Description
Idk how but I just finished this in like less than 2 hours which is friggin crazy for me cause I usually take twice as long for stuff like thisAnyways, kinda tried to draw in a more chibi or unique style I guess and this is what happened and I love this little guy to be honest ovo
Could be some PMD character or something

Used one of my own pens for the outlines and grass and for the shading I used a marker brush which is pretty much the one out of Honrupis speedpaints And boi is this marker a ton of fun ovo

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this critique, it helps me a lot and I really appreciate it when people take some of their time to write one just to help me out! ^^
So first of all, don't worry, your critique is great :3
Yeah that is true, I often don't put too much work into the background if I make one at atll and it's one of the things I should really push myself to do more
And yeah, there is so much fanart around and well especially cause it is fanart it is of course not really original xD
Very good point here, that is one of the things I kinda missed and that I still have to work on which is integrating the character into the background in the right way which includes coloration and lighting of the background and character and I kinda messed that up here, thanks for pointing it out, didn't notice that before ovo
Thanks a lot for all the compliments and the constructive feedback, it really helps me a lot and I'll try my best to provide more content in the future! ^^

Quick critique not gonna go into too much depth here
Great line-work, one or two spots I can see where I doesn't hold up so well, for example it's right jaw/cheek, bit of a wobbly line there, and around the back where the plant-thing on it's back meets it's rear legs, there's a bit of an overlay.
Lighting is solid, one minor grievance I have is the source of the light. From what I can gather, the light is coming from the left side (from the viewer's perspective), so the source of the light must also be coming from that side, however, it's rear-left leg appears to be lit from the same source as the face and front legs, which wouldn't make sense as naturally, the body would block the light, the shadows and lighting on the ground also make it look odd.
Colours are bright and vibrant, perfect for setting the upbeat and adventurous tone of the piece, colour smoothing is not perfect, but I don't see that as being necessary, nor would I argue that it would be improved if this was the case.
Another point to make is that what is shown of the irises, while obviously intentionally large to convey the chibi-like artstyle you were going for, either imply that they are extremely large circular eyes, which when it's looking forward, you would not be able to see any of the white in it's eyes, or imply oval, or cat-like eyes.
Overall, a very solid piece, 5/7 would use as profile picture

I absolutely love the colors and lighting! It gives a sunny and even tropical feel to everything. You also did a well done job with the shadowing. It has nice details and the use of a yellowish tint wherever anything is exposed to light is why I think it looks tropical. The name of your deviation adds to that too! XD The image is clear and sharp. It's not the most original being fan art, however, the orange scarf, the eye design, the hairlike design on top of Bulbasaur's head, and the use of blue patches instead of dark green all are very original to me! I also noticed that His color scheme is a little on the aqua side, sine a canon Bulbasaur is usually slightly yellowish green, so that's another plus. I like your technique. The design is simple, but not too simple. The white streaks that I am guessing to be lines of light are slightly aqua colored, so it really compliments Bulbasaur's main design. The bulb looks semi-translucent. I like how you used eyebrows too! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

If this is a digital art, I'd give it an A, If it was somehow a traditional art, it would be an A++. This looks really nice and I don't even do digital art! I like Bulbasaur, but the eyes are a little too large. But I think that the hair on top of his head makes up for it, because it simply just looks better than having a Bald Bulbasaur. The coloring is a little off, but everyone has their own art style. I would gice this a 5/5 on vision, 4/5 on originality, 4/5 on technique, and 5/5 on impact. Nice art!

Thanks for the critique and all the compliments! ;o;
Yeah this is a digital artwork ^^
True, looking back at it now they are kinda deformed too
So thanks again for taking the time to write a critique and thanks a lot for the feedback! ^^

Wow, it's so adorable and friendly! You've got a really good grasp on the shadows and highlights here. Bulbasaur looks so vibrant and alive! The paint-like style makes it feel homey, attractive, and like a fantastical adventure-type of thing. This Bulbasaur, like the name, really shows some exploration team vibes.
I notice the parts of unshadowed color on the shadows and lighter areas, and it contributes to what makes your Bulbasaur pop out. The hints of brown on the bulb makes it look more like an actual plant. He could just about jump off the screen!
Also, I'm really digging the grass. It gives the atmosphere of the picture a springy, fertile feel, as well as looking great on its own!
This really is a little beaut, and you're right to be happy with it.

