Write Feedback Focus Here: I would like feedback on my color accuracy and proportions. Most of my background is generalized and the focus is supposed to be on the large figure, and door/eye and I was wondering if you felt this was effective? If not what are ways to improve this? Of course if there is anything else you find to be ineffective please let me know!

I give up. Don't even bother critiquing my work. I know what wrong and I don't want you to tell me as well- nor do I even want a critique in general. However.. you need a grade, so tell me why it looks so awful. Why are the colors awful even though I double checked them on the pencil app? annnd I experimented with them on black prior to starting the project. Why won't my stuff become smooth after layers of the colorless blender? Why does it look so bad?

Feedback Focus: I would like feedback on my colored pencil application strategies and my likeness/proportion. There are several large areas within my Transformation Collage that contain expansive smooth gradients, I created these gradients in my drawing by burnishing. What time efficient strategies do you use to create smooth gradients?

I am proud of my overall proportions in my portrait but wondering what features should be adjusted to make the portrait even stronger?

Feedback Focus: For this piece, I was given permission to do an illustration response piece instead of recreating my collage. I would appreciate extra tips on techniques for working on darker paper. Because I haven't done much with it before, my lack of knowledge with using it really shows, I think, but I did choose it for a challenge-- in particular, I would appreciate a way to make the  lighter colours more vivid since it's very hard to make them look right on black. I would also like feedback on more ways to incorporate aspects of my collage into my illustration. Originally, I was going to add the eyes, but it didn't go according to plan. Don't be scared to tell me how it is, I appreciate harsh critique! Thank you.

Due to medical reasons, I did not complete a Prismacolor drawing of my collage; instead I did a response piece to my collage in alternative sculpture. (For clarification, there is absolutely no colored pencil in this, and it was already approved by
Ms. J). I created a popup landscape inside of a box. all of the paper folds allow it to fold down and the box to completely close. I would like critique on my composition, but I'm open to anything.

I would appreciate feedback on my proportions and general color accuracy. I think I am stronger in some areas than in others, and my pencils were not nice to me during this project, so I had to cut some corners.
I included two close up images because there is a lot going on in this image. The collage photo itself is a close up of a larger image, I just chose a specific corner of my main collage to draw.

For my feedback I would like it to focus on proportions, composition, color accuracy, and craftsmanship. I would love to hear feedback on techniques you might of used to help me better my drawing. I personally chose to draw each element of the collage separately and then in the end I used glue to paste it all together. Since this technique took longer than anticipated, I made an artistic choice to leave out an element. Let me know how I could have maybe made up for this. Whether that’s spending more time on boosting the color, or pushing the value, etc. Thank you! Can’t wait to here the feedback

OMG Dana mwah mwah to all the different textures in this piece they are BEAUTIFUL!! Especially nice job with the clouds, they look very tangible and real. I really enjoy how you brought the color pallet from the collage piece to the illustration as well. A few things I think you should work on is being more precise about the folds in fabric, and making it look like the fabric is actually folding that way. I also feel the upper left corner of the illustration is a bit empty, and maybe incorporating an entangled texture of branches from the collage there could have elevated the piece to another level. Other than that, I think you did a fantastic job on this piece. Another thing I'd like to highlight is the shines on the razors coming out of the clouds, it really makes them pop and elevates the illustration. Overall I think your strongest element of your work is the use of texture. Excellent work sir B)

# data[].attributes.body
I admire the artistic risks you took throughout this project. You did an effective job integrating the collage mindset (being open to mistakes/opportunities) and created a strong Prismacolor Drawing. I think this drawing’s greatest strength is its dreamlike layering through marker, Prismacolor pencils, gel pens, and graphite. It’s pretty unbelievable what you were able to achieve with these materials.

Looking at your drawing you have accurate proportions throughout and a strong composition. In your original collage I notice a type of filter on the human figures that simplifies skin tone into basic shapes/colors. Although this is a smart method, I think it might have potentially been confusing. I recommend looking at the original source images and trying to incorporate some in between shades to create structure. 

