Ugh, took me a pretty longass time to finish this. I hope I improved with my tablet, ESPECIALLY ON THE COLORING!Feedback and critique is MUCH appreciated. Any tips are welcome, I love to learn to get better!!!
I used Photoshop CS2 to make this and it took me about 4-5 hours? :3

You're getting really good at colouring fffft!!
Proportions and shiz are really neat- great work c:
Blend your colours a little better, the areas that you've shaded are right, but they're still a little blocky.
Nothing much else to say, if you're looking to do digital painting then your lines are fine but if you're wanting to make it more of a anime/manga colouring style then the lines should be darker and cleaner.
I'm happy you asked me for feedback :D

I'm looking for my own style, not anime/manga hehe ^_^ I just want people to really like my work :3
Though I am thinking of doing alots of different styles for now to try things out, to pretty much just practice. 
I'm glad you think I improved!

Noo I mean the kind of style you want to base it on. I think my style is very unique to myself but I first took inspiration from anime/manga. Aah I want the same;;; orz
That's a great idea, most people just stick to what they're good and never try any other style, pose, gender etc so I'm glad you are- you'll be pro in no time c:
Hehe, well it's true! x)

Cuz this choppy shadowing is also something I've seen on artwork before. ^_^ Do you have any advice on what brush to use when you use the blended in shadow so it flows into the character?? :3
I actually got a anatomy doll recently to practice on more poses and such.
Know what sucks with the dark lines around it though with me? I always end up making it look ugly. D:! Maybe I should just practice it like TONS :3 though I get really angry at myself if I fail. XD

Ooohhh I seee o3o
Well, I don't use photoshop so I don't really think I could.;;;
I use Paint Tool Sai;; (pen or binary for lines, magic wand + fill for base colours, clipping group and a combination of water, acrylic and 2 brush tools on custom blending/dilution/persistence settings.)
A tip that I'd give is never to use blur, dodge or burn. They give really shoddy tones and the blur doesn't make it look smooth, just blurry ._.;;
If you use blur, just do it on a little section and then water drop the colour you get (which should be a mix of both) and use a brush that blends well to paint between;; If that makes sense anyway xD
Is it one of those little wooden dolls with the ball-joints? Ff I don't get how those help xD I have 2 and they just sit there looking ronery;
I can't quite remember what the tool is called, I think it's the ink pen? You use it to draw lines, it's basically like the line tool on mspaint but you can edit the way the lines have been drawn (sorry if you already know this orz)
It makes your lines cleaner and smoother c:
You shouldn't get angry hahah! /though I do all the time OTZ/
Practice makes perfect, annoying phrase but it's regrettably true..

Well, I'll just go try stuffles out then ! ^_^
(and hope for the best heeehee 
I never liked those blur and things anyway, I never use it. XD
Yea it's a wooden doll like that, it has been a lil useful for me so far. ^_^
Thanks a bunch :3!!!
