Description Tez: *slams her gloves again the wall, leaving cracks*That fucking son of a bitch!!
Connor: Theresa you can't take them of-
Tez: MY FUCKING HANDS HURT *snarls, pacing, unable to calm down* I had it, I had it!  I did a good job out there!  I fought them off!  I DID.  LIKE HE SAID!
Connor: Theresa, calm down...*Moves closer to her* You're getting agitated.
Tez: I did the mission!  I killed them , like he said, and they, and he...*her hands begin to smoke and she punches the wall, making hole* SON OF A BITCH!
Connor: TEZ!  STOP!
Tez: *looks shocked at the wall, realizing the damage before gritting her teeth, hands through her hair, almost tearing piece out before she bursts into tears* What does he want?! Why doesn't he believe in me?!"
Connor: *bites his lip, unsure what to say as Tez begins to sob* I don't know Tez.  I don't know...

***
Poor Tez is having a bad day!  I obviously sketched this out rather quickly since I know I have a few anatomical issues that I keep fixing in 'post', but I do like how she came out overall.  Usually Tez likes to hide her insecurities behind a overly aggressive and arrogant shell, but she has limits and would like her daddy issues acknowledged once in a while...

Tez looks an awful lot like Akane Owari from the Danganronpa series.

I love the use of these little expression guys! I think you captured it very well, but i feel the need for razor sharp teeth kinda holds this character back it's like there's so much going on it's hard to focus on the emotion at hand! Also (and I know this is hypocritical of me) maybe start working on backgrounds? I see you have in other pieces but I think even adding them in little ones like this will help you improve a lot!

Over all though I really like it!

She is a were-jaguar so I gave her sharp teeth; I do think though that I need to work on curving the teeth a bit in a way that it looks more anatomically correct.

I do need to work on backgrounds in general!  Maybe I'll work on adding some color or making these short images or make them pngs; I have just been using these more as quick fun pieces or warmups but for some of these it feels like something is missing...  Someone suggested that before and of course I end up drawing and coloring without consideration.  Bah!

I think it's a great drawing with a good sense of emotion. Just a little bit of critique. The movement that you get in the bottom of the crop top, hands and face is sort of lost in the contrasting style of the arms and shoulders. A possible remedy for this is to make the face the definite centre of attention by using more detail in that area, and try to do a rougher style for the arms and the rest of the body, like what you've done with her hands.

Thanks for the tip!  I'll probably need to work on the sketchier style for her body to make sure focus is on her face, especially since I didn't use clean lines!  Thank you

Hello! This is going to be a project comment comment, and I'd like to start by saying that you did a good job of conveying her emotion with not only her expression but also her body language. Even with the guideline of the pose provided by the meme you really did make he pose your own and I like that! 

That being said here's a tip that I learned recently that may help with drawing teeth. Think about the teeth as two half cylinders, one for the top set and one for the bottom, try to take into account the curve of the teeth when drawing ind order to give the mouth more depth. That probably didn't make a lot of sense but this should make it clearer. But like I said doing this can help give a sense of depth rather than the teeth looking like a flat sheet of paper right behind the lips. Also, and this is weirder and nit-pickier than the teeth thing is that her freckles are kind of uniform looking. I mean they're different sizes (which is a god start) but they're all the same color and shape. Freckles aren't really circular I mean the little ones might be but they're usually a bit more blotchy and fade around the edges. When you set about drawing freckles figure out where they would be the most concentrated (in this case the bridge of the nose, but also bear in mind they can be more concentrated where a character gets the most sun) there you make the freckles the darkest, largest and most concentrated then as you move outward they become smaller, less concentrated and closer the the general skin tone. Or you could do it the easy and fast way by just mucking about with brush settings, which works great.

Still aside from that, and honestly neither of those things actually detract from your draw, they're simply areas in which you can improve, this  really is a nice piece! Yes, it's a bit sketchy, but it's very dynamic and you did an excellent job with the shading! (Also Tez seems like a neat character, I like the whole were-jaguar thing it's cool.)

Hey! Thank you so much! I really appreciate the tips; I totally see the teeth issue after you showed me that picture so that's a good tip! Also; I do have some brushes to try for freckles next time. That'll get her design set 😀. Glad you like Tez! She's one of my faves

Awww I'm glad you like it  
I have a finished sketch for 5A Ira and she ended up looking disgusted and angry.  So exactly what I feared but hey!  That's Ira when she is 'weirded out'.  Expect that tonight
