Looks amazing! I really like the style of it, it’s unique and you used the cubes and squares really well.

I really like the 3rd drawing, except for the sky around the shadow that is a bit messy. I think making the area around the shadow with black equally all around it will look better. And the tree looks good with the shading.

The 4th drawing is also good, looks dynamic, and the 2nd one is good for a wip.

The 1st one really reminds me of the dropper map, where you go through a tunnel to the next level. I think you could change the way Alex’s legs are facing, they look like they’re stretching and glitching out, but other than that it’s good.

Oh no, your English is fine, I just fundamentally disagree with everything you've said.

I feel that your drawings are simple mostly just lines and color, and I don't prefer this style but to be honest thats my opinion and you should continue to draw and improve. Also Im pretty sure art classes dont teach this this seems like what someone did at home for fun because I go to art classes lel (I don't use color)

hi i really like your drawing but there is a HUGE lack of quality (sorry i do not want to sound like a hater) maybe try using other programs i use photoshop cc 2018 (yeah i know its expensive) but there are other good programms too like fire aplacca (i think) and krita

I'd just like to give some genuine criticism for a change.

So, controversial opinion incoming, your art is not good. First of all, and I think you know this, I'd recommend using a better drawing programme. There are lots of cheap and/or free ones out there. Secondly, you said you use a computer because you don't know how to draw. Huge mistake, in my opinion. You have much more control and fluidity in your drawing than with a computer when you start off and you'll get rid of the pixels, which, frankly, don't make the art a whole lot better.

Now for your first drawing. This is just my opinion, but don't do Minecraft art, or at least stylise it. Minecraft isn't exactly the best looking game ever and using its art style usually results in weird and inconsistent art. This is very clearly the case for this drawing. Most of the shapes of the characters either aren't perfectly cubic or cuboid, or don't have properly connecting lines. It isn't very pleasing to the eye. There are some very simple tricks you can use to improve drawing 3-dimentional shapes. Your drawing has a one-point perspective, said point is on the far background, where the skeleton is standing. You need to make sure that all of the line in the grind pattern on the floor are pointing there. Now, the real elephant in the room is Alex, which has a really strange design. Her head isn't properly cubic, her right arm (our right) looks very strange compared to the left arm and her hand is much wider than her shoulder. This isn't the case for her left arm. Last but not least, the motion lines don't work at all, again, it's the Minecraft art style really holding you back. Due to the cubic appearance of the character they aren't very dynamic, so the motion lines clash with the rest of the piece.

I won't say as much about the other drawings, there are definitely still some areas in which you could improve. The points of critique for the first drawing also carry on the the second one, thought to a lesser degree. Apart from that, its straight leg isn't 3d, as opposed to his arms and the bent leg looks very strange, being so far away from the body. I also can't understand what the purple line is about.

I kinda like the third drawing, thought its execution could've been better. It looks sort of messy but I really like the idea.

The fourth drawing is by far your best. It has very dynamic shapes and mostly ditches the Minecraft stuff. Though I'd still recommend you get rid of it completely. The thing that bugs me most is that you can see the characters' bodies through their clothes. Other than that, get rid of the particles under the left character and maybe replace them with something that fits the art style more and remove/revamp the landscape. Focus on dynamic (curved) lines and shapes for the characters. In the middle there are some eraser mistakes by the way, some of the lines are cut of in a weird way.

Well, that's about it.

Thank you! Looking back at the specific things you said, (i.e. Alex's arm and the bad pixels), you're right, there is definite need for improvement. I will not cut out Minecraft, however, I will not be doing it as much now. I've been thinking of using other programs too, I guess I should start.

Y'all need to stop sugarcoating shit to death

Rejask · Feb 6, 2018

I do draw... but not as bad as I said. I know I said I don't draw good, but that's because I don't try a lot. I have pictures, yet I don't know (and kinda don't want to) how to upload it.

Yes. Exalted and Stormarend (Especially Stormarend) gave some great criticism.

Why say that?
Someone put a lot of effort in his drawings and this is the last thing he wants to see here.
If you don't like it, try to make something good looking yourself, and hang that on your wall, but don't hate on someone else's art.

@Rejask don't worry about what he is saying, your art is way better then what many people could make!
Keep drawing!

I mean... It's an opinion bro

Guys guys guys
This sold for like 9 Million dollars

Whats next? This will sell for at least 70 million.

People have different opinions on what art is, just respecc it, no need to force your opinion on them.
@Rejask
I like your tree one, that ones more detailed than the rest a bit and looks nice.
I would say use something other than ms paint to draw though

Probably some dude who saw that it was perfectly straight and symmetrical. Thought it was good. (Which I guess it looks o.k.) Had tons of money. Put the two together.
