Description
Information: In this picture, Yami, Yugi and Atemu are from an anime called "Yugioh"! ^_^Finally done it!! *throws confetti* I've finally finished this picture in colored version! *nearly faints from exhaustion* It's a request for so I hope you like it, my friend! ^^
Again, I have absolutely no better idea for doing the backgrounds..I'm suck at it..>.< So I hope you like this kind of background, it gives an Egyptian feeling isn't it? Since they look like sand in Egypt..XD
Don't ask me why I put Yami's and Yugi's hair in light purple colour instead of their usual hair colours..I don't know why either..-_-;
I've changed the words : "It's all because of the Puzzle that brought them together...", I personally think this fits better than the previous one (the sketch)..don't you think so?
Anyways, enjoy this picture and as always, faves and comments are welcomed!
P.S: I still have so many request to do..T__T and the school starts make things worse as well..*sighs in despair*

from 's #BreakoutTeam !
hello! i'm new to the critiquing team, so I was supposed to catch up to all the previous pictures as well~ so this is your belated critique from me <3
well the first thing that I see is the anatomy problems... which other ppl probably have already told you, so I'm gonna skip it XD
another thing that stands out to me is the way you shade. I assume that you smudged from the way it looks. Smudging like what you do is good for furry looking stuff. and I don't think everything here is furry owo... so shadows on things like the pants and the clothes should be more clear-cut. meaning more hard edges. the best way to shade is to combine hard and soft edges together (in my opinion at least, this would change depending on your style).
the style of the bg fits the Egyptian theme... unfortunately I don't think the character fit in it very well... so in order to make them fit in with the bg, you can either have some edges of the drawing fade into the bg, or incorporate the color of the bg into yugi, like in the shadow or something. this doesn't have to be extensive, but as long as you have a little, it'll help make things blend better.
other ways I have seen ppl do this is to have glowy edges around the characters, and it'll work well with this pic since it is composed of the same characters showing up multiple times.
so this is just a matter of techniques. you can pick up a lot of small tricks like that by reading tutorials. even if you don't use most of what the tutorials does, you can still learn little things that you can do to make your drawings look better~~
oh and another thing, watermarks usually don't show up that prominent in a pic, artists usually fade them out at least a little so it won't distract ppl from the picture itself too much.
keep up the good work! 8D

oh, I see...congratz on getting to be a member of the BreakoutTeam..
lol, understood..and yeah, I received that critique far too many times but I just can't get it right for some reason..T__T
ah, yes..I use smudge a lot..XD That's part of my colouring style since I don't like to follow those normal looking colouring styles..
I see..well..unfortunately, I don't quite understand thos concept because I learn everything on my own, including drawing and colouring..so you could say I'm a self-taught artist..XD and also, I have tons of Photoshop skills I haven't learnt and mastered so I need some time to improve my skills, but I'll try to follow your advice..if I can understand what you mean that is..XD
Hmm..that's a good idea..I like glowing stuff..:3 thanks for the suggestion..^^
Yeah, I really need to find more tutorials, the problem is that I'm studying for a big exam in May-June so for now, I have to stop drawing/colouring until my exams are over..
Yep, I receive that similar comment about my watermarks/signature from Kairi, so I'm going to use watermarks prepared by DeviantART from now on..^^
thanks a lot, I will! ^^

lol well the anatomy stuff is just technical skill that will come naturally the more you draw~~~
and hmm... most of the artists I know prefer not to smudge, but if you are able to make smudging look cool then go for it! >D but before smudging, basic shading skills are still needed <3
and no worries! I learned this on my own too *w* a lot of artists here are self taught, and what I said about the bg and blending came from what I have seen with artists that are really good lol XDD so by looking at very good pictures and try to figure out WHY it looks good and think about what the artist did to MAKE it that way will dramatically improve your own perception of art. so I think ppl need to do things other than just practice to no end owo. observing others help A LOT.
and you will learn more skills over time~~~ and there's no need to rush~ so do things at your own pace.
also, if you need to find tuts, I have some pretty good ones plus some resources in my collection~~ they are under "helpers" so take a look if you are interested.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, that's true..so I will practise more often..^^ Can I know which part of anatomy I didn't do right?
Can you check out my newest artwork, "Collab - Reunion (Colored)" and give me a comment on shadings and hightlights? I do the colouring and that's my newer, improved colouring style..
I see, you're absolutely right! XD Okay then, I follow another of your good advice and observe more beautiful arts! X3
yes, thanks a lot..
Ooo..cool! I'll go check it out, thanks for telling me this! ^^

