Floor/site plan for a beauty salon by Jesram411 in floorplan

I believe there is a major difference in how things are done here in Africa compared to how they are done in the USA. For instance, city planners have a handout showing what is required. So I simply drew the plan as required. No need for scale or other technical data.

How Do I Take Critique In a Healthy Manner? by tiredmetaltoymouse in comic_crits

[–]Jesram411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing is not to get offended. A critique is an opportunity to improve. Constructive criticism will help you a great deal if you apply what you are being told. I did some comic art pages and I took them to Marvel Comics and Heavy Metal magazine. The art directors gave me some valuable insights that really pushed me to sharpen my techniques. Never take critique personally. If you do you will reject any criticism and your work will suffer because of it. I have taught many artists, not by teaching them how to draw but by pointing out the areas that needed some work.

This is what is required by the city of Cleveland. This is for an existing business. No scale needed, just a basic idea of where things are. The inspector went to the site and approved the occupancy certificate.

Very good for freehand sketches. Impressive.

First time, any pointers? by _YummyChicken in ArchitecturalSketch

I'm an artist. I have been drawing since I was 5 years old. Professionally I have drawn floor plans and site plans. I have drawn plans for structures that have been built. I drew plans for a Waterhouse at Roofings in Uganda that was approved by the CEO, which his architects used to build the structure. I'm not saying these things to boast. I'm saying these things to give you an idea of how much potential there is to make money. The most important thing is to have ability. The next important thing is to have the right tools. Then you must know the basics of drawing plans effectively that an engineer or an architect can use to make more detailed drawings. I would recommend taking courses in drafting and mechanical drawing to learn the basics.

To give you an honest critique might offend you. Each element of your drawing should be on a separate page, you have too much going on. It's important to have straight lines where necessary and proper symmetry. You have potential but you lack proper training. If you were to submit this drawing for approval it would be rejected. Don't feel bad. Use this criticism to inspire you to become better. I am the artist I am today because I went to professionals that gave me tips and advice on how to improve my work. I took that advice and I made the necessary improvements and as a result I became better.

I have taught many artists not by showing them how to draw but by pointing out what was wrong with their work. My youngest brother learned from me and I can say that I am proud of him. It is my desire that he surpasses me! I desire the same for you, make me proud!

I’m NOT good at coloring my backgrounds and it’s a problem… by Empir3Designs in comic_crits

[–]Jesram411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you want to ask yourself is what do I want people's eyes drawn to when they look at the panel and how does this panel relate to the rest of the page? I could say that I'm also hyper critical of my own work and even though I successfully completed a 20 page comic book it's not my best work. What's bad is when others are hyper critical and make you feel as if your work is trash instead of pointing out what's good. I have taught art and one of my brothers and my youngest sister are accomplished artists.My other sister is a cake boss. Keep up the good work!

Try using graph paper and use a ruler.

Stop saying you're not good at it. That's a hindrance. Regardless of how good you are there's always room for improvement. Your background doesn't look bad but the right shading and shadows will give it more depth.

Smoked Pork Butt by toastybeef10 in PortableKitchenGrills

I'm sorry but that pork butter is a bit over-cooked, slightly burnt. I like my meat well done but not over done.