I noticed the colors in your drawing have a higher saturation compared to your collage. I think this choice of saturated color was a smart move to create a complementary color scheme (oranges and blues). 

One last recommendation I have is to experiment with an air brush set (I have one you could use). I recently saw a youtube tutorial where the artist created smooth/transparent gradients through airbrushes and then layered Prismacolor on top. This method would be helpful for your clouds.

I love it! I’m really into the smoke and fire of your piece. It has to be my favorite part. For this project I also did it with dark paper and oh my god was it hard. I don’t particularly enjoy how all the colors came out on mine, but I just experimented a whole bunch. Take it on like you’ve never had any experience with color, like you’ve never even touched color before. Learn how to create new mixtures even if they aren’t the same as the ones on tan or white paper. I think you did very well with the dark paper though. I think it looks great!

# data[].attributes.body
First, let me start by saying you never fail to impress me. Your accuracy with composition, as well as your color accuracy , are amazing. I love how you took risks throughout this whole final by using multiple imagery and portraits of yourself. However, in experience it is hard to recreate the same face with the same accuracy every time. I would suggest taking more time to really look at the details in your faces, or using your face once and use the remove/replace strategy for the rest of them. Your piece is very strong, and other than that I wouldn’t change a thing.

Also, chefs kiss to the part of your project that includes the red, boney, flesh as the body. You nailed it!

Omg I love this piece!! I think you did an excellent job with portraying depth, especially with the addition of the lights. I think the way you worked with perspective is really interesting, and the layered effect really elevates the sculpture. The only things I would change about this piece is perhaps making the torn edges a bit cleaner. Torn edges can make for a really cool effect which I think you accomplished in this piece, but I also think it could do with a cleaner execution. I would also put something in the negative space that the mountains are sitting in, the blackness of it is a little distracting, and the lack of texture clashes harshly with the very textured paper. My favorite thing about this piece by far though is the background, and incorporation of the lights in it. It really ties the piece together and sells it as a beautiful landscape, maybe even a landscape on another planet. I also enjoy that the teared edges of the mountains reference back to the torn photograph in the collage. Overall I think the collage and sculpture tie together very well, and also stand alone as individual pieces. Fantastic work Ezra!!!

I’m obsessed. Honestly, I love your drawing. My favorite part has to be the eye. It’s just perfect. The area where the clip sits isn’t the best. It gets a little hard decipher an exact shape and I agree that some parts do look muddy. I’m also not a big fan of the lips. Personally, when I draw out hair I only draw by the highlights. I set down the base color then everything else is run by layers of different colors of highlights, but I don't see too big of a problem with your hair.  Overall I really like your piece.

# data[].attributes.body
Lena,

You did an amazing job with this piece. The color accuracy on your succulents is beautiful and they really frame the drawing. The likeness in your portrait is also very well done! I would suggest pushing the values in your hair a lot more. I’m seeing a lot of in-between white spaces and strands of hair when the hair in your photo is a lot darker. I also think the cracks in your drawing are too busy, the dark outlines make them stick out a lot and it’s hard to see your face in the drawing because of it.

Abi,

Whoa momma!! This looks great. You did good with the background and your colors are very accurate overall. It looks like some of your lines are a little harsh and could be blended smoother, specifically on the hand. My tip for proportion issues would be guidelines on the face during the sketching phase, making sure all your facial features line up correctly. I also love your hair in this drawing, you blocked in the colors rather than drawing small strands of hair. Amazing job!

Charlotte,
This art piece is absolutely stunning! I love everything about it, from the collage to the drawing. This was executed so beautifully! I love the color pallet, I feel like all the colors work so nicely together! The likeness in the drawing is extremely strong, and it’s hard to tell the difference between the two.

