I like your stuff!

Your use of colors is very interesting.

And RzDz, I think you should be careful how you deal out criticism from here on out.

I would prefer that our guild be constructive rather than destructive criticism.

Everyone's got to start somewhere, right?

Some of my old stuff makes me shutter when I look at it.

If people kept telling me that i am a good artist like they were id still be drawing head 10 times bigger than the body

And i like those pictures but they really have no qualities which define good abstract . i know he can do it ! thats why i am pushing

I think it's possible to give someone constructive criticism without just telling them "you're terrible".

Maybe that's just me though. confused

Instead of insulting an artist, you should encourage them. That's what helped ME get better.

No one told me I was a great artist when I first started. That's just stupid.

But I did have people who gave me GOOD critique and offered me ideas to get better.

I like the simplicity of your style. Art doesn't have to be perfect to be good.
The biggest thing I can recommend is cropping the work so you can't see the white in the background.

Its good art work for starters^^
I just started about a year and a half ago, I used to be TERRIBLE! And now, I have gotten better because of my friends lieing and saying "It's good". So I wanted to be as good as my other friend, She is AMAZING! I was soooo jealous because I couldn't draw. So I have been trying to get better and better~

But sorry for me telling you my story of me...
But I think your art is great! You can improve, I know you can, but I'm not saying its bad, just saying you CAN be even better when you practice alot^w^

Sorry if I'm not helping... I'm not good at giving advice...

To RzDz >>> You use negative criticism as an inspiration for others? In a way, isn't that somewhat... backwards? xD
Your statement of "Not good; I've seen better ones by 5th graders" is more an insult than it is criticism... Especially when you start off your comment on their art with that particular sentence. One can still give criticism without being harsh about it. I've gotten lots of negative criticism from others, especially back in middle school. It didn't help one bit.

What *did* help was when people were kind enough to give constructive criticism; eventually, I was able to work off of the criticism and improve. I still am improving by the day. c:


To passthekutchie >>> I really like the red/yellow/green theme in your "Roots" piece. Sticking to the reggae colors, hm? :3
I would like to freely admit that especially in your "Roots" art, you paint better than I ever can. xD
If you really do like reggae, you can try to enforce the same color theme in other pieces that you do. Try doing a guitar or ukulele with that kind of color theme, and you can even try putting in some cool designs on it; it just might turn out looking good in the end.
And as cherub had stated, cropping out the white areas in your pieces would also be nice. It'll make your art look a bit more cleaner. :]
You do have a lot of room to improve, but I'm not saying I don't have to improve either. I know I have a lot of improvements I can make. ;D

I can see the creative potential that you have, and making more pieces as the weeks and months go by will help you improve even more.
Keep it up, alright? ♥

I really like your "Roots" painting, it reminds me of a Jamaican rock song I heard once...

As for advice, I'd like to see you paint something without the use of black outlining. The outlining is a tad bulky, and it never compliments when you're trying to paint the sky or the beach. Also, try blending colors together. The more of each color you apply, the easier it is to get them to blend. It's a very smooth effect to what you're doing.

I like your 'roots'. very creative. that is good of you to draw life related drawing. you'll get improve soon if you coninue it like this and put more affect on your pic. if you mind about this, i'm still a beginner with my drawings too. but, my friend always told me the same thing i told you
