Aalasteir's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beta Pokemon]

You’ve captured the atmosphere beautifully. Can you describe your creative process?

HibbySloth responds:

Of course! I do extremely rough WIPs, focus on line art and flat coloring in SAI, then playing with brushes for a painted background look.

[OCtober Day 20: That's GROSS!!!]

Your use of light is incredible. How do you determine when your art is ready to be published?

ElectroNat responds:

Thanks!! And I'm not sure tbh, I just kinda work on it until it looks done. Then I give it a once over to make sure I didn't miss any glaring issues, as well as add any details I missed, then away it goes

I love how vibrant this is! What advice has helped you in making your art?

hypnadot responds:

lots of advice but generally for design i learned to live by a "less is more" philosophy which is why i tend to strip down most characters i draw and focus on features that make them stand out. another is to keep being inspired. i have done a lot of changes to my style over the months whether it's noticeable or not and most of those changes came from consuming other pieces of work. experimenting is a great way to keep art from being boring. and as for staying hungry, hard work should pay off for everyone that displays it but i feel it getting harder for artists every day. but, i gotta push forward and not let that bug me. my stuff should continue to be here for ppl to see.

[Tankman but is an anime moe girl lol]

Your technique is top-notch.

GummyMJ responds:

Thank you!! :3

[Michael Arklight]

The colors here are terrific. What part of the creative process do you find most fun?

Xhashaseed responds:

- The sketching is the hardest because I have a tough time visualizing
- Getting the flats down, right now, is the most fun, i get to play with high contrast a lot
- The colors in this surprised me so I'm going to try it again with my next picture, normally i don't like working with color but i found this new technique on accident and i want to see if i can do it again! I like the layered paint feel.

[Inktober Day 6: World Breaker]

This looks so professional!

AceArcalas responds:

Thank you so much! ^_^

[Spooky Lizzy 👻👻]

You have very sophisticated shape language. How did you develop your style?

HeavensAlternate responds:

It's hard to say but I've just been highly inspired by many artists and try to replicate what I really like about there style and slowly develop my own in a way !!

[Reward - OLE!]

The proportions are perfect. How long does it usually take you to complete a piece?

Kazenishi responds:

thank you a ton!!
it depends on the piece and how many I'm working on at the time, but for rewards I mostly always finish within a month. This one was a bit more elaborated (extra character) if I'm right I took from 2 to 3 weeks to finish.
