Mitsuko-sama’s Doodling Files


Good morn, good afternoon, good evening, good night. :] Whatever time zone, whatever time, whatever day, whatever the weather, I bid you salutations.

Anyhow, enough of random greetings and onto the “nitty-gritty.” As this is the Mentee section, I am posting up my arty-art-art-art, but before that, I guess I should give a small spiel. I did not really become an drawing enthusiast until the November of 2003. ERGO, I’ve been “seriously” drawing for a little over three years. As a senior in high school, I have taken Exploratory Art and Computer Graphics I in the past years. I am currently enrolled in my school’s Computer Graphics III class (yes, I skipped a year of CG… it’s complicated), which basically covers animation on Adobe Illustrator and Flash, and Drawing and Painting I.

My classes don’t cover much of what I draw for fun so most of the things you see are of my own learning which means there are a lot of mistakes. Ahaha. But that is why I’m posting here, isn’t it? :] I want to improve. So! Let the CC come bubbling forth and permit me a bit of space to squirm in anxiety whilst my fellow peers critique away.

Oh, just a note, I’m working on my AP Art Portfolio which is due at the end of April so I may be photographing some of the pieces which I will submit for some suggestions as how to improve them. I’d really appreciated the help. <3

You have depth and seem to have a grasp on anatomy, so kudos to you. I love your more graphic pieces (like the surfboard one) and I think applying some of that know-how to your characters could add a lot. I think you ought to experiment with line weights and bold colours and such with your character drawings.
This is more of a suggestion than a crit, but I think it could make for interesting results.

Thanks for the advice! biggrin

Yeah, I tend not to apply line weight or bold colors to character drawings, I don't know why. XDDD But all in all, I'll try doing that for my next piece. Again, thankees~!
