Description You gotta love chibipaint X3

Seriously, you all should join me at MWC. If not for the whole create-your-own-pets feature, at least for the oekaki? It's a really fun community, everyone's nice, and art is pretty valued X3

Lol sorry. I couldn't resist X3
Anyways, I used the critiques from my previous one and tried to make a better one here I do realize I made the nose too wide... by instinct, I added that to the sketch and didn't realize it until I had already done all the fur and shading, and it was too late to fix it :c
But please critique me? I need to get this whole realism thing down XD

Hope you like it! C:

The cheeks definitely feel a lot more realistic to me now! The only thing I could say that is lacking this time is a bit of depth to the face. I wish I could better explain how to do this, but I'm sure someone else would D:

Yeah, I see what you mean X3 I'm not exactly sure how to improve on that, but I suppose I could always just try X3 Thanks! C:

Looks great! Every time I see a picture of yours in my inbox it's like you're getting better and better.
You use the smudge tool to get the fur effect, right? Do you do shading before or after? I'm asking because I'm interested in trying a style like this, but have no idea where to start. xD

And...what's MWC? "Create-your-own-pet" caught my attention.

I don't use the smudge tool at all dueing fur X3 First I draw the base color and darken it, then I do highlights from that as if it were a smooth surface, then I layer up short strokes of fur for each highlight color. I did use the smudge tool for the stripes though X3 I'll probably do a walkthrough next time I try realism c:

MWC (www.mywarriorcats.com) is a virtual petsite, and the newest big feature is being able to upload your own adoptables with unlimited stages, and up to 8 alternates C: You draw your pictures (I think the max image size is either 150 or 200 px) then upload them to each stage, then you can add alts. You get a shop where you can sell the adopts and even set the price, rarity, and stock c: It's really fun!

Oh, ok. Doesn't sound too hard. But time consuming?
A walk-through would be great!

That sounds cool, I'll check it out.

Yes, definitely time-consuming X3 I find it relaxing and even fun! c:

The first one looked great, but this one is even better,
It has whiskers! I love love love the way you did the eyes, and the fur texture looks great, n_n

Ooh! This one is even better than the last one. <3
Mostly, just the black part around the eyes... give it more texture and detail and put a little fur over the edges to make it look like the eye is more part of the face, instead of just pasted on top (not that it doesn't look great anyway, but...)
