I'm sorry I didn't draw her with her jacket or hoodie or something. I just couldn't get it to look right *is shot*

AAAAGH, my computer screen must be super bright! All that nice, subtle shading on the black just looks like a big dark blob on the other computer >.<

Critiques


:icondrextalorr:
It's been a while since I've perused your gallery, but I took a look today and this really stood out to me.

This is a very nice pic, overall. I think the main problems here are in the shading.

You seem to use softer brushes to shad with, and that can really take away from a piece. Try using harder brushes to get more depth. Also, some of the shading here just doesn't seem dramatic enough. What I mean is that in some places there's barely any shading when there should be a good deal more, and with darker shadows. The biggest are like this is the arms.

The only other thing I see here to crit is her wrists, which kinda look a little bulbous. Try to make the wrists flow seamlessly with the hands. There's a little bump of a bone on the outside of the wrist of a real hand, but you must be careful when you try to draw it.

I hope that helps! Overall it's very good. :D

This picture also stood out for me too, form the rest of the deviant artworks.

Okay, critique!
first thing that I noticed were the eyes were a bit off. My grandmother said, when it comes to paintings of people, the eyes are the most important because that's what people look at first. Either the right one needs to be turned inwards a bit more, or the left outwards a bit more.

2nd thing. I think that that posture is interesting and well done although the back wouldn't be so straight and the tops of the knees on an average person usually come up to about an inch below the chin, when they're sitting like that. Sit like that in front of a mirror and you'll see what I mean.

3rd -I'm really pulling this apart aren't I *is shot*
like drextalorr said the wrists are a bit bumpy, and seems like she has arthritis. Arms are pretty much straight to the back of the hand with just a tiny bump for the wrist bone. Again look in the mirror. It helps me :D

Another thing with the arms is that the one on the far side looks like it has two elbows. You should be able tp see more of the top part of the arm, which should flow to the shoulder. Once again do this infront of a mirror.

Apart from that *looks at melting neume-chan* The clothes were done quite well, and couldn't see a problem with the shading.
I also like the little birdy in the background :D

Hope that helps! If I'm allowed could I do a little sketch of this to better clarify what I meant? *is shot*

Keep up the good work!!!! *runs*

Wow! That is the most awesomest critique EVER! Thank you SO much! *hugs you*
I'm going to go off and practice with those changes. Such helpful thoughts!
(When I sat in front of the mirror like that, with my back straight, my knees only came to my chest, not my chin - but I'm really tall, so... xD)
I really, really need to learn how to use a reference picture, lol.
Heeeeeellllp, I'm mellllllltttttiiiiiinggggg! *turns into a little puddle*
The birdy is my favorite part, haha ^-^
Go ahead! I'd be honored if you'd do a clarifying sketch!
