Description HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKKI!!!!!!!! >> <<

FFFFF I hope I got this right! I feel disatisfied with the hair. Sigh...BUT I KEPT THE FACE SHORT. I THINK. SEE? C:

A comissioned drawing, that I finished in time for her birthday. I'm sorry about skipping over you ! I DID start your comission, but barely, because the pose is giving me problems. BUT I'LL BEAT IT UP UNTIL IT'S RIGHT.
I just wanted to finish this in time for Nikki's birthday! Have a great one!

Best wishes,
Alexie

Critique time! BECAUSE I CAN. n.n

Let's start with the good, shall we?
Your coloring is getting better~! And, you did a good job with the pose; after all that work, it paid off! I love how she and the Munchlax practically have the same expression, alongside their poses. The face looks right and generally balanced, so I can't say much about that other than a "thumbs up". :] Same with the hair.

Now for the real meat of this critique, because that's why we all want them. >u>

The Pose: Though you did a a good job, the part that bothers me is her hand (the one holding munchlax). You're probably aware, but the fingers aren't thick enough, so it looks a bit like paper, or something else thin.
On the other hand, holding the key chain,the pinky is a little too stretched out from the rest of the fingers. The middle finger should also be slightly longer than the rest of them, even at that angle. Her thumb looks a tad bit awkward as well because of the obvious and very dark fold, giving it the appearance of being forced against her palm.

In the Shading: The light source is a bit mismatched from her head down to her main body. I'm sure your intention was to show the bulk of her hair at the parting, but that also makes it appear the light source is coming from the right. The shading might also be a tiny bit darker behind Munchlax, but can be excused as the light source isn't too strong. Inside his mouth it should also be shaded a little more, as no light gets in there. You could give some appearance to that by darkening the lines where the shadow should be, too. The shading in the right (our left) hand should also be a little weaker towards the palm. In that pose, her hand would be too flat for her fingers to cover the palm.

The coloring itself: the streaks are a little bit obvious (or at least, to me). Maybe coloring a little faster could help? Some of the shadows don't completely blend into the base color.

I'm no expert, but just giving my two cents. ;D

Good picture~! She's so cute <3

Aww! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! The snorlax is adorable as I expected, the hair is gorgeous, and yes, you did keep the face short (but not too shojo!).

You remembered the ring! It's perfect! EVERYTHING IS PERFECT! I especially like how you snuk in the snorlax!

Thanks so much!

Love,
Nikki!

SUCCESSSSSSSSS! <3

I was screaming in my head "DON'T FORGET THE RING, DON'T FORGET THE RING." My mind-voice running dry for this was worth it. -shot-

You did say you wanted a keychain. xD

And you're welcome!

Love,
Alexie
