Artist's Comments

This is the first assignment of this great inciative called DAcademy.
Telling stories is my main objective by drawing, I'd like to be an artist good enough to send my message and inspire as a lot of artists inspired me.
Those are some stories that i've published, or almost published,in small scale. From the top to the botton, to left to right: Lovely Homework (school's newspaper- 2 chapters), Teens for ever (a friend's newspaper- 2 chapters), Xeque-Mate (school's event - oneshot) ,Memories (didn't publish anywere),Mahou Shoujo Katsumi (here in DA, first page) and Driver's Edge ( still working, it will be published on a independent magazine).
In the middle me, with my hands in head thinking.
I'd like to make it better, but i didn't have time to ink and color it, maybe i'll do it someday...
Well, make your comments and take a look on this project in this page: [link]

First of all, congratulations on the many published stories [and almost published too =P] I'm on DAcademy, so.. eermmm... hi! ^^ I've looked at your piece and I've noticed that you deffinately know more than the basics on anatomy and posture, however, I believe you still need to practice to improve some details, like more natural hair and body. Another thing I've noticed is that you did your group of characters "as individuals"; by this I mean that when you look at the picture, the perspective seems different depending on the direction you look from. The only thing we all need to do is practice to get better, so that's my only advice today ^^.

Hi, your in my critique group so here we go...
First of all the composition and placement of the characters is very strong, you show a strong knowledge of those. Where I think you need to focus is on the fact that the poses look very stiff. Your characters look as if they're posing and that's a big no no in comics in sequential art. You want your characters to look more naturalistic as if you have just caught them in the moment of action. So I say all you should work on is practicing poses. Here ya go I found this for you it should help some :)

Hiya Yami-jo! CrazyFoxMoon here. I'm in your group on DACAD. So this is the time for me to talk about your picture.

First off... love your style. You've got such a great group of characters here. I may have to look into more of your work.

One thing that doesn't look quite right is some of the folds of the skirts on the girls. I'm sorry, but most of the time, the legs and other parts won't be defined that clearly. Maybe in a really strong wind, but casually walking... no.

I do agree with SuperMichaelMan that some of them seem to be a bit stiff. The magical girl in the lower left is the most natural one of the group. She's the type that would strike a pose.

Well... keep up the good work!

Hiya, DACAD-group member here! Nice to meet you!

This is a really nice piece. You obviously know your foundations, and I adore the contrasts!
One thing you might want to consider is the layout. The focus point here is you; you're the thing that bind the entire composition together. Therefore you should've been bigger, had more contrast or otherwise been more visible.
Right now you really have to search for you, and you seem more like a background character.
Because of contrast, all the focus is on the neither left corner of your drawing. In other words: because of much black and white in this area, the other things don't grab our attention, and the balance seems off.

The anatomy is alright, but some parts need work. The torso is way too short: it's supposed to be around 3 heads long. As it is now, it makes the characters seem childish and dumpy. The arms need practice as well, like the deltoid, triceps and biceps placements. I can't really see too many legs, but from what I can see you need to practice those as well. Use frames and skeletons, they really help!
You might also want to practice poses. Some of the characters are really stiff and awkward. Try getting some friends or family to pose for you, to see what looks natural. If you're shy and don't want to ask, you could always use a mirror. ;)

Nice work, and I love your motivation. Keep it up!
