Ed, I suppose I'll just toss some art here and maybe you guys can rate them? (I have to work on coloring a lot...and everything else too...) I"m not as great as some of you, but I'm okay at it, considering I"m 11 years old! So, I guess, rate?! Oh, and if you want me to draw you something ask HERE


I went lazy after the hair...lol

Doesn't follow the human anatomy at all, but still. XD
I don't have very much..but yeah. Oh, the first WAS supposed to have color, but is used an enhancement because my colored one looks...weird. 0.0 Oh, I used IbisPaint X for these and I have no stylus...I did at least...

Considering your age, it's really good. If I were you I would focus on proportions (when I was your age I had the same problem).

I learn pretty quickly. Those were without guidelines... >.> Heheheh... No guild line= weirdness. I have a small gallery somewhere in the gallery that has some things that are a lot better. XD But thanks for that small tip!

What drawing software do you use? The software you use can make a huge difference on the drawings coloring quality.

Well, lucky me I have Ibis Paint X for the ipad. XD So I guess I have it easier. I DO have GIMP for the computer, but our computer has REALLY bad lag, so it's hard to draw on it. @.@

It became more of a critique than a rating, oh well.

I like the concept of the first one. I also like that you decided to do a background for the first one. Even though it's simple, it works. The blurred line on the left between the light and the dark kind of reminds me of a rothko in a way. The face is also very expressive. I like the expression on the first one more than the second because it seems more real and less contrived. I get the feeling that there's a story behind this person. (So much so that when I started drawing over it to point out a small detail, I just kept going OTL, x. (I had a lot of fun though because I liked your concept so much~))

I like the execution of the second one. As far as technical feats go, I think you did a great job on the hands, and on the right part of the dress where the knee is for the second drawing. The lines are very clear cut, and the drawing looks very finished. What I would focus on improving is the neck, face shape and lack of ears. For the neck, it's actually pretty straight where meets the head. For the face shape, your lines aren too horizontal. For ears, if you don't like to draw ears, you can cover them with the hair. But currently, your drawings look look earless. x, x

I feel like drawing the head/face is holding you back, because the rest of your drawing, no matter the drawing, is of higher quality. If you can overcome that hurdle, your drawings will become at least twice as good.

Also, when I was 11, I couldn't draw even 1/10th as well as you, so keep doing what you're doing! c:

Thanks for the help! I got used to the app pretty quickly. XD I did those without guidelines too. .-. So yeeeah. XD
