Description
Okay I was trying out something new. Sorry if it isn't the best, but I am trying to better my style, but I might go back to outlines. I really need constructive criticism on this one so please tell me what I need to do to get better. And as always, any ideas of pokemon you want me to draw, let me know.Related content

Very creative! You did a good job with the design! I could tell it was Zorua when I first looked at it.
There are a few things to fix on this piece. A common mistake for artists is to make the eyes to big and that is what has happened here. Be sure regarless of style to make sure the eyes are decently spaced right now they are too close a good rule to follow is the one eye rule. Basicly you should have enough room to draw one eye inbetween the others. The next is the legs they look just a tiny bit too short not overly so but just enough that it is noticable. other wise the anatomy came out pretty well.
Besure when coloring anything to cast dark enough shadows. right now there is not enough contrast on parts of her body makeing them seem to all blend in together.
My advice work with your contrast. A little bit of practice can go along way!

Thank you for your comments. I will keep trying to do better, but her eyes are big on purpose.

Even though this is weird by being naked- it's one of the best of your work I've seen. Good job!
You're anomy could use some work, as the calves are a tad short- and you may want to try a more consistent point of light/shadowing [and/or have one]. Also- you have a window behind the subject and it seems to have little or no light entering it when it doesn't look dark out? Last thing- the tail is misplaced. When drawing tails you can get a better shape and placement if you draw it [on a rough] as if you can see straight though the subject. Draw it all from where if begins to where it ends. Yet- not bad at all.
Seriously good job! (I hope I helped a tad...)

Okay, constructive criticism...
The proportions aren't bad, but they need work, especially the face. The eyes are far too big for a normal human face. Scale 'em down a little.
There needs to be more definition on the nose, as she currently has no bridge on it. It's just flat with this little thing sticking out. It's more typical of a Japanese face than that of a woman with dark skin.
Her knees are a little undefined also, as with her waist.
The main thing here is to try and draw a bit more realistically, and less like Manga. Manga is awful for throwing people astray on the path of art. The style of facial features used in it is meant to be an exaggerated Japanese face, so it wouldn't be appropriate for a black woman anyway.
Also, Zorua is meant to be a baby pokemon...

I draw anime style, I do scale down for realism. Thank you for the help about the shading. I do have problems with that. And I know she is suppose to be a baby. >< but i realized that too late.

ahh, it's cool. I'm just one for semi-realism, and currently, Manga is my enemy... >:I

Why is it your enemy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because it ruins so many people's chance at art, because they think they can get by with it, which they can't because most art schools and colleges will turn you down because of it.

I took formal art classes in high school. I am not going to college for art. I like cartooning. My friend does both effectively.

There's a difference between cartooning and Manga. For one, traditional western cartoons seem to have more of a sense of facial features.

I like them all. cartooning in all forms

Hmm, it's an interesting style. Maybe more shading to compensate for the lack of lines where similar colours are concerned; otherwise, very nice.

Thank you. i shall try to do that in the next one I work on.

No worries, glad to help.

Whoa sorry I can't give constructive criticism but this is really nice
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow! This looks really good! ^^
I love how you haven't used outlines, and the shading is nicely placed so you can clearly see the legs, and the colours don't blend so it looks like more of a blur.
The only thing I have left to say is that maybe a little more shding around the nose because it's hard to see it properly.
Other than that it looks great! <3

Thank you. the nose has been bothering me a bit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Your very welcome.
I would just say a little line of shading going up to the eye or something to define the nose a bit more ^^

Yeah. I am going to practice some more. but I think I may have to get paint tool sai to do better

Yeah, SAI is a great programme to have, I think it only cost me £45 (Not sure what that is in $
