Artist's Comments

Original title: Pink :rose: Happy Cosmos :heart:
Theme: Evening
Aceo number: #39
Size: 6.4 x 8.9 cm
Series: Himitsu no Mahou
Exchange with: ****:iconwinoa:****

Hoi hoi,

First of all I want to thank everyone for the sweet presents ^^ I'll give you all a comment, but it might take a while, because of my computer problems xD I want you all to know that I love them all <3

I drew this ACEO as a little present for :iconwinoa: She loves Pink and I thought I would make her for her. Pink loves chocolate, but since everyone draws that, I decided to go with Hello Kitty (her other love) instead. I thought the green background would look good with her pink shirt.

I hope you like her chair aswell :heart:

I made this little card listening to the song "Happy Cosmos" from the Himitsu no Mahou CD, I think this song is PINKPOINK (a word Anni and I created xDDD)

So Noa, I hope you like your little card, although I know it's full of mistakes >.<

Critiques


:iconnyiana-sama:
Alright, lets get started on this shall we? There are a few things that I would like to point out, but please do not take them too personally, I am trying to be helpful, so if I come off as a little bit rude, I'm sorry.

Looking at this deviation, the first thing that I noticed was the eyes. Even from the perspective that she is in, her eyes would be around the same size. I know how difficult it can be to draw eyes, but I think a good way to make sure that they're even is to hold your drawing out in front of you as much as you can. I've been able to find a lot of different small things in my drawings with this technique. Looking at your drawing from a distance helps you to see a lot of things that you don't usually see too close to you.

The next thing is her hand on the chair. I'm not sure exactly sure how her hand is supposed to be positioned, however this makes it seem her wrist is sticking up in the air. There really isn't anything wrong with it, but I'm not sure if you wanted to draw her wrist sticking up in the air or not.

Now on to her legs. There's just something about them that's been bothering me. First, her outer leg seems to be positioned too high, especially above the knee. What I mean is that, you probably should have drawn her leg going down towards the chair. There really is no angle where their should be. The only way that it could work is if her other leg was positioned correctly. It actually bothers me a little bit, because there isn't anything beyond the knee. It seems as if her leg should be there, but it isn't.

As for the background itself, I like the colors and the Hello Kitty's in it. It's really well done, and it doesn't overpower the character. I've seen some deviations where the background is almost the same color as the characters, and it takes away from the picture. This isn't the case with yours though. Its really nice and refreshing in my opinion.

Overall there are a lot of good things in this drawing, but as you mentioned in your artist comment, a few mistakes as well. Keep practicing with your art and you'll improve with time. :)

Okay I try this time first to write you a critique, so please don't be angry with me, it will become a lil bit "cruel" and "naughty" at the first time ^^;

First I realized - was it meant she look that "old"? You knoe Pink is between 8 and 10 at season one and I don't think children have this "big" breasts /this is spelled wrong, I know it :XD: ) first. So yeah - the leg's size are okay. I know this by myself when I was in this age.

Second is the chair and its perspective look fantastic! They get a really nice touch and look very real. I like the motive of the chair :D

Third: The "Hello Kitty" background (I don't know the English word for "Tapete" XD°;) looks awesome. In most parts they look exact the same and that's very difficult. I really like it.

Fourth: You always know ACEO-cards are that small to scann them has only a few pixels and it gets un-sharp. So I cannot see exactly the details but (this is NOT the critique cause it's not your fault what a Scanner does, don't get me wrong) for an ACEO you did a great job with details, especially the shirt. Only thing is, try to do more details and light-effects in the hair so it looks more real and not like only "it's on my head" - if you know what I mean .__. I know it's very difficult in this size, but you can make it!

Fifth: The only totally wrong mistake in your outlines here I found is the right leg (in Pink's perspective seen). If you di the knee in this kind of form you should hav to see a little part of it under the second leg till it goes "under the clothes". So it seems she has only one leg which goes to the rest of the body Oo I know my English is very bad but I really hope you can understand >___<°

Sixth: The hands. Try to practise more hands :) The one behind the chair is wrong because the thumb is on the wrong place. It's too much "on the top". It has to be more to the bottom signed. In this situation you made it it looks like only a doll's hand, but not a real one .__. And I think on the second hand on the chair - if you really would sit like this and your hand is that up it has to be very uncomfortable and would hurt. Try to make this pose yourself behind a mirror and maybe you'll see and understand what I mean :)

Seventh: To the motive itself: I often see persons in pose by you, standing, sitting before a background and only pose like on a portrait. It seems so "unnatural". I myself love more poses where people are seen as they are in nature, not knowing they get watched, something like that. It gives you more feelings if people do something on pictures. So it's like a model-contest ^^; So my tipp: Try more poses and positions. It will really help you and you'll see your pictures get more and more lively!

In fact the picture itself is well done :)
I hope I was not too bad to you...

This was my first and last critique because my subscription ends now and I thank you very much I was allowed to write it :thanks:

See you soon
Keep it up!!!
