Description
Looks like Candy Cotton caught some young hooligans leaving graffiti.. do you think she'll keep the "sweet cop" attitude going?This is *14-bis 's new Original character, Candy Cotton, a bunny cop in Cosmo City.
She's only new, but I couldn't help miss the oppurtunity to create fanart for one of my most favourite artists on deviantART. I admire his colouring and drawing skills, and I hope to match up to him some day
It was recently his 40th, I'm only 16 now.. I'll have time 
Critiques, I wouldn't mind! I am trying to improve, mainly in the anatomy department

This is really good, even though I am not a fan/liker of this particular *ahem* genre/style of art. I love how you coloured it in and the lighting on her ears is really good. I think anatomy is about correct unless the original artist intended it to be different. I especially love how you did the background, I think it is very colourful and full of realistic textures! Lineart is VERY neat and orderly not too thick and too thin, very impressive overall my good friend. Keep up the good work!

Ehh, not anthros you're referring to, I'm assuming? P: I'm not a fan either no, but trying it once couldn't hurt!
Hmm, well I did look carefully at her reference.. I think the only fault people mentioned was the arms, I modified them to have a bit more muscle then the original reference (she's a copper, she has to have something!), but still kept their leaness, but people found this strange. She's also mean't to be extremely curvaceous, of course.
Thank you for commenting on the background - this was killer! I spent a lot of my time just choosing colours to compliment her, yet still be slightly futuristic (which I failed at here but I put too much into it to change it 
And once again, thank you not only for the compliments, but the fine writ comment

No I'm not referring to anthros, but the sexualised anthros. I can imagine! I think you did very well on it, I think it makes her stand out and contrasts well with the colours she has. You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear that my comments are looked forward to. I only just realised that I missed a few words in my previous comment, haha I must be more careful nest time

Ahh 
I'm glad you think so! Took a bit of OCD before I figured I was OK with it
Naw, it's right! As long as I get the message, I'm fine. I'm prone to mistakes too

Haha, well keep drawing!

This is really awesome! The coloring is amazing. The lighting looks really cool and makes great shadows and stuff, and I love all the textures you used for it! It looks awesome!
I think it's really cool how you can see the shadows of other characters in the window. That was a cool touch
On the one sleeve, it almost looks like it doesn't attach to the rest of the outfit.. maybe you could fix that somehow?
Overall, this looks great and I can'find much of anything to really critique!
Just a random question, but how often do you normally spend on your pictures? (Because I have learned today that I apparently work ridiculously slow compared to most people when it comes to art XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
That window technique, I admittedly had to learn myself from making my new pages on BS, there were lots of shops there
Hmm, you mean her right sleeve? I'm not sure which one. I could fix it if you think it's worth it!
Aahh, gee! Depends! XD This one I spent on the most, most definitely, and that's 6 hours. Stuff I've done like "Saik Still Going Strong" and "Unterwasser" which are more detailed take me about 4-5 hours, but with previous works with lesser details, it took the same amount of time, I just wasn't too good at the time 
Don't fret with your drawing speed compared to others, if you look closely, you can probably tell some people rushed it and just wanted something quick to submit for the day, people tend to do this P:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem!
That's true! Shadows and little stuff like that are easy to draw, and make it look like there are actual living, breathing people around! XD
Really? Sheesh. I spend about 10 hours on everything, and they're not nearly as good as your stuff. But I'm sure it's just because I'm a lame-o beginner still and need a TON more practice.
And yeah, I'm not too worried. It's just hard for Art, because when we're suppossed to be working on one project, I'm the one that's still only halfway done with the previous one XD I just finished this one project we've been working on for the past 2 days literally JUST IN TIME to turn it in without it being late XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
10 hours, if I had that patience!
Do you just draw one picture, then work on it until you're satisfyed? The thing that's really got me improving, speed-wise espeically, is not to get too caught up on one picture, and just doing little sketches at a time, before getting onto bigger projects.
Also.. digital art is actually quite easy once you know the ropes XD Traditional stuff calls in for a bit more effort and time.
Oh, this thing happened to me too when we did surrealistic paintings! I realised though, that only me and my friend took so long because nobody else in our art class cared enough about Art to put their efforts into it. The time limit was really only catering to the majority of lazybutts in the class

