Fixing YOUR art!

[@mooonblooom]

I 100% get where those who dislike this series are coming from, because it's true that most of the "fixing your art" videos aren't done very well. However, these actually give good critique and talks about how to work certain elements in a stylized way. Because yes, stylization is GOOD, but studying anatomy, colors, etc. are all aspects that are vital to learn as an aspiring artist. Lots of art criticism videos are flat-out bullying and turning stylized art into realism, which is pretty shitty. These give good CONSTRUCTIVE critiques to artists who ASK for them! People just need to realize that not all critique is bad. **Constructive** critique is GOOD and is something you will HAVE to get used to if you ever want to pursue an art career.

[@poumybeloved]

Because she is actually professional and knows her job pretty well. Most people who makes videos like these are self-taught (there isnt anything wrong with it, although if we generalize it, its like that.) and still learning things. I agree with you.

[@ElizabethWillson2014]

Bullying is a bit dramatic and I think kinda rude. She is a pretty soft kind critic considering others

[@faithminic5570]

she's pretty soft with it all, especially compared to some other 'fixing your art/roasting your art' series i've seen. Plus, she keeps the pieces in the same style, while still 'fixing' it.

[@pemanilnoob]

@@ElizabethWillson2014they weren’t talking about the person in the video, OBVIOUSLY

[@queenofpents3442]

I agree. Huge difference btw constructive criticism and roasting or bullying just for the views.

[@lindsaybee93]

i would love to see more critiques from that character design perspective you did for austin! the posing especially was really helpful and inspired me a lot!

[@kfish6347]

I agree!

[@lauren7998]

ID LOVE THIS SO MUCH PLEASE DO!!

[@kiirakunn]

people crying about stylization need to understand 1. you need to know the rules, to break the rules 2. these artists SUBMITTED these drawings for a voluntary critique aye

[@SmbodyIused2know]

TRUEEE. Like stylisation is one thing but that doesn’t stop a drawing from looking anatomically/visually offset

[@labaker4285]

I like the tip about the fingers, I enjoy seeing 3 in simple cartoons like the Simpsons but couldn't figure out why it felt weird seeing it in more elaborate art online

[@corruptedchannelx745]

I know! Originally people used 3 fingers so it was easier to animate, but I don’t get why people do that when their art is more detailed and they don’t need to simplify it

[@AltKaxREAL]

I myself have 2 characters that have 2 fingers and 1 thumb in each hand (kinda the like the Ninja Turtles), I always had a bit of trouble figuring out "how do I make this look normal?" and then I just figured by making their hands be shaped normally, just making it seem that they have no fingers in between their pointers and pinkies, the hands looked a little monstrous and very sharp which i didn't really like, it looks much more natural now

[@BBrostik]

@@corruptedchannelx745 Cos most of the time its solely a preference and they wanna stylise their characters like that. I vastly prefer drawing 4 fingers for most of my characters cos I love the 4 finger trope and how cartoony it looks. Nothin wrong with that

[@tuvalu636]

@@BBrostikit’s just that it doesn’t really work for a more detailed style, unless you have a very cartoony style…

[@slashbat2375]

She's not a human character so I can see why they made a three finger choice. If you watch the dragon Prince all the elves have three fingers+thumb, but humans have 4 fingers+thumb. I think it's an interesting world building difference

[@ChantelleArts]

you critique so politely, I don't get how people could be annoyed 🥺

[@spacegoldenretriever8678]

I love how you fix drawings without changing the style, and give valid criticism without bringing people down

[@LIttle_paper_h3artzz]

Without changing the style? Yeah.... Totally..

[@kfish6347]

My favourite thing about these videos is how I start thinking ‘wow that’s great.. how is she gonna improve this?’ And then this shifts to ‘well duhhhh!!! How didn’t I see that!’ 😂❤

[@desperating]

Literally!

[@AlphyAdventures]

the way you critique this is way more helpful than most "fixing art pieces" I've seen. This is actually really great!

[@VVesteria]

I’d say the most helpful person I know in this genre is naoki saito. He never changes the original vision of the art but always improves the technical aspects of it.

[@haytendo]

thanks for the critique Jackie! I agree with what you said and I will definitely start drawing 5 fingers haha

[@dragonmoonwave]

Don’t change for her, 3 fingers looks nice.

[@frankieloinandgroin]

⁠​⁠@@dragonmoonwave I can’t believe you’re so butthurt over her content that even when the person being consensually critiqued LIKES the changes she made, you try to convince them that their own choice isn’t actually their choice. Change and grow as person.

[@amme.m]

If anyone is wondering about the pink fairy character she is the mc from “ Mia and me” hope this helps

[@Estella_alsoknownasgabi123]

I remember watching it as a kid! But couldn't remember the name! Is it still on Netflix because I want to rewatch it and see how it is! I don't have much memory of it, only the character

[@faeryeclair]

@@Estella_alsoknownasgabi123 yeah its still on netflix! only the 2nd and 3rd season im pretty sure

[@EvieWren]

@faeryeclair Unfortunate they took off the first... I really liked that season, and never did finish it.

