Dolphin-Chan69's art Reviews on Newgrounds

dude rn your art style is relatively underdeveloped and slightly untamed, but i know when you get experience it's gonna be hype af. This is gonna be one of the coolest fucking art styles i swear. You just gotta learn how to get rid of the stiffness. The Stiffness, flat colors, and shading are holding you back. Imma send some links to some videos on how to lose stiffness in your art and how to shade if that's chill because i absolutely love your artstyle. A tip i learned it no Pillow shading. I'll send some links to some images too. I also might suggest not using grey background, and if you do you might want to add some texture. I'd suggest adding some specific texture or pattern to the background of your art to make it come off as more iconic or stylized. Maybe like a gradient. Personally for me i love checkerboard. I can't get enough of it. By the way i'd also suggest that rather than using black or grey for the shading and just lowering the opacity, I'd recommend using actual colors themselves and experimenting with filters. Depends on what you use to draw. I use Ibis Paint X. I actually use a bit of filtering in my art to get that texture i like. I also love how your art takes inspiration from 90s cartoons. My Art style is kind of a weird Frankenstein. I try to take inspo from Kingdom Hearts, 2000s anime, Invader Zim, Lisa Frank, Literal Hat, Eboch Ink, and many more at the same time. It's mainly rooted in the 00s and early 2010s. It's how i've been developing my art style ever since i was a child. As a kid i always wanted to be an artist, like a really good one so i went out of my way to start copying like, pokemon and my little pony and Sailor moon because i was like, 7. I was really into the 2000s anime stuff, like those nightcore thumbnails. I would ask for how to draw books all the time when i was a kid. I'd be incapable of quitting art even if i could. It's difficult to discourage me from art because it's my favorite hobby of all time. Like, you could talk shit about my art but your words won't matter in the long run because it's not like i'm going to drop something i've been dreaming about and obsessing over since i was child. Besides, i'm almost addicted to art. I think something up in my imagination, i gotta have it on paper. I gotta have it right in front of me as a tangible thing. Since i was a kid, when i thought up some cool shit i was like "Put that shit on paper." and i did. Everytime i wanted to see an image of something, i would draw it. I wanted a picture of an Absol in my room? Draw it myself. I didn't want someone to do it for me as a kid lmao. Don't ever listen to anyone who talks shit about your art, because their stupid comment won't even matter years from now. You might not even remember their comment. Think about how great of an artist you'll be if you keep pushing and practicing and grinding. My best advice to maintaining motivation is just simply wanting your ideas on a paper as a tangible thing in front of you. Idk maybe it's just me being slightly materialistic. Oh also i was motivated by Music. I have too many pieces that are based around songs.

I like the way the blue looks on her skin tone. I actually don't know if this sounds racist but it reminds me of Obsidian. You know like the rock? I love the glow. It's so pretty. I don't mean to sound either racist or like some SJW for focusing on her skin tone but the tone paired with the hair looks super pretty. It just crossed my mind. I also love her eyes and eye shadow. She's really pretty.

I have no idea what is happening in this photo. 5 stars.

Last night was a most enjoyed sleep i've actually had in a while. It only lasted 3 hours. The night before last night I managed to sleep even 12 hours, but i kept waking up in the middle of it. I took 3 melatonin pills that night. 4 last night. I'm not allowed to sleep for one long period and just enjoy it. My body only ever wants me to be asleep in the middle of fucking class no matter how hard i try to control the sleep track. It's been like this ever since i was a child. Once when i was 11 i stayed up for 3 or 4 days before i finally had an anxiety attack due to the sleep deprivation. My body can only sleep unless i've tired it out to the brink.
