Description Just some posing practice, though oddly enough, I like how the coloring came out better than the pose.

Ah! I might need to work on poses! ANYWAY, Red looks cute without the hat!

I like how the faces in this turned out. As a whole, it is simple, but very nice. Pikachu is just great.

Thanks! I liked how the coloring and face came out, but it needs some work. Another commenter pointed out that Red's hat is waaay to small and I'm currently in the process of trying to fix that. (By "in the process" I mean I have acknowledged it but I'm not doing anything until tomorrow. XD )

I noticed the hat comment, and I'm not sure if you should fix it. Yes, it is to small for the head, but if you fixed that it would be to big for the hand, and it is much closer to the hand than the head, so it would be easier to compare, and I feel like it is better to be accurate to the closer thing than the farther thing.

Oh, well, that makes my job easier! Now I can focus on the drawings I actually have yet to complete instead of trying to edit a more or less finished drawing!

And that is a good point, I have this problem a lot with chibi style, if you draw a character holding something that's supposed to go on their head it's hard to tell if you should scale it to the head or the hand. I have the same problem with Gold's Goggles, which always look so overly big but they have to be that size for them to realistically cover his eyes.

I guess it would get kind of confusing with that when the heads are so big. I'd say if it looks fine at first glance, like this one does, you probably did the proportions correctly, or at least made them nice to looks at. Though I suppose that wouldn't be much help for when you are actually doing the drawing, as opposed to looking over it afterwards.

Oh, you have a point. I didn't think of it like that! And yes, chibi proportions can be confusing at times.

They can be confusing, but when done nice they are most often quite cute.

I like the pose only the way his hat looks confuses me a bit but still .

Thanks! Yeah, the hat is too small, it came out generally well but it's too small, maybe I can fix it. Drawing a hat that's not on a head when the heads are big like that is hard, since "well, this is the correct size for a hat in a hand, but it does't fit the HEAD."

A hat belongs on a head so there's not much wrong if it looks strange when not on a head .

Well I'm going to try to fix that if I can. (But not until tomorrow. XD )
