Yeah, her right eye is kinda fubared. Being digital, just copy & paste it in the right place

Yes, the eye


Typical element that you can't see one day and the next day it's an obvious mistake (when you're the artist).

Maybe i should wait one day before I inked and coloured it


Thanks for pointing it out !

You should check out Chris Sanders' tutorial @

He sketches, sketches, sketches, then he picks one, looks at it over a light table, makes the correction, then tracing paper copies the corrections, then goes from there.

With CGI, I expect you can just scan it in, reverse it, tinker with it, reverse it again, etc. plus you should always flip a drawing upside down and make corrections that way. Artists that don't always make drawings that look funny. Look at Adam Hughes' work. He always draws porn star bodies and heads that don't match.

Yes, usually i use this work method. (i reverse the paper, i study the mistakes, re-draw, reverse, study, re-draw,...)

But this illustration was a quick work and i just draw, ink and coloured in the same day

I always wait a day or two until i ink or i put colour to a work. One or two days after you draw the pencils you can see all the mistakes much better than the first day.

Well, i hope the next will be better

i like it, looks a lot like the style given, yet it stands on it's own. particularly since it you used a different hairdo.
wich is the element that stands the most for me.
nicely done.

Yes, i failed with the hair.

I'ts a lot "my style hair", not Chris Sander's style =/

Thanks

i don't think you failed, it's a different hairdo, that's all.
sanders has very specific hair and i think what you did with yors is good.

Thanks

And... maybe, but the challenge was to do an illustrarion with Chris Sanders's style. So, in the end, i failed XD
