It's more of an avatar, but the clothing is similar to stuff I own. I actually don't look much like her. >.<

Soft lines and soft colours make for a soft-looking lady :3c

This is really awesome, I like the "selfies" you make. And I'm sure none of us is sad to see that they've become...rounder as of late. Keep up the good work, so glad to see you're publishing stuff again.

Needs more contrast and definition of colour areas if you want to rely less on lines.

Yeah, that's something I was struggling with. I'm always a little too safe with the colors I use.

Try doing a defined grayscale underpainting and then coloring on top, then adjusting light & shade more on top of that.

Hmm... that's a really good idea. When I color on top, would I be doing so with a lower opacity or something so that I can still see the shading underneath? Or would the underpainting just act as a guideline for what values I'm using later? That's something that has always confused me.

I usually make a complete underpainting in grayscale, but won't make the darkest areas too dark. Then I put a multiply layer on top for the colour, and then bring areas of light up with more opaque color; I use that technique most of the time with acrylics/oils too, kind of like glazing but digitally.Β
Most often I do a well-detailed underpainting, but not too much; the final details you want to have in colour, and the biggest contrast goes to where you want most attention from the viewer; important clothing bits, paraphernalia, the face, etc.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot next time I'm able to play around with color. I appreciate the advice!