This drawing is super hard to critique because of how wonderful it is, but a couple things I noticed are a little color differences. For example, the lemon and the water effect, the color is slightly off. With the water I would have loved if the color was more vibrant like shown in the collage. But for the lemon I actually preferred what you did! I love that the color is more vibrant than in the collage I think it really added to your colorful collage!  One more thing, I believe you used colored pencil for your black and white hand. I would have loved to see that done in graphite pencils. I believe that it would have given you a better range in value and would have prevented a little bit of muddy-ness in the hand. While this isn’t that big of a deal I needed something to critique.

To end everything in a good note I’d love to praise this art piece one more time. Two things that I found absolute perfection in your drawing are the octopus and the color drips at the bottom!!!! The octopus literally looks like you glued it onto your drawing. *chefs kiss* I really appreciate the range of value throughout your whole drawing but specifically in your octopus!!! And the color drip is immaculate, it adds so much strength to the drawing. I respect the precision in both the color accuracy and just over all the shapes and lines. You should be super proud Charlotte, you have impressed me!! And from seeing all your drawing so far this has been definitely one of your strongest pieces! Keep up the great work, and I can’t wait to see more of your work :)
From your critique buddy,
Cece xoxo

Dear Noam,
You never fail to impress me, like can I please have a drop of your talent I could use it. Let me start of by saying that this drawing is extremely strong! I remember seeing your collage and thinking “man this is going to be the piece that will finally stump this kid, because I don’t know how the heck they are going to pull that off” well um you did it, you pulled it off and not only that but you killed it! I really appreciate your attention to detail, every element of the drawing is there. I love how the chaotic-ness from your collage transferred so nicely into your drawing! I love everything about this drawing, but I especially love the background. Nothing about the background scared you, you were able to give the background just as much attention to detail as you gave the things in the foreground. And you didn’t leave out any elements. Which I really appreciate because I can tell that you put a lot of time and hard work into this piece.

Although this drawing is stunning I have to give you at least one critique. And although it was hard to find one, I came across a couple. My biggest critiques would have to be some facial proportions in your little self portraits and a little bit of coloration differences. In some of your self portraits some of your face proportions get a little bit wonky. Honestly though I feel like this adds to the chaotic vibe you have going on, and the spot on colors in the portraits make up for it. Like I was saying a lot of your colors are accurate,  but a few I noticed were a bit off. Like in the eye figure, the dress is a little to blue when it should be a little more black. And I feel like a little bit of value was lost in the bloody/ boney background. I would have enjoyed it more if it had bloody/ gooey elements to it. Also I’m being super nit picky because I’m being graded to critique you guys.
Noam you should be extremely proud! This drawing is amazing and is so eye catching, I literally want to stare at it all day! Once again I am so impressed with everything you do with your art, and I love how you don’t let anything scare you in art. Keep it up!!
Love your critique buddy,
Cece xoxo

This is such a beautiful piece, I especially love the colors you chose and how they complement one another! You can really see the thought behind the whole composition. Your composition is, in my opinion, highly effective and I feel that the flowers frame the face beautifully. The cracks on the portrait break up the drawing and keep you involved in the piece for longer. Your proportions are very accurate and may be the only thing that may be slightly disproportionate is the lips. I think they may be slightly too small, but this is highly nitpicky. The one thing I notice about the drawing as a whole is that the graphite slightly fades to the background. I think if you were to bump up the contrast on the whole figure and move into deeper values you would find that the portrait stands out a little bit more.

Carrine, I'd like to start off by saying that I understand your frustration. Secondly, though I understand your harshness on yourself, I personally think that your prismacolour piece is beautiful! Even if the colours aren't exactly what you'd wished for or may be off from the original, in fact I think they're more beautiful than the original. I think the majority of your struggles may lie in the possibility that you may be more of an illustration-based artist in contrast to being an observational/recreational one-- which, personally, I think is super awesome! I really like the textures of everything in this piece (intentional or not), and would say it reminds me of a painting some rich person somewhere would spend 100K+ on to have in their living room. It's a bit of a weird thing to think of, but really, I do like it very much. A suggestion I have that could perhaps make your life a little easier is printing the collage out and trying to copy lengths and dimensions of things there. If getting the colour "wrong" is something that bothers you, maybe instead of trying to get the exact colour of the original an idea would be just to go absolutely insane mental with the colours and change them all up into something different! As for the "smoothness," this is also something I struggle with. I think that to add smoother transitions between colours it's very important to do light layering inbetween each section-- even if its a small little slither of a colour in the middle, it could really make a difference. All in all, though being critical of your own work is very important to improving, I think you should know that you deserve more credit than you give yourself for this piece. It may not have turned out the way you wanted it to, but nonetheless it's very well done to me. I absolutely adore it-- especially the colours! Keep your head up, Carrine, you're doing wonderfully. :]