hmmm I can't exactly pinpoint what's wrong on the anatomy... but everything looks a little awkward to me... I get the feeling that not all the joints are placed right, especially the ones on the hands. which I applaud you for btw, since most others would give up even trying to draw them at your lvl.
the cheek on the bottom left looks too pointy. and the ears ... are a little too round?
I think your problem is not so much the proportion, which you did a pretty good job on, but the naturalness of the bodies. you have the body parts at the right spots, so now you need to make them look more natural, like put more curves where there should be, like the face, and make the structure of the hands better.
and I'll go take a look at that pic~~~
ohh btw, I just found another and probably better tutorial collection ---> [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see, I'll try to make them look right next time..^^ and really? Thanks! XD Even though I hate drawing hands, I would still have to draw them out..if not, I wouldn't improve..
Oh, okay then..I guess the pointy cheeks and round ears are part of my drawing style..I don't like drawing complicated and realistic ears since it takes longer time for me to make them right..so I draw them round..it's easier..XD but I'll try to make the cheeks a little rounder next time..^^
Oh..I understand..thanks for the advice and suggestion..
thanks, tell me your opinion once you've done checking out that picture! ^^
Thanks a lor for the link, I saw it..it's pretty useful so thanks so much for showing me this journal!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well... when I was struggling with coloring and drawing, I didn't exactly know what my style was. I was experimenting with a lot of different drawing and even coloring styles to see which one I was comfortable with. If you already have tried a lot of different ways of drawing, and you like your current one better then stick with it. but if you have been doing this since the start, then you might consider trying some other styles. who knows, you might like something else better.
and yay that link was useful *w*
I wish you luck 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm..maybe I'll try to change my styles but some people told me that they like my current style because they think it's unique..
yep, thanks a lot for the link!! ^^ *hugs*
Thanks, you too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you don't really have to change it, you can just experiment... well maybe you are that sure of your style then stick with it~~~ what I said was just my opinion after all~~ plus I don't know all that much about other styles anyways XDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, experimenting with different art styles can be fun..^^
Thanks a lot for your opinion and advice, I'll practise more on my drawing and colouring! ^^

It makes it seem really nice. *V*

VA Breakout Team Critique~
I'll be break down every little thing I can.
*Your overall presentation is nice. 1 thing though, when your leaving your site/signature you wanna make that small. small enough that it doesn't pop out but still big enough so that people can see it when they zoom in. when it's so big like that, it makes the picture unapproachable sometimes because people don't wanna look @ that, it takes the attention away from your main focus. that's why watermarks are so faded yet you can still see them so people don't steal your artwork.
*Words. Font tells a lot of things for a picture & some people just think it's okay to put whatever they want & it'll be fine. but fonts make an impact on the mood your setting for your picture. I think the font you used was good, but I think you should have went for more of a script/old look because of the word choice you made. It also looks kinda, just there, like b/c your signature takes up so much room as well as that wording, it makes the picture look cramped. that's just my outlook on it though...
*BG. I like where your going with the bg to make it more antique-like but it kinda blends with the top-right char's skin as well as the bottom left char's pants. like xephie had said it does dull the picture, but i do like the idea you were going for~^^
*Left-bottom char. as I already said, his pants kinda blends with the bg. & they kinda look strange b.c of the shadows you put, you wanna be careful that you don't shadow it too much & when you do, make different sized shadows, because all folds aren't the same. His hands look off. I have a problem with hands too...hehe ^^''' for his right hand you would be able to still see part of his pinkie even in that position & for his right hand erase that extending line over the knuckles.
*Top-left chars. the one on the left, he's face is too narrow, which places his eyes too close together. if the eyes are closed for the one on the right there wouldn't be the lines inbetween, & you would raise the lower line a bit higher. the placement of his ear looks a bit off too. The hair for the 2 of them look off though, unlike the other chars it looks like their hair has no structure, it looks like it's up in flames or something b/c of the blurrrr ^^'...
*Top-right char. He was draw & colored really well, great job! structure is good as well as anatomy (and his hand ^^). shading of his clothes looks nice~
This may seem like you did a lot wrong but you didn't, it'll all little things that I explained a lot for. The picture looks really nice & I can see the hard work you put into it~ keep working @ it & you'll become a really great artist~

