Fanart - Fantasysquare's Art Critique Service - Finished Critiques

  Artist: Linkz
  Description: Dark Cloud (or whateve he's called)
  Comments: hmz, i like this but the colors are kinde screwy ~_~

Gemi's Critique
Yay~! Cloud in his KH-form, a fan-girl couldn't ask for any more! A great version of the official artwork with lots of careful attention to detail throughout :)
Now onto the comments, I think the points that need to be covered are the anatomy, lineart and colouring. His body in the majority appears to be well balanced. The only major issue I have is with the placement of his eyes. The right eye is skewed downwards which makes his face look very unbalanced. It is important to remember that the eyes are placed at the same height. You can check for this by drawing straight lines that divide the face into sections.

The base of the eyes should follow the bold red line. Also the size of the right eye would be smaller in order to show that it is further away from the viewer. The white of the right eye would also not be visible from this angle.
The next thing that I'll cover is the lineart and colouring. The lineart is very clean and bold, but could be improved by working on making it smoother and by varying the widths. I've added an example of this using a picture of Cloud I've drawn recently.
You can see that I've make the lines where there will shadows cast darker and thicker and finer lines for detailing. Tapering the lines is also important especially in places such as the tips of the hair. This helps to give a greater sense of dimension to the drawing.

The colouring is very good with nice choices of colours for shading. Though the colouring could have been made less sketchy in his cloak and the colouring of his hair is very bold and smooth but could have done with shading.

I hope that some of these suggestions help and I wish you the best of luck with your future work ^__^
