[UkyoKuonji2004]

Hi Fanatic! *glomps* Where the heck were you?  

[Cecily D Aria]

Band camp. It was hot and exhausting.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

art student!

XD i'd rather get better than stay where im at

I warn you... You asked for this:

Art Student: One word, child, SHADING! Use it. Otherwise all your subjects look like blobs. As it is, Her upper lip looks fat, her chin under defined. Her nose looks three times larger than her eyes, and if your drawing a normal human, that isn't the way they look. If her head was tilting to one side again, SHADING would have made that more exact.
The hair... While I'm sure is fairly close, has no depth, and is several shades lighter than the lines around her face. I can't tell if the hair is completely pulled back, or hanging on her neck. Is it clean and glossy, or dull, lifeless, and flat. The bun is well done, you can see the curves in the hair and how it moves, but you can accomplish the same effect with Highlights and lowlights.
I like the work you did with her hoodie, but once again, SHADING. In an Art Student's line of work this is everything. Shading, tells us where and how heavy/light the material is. You did well with the visible lines, but shading would have had a stronger effect.

That said, I know all Camera/scanners are not of the highest quality, and the shading if there is any, might not have shown up because of the mechanical Error. For better understanding of shading, try working with Charcoal.

Friend Haru:
Wow Puppet your really improving. I love what you did with the bun, I can really see how her hair hands. And the Hoodie is amazing, Like some of what I've seen in Mangas.

Uhg peoples lack of faith is disturbing...  

[CactiAndCanaries]

sweatdrop actually haru... she did have a giant beak

I thought it looked smaller in the picture

I'll do better on shading next time!

but... i dont really know how to shade, i always make it look funny >_<


I like your critisisms though haru

it makes me better ^_^

*tackles GC*
*twists arm*

Plead mercy!  

[Hiraru Sagara]

... Lack of Faith? *Is confused*

And Puppet... There's something you can do to practice shading. Take a piece of note book paper, Begin shading it from one line to the next. Going right to left, on the first line you will go dark to light, the second line Light to Dark, the third line Dark to light, The forth Dark to light, and repeat that pattern, until BOTH sides of the paper are completely filled. This will teach you how to made a gradual shade.

I know it will be boring, but it works, trust me. I did this over fifty times each page slightly different from the next until I could do Gradual shades, and faster shading. It was a pain, but it really did make me better.
