I like how this picture is lovely while still being simple. But it doesn't look like her clothing or hair is moving with the wind. And the chest looks like its being pulled when its should look more upwards. And the clothing needs more wrinkles and folds. and I guess the hair looks a little yarny (is that even a word). the mouth looks a little too pointy at the bottom and would look better if it was rounded out. But this is a very pretty picture in all. The design is perfect and I love the staff she has.

What a great masterpiece that was absolutely appreciated by me. I absolutely love the verbose that you have on the picture--I love the picture that you drew that has verbose on it--I absolutely love the idea that the picture is--but I also like the BACKGROUND.
What a natural you are--I bet you are pretty much kicking at it and are already thinking you could make a selling, right? I think it's a go go go for you. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h⦠" width="15" height="13" alt="
What I had to say was that in some strange way there was nothing else but truth so I think it's time to realize that in some strange way there was nothing but happiness to see this. Thanks! #

Thank you, I'm glad you really like it. Although I'm confused by what you mean by verbose.
As for the kicking at it (which I assume you mean confident at it) and make a sale with it, truthfully I'm not all that confident at it, it's all guesses and making it up as I go along. Sometime I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing. This lead to taking longer then I feel is normal for the drawing to be done. Leading to thinking it not ready for sale, as i feel I need more practice.
I truly thank you for your word as it has instilled some more confidence at my own skill, and I do hope to improve more at this skill.

Greetings there! ^_^
Good Points:
- I like the how her outfit. The grainy texture makes the clothing look more natural and it feels like it's actually made of fabric. XD
- The shading and coloring overall pretty good! I give thumbs up to that! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Improvements/Suggestions:
- The texture of the cape makes it look like it made of wood and it can come off as the cape looks very stiff.
- I think it would look cooler if the orb on her staff if it had glowed or at least add more shine and polish. It would make it feel more like a magical staff! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you for your constructive critique. Yes I was happy with the way the clothes turned out also, before it was looking a little flat. I've decided to experiment with some pencil brushes and making strokes along her clothes in different shades of the colour to make this effect. As for the cape, if you mean part of the cape on her shoulders looking a bit stiff I do agree with you, I may have made the highlight on it too bright. As for the staff orb, I was going to make it shiny, but if I recall correctly, in the show it doesn't really shine and glow until she start to cast her spell, rest of the time it kinda dull looking so I decided to keep with that.

Oh, I meant the shading of the cape. It was too dark that it made it look stiff and it also makes it look like you added a wood texture on the cape. XD
Anyways, you're welcome!

I absolutely love the coloring and detail you added to your work, it's so vibrant and full of life. The background is nothing short of beautiful and I really enjoy it.
I'm not sure if this can be considered original since it's fanart of an existing character, but I still have to give credit to how well drawn she is.
I really love your technique, the piece looks really clean and easy to look at. It's also nice to see the detail on the grass and sky, adding the varying shades and little darker or lighter patches really makes it seem more realistic.
I have never seen or heard of this anime before seeing this, but after looking at your piece it did leave an impact and made me curious about it.

Thank you very much for your constructive comment. I'm glad you like the drawing and it has left an impact on you. I glad you liked the background, I went through 3 different background trying to decide what to do, in the end I just went with a couple grassy hills and a few clouds, simplicity because I was already taking longer then I should of with this picture, and I wanted some more practice with some landscape shot and grass.

Well, I always give 5 star ratings, just because I don't really like the star rating system all that much!
First things first, I like the color palette that you chose. You captured the cel-shaded anime look very well--I'm especially liking that hat.
Some things that jump out to me:
1) You might consider atmospheric perspective more--if you were to mix in a bit more blue to the hill in the far background, it would give more depth.
2) Think more about how your character is standing and the distribution of their weight. I wish I could fit a redline here to demonstrate what I'm talking about, but with the way her right shoulder and arm is raised, her weight would be thrown on her right leg. It helps to think of the angles--the way her shoulders are angled and the way her pelvis is angled should be opposite. There are always exceptions to this rule of course, but this is a good rule of thumb.
This pose kind of demonstrates what I'm talking about:

Overall, I think this is a nice piece. I hope what I said makes sense and helps!

