ello there! You asked for some constructive criticism,so I'm here to provide!
sorry if I come off as blunt or harsh btw,I've a tendency to do that lmao
Alrightio,I gotta saw,this is a really,,Rea l l y
great first attempt for only using a mouse,
like I can't evn draw a stick man with one pff-
Ok,onto the criticism,oh boi-
-alright,first off,this is quite a common mistake,but the shading/lighting should have a source,as the skin and hair shading kinda conflicts each other in the way you did it,was the bottom of the hair is shaded,whereas the skin in the same area isn't,hopefully that makes sense lol
-also,the coloured lineart is a lil bit messy,it's understandable,since you use a mouse,but the actual colours,like the peach colour,when the hair and skin meet,makes no spence to me,since none of the roots show in his hair,that peach lineart should be the same as the hair,or maybe use an airbrush to make it more of a gradient
-speaking of gradients,a tip is to not use the air brush to close up shadows,following a real life example,the further the object is to the light source,the more soft the shadow is,and the more close the object is,covering another surface,like hair covering Travis' forehead,the more 'sharp' it should be,sorry if that made no sense--
-I'd also like to point out,though this just comes down to your own style
and my personal pet peeve,but the whites in the eye should be,,well,white,
and not the same colour as the skin,
again this comes down to your own style,
you're more then welcome to ignore this piece of criticism lol
like,your main problem is just shading really,
I'd look up some references for shading to help you out,
hopefully this helped you ;w;;;
AND SORRY FOR MAKING IT SO LON G-

Hello Skylq~ First of all, thank you so much! I read through it once and this is very helpful! (I'm so prone to give excuses.)
And please, you're not harsh!
1. Yeah, I saw many tutorials on how to give pictures dramatic lighting effect and it was common for them to mention to follow a light source. It was very hard, so yeah, But I'll try not to do it again!
2. The coloured lineart is messy, I agree with it. I actually couldn't think about the color matches
3. I totally wrecked the law of physics, because... THE BLUR TOOL IS SOO GOOOOOD! (forgive me pls) It looked more better, but I just love blurring it. I love it when pixels are blended together.. It's so good!
4. Meep, that's a total mistake. I really didn't understand about different "whites" at first but after wondering for a while, It kind of looked odd
Yeaah, Im terrible at shading, lol blur tool again.
It's not long at all! And not short too! It was perfect!
Thank you so much for wasting your time for me, I can't be happier to receive my first constructive criticism! Thank you again!
