- Nice 3D concept and very creative! I love the color choice and the "perspective grid" composition where the "fishes" get blurred and smaller at the vantage point. Technical wise, good display of "variegated wash technique" on some fishes, though more "wet-on-wet" can be applied to make the gradient more seamless. Great use of dark and contrasting tones to make the fishes pop. Overall, the idea and execution was good, and the use of dark/ mid/ light tones in this piece displays a good understanding of light, shadow & depth. Congratulations @artwithchill !

- The contrast between black and white is beautiful in this artwork. The artwork is large in size and detailed, and it is wonderful that various textures, such as the ground and houses, are expressed in a single color of black. It is also impressive that only some parts are painted in color.

- At first glance, we have found it to be a wonderfully detailed work of art. The creative atmosphere is wonderful as various objects are combined around a single tiger. All the objects are realistically expressed, and we felt the high level of drawing techniques.

- The use of two-color pens was very interesting and surprising. We thought the way the red and blue illustrations were superimposed on each other was very beautiful. Also it was a wonderful skill to express shading and shadows by overlapping the lines of each colors.

- We found the overall artwork to be very beautiful, combining motifs of plants, trees and animals. The overlapping lines, which seem to brighten from the edges to the center of the work, are well drawn. We also love the charming and attractive expressions on the animals' faces♥

- This Mandala is a very beautiful piece of art which speaks volumes about the patience level of the artist as she has given such a great attention to the small patterns and symmetry as well. The artwork also shows how just 2 Sakura Gelly Roll pens can be used to create a beautiful masterpiece!

- I'm honored to be chosen as one of the winners to celebrate Sakura's 100th birthday! I love this brand so much, drawing with gelly rolls and Pigma Microns is an absolute pleasure! The topic of the contest was "Art in my life" and it's drawing mandalas for me. It's a therapy and passion! Thank you a million times Sakura Color Products Corp. for appreciating my mandala art, it really means a lot to me and I consider this prize as one of my biggest achievements! :)

- The Mandala drawn with Pigma is of course lovely and moreover the decoration by Gelly Roll are so beautiful. Drawing on gray paper makes both black and white stand out. The opaque ink of Gelly Roll is well utilized!

- This is indeed a very creative artwork drawn with Sakura Pigma Microns & Sakura Koi Coloring brush pens. Loved the colour combination and vibrancy in the artwork. It’s worth appreciating how the artist has given close attention to tiny details like the pattern on the flower, leaf & the gallaxies.

Drawplet
- Firstly, love the whole concept! From the wings on the characters, to the outfit and color choice, much creativity displayed. Technical wise, great job with the little strokes, textures, gradients and patterns throughout the piece. I'd suggest having more dark tones to highlight the foreground, and having lighter tones in the background, to give more depth to the landscape. Overall, I think that the attention to details is on point, and the execution is clean, which reflects the skill of the artist and the amount of time & effort being invested. Congratulations @lingyen2016 !

- Where to start? The skill you need to create a drawing like that! It’s just perfect, all the little hair lines and the bear, I’m always amazed by people who can draw faces right, but two of them in the same drawing even more! Keep up the amazing work!
