Hey there! To start off, I appreciate the humor that appears to me to be in this piece. Capturing a werewolf mid-transformation at some sort of party has a certain lightness to it that you normally wouldn't expect from mature content like this. I also appreciate the muscles being rather anatomically correct in her muscles. They're where they should be and not ridiculously bulging. Thank you. I do take issue with the pose though. As a women, I can say that our bodies don't bend that way and, if they do, it's not comfortable and shouldn't be happening. Of course, there is some suspension and disbelief, but there are poses that are more natural that would show off her body just as well and work with the werewolf thing. Overall, I do enjoy this piece and find it rather cheeky. Keep up the good work!

Oh my... THIS LOOK AWESOME AND A BIT SCARY! This is truly for the spirit of Halloween! I love how the character transforms into a scary, furry werewolf in the middle of a full moon! Oooooh, you really did a great job on that one! I love the details of this drawing, the design of the character, the shading and highlighting effects in the picture. Everything looks awesome! The little pumpkin there look cute too X3 All in all, you did a wonderful job, again, I hope this critique made your day, and have a nice day by the way, you rock!

100 words of criticism hmmm now let's see.

So, first of all, I love how you've captured the rage in her eyes and facial or muzzle expression, the tearing of the clothes really gives me the feels that she is definitely growing bigger than a normal human.

I doubt many people notice or pick up on the way her shadow is cast giving the picture more depth. It's also fun to see the hands still human minus the fur normal you'd find an artwork piece that has the hands as paws already.

All in a great job of an old school Deviantart Artist. Congrats on 4th place

Hi there from Everything Must Go contest!

This is certainly an interesting piece right here, this drawing was so specific I thought it was a comission of sorts, but after reading the description I found out it was actually a contest entry, which explains a lot seeing how it required a kilt girl (for some reason) and a wolf transformation.
Also congratulations for making it to 4th prize!

I myself am not very into this type of drawings, if anything I prefer animations based on them so I can see the full process in full motion, but I can see you've got a knack for these things since you've done your fair share of transformation pictures.

Now here are some elements I noticed on your work:

Lineart: Great!

• All the lines in here are very steady and posess the right width in the right areas, good job!
  
• Wonderful use of lines to define the folds in the clothing and the muscles in her body!
• However I think the lines you used for the background are too thick, this is specially noticeable on the desk in the foreground and the pumpking in the background, having at outline so strong makes stuff more cartoonish but even more than that, it makes it differ from the rest of the elements like the walls and the window, they belong to the background but don't share the same features, and that makes them look a little out of place.
• Another thing that stands out to me is the moon, you have all these stars that are just dots and then this big circle with a black outline near them, it makes the moon look fake in a way, like it's not really in the sky.
  

Colors: Great!

• The color balance in here looks fine in all aspects, except maybe the night sky through the window, I believe it should be a tad darker.
• The color of the walls allow me to disengage from them and look at the focus point (the werewolf girl) they produce a good contrast against the color of her skin and fur without looking too intense!
• All the colors in general are not too bright and not too distracting, so I can look anywhere in the picture and my eyes feel confortable the whole time!

Shading: Great!

• While the BG is something that could use some improvement in this department, the shading on the werewolf is great, I usually discourage the use of soft shading with a very defined lineart but in here you managed to make them look complementing enough.
• The shadows fall into the right places in most cases, but I think one of them are missing, the halloween sign should have a little dark space below it so it looks like it's hanging from the wall, because the perspective and the little bit it can only tell us that.
• I notice the right side of the girl has some highlights from the moon shine, but I think you should've added them to the frame of the window and the table too.
• The moon has no glowing effect, this is something important because there is indeed some white light reflected on the werewolf's body, which I assume comes from the moon I advice you to add that effect in future works.

Background: So-so

• I've already pointed out some flaws before, but in addition to them there are a couple things more. To begin with, the moon doesn't look like one, instead it looks more like a sphere, I reccomend you look up some reference pictures of the moon and try to mimic that same texture while adding a little bit of a glowing outline.
• I believe there are some perpective issues regarding the room and the girl I can't really elaborate on this much because I also struggle with this stuff, it will probably be easier to upload a drawing rather than writing it, but long story short the horizontal lines of the walls converging in that single point on the corner seem too high, making the girl bigger than usual in conparison.
  
• I think you could've added more elements and miscellaneous stuff in the floor and the walls, some chairs perhaps, some confetti (since this looks looks like one of those prom nights) more tables, some sings on the walls. I don't know, stuff like that.

