that is a really tight dress... she has to be a shuffling around. sweatdrop

It is her head/face i am more worried about...doesn't seem to fit the angel that you want her to face. I can't explain or show you. sorry.

She looks a bit like a man. Her shoulders are too broad and her heard isn't a good shape. The hair isn't bad, but try working on making it look more natural. Her arms needs an elbow, and her boobs are pretty scary lookin'. The outfit design is pretty good though.

How about a holliday red/green line? biggrin

Anyways, I'm not too familiar with your character but from the look of her expression she seems to be innocent or very joyful person.. or at least at the moment she is. So I suggest moving her arms up in a more relaxed position and it is a tad cuter for an innocent character.

Your legs just seemed very flat to me so try to draw them out as well as possible before adding clothing.

As well as trying to show more of where muscles are in things such as the torso/arms and legs. This is very important for developing a nice style. smile
--------------------------------------------------------------
As far as clothings go you don't show any understanding of folds because you show almost no folds!

In the position she is in there will be a crap load of folds in her dress.
I agree with Doctor Nitrus Brio, the way you drew her dress because of the lack of folds means that it is very tight.

Also for the hair, it seems very clumpy and doesn't flow well.
I know millions of animes clump all their hair together but because this is a sketch, showing more of a flow and loose/strandy hair style is much eaiser on the eyes


I hope I helps some what c:
good luck in the future! 3nodding

gonk Yeah, I haven't really messed with clothes too much. XD Too busy still trying to get proportions and shapes of the body correct. This is one of the first ones I put a lot of thought into that I didn't have a reference image I was basing it off of as far as the clothes go. I normally just throw on the most basic of outfits.

Thanks for the redline.

Oh, and also crying I already do the entire body before drawing clothes. But you did pick up on the characters personality, which I wasn't expecting so much. ^_^

Thanks again.

Trust me we have all been there with proportions lol I'm still kinda there. Luckly I'm at the point where I can ketch my mistakes normally though.

Just keep praccticing because you seem very open minded to critism and that's great for progression biggrin

she looks ok just a bit werid in places. her head shape looks werid it might be ther hair or the way shes facing, the top part of her head just seems to long if you kno what i mean. and her shoulders look werid too the left side seems to go down to far and her left arm seems really long and stiff.

haha i have defininent proportion issues!! lmao xd
so yea for the critique her eyes look abit close together and one looks bigger then the other. then again it could be just the way shes looking. idk. also, i just notices her ear looks kinda big. also, her head looks like a square. try making it rounder or something like that. also, like wat was said before, he shoulders look kinda broad. if anything just make them smaller.
i give u like the biggest props for drawing the hands and toes. yea...i cant draw them for crap lol. i gotta practicee.
well thats all i gotta say. it looks relli good tho.

keep up the good workk mrgreen
