Hello! I was browsing through your gallery and came upon this piece. These just so happen to be my favorite characters in sailor moon! (and Pluto is my #1 e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I'll start out more constructive. Your anatomy needs a little work. I see the style you have and overall you have decent proportions, but you need to pay attention to shape. They could be more curvy, and have a bit more defined legs. These last four planets, if you will, have more attitude of the sailor scouts. Let their poses sort of represent that. Then there's facial anatomy. In the larger images of Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus the eyes are a bit too low on the face. Keep your eyes open for that kind of mistake. It's really easy to fix. ^^
Next is the clothing. You did a lovely job with patterns and colors. Now the next step for you is more wrinkles and folds in the fabric. I do see some more folds and such in your more recent works, but there could still be some more details you could fit in. The best advice about that I could give would be to look at yourself in a mirror with the same pose and pay attention to the folds you see.
Last there's shadows and lighting. Try more contrast. Make your darks darker and add some highlights here and there. (btw folds in fabric gives you more opportunity for both of those things) This really makes your pieces stand out more and really catch people's attention. The lighting in the hair is very nice though. Lovely job there.
I'm not done. There are a lot of really remarkable things you put your hard work into! All of the characters are accurate, for one, which is just awesome. Your coloring is good and strong, especially for using colored pencils. You mixed colors very well and attractively, something I personally have some problems with. (Colored pencils and I do not agree. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="19" height="19" alt="
I hope I wasn't too hard on you! Sometimes I get a little carried away in a critique. I tend to be a little pickey soemtimes. It must be my undying love for shiny things. Oh and, just curious, but waht kinds of colored pencils do you use?

Thankyou for my first critique!
Don't worry, I don't think the critique was too hard. 
I see what you mean about the anatomy, I knew parts were off back then but I wasn't sure what and how to fix them.
I'm trying to improve on the clothing and my shading and I hope you see improvement in future drawings.
Thankyou very much for the compliments! 
I use Faber Castell Water Pencils for parts of it and some cheap pencils from a local store. But now that I have more shades of water pencils I just use them as they work better for me!

No problem at all! I'm glad i wasn't too rough. I can be a bit painfully blunt sometimes.
okay. higher quality is good. I'd suggest maybe trying out prismacolor colored pencils. They are the kind that i have (though i almost never use then
oh noes! i've forgotten one of the most important parts of a critique! i always end with my little word of advice, an old saying that i've adopted. just remember, practice makes perfect!

I've seen a few drawings using prisma and the colours are very bright and nice. Before I bought my faber castell pencils, I was actually wondering whether to buy those or prisma.
When I have the money I'll probably try prisma or copic markers, but copic markers are quite expensive -_-
I'm relying on the magic of photoshop right now while waiting for some christmas money!
And thanks for the advice! Practice does make perfect!

prismacolor is very nice. but if you are planning on gettin copic markers i would suggest finding some way to practice with them a bit. they can be a bit hard to use. i use some prismacolor markers (which i hope to quickly replace with copic) and two skin tone copic markers. they are very nice but VERY expensive.
lol i have to use a lot of photoshop, mainly because my scanner always kills the quality of my pictures -_-"
haha. it's the best advice i have to give! you hear it all the time but once you're really told it it doesn't really make a difference.

I was think of just getting 2 or 3 copic markers for the skin tone, do you have any suggestions on what shade to buy? I like the colors you used on [link]

in that picture i used skin tones E00 (skin white) and E13 (light suntan) for that one. it's mainly just skin white layered over and over so it's darker.

I'll have to come back and give this a much bigger comment and/or critique when words have stopped failing me

I might do something similar to this with the girls from SM (the original 5 of course), but I love the layout and how the characters are separated but I think it would work a little better if I colored my art, but I'd only like to see it done digitally and I dont know anyone that knows how, and I don't wanna put in the extra time to work it out

Good luck if you do decide to draw the picture!
And yes! I did feel realllyy happy when I finished it!
Thankyou
