In the first place, the composition for this picture is good. The darkness around the edges really makes the viewer focus on Blaze.

One thing you could do to improve this drawing (it's a pretty big one, though): Get rid of the outlines. With this level of shading and highlighting, I don't think you need them. Adding some extra shading in order to separate areas - such as her muzzle and each section of her necklace - would help separate them enough. I'm gonna add a second suggestion, too: adding some light, very light, texture. Sonic characters are simple, so overdoing it (unless going for a realistic video game character drawing, like some people do with PokΓ©mon ) could change the intended feel. As I'm suggesting the texture (same thing as I said on Death by Shadow ), I'm thinking of the 3D models of Sonic from Sonic Unleashed . Like if you look carefully at the eyebrow's furrow on the normal Sonic half, you can see some texture there. Even in that game's cut scenes Sonic has some texture.

So, with all the detail you're putting into your drawings, you seem like you can drop outlines for the completed picture. (I'm thinking of drawings like this right now.) When I see thick outlines on a fully colored picture, it just reminds me that I'm looking at a drawing. With a really good drawing - I mean, this is assuming realism or closer to realism is the artist's goal - the viewer really has to try hard to figure out if the picture's a photo or not. With a cartoon character, the viewer may wonder if the artist created a good computer model or did some great Photoshopping of an action figure.

Keep it up! You can only get better!

More proof why you shouldn't make Blaze mad.