[@BrokenPencilArts]

Oh my God I was addicted to that show as a kid... I genuinely forgot it existed 💀💀

[@Silly_Goober.net21]

I LOVE this its not just turning them into asian anime girls in your style to the point your recreating it like sam does thank you so much for keeping the artstyle :)

[@austinsalinasart]

Thank you Jackie, I absolutely loved the advice that you gave me on my character, I have never really looked at a character of mine like that. The way you were able to bring it to life, I feel like my art has always struggled in that sense. But the advice you gave me is something I’m now looking at through all of my characters, thank you again!!!

[@giftofthewild6665]

Cool, which one of these was yours?

[@mustanggox]

i love this series!! The people who are upset about it are coming from a place of ignorance about how it works.

[@teamili7957]

And isn't it her patreon supporters submitted their drawings to be critiqued? People always assume that artists do this to random people without knowing stuff lol

[@wondaraptor]

@@teamili7957 for real, not like its kooleen who is rude and just redrawing pictures in her art style, there's actual art tips that help

[@lovebirdwillingten]

oh no, that's not my mindset. I think she's a wonderful artist and is AMAZING. I'm not even upset, I'm just... a tiny bit bothered that she "fixes" stylistic choices. But I get it!! and that's okie, I just want to say that the people who are 'upset' aren't coming from ignorance. Have a nice day!

[@mustanggox]

@@lovebirdwillingten That's fine, I understand the concerns. To be fair she does acknowledge that it's all subjective, and that the changes are a matter of opinion. What I mean when I say it comes from ignorance is that many people don't know that it's even requested by the person getting critiqued. Thanks for the response, it helped hearing another view on this! :)

[@lovebirdwillingten]

@@mustanggox aww, I get it. Yeah, your welcome for the new perspective! I like seeing how different people think and your point is really good. Bye! ☺️

Except for changing stylistic choices and redrawing an entire character

[@tr4sh.doll_]

@@dragonmoonwave the characters still look like themselves, they keep their personality and their style she mainly brings technical improvements, I don't have materials for digital art so for now I only draw on paper but if I submitted my art to someone to improve it I would totally want to submit it to her because her critiques are objective and useful while keeping it polite

[@BackYardRejects]

i love how you dont just "fix art" by drawing it in your artstyle! you actually give good tips and critiques thank fuck omg

[@ParacelsusCaspari]

those notes were things i wouldn't even have thought of but they enhanced it so much! thanks a lot

[@selkiefluff]

I'm not a beginner artist, but I tend to get hyper focused on one part of the drawing and get completely blinded to the design being wrong or anatomy errors. Yours and Naoki Saito's videos have been extremely useful in thinking "wider" about my art and identifying why it looks "off" by the end.

[@themoonwarrior]

What I personally love is she actually helps and doesn’t redraw it to her own style, I’ve noticed some artists doing it so this video is really helpful for me ^^

[@Lyn_.00]

this is so far the best "fixing your art" video bc she doesnt totally change the characters features instead just adjusts the propotions correctly and fixes the poses i enjoyed the video alot too its not too boring and also she doesnt critizise the artists instead advices them on the mistakes they are making and also learned alot during the video😊

[@seasideoranges]

out of all art critique videos I’ve seen, yours have got to me my favorite. i always learn something from your videos, your very respectful and kind, and you always make sure to not change the style of the art you critique drastically. i really appreciate that!

[@queenofpents3442]

Love how you're not making the characters YOUR style but just addressing the changes and fixes in a practical way. A lot of artist on YT tend to "modify" not fix the art so much it just looks like their own character and not the senders. Great job and I learned a lot from this :)

[@ogkpopper]

You're so great at making a point without changing the style of the artist, I love it! 💕

[@joshuasmith7089]

I love how you don't remove certains charather's features, like how you kept the first art strong chin 😊

[@rafa3l_22]

I love this series, you politely give criticism. I’m often scared to show my art to others for tips because I’m bad at taking things lightly but watching this and seeing how polite you are it makes me want to show my art more and get criticism

[@faithminic5570]

oh man I think this is my favorite 'fixing your art' series, because you are not only telling us what is wrong, but also demonstrating it in a way that makes it apparent that you can apply this anywhere! Can't wait to bingewatch the rest of the series, thanks so much.

[@elizacarrie7433]

Hi! I love your KZbin shorts and I followed for these exact videos! Your eye for composition and anatomy have really helped me correct my own drawings without rage quitting. I’m a coder by day and an artist by night, but used to have so much trouble with drawings just not looking right, which always makes me feel discouraged. Your critiques have really really been encouraging😊

[@evodolka]

Really nice work, i like how this is more art advice rather than the usual forms of "fixing" art online

@@amarantalagana1490 perhaps, but the difference make it seem worse than it needed to be. Too big of a contrast imo. Also both thin and rounder legs are valid.
