This is a list of deviants who wish to have their art critiqued. They have chosen 3-4 pieces of their work as a sample of their gallery. Some of them have put what they would like to see in the comments and some background information. You may just want to critique the pictures that I have put up but I encourage everyone to critique some of the other pictures in their gallery. All I ask of the people who want to critique these is if you do not like one of their pictures please don’t flame/bash it. Just ignore it if you dislike it. It’s not worth the trouble to hurt someone’s feelings. Also, there is a big difference between critiquing and criticizing! These people only want your critiques.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and give advice to these artists

This is one of my best pictures, but it engenders hardly any interest from anyone, so I would like advice or suggestions on how to make art like this capture the eye.

My photographs gain hardly any interest, so I would like suggestions on what to photograph, and what kinds of photographs that would gain a person's interest.

My photo-manips don't gain a lot of interest either, so I would like suggestions on how to make them look professional, interesting, and eye-catching.

My pictures with backgrounds, like this one, tend to have more views and comments, but what can I do to improve even more? This isn't an art style I always use, but I would mostly like suggestions on the coloring.

The mediums I use the most are pencil and coloured pencil. I am starting to use more of Photoshop CS2, but only a little bit. I love to draw fantasy characters, but much of the time I become lazy during it, so I don't add backgrounds. I need to do that though, I think, in order to make the picture more interesting and have more views.
I mainly draw women, but I would like to know what type of pictures and characters are interesting to people and have suggestions on what I should draw.

~kchuu says “I like critiques on my style, not so much on problems with specific pictures.... But I'll take anything!!” and “For all of these pictures, except for the first, I used Paint Shop Pro 9. I just got Photoshop 1 month ago, so... Ehheh, go easy on me!”

~SabreW0LF says “As for critiques, I'm not really too fussed- I'd like to know what people think of my style, subject matter, methods, lineart, colouring……it's all welcome, it'll all help! Any tips for improving, anatomy, poses, expressions, lighting, shading would also be good.

As for background info…not an awful lot to say. All of it is done entirely on the computer, using MS Paint (yes, really!) and Adobe Photoshop. I don't use a tablet, just a mouse (which I actually prefer, believe it or not). Most of my stuff is anthro, and usually centres around my character "Fangs", but I do a fair amount of other anthro, too. I also do fan-art from time to time, usually centering around games or films. It's difficult to say what I'm inspired or influenced by, because I'm not, really. I just sit down and draw, in my own style, without any references (unless I'm doing a request or something I'm unfamiliar with), other than an art guide to help with anatomy and basic construction.”