I see, thanks for the tips, I'll try to make watermarks (but still, I don't know how to do it..-_-
yeah, you're right about fonts but since I'm not pretty good at designing fonts, I will have to find more font tutorials..XD But I'll remember that and try to make the fonts look better next time..
Hmmm..you got a point..XD Yeah, it kinda blends with the brown skin and brown pants..but well, I'm always suck at backgrounds because I have no idea what to do with it..but I will try..
Yeah, I figure that my shadow skills has gotten worse so I'll try to fix it in my newest deviation "Collab-Reunion (Colored)" which I think has a better shadow skill..you can check that out and critique if you like! :3
Yep, I'm definitely suck at drawing hands! T__T I can NEVER draw them right, I don't know why..because of the angles on each fingers I guess..which is really hard to make them right..*groans* but again, I'll try to improve..
Yeah, I have problems with the eyes too, I always draw one of the eyes too close to the nose..-_-; I just don't want to characters look fat..well..I'll try to fix that next time..XD
When you say the top-left characters's ear look off, which character do you mean? Both of them? 
Yay! At least I done one character right, thanks a lot! X3
thank you very much for your support, critique and encouragement, I'll try my best! ^^ *hugs* I really like the way you critique things, at least now I understand fully where I make my mistakes, people told me I did anatomy wrong but I don't know which part of anatomy is wrong and that's really frustrating..>.<

hehe there's a watermark option when you submit it to dA if you don't wanna make one yourself ^^, also you can just make your signature smaller~
just try matching the fonts according to your theme of your pic~ get your friends to look @ it too ^^
lol, if you would like more critiques you can send it to the group next week~
heh, it s'okay, i suck too! >< 
i have problems with making eyes the same size & arched correctly, & the left eyes are always better for me haha >< so just keep practicing & you'll be fine~
the one on the right lol >< the shorter one ^^"'''' hehe... ohhhh i see...you would have to blue more around the picture and such...
lol no problem~
your welcome~
awws thank you~ hehe...your the 2nd person I critiqued

Yeah, I'll try to practise more when I get some free time..
I see, okay then, thanks! ^^ and yeah..I want to do that but in the end, I can't..I'm lack of "photoshop effect skills"..XD
yep, you helped me a lot and I will continue to ask for critiques in the future!
I see, well..good luck critique people's artworks! XD
I need a very detailed critique so I know where I did my mistakes, and writing critiques should be long..

-Breakout Team Critique-
I think that your piece fits the Yu Gi Oh theme very well. With the ancient-like background and the ornamental clothing.
What you could improve on, though, is the anatomy of your drawing. Looking at your characters, there seems to be little things here and there that are "off". One thing, for example, are the eyes on the mid-left yugi. They seem to be a bit too close to each other. Furthermore there are also slight placements here and there that would make your pieces anatomy look somewhat better.
Also, although the background is very thematic, it also somewhat dulls the effect of the art. Somehow, I think the piece would look better without it, or with another type of bg. But that's just my 2 cents worth.
Overall I think this deviation is a bit simple, to put, but it's good practice.
You have a lot of good basic skills down, and I think that, given time and practice, you will be able to become a good artist.
If you want to get a grade out of 5, you can request, otherwise I won't post it here

Yay! Thanks a lot, I glad you think so..:3
Ugh, yeah..almost all the critiques I get are about anatomy and the hands..I can never draw them right! Grr..XD
Hmmm..I really need to work on my anatomy..I need some guide or tutorials..T__T but thanks for pointing that out..
Maybe it's because I used dark colours for the background? XD I'm suck at backgrounds seriously..XP I don't have any good idea for that most of the time..>.< in your opinion, what kind of background should I use for this piece?
yeah..it's simple all right..XD but I don't want to make things complicated, that's why..
Hurray! That's great to hear, I'll try to improve and practise more if the studies don't stand in my way..XD
Of course, I would like to know the grades please! ^^ Thanks a lot for your critique..:3

I think that the hands need a little bit of work, maybe make his hips slightly wider and space the eyes a little farther apart.
Other than that, I think it looks very nice. I love the way you drew the hair. I love the feeling of happiness and mystery that surrounds the picture. I also love the bright colors you used. It looks great to me.
Overall... nice work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, one of my weaknesses is the hands, I can NEVER draw them right! T__T but I'll try..
when you mean make his hips slightly wider..which character do you mean? All of them? XD
Aww..thanks for the nice compliment! ^^ I glad you think so..:3
Yeah, emotions is one of my strongest point in drawing, I LOVE drawing different emotions especially funny ones! ^^
yay! I used the right colours! XD I'll make sure I use more bright colours next time..
Thank you!! *hugs* ^_^
