Merle Says: A-chaaan! Aerith-samaa! It's actually a nice pic.. I think her belly seems a little flat.. and her eyes seem too square =} The background is quite nice with color pencils, but you may wanna use a blending pencil to get the colors to blend =} Otherwise, it looks very impressionistic. =} Myao.

Ryuuzaki Says: I love your colors! They're so strong and vibrant, especially in the sky. ^^ And a very nice basket too. ^O^ So, all ye hafta work on is Aeris and scenery (heh heh, ALL ye hafta work on...that's most of the picture isn't it? =b).

I'll start with the scenery. Mountains aren't all triangles. =) They're rather complicated actually, unless you draw some green rolling hills. But then again they aren't mountains. Next time you try to draw mountains, get a photo of em to help you with their general shape and shading. Also, your perspective needs a little work. Mountains should be a lot higher than Aeris, unless she's on top of one herself. I see that a few of the peaks are level with her, and it looks rather odd. Other than that, it looks nice, your colors are very pretty. ^^

Now, onto Aeris. Hmm...looks like we need some work on anatomy too. ^_^ Ye should take a look at some pictures to get the hang of face shape. Aeris's face looks kinda flat at the top. Also, her right eye looks like it's goin around to the other side of her face. At 3/4 view, the right eye should be short so that it fits on that side of her face. It's called...foreshortening! ^o^ When you get really close to profile view her eye will look like that (around the corner), but at this view it shouldn't. Heh...hands. I still can't get em right either. All I can tell you is to look at your own hand and try to copy it onto paper. =b If I can't get a hand to look right in one of my drawings, I put my own hand in that pose and copy it. Your general proportions are fine, just try to clean up the black lines a little (her right arm has an X in it!).

Ok, that's all your homework for now. ^_^