Oi no problem :3
I try to respond to everything but it gets a bit overwhelming at times so it sometimes takes one or two weeks till I get to a message
That's cool, but I understand! You've got some really great stuff so you'd definitely get a lot to respond to.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's hard to keep up and still be productive at the same time which is why it sometimes seems like I am gone for a few days which is when I just sit down and draw most of the day or maybe play some games and stuff ovo
I have no idea how people like TsaoShin do it cause he usually replies to almost everything too
Oh my gosh, yeah. I have a problem like that with my art on here. It's hard for me to just sit down and do digital, at least, because I have to keep up with a lot where I am. I don't mind if you go away for a while, I know you're dealing with stuff off of here!
Oh yeah, he's got so many watchers, gets out quality stuff fast, and replies to almost all of them! I have no idea how he does it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, just did it again gdi c:
Got kinda hit by artblock or well, a lot of self-doubt so I got some time to reply to everything again tho :3
And also taking some time to just practise more cause I really need to get better when it comes to drawing stuff without references or correct anatomy and good poses
He draws really fast and during work he's on a pc so he can just reply from there during breaks, I guess that's how he does it? That's at least how I would do it cause I rather do something like that than standing around somewhere and just eat something and do nothing else during a break xD

It's ok dude, you're a really great artist! 
Practice is always good for everybody. It's hard to get things correctly without references,
it's super awesome that you're working to not have to use them! 'o'
Anatomy's kinda weird to grasp sometimes and once you step deep into it
drawing a thing with noodle arms or something messes with you so much, agh.
Working on all these will bring great improvements to your art (it's awesome already 
Cool, that's some efficiency there. It's a good plan!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aaaa thanks ;o;
Yeah indeed and it helped me a good amount :3
Been actually sketching stuff that isn't just for practise lately and it's been going quite well
Like for example this sketch here I made for a collab:
Somehow really looks like something Honrupi would draw tbh but the references I used were just official artworks so rip me
Yeah that's true, I've noticed some mistakes I've been doing ever since where I just saw other people do a thing and just did it as well without getting it, like the kinda 3 shaped mouth of cat like creatures
I often drew that as a D which looks kinda weird and it is actually more like a 3 in perspective where you make one side longer and the other shorter depending on how it is viewed
Kinda hard to describe, it's one of the things where you need to look at some pictures of animals to see it ovo
Yeah I hope so but especially with anatomy practise it takes time till it actually shows or helps you really, I don't expect to see too much improvements in like the next few months
Yeah ovo

Glad your practice has been going well!
And whoa, that looks really cool! It kinda does but it's still you, though, and that's really good.
Don't worry, everyone does mistakes. Although, it is a good thing to understand the art. 'v'
I'm pretty sure I did that as well at some point, just not sure when. But yeah I get what you're saying.
Yeah it can take quite a bit to get down. It's still pretty complicated, haha!
I applaud you in your practicing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks and yeah that's true ^^
I mean it wouldn't really matter anyways cause usually styles constantly change even if it is just a little and you can't copy a style one by one anyways o3o
Yup ovo
Oi ok
Haha yeah, but it's worth it in the end o3o
Thanks ^^

No problem, man! Styles do tend to do that. (Ack my old one was pretty trash)

Yeah that's true ^^
And I know the feeling xD

I really like the style, the lighting and shading parts in particular. It blend really nicely while not being completely uniform like with the air brush tool. And The light isn't just white but a yellow, giving the nice feel of the warm sun. Plus the layer thing with the grass's light is nice and simple. The little white outline also adds a nice effect, though I feel if it was only around the sides where the light is it might look better. But thats really a matter of seeing is with and without the lines and then deciding. A little thing to note biology-wise is that bulbasaur wouldn't have hair like that since he doesn't have fur. He is a dinosaur after all. But great piece over all!

Thanks a lot for the critique and the compliments! ^^
Oh yeah, the funny thing the actual color of the light is red but I used a luminosity layer so it turned yellow on most parts due to the colors
Shading with black and white is a bad idea since it kinda looks lifeless, I mostly use red for highlights and blue at the time tho really any combination of a warm and cold color works there :3
Mh yeah, I kinda added the outline cause I wanted it to look a bit like a sticker or something but it didn't look good around the grass so I left it away there, here is a version without the oultine but I guess that is kinda up to preference:
And yeah, I know they usually don't have hair or anything like that but I wondered how it would look with it and I liked it so I left it in :3
So thanks again for taking the time to write such a detailed critique!

Look who's talking. Care to specify why you wrote such negative stuff about this art?
I read the critique and looked at the picture. Doesn't seem to me you actually have a valid reason to put down someone's work.
my work you could put down since it sucks but yeah sure whatever
