Description Here's the other one for my school project ! The three remaining will be done in few months ahha (I still hope to have some time to do them all !)

So well, taurus is my zodiac sign, and I have to say i used to "hate" it. It's not a typical cool or cute thing a taurus, mainly if you're a female (let just say that virgo can help in seeing more feminine stuff than other sign, but that's my own point of view).

In short, I said that because I always had to be in the famous "not pretty" sign when I looked up for my horoscope (maybe we all get this feeling ?), so I wanted to draw a cute and adventurous girl for once for my zodiac !

First off, I want to say that your art looks amazing. You have a really nice style and the shading is really beautiful. I really love the colors that you went with, her eyes are very vibrant while the rest of the colors are a bit muted, it makes her eyes pop and her face standout. They're largely what drew me to this piece. The background also adds very well to the portrait, it has enough detail to make it feel like less than a blank wall but not so much that it distracts you.

My only critiques would be that her head seems a little offset, almost like it needs to be moved to the left (her left) a little. The fur on her right shoulder seems to cut in front of her neck a bit too much, it gives the impression that it's in front of her neck rather than behind it. Lastly, the symbol on her shirt feels a little off. It sort of looks like it isn't a part of the shirt but is floating in front of it.

I do really love all of the little details though, the freckles, the loose strands of hair, the seems on the jacket, they make her feel more real. You even added details on her ear, and it really does make all the difference. Keep it up

Just wanted to use whatever emotional spoons I had left to say your style seems to really be improving in little ways I like. 

Okay, back to negativity.

Well, her gaze was the first thing that drew me into this piece. She has beautifully contrasting colors in her eyes and hair so it makes her face pop. Then I saw the cute freckles and almost died (no, really, a monkey came into my house and--). I like her thick eyebrows; it fits the rough and tomboyish theme. The lighting on her hair is particularly well done, but it looks good on her jacket as well.

Somehow the placement of the head feels off. Look up her neck -- it seems like the back is really thick and makes it feel like her head is on just a little too far to her right. That seems to be the case when I look at the placement of her head and collarbone as well, that the head is too far to the right.

I think this could've benefited from crisper hair, like you did with the bangs. The ends aren't as defined and while it doesn't look bad as is, it could look better if you were a bit more consistent there. Also the very back of her hair near her right shoulder seems too light, like it should be colored darker to indicate more layers of depth.

I also noticed that the Taurus symbol doesn't really go with the wrinkle of her hoodie. It just sits on top of the wrinkle being a silly goof. Skew the angle of the symbol and add a little shading where the wrinkle should be shaded. I see a small discoloration, but it's not much and is barely noticeable. Lastly, I think the fur of the jacket could be shaded better. There's practically no shading on it as is and just looks like a cloud of fluff on her jacket collar.

The gentle and smooth lines all throughout make this piece feel really soft. And I tell ya, I can't get over how beautiful the lighting is. Or the character for that matter, she's absolutely gorgeous. I love her hair. So simple but just feels so her, and you colored the lips so splendidly (they're even highlighted well!). The way the freckles go along with the nose is cute, and her nose in general is just freaking cute.
I want to hug her.

This is a very pretty person. One of the most common, varied and interesting interpretations people tend to do are the Zodiac signs, and I must say, this is the first time I've seen a tasteful version of Taurus the Bull as a Female. I also love how her clothing resembles another certain zodiac character from Fairy Tail. Not sure if that was intentional, but it makes me smiles none the less.
You seem to have drawn some hair flips on the top of the head to represent cow horns; which I think is a really creative idea. I just think it could of been done a bit bigger; or a little more exaggerated.
Another suggestion I have would be to darken the skin and/or hair, since most bulls tend to have darker hides. Not sure if this was drawn with a specific person in mind, but just an idea.

All in all, I like this picture

Hi ! Sorry for being late ! Thank you so much for the comment ! 
I was always a bit frustrated about my sign (Taurus) because you could only see pretty strange version, and rarely cute ones, even if I understand because a bull is big and all I was a bit sad.
I didn't read much about fairy tales (I was around the 5th volume when I dropped, and now it's so far ahah) so I won't really know that sorry ><

I think you're right, I was a bit afraid to do too much, because I would have to come with bigger horns looking hair or otherthing for like the capricorn as well, or aries. I wanted it to be subbtle, but I think you're right it could have been more exaggerated to be more outstanding.
Oh, I guess I did have some myself maybe as some kind of models for my skin ahha. At first I hesitated with a more darker skin with some spots in white, but I wanted this kind of fresh feeling that is provided with this clear skin. Althought, I think your idea was nice as well and it makes me want to do more than just one drawing for each sign ahha

Thanks again for your kind comment !!

She's adorable!!! I love her design so much! She reminds me of a character who would be in the Percy Jackson series, very reminiscent of Greek mythology, but modernized. She looks ready for a wild and crazy adventure involving lots of magic, danger, and mystical things. Amazing job!
