Yurii

Hello! In honor of CritMas ( Critmas 2016: Battle of the Critters!Greetings all!

PLEASE NOTE: Don't forget to sign up to be assigned a team!


I hope everyone is gearing up for the festive season! What better way to encourage the gift of giving with a bit of giving on deviantART here? Back for its 6th (yes 6th!) year running, I would like to introduce you to:
CRITMAS 2016:
BATTLE OF THE CRITTERS!
The challenge is back! Between the 12 days of Christmas (December 24th to January 6th), I am encouraging every one of you to submit at least 12 critiques (that's 1 a day) for this challenge. It doesn't matter what the art form is or your style of critique, it is all about giving back in the way most members on here value most; in giving feedback on their work.


But this year there is a slight twist!


All year in the North Pole, the critters have been working getting Christmas and Santa ready for the big day. The Elves ma ), an event geared toward mass critique and improvement for artists of all walks of color and line, I shall try my best at giving you an honest, fair and helpful critique of your piece!
As someone who just binged all of season one in a couple days, I can agree that this is Yurii/Yurio to a tee. The snarled of the lip, glare, and head tilt paints the irritation he feels constantly (or frustration, however, you see it). The colors are soft and the composition of the piece as a whole is rather nice. It's simple, sweet and sassy.
The only really constructive critique is the linework, it could be a bit darker. When looking at the picture as a small thumbnail it came off as blurry. Though the softness of the color is nice on his jacket/shirt, the linework on his hair could be darker.
As a cohesive piece, this is a true embodiment of Yurii, well done!
