CG commission for a fellow PE member, :icongg-al:
Her character was simple and yet elegant at the same time to draw. I wanted to use a lot lighter colors and keep this image bright, but I'm not sure if I achieved this. My style is always so paintery. At first her head was too big, so I tried to fix that.. hopefully it's not too small now. Blablabla....

Anyways. Enjoy.

Critique by ~AppleDainty Jan 17, 2010, 2:22:48 AM
Well, I can see where you could think that the head is too big, but I think the real problem is her shoulders. You dropped one of them, but it's turned very awkwardly, and it looks too small - the rear shoulder looks bigger than the forward one. That's what is throwing this drawing off. The head and the body are proportional to one another, but the forward shoulder being turned and a bit too small makes the head look larger than it really is.

I also think that the back of the head got flattened out a little. It looks like she's leaning against something, but since you can't see the surface she's leaning against, it makes the hair look a bit strange.

The foreshortening on the leg coming toward us looks a little off, but I think that might have more to do with the coloring flattening it out than anything else; I think it needs a bit more of a highlight to make it look 'round'.

The only other thing I'd like to comment on is the curve where the thigh meets the buttocks. It looks like it's a bit too deep of a curve, but that's just me being a little picky.

Phew, sorry for the wall of critique text. I actually enjoy this drawing a lot, it's good to see someone who knows what they're doing with textures. I know the drawing is categorized as digital, but it has a very organic/hand drawn feel to it, and you didn't try to clutter it with a whole lot of background. The coloring is clean and simple, and I think that's what you were going for - you definitely achieved it.
What do you think?

As usual, it's very well done. I can see the head being a bit bigger than usual, but who am I to judge? I've bad anatomy skills xD

Ward turned out really well, I like how you posed her and her expression is perfect. Thank you so much for the wonderful image :)
I also like your coloring style and how you framed the image!

Very nice pose and expression! I love how her expression just slumps right into her pose, you can read her mood in it, makes her seem more real ^_^

The head looks absolutely fine!
The pic has a little forest elf feel to it! You really did the character better than I think you're giving yourself credit for.

Her head looks proportionate to me. I like her relaxed, sort of solemn pose/expression. c: I might suggest shading the top of her head more like the rest of her hair is, only perhaps without the highlights. I love her eyes by the way, big and dark <3

And I just realized you drew out the border yourself it looks like, nice job, I'm way too lazy to do tedious things like that. xD
