Description
So about this time last year, I needed a break from my typical coloring style. The outline can be so limiting. This style isn't too far off from how i start most of my drawings. I end up doing a couple detailed sketches that just get scrapped once I get to the final stage. This process is both quicker and more enjoyable.So anyways I wanted to draw someone that I've drawn before and they needed to show some skin. I didn't ever plan on drawing Lucial again, but she fit the bill and it let me draw a huge sword.
Here's how I drew her last year. [link]
Better or worse?

I think it's drawn better, but the pose in the other picture was more interesting.

That's true. I wanted something simple to mess around with this style.

I prefer this version honestly especially how you colored the hair but the hair itself looks off like if it were a wig it would be falling to the right. Could just be me but anyways looks awesome overall

I actually didn't notice the hair looking off. Though I drew this somewhat quickly and there are certainly things here and there that are a little off. Thanks for the feedback

Nice coloring with the hair. I think her eyes are a little crooked (her left one looks weird to me) but.. that really doesn't matter because you colored the pupils amazingly! Haha, her bewbs are bigger than her head. Overall I love this piece it has a nice flow all around and the lighting is something I've just started getting interested in. It's really outstanding. n_n

I often mirror the image to check for issues early on, but this time I didn't until I was finished. Her face is REALLY off, but I was too far in to figure out how to fix it. If you want to totally ruin this image, save it and mirror it horizontally. I won't make that mistake next time.
I thought the breasts were smaller than the head. Lucial is the bustiest character I draw, but maybe I went too far this time.

Lasso tool to move/rotate the eye a bit further down and then blend it in. Though you don't have to do this.
What I meant by head, I was actually just thinking about the head when you do wire sketches for proportion purposes. Anime hair is so crazy in size I sometimes forget to include it. It's fine if you like to draw big breasts. Though I guess you could tone it down a bit. c:

Oh trust me, I have moved a ton of eyes in my day. Hell, the eyes probably give me the most trouble on all of my drawings. Of course when you get to the end without fixing things, you have already drawn parts of the head in relation to that eye and simply moving it doesn't end up fixing the problem. In any case, I would have fixed it if it was for someone else, but I think I can live with it as is.
I also was referring to the size of the actual head. This drawing is dimly lit, but her head should still be bigger.
I appreciate specific feedback like this. Don't hesitate to comment on any of my other work.

I have trouble with eyes too. I'm still not good at figuring cartoon proportions, so learning that moving the eye at the end after making the entire composition set is interesting for me! I keep that in mind next time I draw something. I do see the dimness in light, like I hinted before I'm just learning some properties of lighting. This tip on size due to lighting is very helpful for me.
I like to trade off in understanding some skill in drawing/coloring and I'd be happy to continue giving you feedback. Thank you for hearing me out. c:

i love this equipment
but i think the original spiky one was better

Maybe it's just the angle I drew her at, but the costume is actually more accurate here. I tend to like spikier stuff myself.

Small tidbit: Last year's version has her hand on my Devart Icon but that one is blue, my icon is yellow.
For some reason I thought I was watching you already, oh well problem solved *watches*.

Oh hey, look at that! I basically drew Lucial the way she looked when I stopped playing. I never got this sword, but it's just a classic weapon in the phantasy star...um universe.
