Artist's Comments

Well, it's done. :3

I've decided that for my more finished artworks, I'm going to ask for critiques. If I want to improve I need to be able to consult others for feedback, even if I'm a bit nervous to hear it. ^^; So if you guys would like to help me out and let me know what's good and what needs work, I'd really appreciate it.

Critiques


:icondeamond89:
Souri looks really nice in this picture. You have gone through a lot of improvement indeed since your last try on her. The pose is very nicely done. The way she looks/her facial expression is very well drawn as well. However the eyes are too far up. Try putting them on the same level as the ears and it will turn out perfectly fine.

The hand balled to a fist looks very well done too. Her right hand looks a little off. The spots where the fingers bend are on almost the same level like an elipse. Try taking a closer look at how the fingers move anatomically again.

Your strongest point is definitely the emotion expressed by your characters. They seem to shine from inside out, giving the watcher the same impression as their feelings. Keep at this, it makes your pictures lively and astonishing to look at!

Great job!!

One thing I notice personally, is that the eyes are too high up. If you're going for a completely anime feel, that's fine, but sometimes can be distracting. The middle of the eyes almost always end up being in line with the middle of your ear. I hope that helps, I'm not too good with critique. Everything else looks good though. ^_^

Ah, yes... I can't believe I didn't notice that! Maybe I was too distracted with trying to make her eyes look as sparkly as possible. xD

Usually I draw the ears first, then the eyes, so that's probably what caused the problem.... But I guess anatomy comes before personal drawing style, huh? ^^; You may have just fixed a major flaw in my art... Looking back at some old drawings I can see that I've made the same mistake. Thank you, I will definitely keep that in mind next time I'm drawing. :nod:

Hehe, The only crit I could notice has already been said xD Well, there might be another little thing that's optional. With your style for coloring hair, it would look a little better if you tried to add in a few stray hairs coming from the lines. It still looks fine without that, it just might give the hair a looser and more flowing effect :3

You did a great job on this though. I really do like it <3 I feel kind of bad trying to criticize, since your art is better than anything I could do xD;

Thank you. I actually intended to do that (adding stray hairs), but I forgot because of all the layers I had for the hair. o.o I might go back and do that after I finish some of the art I owe people.

Don't worry about critiquing; I asked for it... And I really appreciate your feedback. :nod:

Hehehe. I used to do it too, so maybe that's why I noticed it. I'm glad that I could help out.

Oh! Another useful tip, if you're trying to fix flaws, but can't seem to figure it out, flip the picture horizontally and look at it that way. You'd be surprised what you notice that you didn't notice before! Doesn't work with traditional media, however. Haha.

............ahdkasjd!!! omg okay I must say this before I explode <,< there is nothing wrong with her eyes! *gets bricked* XD;; no but seriously I would say putting the eyes a bit higher is more a part of your style then an anatomical error <,< and when you got your own style anatomy doesn´t matter that much any more |3

lol I pressed send before I was finished XDD so sorry <<;;;;;

ehm X3; well the rest of my comment:
of course you most have some anatomy skills, but you do. So I say let the eyes be a little higher up if you think it looks good and fits your style~
Personally I think she looks adorable the way she is right now~ But the again I too like to put my eyes a bit higher then most ppl would consider normal 8D; XD but I like it :3
And for the critique, then only thing I can see wrong with this picture is her arms that is just to stiff and awkward <,< but if you ever need to find or practise poses check this site out [link] :3

Thank you. The whole eye issue was really bugging me... So much so that I couldn't really draw anything decent yesterday. I kept thinking "Are the eyes right? Are the eyes right?!" >_>;; I see where they're coming from with the advice, but I think you're right. If it's going to screw up my art style, I think I'd rather draw eyes wrong then not be able to draw anything at all. ^^;

Yes, her arms are... in bad positions... I noticed this while I was inking, but didn't bother fixing them much because I was having enough trouble trying to get her legs right. From now on I'll have to watch it and make sure that they are right in the sketch before I start inking.

And posemaniacs is a great site indeed. :D Before school ended I would spend the time I had in between classes sketching out the guide lines for poses. Haven't been on there in a while though.
