CoconutMoose's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hello. This is butter, you’ll see them often as they’re my main character.]

I love Butter.

[Despondent]

Love the ink, the halftone shading and hatching really bump it up a notch.

MatthewLopz responds:

that's something i'm actively trying to improve and make it almost a trademark thing for my art, since i only use plain colors with very little cell shading on some areas it's up for the lineart shadowing and texturing to make the drawings stand out

[The Color Out of Space]

Gorgeous work! Composition is great.

[Batminion]

This is such an absurd combination, but I guess that's why it got a laugh out of me. Nice work.

produde123 responds:

Haha ikr! I was suffering from artblock so I guess I really needed this

[ghost town]

So glad I clicked on this. The animation is simple, but fantastic.

radshoe responds:

Thanks! ;D

[Bean Man]

This is absurd... I love it.

Spooberino responds:

Ey, thanks! And thanks for the scout too.

[#hehasrisen]

I love this so much, fantastic work!

[Alli]

Oh my gosh, I love it! Thank you so much! I'll have my half done soon. ^.^

GhoulKitten responds:

Yay, I'm glad! And take your time! :D

You've got a nice style going! I especially love your coloring, simple but still pleasing to the eye. I would, however, like to offer some quick constructive criticism. When drawing a character you should try to think about how their weight is balanced. If a person stands with their torso slightly forward, then their head and legs will have to lean back in order to act as a counterbalance so that they don't fall over. I'm going to use this pose reference as an example:

In this image, the woman's torso is leaning away from her, but in order to keep her balance she has to bend her legs in towards her face. Speaking of pose references, they're very handy for this sort of thing. I'd highly recommend using them (if you don't already) to help you gain a better sense of balance, as well as to improve your anatomy. But to reiterate, you've got an appealing style. There are things you need to work on, but I'd love to see you improve. I really believe you could make something spectacular!

AuraVaury01 responds:

Thank you! I've always had problems with the line of action and balance of the characters, either they're balanced but too stiff or the opposite, I keep trying to improve and that's why I make excersises such as Inktober, thanks for your tips!
