Evening! Thank you for stopping by my humble thread.
I'll update this thread with pictures I think are worthy of being shown XD
I NEED critiques, because I'm just now developing my own style that I feel comfortable with.
Please don't hesitate because I'm young XD

It seems with your coloring you need to work on blending. Just experiment with the smudge tool for a while until the color changes seems more like you meant it to be. Use layers too, so you don't have to worry when your stoke goes too far over another part. Other than that I like your style. The colors work well together and nothing stands out as wrong with it.

HI!

I think you have a good thing going here. Your colors are great, and your designs are great. I do, however, think that you need to work on anatomy a little. The arms on the last one are not 100% believable because the forearm is too oval shaped. So, I suggest looking at stock photos and finding a good anatomy book to practice with. Here is a good link to start with:

Your work is good, but the last one's anatomy is a little off in the arms:body ratio, as well as the arms themselves. The shade blending is really noticeable in the darker pictures, so smudging is a good idea. But, overall, your artwork is incredible. ^^

Not bad, if I were you I will start to clean up all the extra lines on it. But in others words it very well done.

P.S. I heart Vocaloid

I personally like that you can still see the strokes but... That's just me. biggrin

For the first, I can only suggest that you love those little highlights in the eyes a little lower because that's where her mouth piece...thing is a glowing. T'would be reflected a little lower. biggrin Also, if there is a blue glow, perhaps that would be reflected off the body as well.

The second--the lightning is a little inconsistent.