First off, I'm sorry I'm kinda late to responding to this
Anyway, I do normally tend to work on one main picture at once. I don't like starting multiple projects at the same time only for the reason that I'd probably never get any of them done. XD But I do draw little sketches for fun when I don't feel like doing the other main project, those just don't turn out as good..
I would try digital art but I have no programs to use 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No it's fine! I was very late replying to you myself! I have been being late heaps lately ):
Oh, that's right! I mean so that you work on smaller drawings, finish them once you're confident with them, then with that confidence, move onto a big one. This is what I see when it comes to those people who submit a lot
But yeah, sketches are like that, but sketches are always modifiable! sometimes I come back to old ones and change outfits, for one, to make it better
That's alright, I never used to have them either
By the way - loving that new icon ;D

haha thanks XD actually made the icon, but she said I could have it

Ah, once again beautiful coloring and lineart.
Though, I do want to point out one small thing: With digitigrade legs, you have to pay a lot more attention to balance. Candy's right foot is turned a little too far inward. Hmm, I suck at explaining, eh heh. Uh, when drawing anthros, first try to see if you can make the same pose while standing high on your toes. So what I pretty much mean is that her right foot should be turned a little more outward.
But really, only furry obsessed people like me would notice something as small as that XD. Overall, it's very nice. I love it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you :3
Digitigrade - that was a new word for me XD
Oh no, I get what you mean! Her feet are turned in a bit too inward! I was really lamely trying to make a girly looking stance for her, normally done with feet on the ground.
Dah, I need your noticing ability! I really know next to nothing with drawing animals, I've just never ventured too far into that myself. Thank you so much!

Wow... You did amazing on this! The anatomy looks good from what I can see, except one little thing. The shoulders look a little too big.. It looks like she has a skinny body and buff on her upper arms. Other than that, it looks great!! ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
Yeah, you weren't the only one to say about those funny arms!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You welcome! It's okay, I'm still horrible at defining muscles xD It still looks great

Haha, he designed her well
And the pose.. well, thank you!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oohh, it's practice! And I look carefully at how other artists draw the same thing, it helps heaps ^^
Yes! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yaaayzX3333...nice, i can try tht but then wen i go to draw my oc it starts looking more like theirs
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
like for pose or design? If it's pose-wise, it's ok! Nobody can copyright a sitting pose or anything, just don't trace it or anything, draw from sight
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
naw, i dun trace over i see a pose i really like but i go do create it, then i mess up and for design yeah pretty much it looks like i'm copying theirs...sort of
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it's hard to get it exact, and I know this!
Good on ya! ^^ Draw things you like from other styles, like maybe an eye shape, or way to draw noses or something, but make sure it's all from different people, then modify it to a way you think looks good, that's what I do =3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
huh....that sounds about right^^...but then my pic will probably turn out sum kind of frankin doodle
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol that's why you keep practicing! XD Trust me, I never had any born skills to draw, just kept trying over and over.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lolz...i see little improvements maybe each year...but still it's had...ah well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! It exists, I tell ya XD Who knows where you'll be in a years time even! You'll just have to keep going to find out

Aww, thanks
Hmm, the arms eh? Someone else did say the arms where too narrow, so you're definatly right on that one! The head, it's a bit cartoony still, I think, isn't it? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Aahh, I got it! I'll try learning to draw arms a different way then (: Naw, don't be sorry! I'm so glad someone is finally able to help me recognise the problem! Honestly, I don't mind

Nice! Her lit-up ears and their glow on her body look great, and the graffiti looks good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like it too, part of the police uniform I guess
Hmm.. I suppose! The only thing inhuman about her would be her feet I think, so that would be the only thing that would OK to not follow with traditional anatomy.. interesting point actually!
