece, you did a good job replicating it! Keep it up, I look forward to seeing what original pieces you can come up with!

Akizutsu responds:

Thank you so much Jazza ^.^

[Tsukiko]

What a lovely piece :) It's simple in its nature, but for what you attempted, you did fantastically well. Love the eyes, skin tone, and subtle soft linework. Keep it up! I look forward to seeing more from you

Benalki responds:

Thanks for your time Jazza. I'm glad that you liked it even though it was so simple. The eyes were actually something I had to redo and work with immensly to make them look right, because it is such a simple pose if the eyes were bad it would bring down the whole drawing.

['Alice in Wonderland']

14, new to this, and first ever digital painting? Well that shut me up! I have nothing bad to say, I am very impressed, and you should be extremely proud. Great color use and shading, overall image composition, and character form. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing what else you can do!

HandInACupcake responds:

Oh gosh thankyou so much! This brightened my day a LOT! Working on a lot at the moment, I'll be back..

[Eye]

Very nice, I can tell you've focused on making this look as realistic as you can, and for your first ever digital painting you should be very happy with the result. I will sway however that this is a picture people see a lot, an 'eye' picture, with no real context or meaning, other than using the fact that for some reason we people like looking at an impressively painted eye. So, you've done a good job, and put your toes in the water, congratulations! I look forward to seeing how you go, painting something on a more challenging scale and theme. Overall, great work, and welcome!

[Bounty Hunters: Star Wars 7]

Very cool, nice work, and creative as was your last piece. This one has a good composition and more interesting use of color and space. Your character's forms could use more solidity and detail, so thats something you can work on, but that aside, you're improving so just keep doing what you're doing!

agentspymonkey responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you think I've improved! I just have one question: What do you mean by "solidity"? I'm not sure what that means in terms of drawing, and I want to know how I can fix that problem.
Thanks!

[Brother (Pico Day 2013)]

Nice! I like the idea, well done too, he looks pretty tough. Nice picks for his color too. The form could use more solidity, in his hands especially, but his chest and neck look very nice and refined. Good work, keep it up, and thanks for making something cool for pico day!

[In the Darkness]

A very ambitious piece, the bend of the ground makes the picture looks like it was taken with a fisheye camera. The central figure lacks solidity but has a nice feel to him, and the balance of the image overall is well done and interesting, good work, keep it up!

RemnantWolf responds:

Thank you very much for your feedback. It is much appreciated, getting constructive criticism has been near impossible for me the past few years, so I hope to begin improving with the help of some fresh eyes.
