*puts critique here because she doesn't know where else to put it*

In Peresphone's hand, her fingers look a tad short and stiff, and where Hades' hand is curled around her back the fingers are too long.

Otherwise, marvelous poses, very loose and real feeling, The clothing detail and Hades' *thinks for a second* Uhh... left hand is extremely well drawn. I think the thing that impresses me most is the hair, it looks almost natural.

Very nice work, you deserve a lot of props for this one. I rate 4/5. *grin*


The background and the details in it are well drawn, but skew the proportions a bit, the flowers unbalance it a little, but tweaking can fix that.

*end critique*

Thomas, you asked for critique... this is me critiquing. I hope it didn't disappoint, and if she wants more, then I can help. No one gives me critique around here either except my art teacher and sometimes Ash and Becky. Otherwise... it's 'awesome' 'cool' 'omg I wish I could draw like that' etc. And I'm no where near as good as your friend here.

Say, Thomas.. you should explain to her about DA..

The best art doesn't always make it to the front page.

Daryl, right? I must say your work is really impressive, as is the fact it was drawn by hand. DeviantArt is oh so ever full of people that use computer programs to do their art; and while I don't think that's wrong because it's still beautiful and true art, it's always refreshing to see hand-made stuff.

Rolleth stated that this is some of your ordinary work, and I personally believe we can always judge the artist better if we take this kind of piece. So, let your Judgement begiiin! >8D *drumrolls*

I can point out 3 little things that have room for improvement:

.There isn't light. It's not really mandatory since it must suit your own style in the first place, but shading always makes a drawing look richer.

.Her fingers are a little bit too short.

.The fabrics look... hard. I know how it's painful to draw clothing, but maybe you could try softening the lines on the fabric so they'll look softer.

Your own style should be taken into consideration, though, but I don't really know your personal style since this is the only piece I've seen from you.



Well... you won't like to hear this but... YOU AREN'T BAD LIKE YOU THINK YOU ARE!



I'd like to point out that I loved the colors you chose on this piece! And it was said you used some lead, did you use it on the chains? I love how they glitter, and I think it was very creative of you!

And their hands... although her fingers are a tad bit sort her hand still looks looks so soft and delicate I want to squeeze it! Hades's hands, too, are really special. I thought it was really interesting how his fingers are rather claw-like, showing some of his dark, mysterious (and wild and possessive, I'd presume too) nature.

I know hands are the worst to draw to a large amount of artists (me included), but you don't seem to have such difficulty.

Their hairs are flow-y. I think you did an excellent job on those, as you did on their expressions.



Overall? 4/5 because it looks great andthere's always room for improvement!

This comment/review is way longer than my usual, but it's just so you can try and grow some confidence. Your art might not hit the Popular pages on DA for quite a long time, but it's still beautiful and worth sharing with the world as it transforms and evolves along with you.

I'd watch you should you come to DA. ^^

Thank you so very much. That was an amazing critique... hard to get those sadly. However one note the red curtain is supposed to be stiff looking to represent the cold, frigid nature of the underworld and Hades himself sometimes. ( I helped with planning ) Sides that the rest of the critiques were very accurate and useful Ill relate them to her as soon as possible.

Well since you asked for some advanced feedback... that's what you're gonna get then.

So Daryl, first of all, congratulations for sticking to the traditional! I'm with you like that, no digital media for me, either. I think faaaaaaar too many artists have "slipped" to digital. Their choise, of course, but still, I respect traditional far higher.

Anyway, to the point then. In your work, I like the way you dare to use strong colors and contrasts bravely. You have strong shades of both reds and greens and also blues and oranges. You used the opposite colors purposely or did it just seem natural? Anyway, I think the opposite colors in this one balance each other nicely. Also, your coloring tehcniques seem developed. Your lines are not showing (unless their meant to, I suppose) and the egdes aren't obvious. Nice work with that! Btw, you said you used markers on this, right? You like working with 'em? Teehee, just wondering since they are meh personal fave media.

Perhaps some point of development then. Well, you should check the people's proportions again, at least the male's. Like, his hand is humangous and the arm's too long, too. Otherwise the poses are fine and believable.
Hmm, and the details in the drapery (fabrics)... If a fabric is folded, then the detail folds with it. What I'm saying is, if the folds on the drapes are to be believable, then they should be drawn along the fabric. You've any idea what I mean? Like, [link] in this one I've done some fabric detailing. This is approximately what I'm chasing after. The detail should be IN the fabric, not on top of it.

OK, I gotta stop putting your artwork down now 'cause it doesn't deserve it. I believe you've got the talent, girl, and I hope you'll join us to improve it!

I hope this makes any sense.
