the art is inconsistent and flawed in a way that is subtle yet very noticeable in a negative way if you’re someone like me who prefers things to look aesthetically pleasing and thus naturally pays attention to details. the proportions and perspectives are objectively wonky. the hands sometimes look okay and then two panels later not; one time they’re bigger than the characters’ faces, other times uncannily small, the fingers look like undefined tubes, or the fingers are aligned in a way that seems unnatural or simply “not right”. there’s something that feels “off” about the faces too (not always but often enough that it becomes notable) and i think it’s the eyes - the seem too small in comparison to the structure of the face/the rest of the facial features. it’s also apparent that drawing faces from the side isn’t exactly this artist’s forte; at times they’re too wide and boxy or too slanted and the perspective/protrusion of the mouths/lips is bizarre iykwim. another funny detail about the side profiles is that in some instances, the parting of the hair of the black haired (which normally sits on the left side of his forehead) is placed so far to the side that it literally sits on his temple lmao. i could go on. when they’re watching the swans and the scar dude whispers in black haired’s ear, he should be bending down cause black haired is sitting on the stone, but the way he’s drawn makes it look like he’s still standing but like… on ear level with the dude who is basically sitting on the ground. and so on. all that to say, this is obviously not the worst art job ever because a lot of it is okay (and i’m sure it can improve even more with time) but it provides enough weak points for someone like me to nitpick haha
legit exactly what i was thinking. it’s definitely the eyes. i was literally about to comment how i get the uncontrollable urge to just redraw everything and fix it myself
