Hey there ^_^

You have a lovely style.
On your first one, I love her attitude. The thing that really sticks out though is her fingers and toes don't seem to have as much care as the rest of her. The fingers have very random shapes, varying a lot in width.

I love the colours on the second one. I think overall it is very well done. I only have a nitpick, the face profiles seem a bit flat, not enough varying angles between forehead and chin and such, but like I said, its more of a nitpick.

Can't wait to see more from you.  

[joke-mus]

thanks for the advice/comment biggrin

i know that hand/feet are my weaknesses sweatdrop

and oh yes, the faces seem a bit flat... i shall try to do it better next time 4laugh

[joke-mus]

sweatdrop i hope i get some feedback... i might check out the mentor threads ^^'

I really enjoy the pose on that one.
My only major crit is that the hand holding the staff is too small. Otherwise it's looking good, I think.
Her toes seem a bit stubby, but thats a personal preference thing.  

[lenapii]

I love the details you put into the sketch!
I think what puts me off is the 'angular' feeling of her arms and hands?
Her left arm (our right) seems to be sticking out of her shoulder joint, I think it should be closer (if that makes sense) XDDD
and her other arms seems to be doing an awkward pose :'D maybe you could edit it and make her put her hand on her hips or so?

heart Sorry If im confusing you xDD *sucks at explaning*  

[joke-mus]

hmyes whee i see what you mean [both of you biggrin ] i shall try to fix it biggrin

[some other people at the wip forum said somethinig about the length of her legs not being the same... i should modify that too biggrin ]
