Here's the story:

One day ago, I took out my crayons. And colored. I did this:

Shitty, right?

NOW.
An hour ago.
I told myself, "You have to beat the crayons. Beat the crayons."

And what did I do?

I ******** conquered it. After two hours of sketching, half an hour of inking, and an hour of coloring, I did it.

And I'm even proud of this picture. :] I feel happy right now.

If only I can do this more often with headshots.

This is where you come in.

I want some critique. I mean, I may love this picture, but it's definitely needed.

<3 Thanks~

User ImageShocking...

I really like the hair on the last one! The only thing I can think of to do is to shade. I don't use crayons much, so I don't know how to go about that.

...isn't it?User Image

When I see the first drawing I think you coloured it on something with a bit too much relief on it. Or did you do all the points on purpose ? Or is it you scanner.

Anyway i don't know if this is helpful but I colour like this.
First I colour everything in very softly after that I colour a thick dark dark line next to the lines and then a stroke in between the dark and the softly coloured. And then you can blur it a bit so it looks smooth.

If you don't get it [because I can't explain] I'll make a little 'tutorial' for you this afternoon ? n.n If you want too . . .

*had forgotten to check thread* D8

I think I get what you're saying; it's like making a small boundary between the edge of the line and a little ways out, in order to shade? O 3 O

Ok fo rthe top one I couldnt find ANYTHING wrong with it.
Its really well done. I still need to work on plain old standing people bodies
looks like youve got that down packed but for the second one the only thing that i can say is that the eye that isnt showing.....Its not showing because her hair is supposed to be covering it right? But really the bang should be a lot bigger because with the hair covering the eye like that it makes it look like the girl has a very fat face...sorta like a babies.
