ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spoiled Sanctum]

As usual, fine work. In this case, though...

The crusader knight appears to be holding a great sword (a type of weapon, not an adjective). But he looks pretty under-equipped for the situation...kinda like a Boy Scout with a stick walking into a room where a mid-level dope dealer is doing business with a few of his street guys, & the Boy Scout declares them under citizen's arrest.

[Swamp Watcher]

There ain't no privacy in his swamp...

SourCherryJack responds:

To be fair, it's not the most inviting of ecosystems.

[Duhakkis]

Is he related to the Democratic presidential candidate from the mid-80's?...

(You know someone would pop the question, sooner or later)

DancwartVonTronje responds:

Sorry, but no idea what you're talking about 😅

[Hellraiser-Mirror]

How long did it take you to draw this?

Tenebrare responds:

This particular one I think was from idea to execution 3 days. How I do those things I sometimes post more in my Tumblr, where most of my HR-fan-follows are and where I can "shit post" a lot more than i can here.

[The Brazilian Devious Circus]

Normally I'm not a fan of T&A cartoons but in this case, I gotta be honest here. I like this more than the Pokemon creatures illo.

[Murky Waters]

If only H.P. Lovecraft was alive to see your work...he'd hire you to illustrate his books. Of that I have no doubt.

[C-MOON]

The guy is really into parkour, isn't he?...

[Job Done]

Let me guess: she's a hired assassin, & the client said he wanted it done messy.

[Jenny holding leg in intense worry]

Quite colorful....do wish there was a bit more of a background, but it's good for what it is.

Have you ever done sketches like this on paper, with markers or colored pencils, etc? It would be interesting to see how it would turn out in trad media.

SerndestsArt responds:

In terms of fully-colored, non-grayscale traditional art really close to my “pencil line-and-wash” digital art, I’ve slightly experimented with traditional versions🤔(including with colored pencils and markers🙂👍) Not mostly in red colored pencil linework like here, but I’ve done a couple. (Coincidentally, I did one of my experiments ~the same time as your comment!😂)

My 1st, traditional “pencil line-and-wash,” almost monochrome sketch was in colored pencil and watercolor on Canson XL cold-pressed watercolor paper, done on Feb. 24. My 2nd experiment was a complementary-colored (by a mouth and eyes😉) smaller quick sketch, done with a fude nib fountain pen, fountain pen ink, 2.0 mm lead holder, 2.0 mm red lead, and alcohol markers in my Pentalic Traveler Artist Sketchbook/Traveler Pocket Journal. This doodle/small sketch was done on Feb. 29. (I didn’t see your NG comment due to also having college homework.🤷‍♀️😵‍💫)

While the sketches themselves were not drawn best imo😥, I loved how they both looked in these mediums!😊If I wanted my quick sketches to have multi-colored, more smoothly-colored blocks, I think I’d use alcohol markers: they bleed, but they have far quicker prep and dry times, especially as a commuting and campus-traversing college student.🙂

I’ll describe more sometime, in my “SerndestArt's Sketchbook” Art Forum (including the thumbnail and recordings of the 1st experiment).
