Also, please watch me on Deviantart if you like my work. I could really use more watchers.

I would have combined this with the other thread you made...but whatever. I like it, very unique in its own strange kind of way.

I like all of these. I'd suggest you get some darker pencils and use them to clear some parts more, because the ones you're using don't really make justice to all the detail.

Bucket List is especially appealing to me, it's so surreal.

Bro, u seriously try to go and join Zaix's shop.
You have a good deal of talent, and I think it would work well.

Leokill, thank you for the criticism. The actual pencil work is pretty harsh and usually stands out really well, but it loses the majority of that quality after having been scanned. I usually make these in school with a mechanical pencil though haha, and I could be doing a lot better. I'll look for some better pencils. Thanks a bunch!
Triss, I tried out. Thanks for the recommendation!

EDIT: And then I redacted my tryout after I discovered all orders would be free lol
why do they call it a shop if it's free

The shops used to be actual shops back in Fluidanims. Oz points was the currency of FA that could be used to purchase stuff from the store. (Mostly just stuff like shirts, figurines and posters.)

Stickpage doesn't have Oz though. I guess they assumed it'd come back as a feature sometime, but it hasn't.

Its a wonderful Sketch with a brilliant idea, though a bit messy

Try and outline the lines a bit more :)

Leokill, I know this. I used to participate in quite a lot of the shops on Fluidanim. Good times. And thank you for the information.
Imada, thank you. I'm pretty messy with my sketches, and I should work on that. The sketch you're talking about I plan to color. Thank you for the criticism!

You're very creative, you pay attention to detail, and you have a unique and impressive style. You're drawings are also, like leo said, very surreal.

You have an interesting style. I think you have a nice idea of the rough picture, though a little clean-up would make this a lot nicer. Coloring could also draw out more details and help tone the picture a little more. The perspective of the balloon also seems a little skewed, the bottom doesn't seem a little stretched on the left side.
Most importantly though, I would like to see this cleaned up. Seeing how messy your outlines get you might want to try it with a pen, I have the same problem when drawing with a pencil lol.

Edit:
Noticed the links below the image lol.

I do think the rough style translates better to those pictures and seem to give it a more stylish effect then Bucket List. Overall I would say keep on going with this same style, but watch out to clean up the parts you really want to stand out. I think you did this very well in your Mario picture. The flower really pops out seeing as how much more detail can be noticed there, without actually loosing the rough feeling.

Hey man, thanks a lot for the criticism. And yes, I'll work harder on cleanup. I guess the picture came out especially rough because the picture was so filled in, meaning the background was as payed attention to as the main focus (the doll in the balloon), and neither stood out above the other, kind of washing out the image. I'll try working more with pens. I've done it in the past and it's worked out pretty well. I just enjoy the speed in which penciled artwork can be created.
Thanks again for the criticism, I really appreciate it!
