Hello! I'm from ProjectComment ! I'm here to bring you a critique!
First of all, I like how you shaded the blue blouse-skirt part. You paid a lot of attention to the loose blue fabric and it has a lot of folds. I also like how you coloured her eyes, glassy, but orb-like. I'm pretty sure you tweaked the hair shape, I like that shape there.
However, I would need to say her hair (pinks) are quite neon and were pastel-like in the movie, but it might be just of your liking of colours. Her left hand looks very stiff- it creates a feeling of stiffness of her pose. I think the blending of pink-blue for her hair's OK, but it seems like there are stray pin streaks on her blue side of hair.
Alright, thank you, have a nice day.

Wow, I love Steven Universe, and this was an amazing episode for sure! Cotton Candy Garnet is really cute and you portrayed her really nicely here too!
Things I like!
The pose, I can see what you were going for here, and I know that if you changed the hands to not be so stiff that you would have pulled it off perfectly. I will tell you below how I can help you with posing!
Colour choice, very pretty!
You really caught their surprise and personalities together in this portrait!
How things could improve:
- Some of the colours here may not be the correct choices, but a bit of studying of colour theory, such as searching for some color theory tutorials on deviantart will help a lot! They helped me!
- Have you heard of a program called DesignDoll? It's free! What it is, is basically you can use a 3d model and pose them however you want, you can even change how they look! It should help a lot with studying anatomy and proper posing. It even has a light source option!
- I feel that the eyes could be made more prominent, perhaps with a bit more contrast (darker lashes?).
- The blending of the hair is a wee bit awkward. Sadly, I don't have much experience with afros myself, or coarse hair at all to be honest, so I can't be much help in advice on how to make it look better. Perhaps not so much blending? Or more careful blending?
Anywhoo, this looks great, and I wish you luck in your conquest of art! Beautiful stuff my friend!

thanks for the advice!! i will take it in to consideration!! but just to let you know the colors are like that simply because i overlay different colors over top to change it a bit! but yes i see how stiff this pose is on her too! and i will try to make the eyes pop out next time too!! thank you for taking your time on commenting of this! Thanks!!

You're welcome! Definitely. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and art is subjective. There is no "right" way to do art so keep on glowing and doing you! Have fun my friend, very lovely work!!

I really like the way you drew her hair! The way the colors blend into each other are really smooth, and the texture in her shirt are well done. I like how you shaded the lines on it! I also really like her straight posture, and her facial expression is very clear to read. The nose looks a little big on the left side, but other than that, everything looks great! I think you could adjust the nose a little bit to make it look more angled straight. Overall, it really looks like you put a lot of effort into drawing Garnet, keep up the good work!

thank you!! for the advice!! oh um for the nose i think it is because of the shading, that the nose might seem too big if you look at it closer!! but still thank you for the advice!!

This actually really nice. The color scheme works well and I really like how you did the hair, it has a strong sense of volume and texture.
Structure wise, things look pretty good, although the hips might be a touch. The only thing that looks a little strange is the right hand, it kind of looks like she has 5 fingers, instead of 4 fingers and a thumb. But I know what you were going for, so it isn't a big deal. Overall, really nice work.
