AvizuraNG's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Saya Lockeheart - Day 18; As a Child]

Looks pretty cute!

A little criticism: it looks a bit like her left arm is slightly bigger than her right arm and the hands aren't the same size. Same with the boots and thickness of the legs. You might try flipping your drawing over and looking at it through a lighttable/lightpad (or just use the flip function in the software you're using to scan your drawings). It often helps to see your drawing in a new perspective.

I like the colouring a lot. What did you use for this? It looks 'honest' and warm, if you know what I mean. That's the vibe I'm getting from your drawing. I like that you did the lineart in purple, it really helps to give this piece a "warm" look.

YumichanStudios responds:

Hi there! Thank you for the criticism! I will keep it in mind with the next drawing!

For this piece I simply used Copics, Watercolor and colored pencils c:

I've been following your works lately. Especially your work on Youtube.
I like what you're doing. Your art has that coolness factor to it that I try to get in my own art.

I won't be far from the truth if I say that you've been influenced a lot by anime and manga, or not? If so, could you tell me what kind of anime/manga inspires you the most?


If I would describe your art, I'd say it's: mostly cool, a bit cute, a bit sexual and a bit edgy.
Which are the factors that make up what I like about art.

Keep doing what you're doing, you've earned yourself a new follower.

[Brooke breakin' a sweat]

It looks new, but vintage. Idk, there's something very appealing about this piece and I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe it's the texture and colours you've used. It's all done digitally, isn't it? But it certainly has that "analog" charm.

[Pixel Boxin Idle]

I don't get how you pixel-artists do it...
I usually animate at a full resolution and then I overlay a grid and fill in the pixels, but isn't always easy, because some parts just become messy and too hard to read.

Do you just draw everything pixel by pixel as you go along? But what about consistency of volume and getting the flow of movement right first?

Good job btw!

trixelbit responds:

For this piece, I did it pixel by pixel. No high-res presketch or anything.
I tend to think about the base as simple shapes and then add the details on top. (like the secondary movements)

When I work straight into low resolutions, I think more about how the piece looks at that scale instead of how it looks compared to the reference sketch.

The link down bellow is a piece I made that I animated first in High Res, and then cleaned up and pixelated.

There's a ton of ways to do pixel animation.
Hope this helps a bit!

Wow. good shading, looks very realistic and convincing. Almost as if they are in a real space. I assume you study a lot of real life drawing? I get that impression from your work.
But even though it looks realistic, it still has that cartoony quality to it, which I really like.

Beautifully done!

Daker777NG responds:

Thanks man, that's precisely the feel I was trying to get so I'm glad that it worked out! I used to do real life painting but not so much lately, I'm focusing more on doing stuff from imagination, but those hours of practice certainly helped.

[Feline Archer]

A tiny nitpick: the left arm looks like it's a little bit too long.
But other than that, judging by this artwork, it looks like you know how to draw anatomy well, no weird-looking hands or legs, so it might just be an oversight.

Btw, I like the way you colour, how did you do it? It looks like it's been drawn and painted. Which makes me wonder.. did you draw this on paper or is it digitally drawn and simulating paper texture?

Hyptosis responds:

Hey thanks, yeah this is on paper and digitally colored. I sometimes mix ink washes in to make images look less digital, but ultimately it is me being lazy. :P

[jet chibi radio]

Aww that's cute.

I feel like the poses could be exaggerated a bit further, based on the center of gravity.
But you've done a great job in keeping it simple and elegant. it looks a bit like it was inspired by Panty and Stocking, was it?

I'm just wondering: do you draw this freehand or do you draw a base + construction lines first? What I get from seeing your art is a sense of confidence. It looks like you're very comfortable with the way you draw, which is great because it comes across as very professional.

sneel responds:

thankyou for the review!

"I feel like the poses could be exaggerated a bit further, based on the center of gravity."
> you're right! in hindsight i *could've* emphasised the poses more. i'll see if i can't work on this in any similar works in the future.

"it looks a bit like it was inspired by Panty and Stocking, was it?"
> it wasn't intentional, and i've never seen the show, but in retrospect i saw it as well!

"do you draw this freehand or do you draw a base + construction lines first?"
> i used a sketch layer comprised of mostly simple shapes + important features this time, then i uh... kinda bullshitted the lineart and details, to be honest ^^;;;
i'm pretty comfortable with the designs from Jet Set Radio because i draw it so often, so i don't feel the need to sketch out character details all the time.

thankyou for the feedback + compliments!! have a lovely day.

[Original Character Bust 1]

I like the colours! It really looks like the colours belong together, all while still making them pop.
You've got an interesting art-style, colouring-wise. How do you make the lineart? It's not completely one colour, is it? It looks like it's blending between different colours, is that right?

Tk-A responds:

Thank you so much for the feedback!

To answer your question, how I go about with the lineart is that I draw it in a layer in one color. And then, I add a clipping mask layer that allows me to freely blend other colors into the lineart without affecting the rest of the image.
