Description
This was originally drawn for a contest at TinierMe, but I used it to test some drawing styles :3
Inspired by the video here [link]
Isn't it pretty? Shall upload the original image into Scraps soon, so I'll link then. Original Image can be viewed here: [link]
Small mistakes in anatomy are due to accidental mistakes in the lineart - don't worry, I've caught them ^^
(For the record: the top-left shading on her shirt makes her chest look awkward, her left sleeve is slightly off, her arms are too long because I drew her fingers poking through and the left side of her skirt is wonky :3)
Now to work on all those other commissions...

Hmm this is a nice pic. However, i'd like to point out some minor errors here: her neck is too long and her shoulders seem a little too broad. Overall, I like it. I love the fade effect on the bottom and the BG, also.

Hey, thanks for the critique :'D
It's an old piece, tbh, but I'm glad you like it. Not much of my old stuff is too salvageable c':
Thanks!

Hello! I am from #BreakoutTeam of
Here is your requested critique:
What is really striking about this piece is the fantastic use of texture/pattern and good colour synchronization. This is very well done and a good use of your resources. I also found quite clever your use of your watermark in a matrix-reminiscent style.
However, I must note that the visuals are extremely cluttered, mainly because of this background, if you were to down tone it a little it would have been more effective. Your colouring style is very flat, and does not make Miku stand out very much. Also your posing and composition is unoriginal- this style of pin up is extremely common- perhaps next time you could try your hand at perspective or alternative posing. The anatomy is a little bothersome, Miku's arms and neck are much too long and the distance between her head and shoulders is too far and unnatural. Try practising from still life or a reference to get a better grasp on anatomy. From this image and the rest of your gallery, my insight is that you should focus on creating more natural looking imagery and improve your compositions, anatomy and rendering.
Good luck with your art, and I hope that helped.

Oooh, thanks
I'm not actually that concerned on the posing; I was just trying to test my colouring and anatomy in that picture, as well as backgrounds. I'll work more on my anatomy as well as colouring like you suggested, and thank you very very much for the lovely critique <3
Ciao~