Anatomy: Awesome

• I pretty much see no issues regarding anatomy except for two things:
  A- her right boob (our left) seems a bit too high and there's little space between it and the shoulder
  B- The hands, they're by far the worse aspect of her body, I get it that she's in the middle of a transformation and the hands may have to look like they're shapeshifting and all (speaking of the fingers), but the wrists seem too forced and the position in which the hands are look very unconfortable.
• Aside from the points above, everything is great! I love how you chose to make her have muscles to accentuate the fact that she is becoming a werewolf, and they're all well defined !

Details:

• If I can nitpick a bit I think it's a little weird how the shoes got destroyed by the transformation, I don't think first break from the bottom in my opinion, and since that was the case here it expected to see the sole of the shoe on the ground, not intact but a little ragged (if you get what I mean)
• The fur here looks good enough, but I think the contrast between it and the skin is too sharp, like it's not fur but instead just her skin changing color in a hairy-like pattern, this is specially noticeable on her left hand (our right) as it doesn't have fur outlining the hand like the rest of the places, I would've added an extra set of fur inbetween the skin and the actual black fur but with a weaker color and diferent pattern just so It looks like the fur is growing instead of just appearing.
  
• I couldn't help but notice I can kinda see her... sacred place beneath the skirt, now this usually wouldn't bother me but I see absolutely no traces of her wearing underwear before that transformation, not to mention there's this small vertical line very close to the spot I'm talking about, I don't know if it's part of it or not but it sort of gives the impression it is.
  I don't really like it when a drawing looks sexualized in some way without a proper reason in my personal opinion, and it's totally fine if you were going for that, I'm just mentioning this because it was one of the most striking elements of this picture and I'm sure other people will notice this as well

I really like how the character turned out. It's definitely something I haven't seen - a ferociously sexy werewolf schoolgirl! The pose is really nice, dynamic and has a lot of energy to it. ALso the costume and the way it is tearing look very well-done. The combining of the wolfy with the human part definitely works for me with the parts you chose to leave human and those covered in fur. I have a few suggestions on how you can improve a few of the aspects. FIrst you could add texture to the fur the way you did with the hair (like make some individual strands or tufts of fur) so that it doesn't look flat and shiny. Then there's an issue with the anatomy although most of it is ok. I can tell you struggled with getting the shoulder right, especially on a muscular female. That can be tricky. You should keep in mind that that big, dome-shaped shoulder muscle lies on top of the biceps, not vice versa. Also at the armpit you wouldn't see the shoulder muscle but the breast muscle connecting to the arm, so that line should go downwards flowing into the curve of the breast. The breast themselves are too high, but I understand that can be a stylistic decision. With a bra that has no straps, though, they could never go this high on their own. 
I saw someone mention the use of blacks and greys in the shadows - that is a valid point. The more color you use in the shading, the more natural and appealing it will look. You could check out this video for some tips on how to pick shading colors: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhgSM_…
And last thing that stood out to me is the lighting -  it's not consistent. Your drop shadow suggest a light from behind, presumably coming from the pumpkin but it's not as bright as to cast such a sharp and dark cast shadow. Additionally the character herself looks lit from the front but at inconsistent angles. When you have two light sources you will also have two drop shadows (that's why the shadows of football players look like crosses). It can be tricky to shade a dual light source so I suggest sticking to only one, well-defined at least until you get comfortable with figuring out how the light falls and affects surfaces.
Keep up the hard work and lots of inspiration!

Good job on this piece. Your design is pretty good in itself. Anatomy wise, it looks good, the colors are also great, and the line art itself is good as well. You clearly got a good sense of shading and lighting. However, in terms of shading, I would suggest not to use black or greyish that often, as it looks more like dust or shadows. I'd suggest just using dimmer colors of the base color for shades, or use purple on a multiply layer. 

Now, another thing I got to critique is the areas where the fur are growing. The piece itself looks good, but it does not exactly display the process of transformation. If you look at the fur, it just seems to be there. It looks almost as if it's a regular part of her, rather than it growing by itself. Personally, I would suggest adding thinner and smaller lines of fur next to the thicker parts, to show off that it is eventually growing. 

Regardless, good job here. You've got great colors, lines and designs. I think the shading could be better with a different color, and like I said, use thin lines to show that fur is gradually growing, rather than it making seem like it just poofed in there. Keep it up!

The only thing I really have to critique is the head looks like it should be somewhere else oddly enough. Even though t’s a Transforming Head something looks off. IDK, I’m no expert
