Description Next_Nila


I haven't submitted something in a while :c and I clearly don't know how to draw hair/fur/clothes/faces. Haha this looks a bit like a water bottle ad...

Zhanglu + Zhuzhu inspired! c:

Critique this, please?

Edit 11/24/2009: I made her forehead smaller, gave her more defined eyes, and made her left strands of hair less stiff. Better y/n? What more can be improved upon?

I really like how soft this is, she looks amazing.
The only thing is, I've noticed in a lot of your pictures you a pay a lot of attention to the face but then everything else is less defined, and that sort of takes away a little from the over all picture. OTL

Yes, you're right I need to concentrate on the rest of the portrait. Thanks a lot for bringing that up!

Forgive me, she looks a little like Drew Barrymore! Teehee ^^

As usual, I love your skintones and shading. I demand a nose tutorial! Rawr!..

Only critique is maybe the forehead, which is a little high. But that may be characteristic of her, so it's fine, really.

Lol, thanks Helen!
oh, does she? I thought she looked a little like Britney Speares lol

Yeah, it is high, which was not my intention, so I will reduce it Gracias for your guidance!

vitellan In reply to Galbinus [2009-11-24 21:58:59 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks for not slapping me for mentioning the forehead (after I read the earlier comments I realize you'd heard it already). Early Happy Thanksgiving, in case I forget later!

Lol, it's no problem. If anything, you only remind me that she is rather Frankensteinlike.
Aww, thank you! You too! Oh man we have to meet up sometime.

insomniac-heart [2009-11-23 14:09:20 +0000 UTC]

I think the only thing is her forehead is a little big, or her hair line might be pulled back to far.
Otherwise you're an amazing artist with incredible talents

Her forehead is big, I don't know if you intended to do that.

Lovely style and picture as usual.

manhattanmartini In reply to Galbinus [2009-11-23 12:18:50 +0000 UTC]

No, not too big, but still bigger than usual. Don't worry, it's not bad at all. (:

zefiraelRain [2009-11-22 22:34:23 +0000 UTC]

I like your sort of half-realism drawing style (:
The strands of hair on her left look a bit too stiff/unnatural.