I want to start by admiring your color pencil application, and because of this you can clearly see the detail within the whole drawing. The light hitting the ground is my favorite part of the whole piece. You’ve asked for feedback on the proportions and I think overall you did a nice job. I would shrink the head slightly, as the portrait seems to be a little bit stylized. I am not sure if this was an illustrative decision, but the figures are significantly closer. I don’t think there is anything wrong with this, but it also might play into it looking slightly less accurate to the reference photo. Your color accuracy seems to be technically close, but highly saturated. I see this mostly in the portraits shirt and hair, and possibly adding more brown tones to desaturate it would’ve helped with color accuracy. I see that a portion of the background is done behind the portrait, and I think seeing it throughout the rest of the piece would have helped to elevate the drawing further. Overall wonderful job!

# data[].attributes.body
Miss Renicky?!?!?!?! This is amazing?!?! Great work! I especially like the colour of the shirt. I think something to improve upon would be the angle of the head. It's tilted differently in your recreation than the original and I feel as though that affected the rest of the drawing's proportions as well. The background colour is also a little too light-- it could be the lighting, though. I love how the planet thing looks! It really adds to the rest of the piece. A suggestion I have is maybe adding other mediums into your work to produce specific effects, such as using charcoal or chalk to make the glowing around you feel more "glowy." Overall, you did well on this project. Your art is beautiful as always! Keep it up homie 😄♥

Ezra first off your original collage is beautiful! The depth and colors work so nicely together and I think you did a really good job at transferring that to your 3D response piece. I think it was a great decision to do your response piece with a night time perspective. You changed the colors of the mountains to match the lighting which I think was very smart. I love that you decided to add lights to it because in my opinion the elevate it to a different level of complexity.  That being said I wish you would have included the split Polaroid photo into the piece somehow. It was one of my favorite parts of the collage . I also liked that in the original response piece that the sun was centered. I think if you did this in your 3D piece it would tie it together a little bit more. Right now, since what I'm assuming is a moon is in the top corner, that's where my eye is drawn to. However, since this is a response to your original collage, I don't know if that being there was somehow symbolic in any way. Overall you did a fantastic job and I think you really excelled in exploring something different than everyone else :)

# data[].attributes.body
Dana this is stunning! I love that you took more of a mark making approach rather than a more blended one. I think it really works in your favor, especially on the black paper because it allows the black to create a natural dark tone underneath the colors. I also love how you did the clouds! They have an amazing billowy affect that I think really elevates your drawing. In my personal opinion, I think adding more elements from your collage would make your drawing to busy. I think the combination of elements you have right now really works well together. My only critique would be that, even though your piece is mostly done with mark making, I think it would help if the white and red elements that are coming out of the clouds were in more of a blended style.

As for making your colors more vibrant, what I have found with working on black paper is sometimes it helps to layer a white pen under your colors. Although some pens don't react well with colored pencils so it really depends. If you were to try this technique in a later drawing I would test it first on a different sheet of paper.

Overall this piece is absolutely stunning and you should be really proud :)

This is beautiful! You’ve really captured the magical realism theme. Your colors are exaggerated in your drawing compared to your collage, and I love it.
It adds so much more to the drawing. I could honestly stare at your drawing all day and just let my mind  wander off into the individual images. Your colors magically blend and make your drawing pleasing to the eyes.
