The full "Before" piece: [link] The not-quite-yet-finished "After" piece: [link]
Meh.... This is for that "Draw this Again" contest thing. (pfft...lol yeah...my lame contest attempt)
Anyhow...no idea why I picked this piece" to do again". I guess cuz last I checked it had the most favs out of anything in my gallery.... but it just so happens it's one of my "I hate how it turned out/ended up" drawings.
Love to hate huh?
Anyhow...I'm still in an art slump so I kinda gave up on the "After" piece midway through so it doesn't have the background (ie: bench & flower petals) yet.... (but I figure it's gonna get cut-off on this meme anyway so Blah) and I also mid-way gave up on double-checking the colors were right so it's kinda funky-looking..... <____<
Well despite that though...you can see the difference in style....
to be completely honest, the Linework on the "After" is much more solid than the "before" but i think that the Before is the better one. Note that this is just my personal opinion and there is no need to reflect upon this critique if you do not want to
well, what i mean is that the "Before" piece has the overall better quality, the colors are fluent, the person looks more "alive" in the sence that while the Linework is better and more solid on the "after", the before makes better use of the lines (example: on the after, the characters right arm (left on drawing) looks shorter than the before, also it looks stiff, while the before looks more fluid in it's positioning.
Also, the style of the a bit longer sleeves on the before looks better than the really short ones on the after, also the form of the vest looks better on the before.
I hope this explanation is good enough, also as i said before, theres no need to reflect on the critique if you do not want to
I know the feeling, i've made a few pictures that i have been looking forward to get both critique and opinions on, yet no one ever seems to comment when they check them. My works gets +fav'ed randomly every once in a while, but i never get any comment
out of the 3054 pageviews i have i have only gotten 138 comments (or well, can't really say 138 since DA counts your own comments on your works aswell, but still, i barely get any :/ )
Hmm... I guess the things you pointed out in the after piece are a result of me being forced to redraw it...albeit something I hate...thus my hatred translated into it...LOL
But YAY! I feel better already. I thought my art skillz were going backwards and I was going ta rage quit.
I agree with you. And like you, I don't mean to be rude when I say that when I saw the picture in my deviant watch list, I originally thought that the before was the after and vice versa. Now, it I sounded rude in saying that, please know it's 11:30 where I am right now, and my wording judgement is poor right now. I would explain why I have poor wording judgement when I'm tired and everything, but I'm exhausted and I need to get to sleep, so I'll just leave it at that.
Note that this is just my personal opinion and there is no need to reflect upon this critique if you do not want to
Aside from the "After" piece not being colored correctly and not yet completely finished.
I'm just puzzled why this zombie-looking proportionally funky looking "Before" piece is my most faved piece o,O
(example: on the after, the characters right arm (left on drawing) looks shorter than the before, also it looks stiff, while the before looks more fluid in it's positioning.
Also, the style of the a bit longer sleeves on the before looks better than the really short ones on the after, also the form of the vest looks better on the before.
