Butterflies and Flowers

                    Caidychen’s art is what I would call simple and clean. It is not all over the place, and it is not plain. In this picture the artist used light colors that go together.  He uses pink, green, and yellow with very little blue. He also uses little details in small objects.

                    The details are mostly in the butterflies and leaves. He brings out the designs the wings. You can really see the design on the butterfly on her hand. The leaves have less detail, but enough to tell what they are. With the details, in the leaves, it makes the flowers stand out.

                    I also like how Caidychen makes the features of the girl soft. When I was looking at the hair, it reminded me of a waterfall. It looks like it is lightly falling down the sides of her face. I like the decorations in her hair. The wings look like little angel wings.

                    Small details like this can show what kind of person is being drawn. For the girl, the butterflies, wings, and flowers show that she is probably a sweet and caring person.  They can also show her delicate side.  In other pictures females are shown with delicate and rough features. Clothes, expressions, and their surroundings can show what kind of person they are.

                    The way Caidychen shows the girls expression is slightly confusing. The girl comes off either sad or happy. Since she could be expressing either, it makes it hard to tell what the expression really is. If showed only one expression, then it wouldn’t confuse anyone.

Pretty Warrior

The artist, Pheonixlu, makes the art have both realistic and fantasy features. I really liked how the face stands out in this artwork. Everything else is very wild and out there, but the face is calm, which tones down everything else.  I also like how they show movement in the weapon. It is moving a lost, but at the same time it is moving slow.

They also show movement in the clothes, which I had to give them props for. I still have problems with doing making clothes look like there is wind moving it. I don’t however like how the clothes and wind movement don’t go together. With the way they painted the art it looks like there is both harsh and soft winds, which through the picture slightly out of proportion.

I do, however, like how they put great detail into the clothes. They did most of the detail in the armor and bow; more the bow than the armor. It shows that they took time in making it. I also like how they didn’t leave the hair plain. To me, that’s boring and doesn’t bring anything to the face.

The small decorations in the hair keep it from being plain. They also give color to her hair. Speaking of color, I like how the art isn’t dark. The colors bring out a happy feeling, which could say that they were in a good mood when they were working on it. Seeing this, I figured that the colors in ones art shows how the artist felt while working on their art.

Midnight Church

The detail in this photo really brought the picture out. I really love how the artist, Licheus, makes certain parts blend in together. You can tell, just by looking, that they put a lot of time into this. When I draw I try and take my time, because I know that if I take my time it will come out how I want it.  The sky really caught my eye I when I was looking at it. You see all these tiny stars, then out of nowhere… BAM… one really big one.

There is however a few things that I do not like about the art. This picture is a bit dull, leaving it with very little color.  One is the girl that is standing up. For some reason when, when I look at her, she looks plain and doesn’t stand out. I thought the Licheus could have done more than leaving her hair in pigtails. The girl lying down stands out more, and you can’t even see her face. What makes her stand out is the color in her dress.

There is also a part near the top of the picture that had and still has me confused. It looks like a man standing on top of the build, but at the same time it could be a part of the building. In this, it does, however allow people to wonder and use their imaginations to figure out what it is. Even though is confuses me, I decided to leave it alone.
