I do agree with the highly saturated and contrast pieces. If reccomend tryijg out a few more natural pieces and just try to get them as realistic as possible. Maybe a simple background, no string highlights or shadows. It would be something completely different from what you usually do but I think it could be a good learning exercise on what to improve stripped down to the basics. In the top piece, some ripples around the feet, the tail, and where the water droplets are falling would do a lot of good <3 |

Okay here goes nothing... In the first picture I think the glow is a weird shape and I'm not sure where its coming from, The glow also doesn't fade out and cast opon the room... Is it mist/steam just carrying the light? In the second peice of art the lense flare is off and I don't know if its me but it just doesn't look right, I also don't like how the highlights are so much brighter then the shading and the horse color making it look shiny and wet. You should have chosen a lighter color horse for peice 2. Your art is really good and I don't have any more criticism. |

I think I have to agree with most that has been said (forgive us). I find the pieces too saturated in which the background steals everything. I can't even tell which colour the horse is. For example, I have to assume the horses in all the pictures you posted are black because I can't tell the difference. The darkness is way too present and you hide a lot of details that there's no reason for. On the first piece, the light at the bottom seems quite unnatural to me. The stronger light is on the back legs on the horse but it looks like it's hanging in the air, it's very weird. The second picture has that lens flare which I would erase. That piece has already a lot of things to look at and it distracts from the horse which should be the focus. The yellowy light is not helping it. Everything on that picture is a shade of yellow or orange. The third one is nice, is simple but too blue. I feel like you could have a more colour variation in there. You can add strikes of blue but without eating the horse's colour. Fourth one, again my main issue is the light. I feel there are areas of the horse that are lighted up and shouldn't. The dark areas on the horse are perhaps too dark. While everything is under the same light, the shadows on that mountain on the left has a different shadow that the one on the horse. The left wing seems to be on a really weird position. I really can't figure it out. Other than that, the body prep has a ton of work and the manes are super pretty. I think we all just want to see them in popping colours :D |

Beautiful art, Tasi! At first glance I couldn't find anything wring with it, but on closer inspection... I agree with everyone's ideas about how all the backgrounds are taking away from the horse. Try darkening those a bit, or add a slightly darker border, to make the horse pop a bit more. In the first piece, the horse is standing in a ring of light, but the light only reaches the underside of it. The light should be hitting more of the horse, as it's so bright. Up its back, behind its tail, at least half of its forelegs, etc, since it's able to hit an object farther away from the horse. In the second one, the horse looked slightly out of place with the background, as it looks more painted. I'd suggest working with the background until it has a more painted look. The light also seems to be coming from the back, and is very bright, so it should hit the horse's back more, and cast a slight glow on the back of the mane, ears, and back of forelock. There also seems to be spots of light on the horse's neck and face, which I'd suggest toning down a bit, or removing altogether. In the third one, again with the lighting, the glow from the horse's wings is vey bright. I'd suggest reflecting that onto the horse. As well, it seems that parts under the feet are glowing, but that doesn't reflect onto the legs. Try fixing the legs so that it mirrors the glow underfoot. The light currently on the horse pops out a lot, so I'd suggest blending that a touch more. In the fourth, again, try making the background look a tiny bit more painted. As well, I'm confused about that wing. Try pointing it forward, or point the background-y one backwards. As well, the mane looks very thick and full on the top of the neck, but there's none below. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for, but perhaps experiment with adding a mane below the neck as well. It also seems like there's a lot of light coming in from the mountains, so try adding a bit of a glow around the horse where the light would be hitting it on the other side. That's about all I have, but I'm a pretty inexperienced artist, so don't completely take this to heart xD I wish I could critique my own art this well :') |

I dont usually critique other peoples pieces. And our styles are not very similar, so I'm going to try and avoid areas that I think would just be a conflict of style. All of what I have to say is me being nit-picky. And I think your art is lovely. The #1 thing that I would point out is that I feel you go a bit overboard with your lighting. I actually really love the highly saturated lighting with the stark colors. Its your style. You have a more fantasy based art style. What I dont enjoy about your lighting is the technique you use lowers the contrast on the horse. In the first piece for example, it is more of an orange mist effect vs. an orange glow. In the fourth piece, again it is more of a yellow mist. The wings would still have stark shadowing under the feathers, yet it gets completely washed out by the lighting. Another nitpick on the lighting would be your hair. You do such a strong job of highlighting and shadowing the body of the horse, and somewhere that disconnects from the hair. I would love to see you explore doing more comprehensive shadowing and highlights in your hair in order to tie it into your body more. Your hairs overall shape and style is fantastic. It just falls flat contrast wise. Onto my third nit pick... the backgrounds. You leave the entire background generally sharp, which makes each piece very busy. It becomes somewhat difficult to really view the subject of the piece. I would love to see you explore some blurring techniques. A great way to better show what I'm saying is place a drink a few feet infront of you on a table. Stare at the drink. Now without taking your focus off that cup/can/whatever, notice how everything in the background is blurred. Now look at something a couple feet behind the cup. You will notice that the cup is now blurred. The same thing should happen with your backgrounds. Once you add a subject, everything behind that subject should be blurred/softened. The third piece with the flowers is actually quite wonderful with this. Everything behind the horse is blurred and it is easy on the eyes. Finally, I would encourage you to explore rim lighting. It is missing in all of your dramatic lighting pieces. |

I think your background or other things are drawing to much attention away from the horse. The first thing people notice or their eyes are drawn to is the horses. But In your case it is the background or other additions. |

Title says what I'm looking for lol, but really I need some constructive critiques about my art. Do. Not. Be. Nice! It won't help anyone, yes you can bring up what I do well and it would actually help. By the way this is for me to improve since I've noticed my pieces are becoming inconsistant as of late in my opinion and I need things to work on as to help with this *stupid* art block I can't seem to get rid of. Love learning plateau's :[ Anyways here are some of my recent works that I love a lot
Okay, here we go! I cannot do art, so I judge it! - 1. Gorgeous piece overall. Immediately, I focus on the bit of rock directly below the horses barrel. It has become a focal point and I think it shouldn't be. The lighting is a bit to bright and unrealistic over the gaskin area, but becaime much better over the hindquarters and barrel. I love the hooves. The horse looks incredible, and I think if you'd darken the glow at the base a bit and let it extend a bit more to the edges and give it a nice face instead of the more abrupt ending it has now, ten out if ten. - 2. Much better focual point, I immediately look to the lens flair and then to that amazing sunflower in the background, (lol), but that mane! I really enjoy the color of this piece. It is quite a bit of red, with little to no contrast, but it works quite beautifully. - 3. Yay! Blue. I instantly focus of the center of the horse, which is amazing. I have nothing bad to say, except for the lighting around the eye is a bit strangely shaped, but I think the piece is amazing. Absolutely, stunning. - 4. There wasn't a huge focal point for me, it seems to be the brightness in the right hand corner, but I then very quickly circled around to the amazing wings. The second thought is a small forehead armor piece would be amazing! But coloring and focal point and everything else is amazing. - You style and skill seems to carry over through your pieces and everything is quite similar. I really enjoy your art. |
