Description It's been awhile since I last drew PLaNxB together, huh? Too long, if you ask me
This was supposed to have been done and posted a month ago, but with the circumstances I couldn't get it done and I didn't want to rush through it. I think it's pretty obvious why.
There are a lot of mistakes in this drawing, but I'm still really happy with how it turned out ^^ I guess that the concept behind this is that it's a photoshoot for Alternative Press Magazine.
For those of you that don't know, Plan B is a fictional post-hardcore band that my friend ~SomethingSmall and I created a few years back. Their sound is basically a cross between The Schoolyard Heroes and Eyes Set to Kill with Chibi from The Birthday Massacre as their lead singer.

Overall

Impact


First off, I really love the concept and the colour schemes used in this. The colours stand out from the black and white without looking obnoxious and it actually looks to me like it could be a band poster.

The shading does a great job of showing depth and texture, especially on Sabrina's skirt and the trim of her corset. I think some areas, such as Jamie's shorts and Nathan's vest, could use more shading to make the areas look less flat. I love how quirky their outfits are and all the little details on them, like the buttons, fabric seams, the spikes, the wrinkles and the jewelry.

The anatomy is nearly spot on, but there are a few things that looked off to me. I'm not sure if it's the pattern on the pants, but the proportion of Danny's torso seems very short in comparison to the others. The shape of Harper's face looks distorted to me because of the way her cheek seems to curve inward. Jamie's eye is s tad too far from her nose, but that's hardly noticeable.

Overall, this is a very beautiful piece and I hope to continue to see more of your refreshing and fabulous works e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="38" height="15" alt="" title="Hug"/>

I hope this critique helped. In some way. In any way. At least it gave you something to read, right?

you know, I'm trying to figure out how I missed Jaimie's eye, now that you mention it xD oh well. Not too much I can do about it now.
Yeah, Nathan's vest is definitely flat-looking. Makes it stand out in a not so appealing way. To be honest, I think I got kind of lazy towards the end while I was shading that area and just wanted to get it done
I definitely screwed up on Danny's torso. I think that ended up happening because I was trying to figure out how to position everyone since Danny is 6'4, Nathan is 5'11, and the girls are 5'5 and under, lol.
I think that what's throwing Harper's face off his her left eye. If you cover it up, her face doesn't look quite as wonky.
Thank you for the critique I really appreciate the feedback. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

OH....wow.
I REALLY like this! The looks on their faces! Oh, our little PlaNxB have come a long way!
I adore the look on Sabrina's face and all their outfits! Nathan's outfit might be a little to flamboyant for him but its a photoshoot so he'd be okay with it. Harper's outfit is lovely. Perfect for her.
And I LOVE how you drew their band logo thing on the side. You're really good with font!
I want to see this in person!

Yes, yes they have! and they're still a blast to draw! ALL OF THE COLORS.
Thank you ^^ yeah, I actually thought that when I was drawing him, but the idea for the shoot was to have each of them wearing one color and black and/or white, so I didn't want to make him to simple looking.
I was hoping so ^^ Thought she'd wear something like that.
Dude, the band logo is always fun. That freakin' kitty seems to have become a permanent part of it.

Its okay if the kitty is permanent! I really like it. I think my brother would like it too. Lately, he's been really into cats. He REALLY wants a kitty.
The best thing about their outfits is that, even though they have their own distinct styles, they mesh well together.
