Ugh, I don't know what to say.

The drawing isn't too good, I think it was very sloppy, the proportions are very bad, I think it's not your best work, man, sorry, but I didn't like it.

The teacher is too far from the black board and the wall, the door is too short if you compare it to the teacher, the door is smaller than the man.

I don't know what to tell you man, I just think it's not your best work, you can do better, dude, keep on trying... ;)

i don't really love it either...

Nice drawing

I like the setup of the picture. Some sort of teacher that thinks he knows it all, but in reality doesn't know a thing.

I also like the 1+1=5 on the blackboard, even though the picture would've had a better touch if you wrote 2+2=5 instead (if you don't know what that means, you can look it up on Wikipedia ^^).

Anyway, again you are colouring over the lines (yeah, there's a small debate in the RRC and I know you've read it since you replied to it, I'm still mentioning it in the review), which doesn't look too good in my opinion.
Maybe it is your style and you will continue to use it regardless what I say. But I still don't like it too much. :P

yeah I do read the review request club (It's fun :D lol) and I will color outside the lines again...sorry and I looked that up on wikipedia and it's interesting :)

hrmmmm............................................

meh.. its boring

-Art-
There is not much I could say about this I don't know how mrty did such a good review.But it has no effort(no points)But you tried(1 point).But you should of put effort in it and 20 minutes is ok for this.I could not make this 20 minutes.The gag on the board gave me a small chuckle so I will give you a fourth of a point.But that is all I could say
Total points-1 and 1/4

-Improvements-
Put more effort in to it next time and don't make it so dull

But I will be nice and round it up to 2

i know...also i make all my stuff in 20 minutes!

Not rushed.

I don't care if you used 20 minutes. It's not rushed, it's just your style. You could've spent a year on this piece and it'd still be somewhat like this.

I don't like this one as much as your other pieces, simply because it doesn't look completely like your style. There isn't any detail to this one, at least compared to the old ones. The character looks good enough, but the background isn't the style it usually is, it's just really plain. Also, the text, BORING 101, is really boring, because you simply used a text edit to add it, rather than writing it by hand. This also ruins your style a bit.

Other than that, it's a pretty simple piece, with soem humour in it. I get that you're not too fond of math, eh?

no i am not fond of math...also of this picture either...it was the byproduct of mrtys reviews

Rushed.

The word came to me as soon as I saw this: 'rushed'. That's what I think about all of your pictures, anyway.

I'm sorry to say that it's really poorly done. The man is almost taller than the door, for one. The doorknob is a single touch of the brush tool and nothing more. Everything is just bland.

The man is dreadful. You drew an ear to him for the sole purpose of drawing an ear, it's only a few inches near his eye, it needs to be much further. The glasses look like they were crushed by a car. The nose is probably the worst, it needs to be much, much narrower. The moustache has the same problem. Why am I getting a feeling that you gave him a moustache like that just to cover his mouth, which you say you aren't good at?

The clothes need much more effort, too. What is he wearing on the top, a sleeveless sweatshirt? Seems sleeveless to me. The hand is very small and simple. The book is all curly and there is no way on earth someone would hold a book like THAT. Furthermore, the shoes are extraordinarily small.

There is absolutely no sense of proportion in this. If the man curls his right arm fully, his hand can touch the ground.

By the way, why does it still have the overflowing problem? Likewise, the ear looks like anything BUT an ear, so I'll be taking off points for that too.

Serious work is needed on this. You can't expect to make something good in a few days' work. You really have nothing to lose by giving it a week more. DO NOT RUSH. Rushing will only result in self-punishment. Keep improving it until you really feel that it's ready.

Out of 10, I took off:
-1 for the blandness
-2 for the incredibly poor proportions
-2 for the fill overflowing
-3 for the effortlessness

3 out of 10 means there's still hope. I repeat, DO NOT RUSH. Spend more time and effort on your artwork, take it seriously.

Keep practicing.
