Artist's Comments: This drawing is one of my rare full picture (with legs and all). I want to know about the mistakes I've done with this and hopefully learn from them. Sorry about the file size, I had to make it big to show the details.

Young Wang Says: Hihi. =^.^= Your coloring isn't that bad actually.. the initial drawing has a few errors that can be pointed out. Actually, I'm surprised.. the wrinkles in this character's shirt are quite good, but the line drawing of the image does not have any wrinkles in it, which makes it look funny. =) If you want help on how to draw clothing, try looking at something like a JC Penny catalog (I did.. =^.^=) and draw those people. Try to observe how cloth 'hang's on certain points on a person and why they do. Then after a while, clothing becomes pretty easy to figure out. Two questions come to mind... first, is this person a guy or a girl? =^^;;; Sorry, I can't tell.. very non gender biased outfit and colors and figure. Long hair. Hard to tell. The only clue I'd have is the bow in her(?) hair, but I've seen guys with bows in their hair.. I mean, sometimes I wear pink scrunchies. =^.^= Second question.. is she sitting? If so, what on? It's hard for me to figure out she's sitting because her legs don't really have any foreshortening... but are semi bent. Other than those nitpics, it's not bad. =^.^=

Laine Says: wooo cute pic !! i think i can se you like the rather " kodomo " style for drawing cute kids ? i'd recommend looking at tinami's kodomo category for more inspiratin on this :D uhm...back to pic . the clothes folds need a little work methinks , right now it looks like one piece ! what ye need to do is to add some variety to the outlines on the clothes ; like some bump here , up and down here and there , cloth folding inwards here and overlapping there ; stuff like that . observe the way shirts fold and ye will do great stuff in time ! other than that , uve got ur anatomy pretty good , all ye need to do is add more details to the picture such as wood grain on the spear , metal scratches on the poking thing , a more interesting background ( i always like skies :P ) and maybe some texture to the wings like veins or light shining through the wings ? :D gambare !

Maggie Says: Very cute picture Tine,and I hear you have a little trouble with shading and lighting? Well, the first thing when doing that is to determine the light source, and to give it a real nice three dimentional look be sure to make the shaded part dark and the lighted parts light! Sounds simple, but it does take some practice. This pic is a little overwhelming in the light part, but maybe looking at it a little will help you with shading on skin and folds in clothing. Overall, your pic a really cute and has a nice background, but one more little thing about the wings. If they are sopposed to be like bird/angel type wings, you may want to accent or outline the feathers a little more. If it's not sopposed to be bird-like wings, then I'mjust going to shut up and enjoy your picture!! ^_^ keep up the good work and let me know if I helped....any! ^_^ Ja!
