ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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).

[Hellraiser - Baptismus Impius]

This gives new meaning to "washed in the blood of the lamb"...

What media did you use to make this wonderful piece?

Tenebrare responds:

Blender and Photoshop. :)

[Lust]

We don't see too much homoerotic stuff on here, so this is a change of pace.

The piece ain't bad overall but the darkness obscures a lot of it. I understand why you did it...fits in with the theme & all. But widening the overhead spotlight just a little bit would help this illo a great deal.

Folbeer responds:

This is a personal style, most of the works, if you look at the art tape, made in a similar style

[Twin Koi]

The heads could be a bit more fishlike...the scales & fins are great. The piece certainly looks worthy of inking onto some triad member's back.

7darkriders responds:

thank you for the feedback

[HUNTER QUEEN VEENA]

Is it Hunter Queen Veena, or Harlem Pimp Veena?...but seriously, she looks dangerous enough.

Most of the colors are on the warm side. Maybe put in some cooler hues in the shadowed areas for balance next time?...just a thought.

vonschloss responds:

You're meant to think she's just some entitled rich lady, but then you realize you're fucked when you find her sitting in the throne of the guild.

[Graphite Mushroom X]

It looks more like "Junior Graphite Mushroom X".

I gave an extra star for the cuteness. The girls will love this piece.

DonaldLPatten responds:

They love them ;)

[jack skellington fanart]

You caught Skellington's spirit, for sure.

It would be interesting to know what tools/media you used in making this piece.

charlesfrederic responds:

thanks!, I used old pens, colors and markers I found

[Two Minute Poses VI]

This is wonderful.

I'd thought of posting figure-drawing practice pieces too, but didn't think they'd get much attention. Guess you proved me wrong...gotta find a model now.

Did you stick to lines deliberately? If not, then next time consider adding in some shading to describe the model's form a bit better.

DonaldLPatten responds:

Each of these were two minute poses so I only made line drawings. I focus on shades and tones when the pose lasts longer. I’ll be posting more soon.
