Description EDIT: Her name is now Hanako (i had a hard decision between 3 names..)
EDIT: added info about her

Been a while since i drew a new oc c:
(You may remember this oc from my WIP below.)
[link]

Anyway, I adopted her from -> [link]
I luv her design c:

Ive also been trying new coloring skills (i hav an unconsistent style).. and i like it, just a tiny bit.

i dont kno how to draw backgrounds so.... sorry for the ugly sky.

oh, like i said in the title, i cant think of a name for my oc, does anyone have suggestions? If u actually think of one i like, i might give u a very small prize in return.
no more name suggestions, but if u gave one, thanks so much! i had trouble between 3 names. the 2 other people will be allowed to get a llama and a free waist-up RAINBOW sketch request. the winner...uhm will get a llama and a flat colored waist-up..i guess.

You will kno who u r if i sent u a note.

okay, so heres a little bit of personal info about her

NAME: Hanako
Birthday: August 18
Likes: the environment, nature, flowers, bows, grass, friends, reading books, taking walks, relaxing, cute things, cake, animals
Dislikes: being angry, anything "ugly", rain, thunderstorms
Personality: She is warm-hearted, typically gentle, quiet and loyal. Is not easily angered, but when she does lose her temper, she can get...well, crazy and unpredictable. She's also sensitive and emotional when it comes to her friends. When that happens, she has a hard time controlling her thoughts and actions, which may cause her to hurt others. (sorry for horrible description OTL)

(
( I would like some help on sky backgrounds, hair flow and clothes coloring.)

Hello, sorry that it's quite late, but here's your critique ~

Negatives:
I don't see many folds in her clothes. Folds are there when a little piece of cloth is changing direction. Drawing folds is hard, but you can look at your own folds in your clothes if you want to draw them. The amount of folds also differ in the kind of clothes and also in what position it is in. When clothes are being blown away a bit, like in this drawing, then there are quite a lot of folds in the clothing.
There's little shading in her skin, hair and clothes. You can use darker shades to create depth in the drawing. You can also use a bit different colours to give a bit depth, like for the skin, you can use for example purple for the really dark shades
Her hair doesn't flow really nice. When the hair flows (like in the wind or something), the flow mostly looks like a little wave. You can also add individual hairs to have the flowing effect more.
Her armpits are too high and her clavicles are standing a bit too far out of each other.

Positives:
The atmosphere is really nice, it gives a friendly and soft impression of the girl
I really like her design, it's nice to see that her ribbon is purple, wich gives a bit contrast to the green and yellow ~
Her expression is really sweet!

So, in short, the drawing looks really great and sweet, just pay a bit attention to the folds in the clothes, shading and the flow of the hair
I hope my critique was helpful for you!

You're welcome! ~

Well, they're not really standing in the right place, I made a little correction to explain a bit better: [link]
The red line is the correction btw ~
I hope you understand it a bit more, I'm not perfect at explaining some things, sorry for that

She looks lovely!~ <333 I really loved her design as well~ But I had to let her go~ xD
Tips on hair flow- uhm, you could make the hair have more separate locks?~ Because hair kinda goes all wonky and stuff~
I used to draw hair all in one go LOL. But not I'm making sure the hair is not really connected to any other strands.
But there are exceptions for back hair cuz I'm lazy~