Thank you for your critique. I'm glad you like the picture.
I agree with you about the adding a bit of blue into the hill, it would help bring the depth out more.
I can sort of understand what you mean about the pose, I'm just a beginner to drawing, and body pose and anatomy is a constant learning experience. I try to make sure her body pose felt right before I even put her clothes on

What if we took Pyro from TF2 and made him/her into a Anime girl and gave them fire and explosion magic with Demoman's personality
That's Meg in a nutshellΒ

Hello, I'm from .
I like the motif of a young mage girl standing amidst the green. There is a good sense of motion here, with the wind in her clothes and the grass and clouds moving in the background. I feel that her hair should move a bit more with the wind, though. You might also improve the piece a bit by adding more details in the background, like some flowers, trees or birds, but it also works well as it is.
You used nice and vibrant colors. The green of the background and the red of the girl's dress create a good contrast, it leads the eyes towards the foreground. I also like how you use textures. They're pretty subtle on her staff and clothes, but they make a difference and make the picture more interesting to look at.
Your shading looks consistent, it shows that you know how lightsources work. However, I think you could go a bit bolder with it. First, youre shading seems very soft overall (except for the hair) - I think your art would benefit more if you used a bit more variety, some hard shading here and there. It would add more life and micht also help you to depict details, for example folds in clothes. Second, you could also experiment a bit with the hues of the shadows. Right now it looks like you just took the base color and made it a bit darker to create shadows. But when it comes to shading, it's always good to pay attention to the hues and saturation. As a rule of thumb, shadows tend to look much better if they are more saturated than the base color - too little saturation can make them look dull and lifeless. Playing with the hue is a bit more tricky, but it pays off, because it can help to establish mood and make the whole piece more interesting for the eye. For me, deep and dark shades of purple work for most base colors, but how to do this depends mostly on your style. Experiment a bit with these things and see what works best for you.
I hope this was of some help to you.

Hello, and thank you for your constructive comment.
Yes I do agree that her hair should move a bit more in the wind, I wanted the background to be something simple and quick to draw. I been at this drawing for a while and the background was the last thing I did so that why I didn't draw any more detail then I felt was necessary in this picture.
Glad you like the way the clothes and staff turned out, I should mention that no texture was used in this picture, it was all drawn by my hand. I try not to use texture in my drawing if I can, it kinda feel like cheating to me. I would also like to thank you for the tip about the shading and hard shadow. With shadows, for me, it always a hard balance to get it to feel right, always worried if it too dark or too light. In my earlier drawing I made them a bit too light and lately I been trying to make it darker, but always worry about going too dark. I should experiment more with it in the future as you said.

Thank you for your comment
I'm pleased that you like the background, I was worried that it was contrasting too much and I try other background ideas before I settled on this as as it was simple so it was quick to do and allow me to practice more on grass. Plus clouds are quick and fun to draw for me. The back part of the grass does not have any blue in it if I recall correctly, it just dark green and there is a bit of yellow in there it just a bit faded.
The sky is a bit plain with it simple blue colour, I do agree with you on that. I just wanted something quick to draw as I felt I was taking too long at this drawing and I was experimenting with different background also. I do plan to do more interesting sky scene in future drawing as I did a recent picture taking place at night and I was pleased with the way it looked at night with it bright moon.
I'm also happy that you like the shading on here also. I'm always worried that the shading is either too dark or too light and that I don't know if I go to far with it or not enough. As for the texture on the clothes, I glad it turned out that way also, it was looking a little plain and flat before, so I did a few experiment with pencil brushes and just drawn quick stroke on it with various shade and I felt it really help with the way it looked. You are correct in that the cape wrapping around the staff was not really necessary and that her clothes are definitely missing some folds in it. It wasn't till after I finished that I saw the clothes are missing some detail. As for her elbow, when I drew her, to make sure the pose is correct, I drew her naked without any clothes so I can get a feeling for the pose to make it feel natural, at the time her elbows were fine, when I drew clothes afterwards on her,I didn't quite the the fold and crease around her elbows correctly and it kinda ended up looking weird. It really is inexperience on my part as I haven't taught myself that much about fold and weight for clothes. I'll need more practice on that.

It's alright, as an artist it's good to know where you need to work on or improve on and it seems like you know that so I'm sure you'll do fine. With practice it will get better and as always, I'll be rooting for you
