DON'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD COLD.
I came down with sickness two days ago and I'm at my worst right now, so while high on dayquil I decide, "I WANT TO DRAW
".
Kids, Don't do that.
I cheated a little, those of you who know I can't draw moons know thats not my doing... *teehee*
So, I think I'm going to take a break now and just... you know, sleep.
Tell me if anything seems off, there are some things that bug me right now, I wasn't planning on penning it but it would've been too light to scan if I didn't (3h pencil, thinnist you could probably go... like 0.1 for a mechanical pencil).
Everytime I ink something, it turns to poop...
Meh, I might add more details tomorrow, depending if I don't die after classes.
Felt tip pens, 0.3-0.6mm, and colored on GIMP. (I finally learned how to color the easy way!)

Beautiful! But when I try to view it full size, the bottom is cut off. I don't know if the problem is me, or something having to do with the site.

It might be the site, when I full view and scroll down, I see it just fine. But I don't trust my internet, its been teasing me all night, many times closing completely while I was in the middle of something. (Listening to Bearclaws song, hurhur) But Thank you! Any suggestions? (besides shoulder, first time this pose, porportion is a bit off.)

So lovely! I think so far this might be my favorite picture from you. So elegant and the hand is really well drawn. I really can't find much wrong with it.
 But since you're asking for it, I'd say that the curls could still be a little bit curlier. But only if you want to get it closer to Wendy's style. Because for your own style I think those curls are perfectly lovely. |

It's displaying normally now. I really like it, as I said. One thing I love is the milky white skin, and also the way the flowers are the same shade as her eyes. Since you ask for Level 3 criticism, though, I might add that the set of the shoulders seems off to me; there's too much shoulder in the front one, I think. I never criticize anybody's art that I don't actually think is terrific, though.

Treefox: Slowly getting used to drawing curly hair, starting to get the hang of it! I had always drawn completely straight hair until now and only recently started trying really curly hair. I can do wsipy but not curly, lol. Thank you so much!
Songflower: Thank you, I noticed the same thing. I usually think my drawing is great until I scan it... Everyone says I'm my worst critic. |

Ah, I like her expression! It's as if she's curious about something. As for C/C, I pretty much agree with what has been said. You've got your anatomy pretty well handled, just minor tweaks here and there.
I'd suggest you focus on your colours and lighting, especially now that you're learning colouring on Gimp. If you changed Joyleaf's background to a day instead of night, her colours would look better. Now she looks as though she's standing in front of a night-themed board/painting in daylight. Study some shading and colours; I found these tutorials very inspiring:A shading tutorial: http://fav.me/d2xo845 A shading tutorial & colours: http://fav.me/d45i1k3 Skin: http://fav.me/d2ixa8b This is more of a Photoshop effects tutorial, but I think it works in Gimp too (maybe not so much colours/shadows oriented): http://fav.me/d3hnm74 |

Czarine: Thank you for the tutorials, the first two I have tips in a fantasy tutorial book but I like the skin and effect two a lot, I have never seen a skin tut go that in depth!
Because of my cold I got really lazy with the coloring for this picture, but I might redo the colors when I'm better. But thank you! I will be using that skin tutorial, its so interesting... |
