hi I saw this on project comment ProjectComment

and would like to give a constructive criticism as objective as I possibly can. 

First off, I like the shading and line art. They feel very graphic and "pin up" which I was assuming to be your desired look for this piece (sorry if in wrong tho). I also like the white shading which feels really stylistic and works perfectly with the red lips. The skin tone is very nice and even.

Now to the part that could be improved for the better. I'll start from the minor one. The hair color choices, while it could be stylistic choices, there's not enough information on the drawing whether it's actually the hair or light reflected on the hair.

The highlights and shading could be improved upon by putting them on a more strategic places, especially the highlights since they're stark white, it's easy for the viewer to notice the mistake on them. You could start by studying editorial/magazine pictures as those usually have artificial studio lighting. The proportion of the character itself is OK if you meant them to be a bit large (but then again it depends on what kind of style you're after).

The background is overall a bit off, but as the viewer focuses mainly on the character, for now I guess you could try from something basic like perspective and putting guide lines for them. I honestly can't speak much about this topic as I'm also still struggling with them.

That's all, I hope that could help even a little.
have a good day.

Thank you for the criqtue! I had a hard time trying to put the lighting exactly where I wanted it. And I recently just drew her again if you want to see what the hair really looks like. www.deviantart.com/nikyleprodu…

I like the light parts of this drawing,
But there isn't much dark shading anywhere.
It could use that.

Shading can be hard.

Nice pose and colors I would make the legs a bit longer and thinner
