When Art Defies Its Creator

[DeadlyTurnip]

Well first off I am going to say that I pretty much expect this thread to be ignored by everyone, but If I can get people to give me some advise of my work, then I guess its worthit. :D

Well, Idk. I have this batch of sketches and stuff I wanted to show you guys so I can get some feedback.

Here are some of them:

Eye and Lips
This is me being bored in math class without a book to work with.

That Woman of Davinchi's
I was was just copying a portrait of Davinchi, she doesn't look like her :\

Angel of Silence
Lol, this woman ended up looking creepy

Sketch of Athena
She looked like a man in the original, I had to make her more petite.

Mother in Pain
One of the only ones I actually took time on. This is one of my favorites.

Angel of Passion (draft)
Angel of Passion
So out of them all this is my favorite, I had to turn it into a pencil drawing ^^

Please give me some feedback and critique my work so I can fix their flaws.

You're very talented, I am an artist as well, of a different delineation, but an artist nonetheless, as for a critique, I have not much for you. I focus less on form, I'm more of a comic writer / artist. Although I have dabbled in the world of form and figure, I don't think I deserve to give critique...

But at the same time, not much critique is needed, you're brilliant and talented! Don't stop!

If it's been a while since the last post, there's one reason you can double post, otherwise no one would ever see her new drawings. xD

Beautiful tone in your drawings, Angel of Passion is just gooorgeous :] Very pretty kitty as well, was that drawn from life? :]

I think generally the eyes on your people look a little lifeless and flat, in comparison to all their other features, it might just need a little more detailing :]

Nice work otherwise, do keep it up :]

Yup, that's why I double posted. :O

Just on a quick note, I am a guy, but I can see why you got that impression ^^'

Mother in Pain is by far the most well formed of your drawings. You really captured the folds in the cloth, by articulating shadows well.

But, it is the shadows that need work. While you have a very keen sense of how to meld shadows with highlights, I feel that you may need to intensify the shadows. Perhaps using a different utensil - one that can produce darker marks - would be all that is necessary, given that these were (I assume) done with a regular pencil. I used to draw much lighter (overall) than I do now, but practicing using many shadows, whether they be dark or light is essential in crafting a form. You've done a wonderful job, nonetheless, in capturing emotion through facial expressions, posture, and the subject matter present in your pieces. Take into consideration though, if a mother was in pain, where might she place herself? In a lit area for relief? Or a dark area for dwelling? Who is this mother? Why is she in pain? Is she afraid of what pains her, or does she want to face it? You should ask yourself countless questions when formulating the artwork, both prehand, and in the process of creating it. Just think - "drawing" is not putting a pencil to paper. Drawing is to take from life, filter it through yourself, and replicate it on paper in however way you see fit - and that goes for people, buildings, rocks, trees, lights, shadows, love, hate, death, and all matters of life. Use the world to your advantage.

I hope that helped.
