Opinions please. Constructive criticism is good, but be harsh. Be brutal. Then fuck off. ;p

Painted over this sketch from Computer Arts magazine.

Looks like my drag queen friend Dominique DeLorean.

'Drag Queen' sums it up nicely; murky appearance, uninspired, and possibly reveals a lack of appreciation of the original picture or the vurtue of minimalism in general.

Uh scuse me? Lack of appreciation of the original sketch? The original sketch was not meant to be minimalistic, it was created for the PURPOSE of being painted in digitally.

Yes, but your coloration does not work with the original in a proper manner. It somehow manages to remove the depth and sharpness of the original lineart.

How long did it take you to do?

I noticed that afterwards. I was basing it off of their coloration. It was my first attempt, gimme a break :p

Eh.. an hour maybe? I dont know.

I did give you a break. I first considered giving you a D.

Yeah well this is art, you should know that there is no absolute value with art.

Anna something.

What proggie was this made in?

Meh, I can also draw a red "X" on a white background...

Photoshop. There is a tutorial in the CA mag I got the pic from but it required software I didn't have, and I wanted to make something without using tutorials. ::glomps fuzzy::

Warspite: Sorry about that, my server shut down for some reason last night and it doesn't automatically return to windows so my server stays off until I put it back on.

You need some darker tones to enhance shadows and give volume to the face. (Ok, now I can fuck-off...)

added some shadowing. the compression is down alot so there might be some nasty artifacting.

Much better!
Now for the left cheek and the chin...

Bah. I don't know what to do, honestly. I'm not much of a fine artist. :p

Better, but she looks like she stores nuts in her mouth.

Unless it's Anna, which would be accurate.

Don't stress out, I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler! (I'm exagerating, of course.)

You've managed a pretty good pic, drawing any part of the human body is very hard, just keep on drawing, you'll end up getting it right.

ME: Koji, your artwork messes up the original.
KOJIKUN: It's supposed to mess up the original.
ME: Koji, your artwork isn't very good.
KOJIKUN: It's not supposed to be very good.
ME: Koji, your artwork sucks royally.
KOJIKUN: Because all artwork, in truth, sucks royally?

Only yours Koji; only yours.

It's probably the time for you to "fuck off" now.

You really need to tone down the makeup. WAAAAAY to much.

I really like the nose. You got that just right. Right on the nose.
