Chapter 6: Broken Wrists
Sorry for updating so late - I've started working part time, and I'm still figuring out how to adjust my schedule. I'm still gonna aim for Mondays, but right now I can make no promises. I am pretty optimistic about the next page at least, since I'm getting two days off this week. (Although, I'm going to lose about 6 hours this Friday - any Good Omens fans amongst my friends here? I can't wait for the show to get out!!! alkdjflaösdjkf *excited noises*)
EDIT: Coloured in the piano... Apparently this doofus forgot about that last week. My bad x)

Your art's amazing, I love your style! It's very charming!!

First up the critique! In the first panel, you can see that England's feet are lined up with Russia and China, yet he's drawn as if he's farther away. It makes him look teeny. You could proooobably just slide that whole thing back a bit to pass it off, though that could mess up the vanishing point of the perspective or whatever the fancy art terms are. Also in the corner of the first panel, the second set of chairs looks larger than the closer stack to the left, despite being farther away.
In the last panel, Canada's hand should be rotated a bit closer to the camera, or tipped up a bit, I think, because that looks super uncomfortable. The shadow defining Italy's nose also looks more like a cut or random ellipse than a shadow.
As for ideas you could try (even if I personally have no idea how tf to do it on digital) as things get further out of focus, they get less defined. You could try playing with camera blur to focus more on certain characters. Of course, this is completely optional and not even applicable in every situation.
As for what I like, I feel like a broken record saying this but once again your expressions are on-point! Canadia looks confused as hell, Iggy looks borderline bored but not in a rude way, more like a "This entire situation is not one we should be in and it's complete bullshit and I want out but that's not happening right this moment I guess" way. I love the uneven brow tilt of Doitsu and Italy's almost sad expression just fits so well given his situation specifically. China and Russia look great as well! I can't wait to see what you do with the clock breaking! overall really looking forward to the next page! Keep it up!

Oh man, you're right, I kinda messed up the perspective in that one ... ^^' Maybe England is secretly a leprechaun and we're only starting to notice now? You're right about the hands too, I think that might come down to perspective as well, which is generally something I need to practice. Thanks for pointing it out, I'm not good in this particular area AT ALL, so I don't always notice these mistakes! It's great to have someone who does!
I'm actually doing something like that on occasion - if you look closely, you can see that in the last panel, the four figures closest to us are slightly out of focus, since I wanted your eyes to be drawn towards the back. I did this by using the gaussian blur filter on their outlines and shadows. I only did it by factor 4 this time around (usually I use 6 or even higher), so maybe it's too subtle to notice. In wider shots, I also like to lock the opacity of the lines and colour in the parts furthest away from the viewer in dark grey instead of black. The effect is subtle (and again, maybe a little too subtle this time? I used that one in the first panel), but I do think that it usually does the trick
And thanks once again for the praise and the critique, I really, REALLY appreciate you taking the time and pointing out all the mistakes, and giving me tips! <3 You're really helping me improve here

Haha I try! I appreciate you considering my critique, whether it's correct or not! I've had people just blow off any criticism but I'm glad you find some use in my notes! And yeah! I can kinda see the effect! Maybe it's just a little too subtle but I like it, now that I'm looking at it! I do notice the graying effect and I think that works well! Especially for the backgrounds. It makes things looks hazy and spooky!
Anyway, good luck on future art! I now return to procrastinating on my own projects >

See, now that's something I really don't understand - how would you get better without considering criticism? Praise is nice too, sure, but negative feedback is THE best thing you can receive as an artist! And why put something online anyways, if you can't take negative reactions?? Some people...
I'm just gonna go ahead and wish you good luck on your projects and bad luck on that procrastinating business haha
