Of course it's not bad! I always want to know how I can improve. =D

I do use colored pencil, yes. ^^; I use prismas (in those pictures I combined them with roseart, crayola and prismas) and the colorless blender. I would like to color them digitally with photoshop, but I don't have it. XD;

The only deal I have with your pictures is that they're ... stiff. I dunno how to put it ... I mean, they're good ideas, but you've got a ways to go to make it to the level I think you can reach.

I'm in agreement with bucky katt. They feel a bit stiff, i think the reason might be the anatomy, but the pose has a large impact as well. I suggest taking some time off and looking at some proportions. Look at some models and such (leah dizon has lotsa mainstream japanese poses).
Anyways, look in the mirror also, Put you palm at your chin and your finger tips should be close if not at the hairline. Use this to help you measure ie) shoulder to elbow is 1 face, elbow to wrist is 1 face. 2 faces from the chin is the belly button area.
Also, the knuckles in the second picture are too flat. They need to roll downward, Look at your own hand when you make a fist.

Anywho, that being said, I think you have very large potential. Your coloring with pencil crayons are done nicely. If you continue on with traditional media, might i suggest copic markers later down the road?
Keep it goin =] i look foward to your next picture ^^

oh yeah, if you want to do digital coloring, i can help you in that area =]

Awesome! (Thanks for the comment on my art, I really appreciate it! ^^)

Your coloring is so nice! <3 You're very good with colored pencils! And I admire your hand drawing ability. O_O

Um, critique? Hmmm... I hope you don't mind me giving you some. ^^; I think you're talented and just need a bit more of a push to get even better. =P

So... You've shaded the skin, but remember, clothes also need to be shaded. So I guess what I mean is... more shading of the whole pic in general? xD

And... I know I shouldn't be one to say this, but your charas are kind of stiff, like what Bucky Katt said. Maybe more folds in the clothing would help?

Oh and one more thing. XD In the first pic, the spoon is bigger than the cup... almost, not really. So just be careful of that. =D

I hope this helps! You're very creative in colors and clothes, and I think that you can really take your drawings to the next level. Btw, feel free to critique me as much as you want, too! xD


Wow I just noticed that this is the longest comment I have EVER written on AF. Haha!

I totally understand. No flow, whatsoever. ^^;;; Alot of my pictures can come out tensed up and stiff, and I -REALLY- don't know how to give it flow. Especially, ever since I started out just copying pictures, referencing and make pictures from memory for about 3 years (drawing for about 5). I started to use stick models this year, but I know I'm getting better. So, thank you for telling me that. =D

ProjectVirture: Kinda what I said above. I just started to use proportional models this year, so I'm not really good at it yet and I've been trying to teach myself. I will definetly take your suggestions. But thank you for the encouragement. I will get some more art up soon! ^.^-

You know what, for being a good sport about my criticism, I'll give you advice that works everytime. Think of what you wanna draw, alright? Really think it through. Then, find a song that you think best represents what you're doodling. Put the song on repeat, and then begin sketching your idea in. That's what I do when I need to add some flow. Oh, and don't forget to kinda put yourself in the picture.

They look innocent, although you need work, i know you're going to get alot better. Keep up the good work, and i look forward to more pictures from you.

Those are awesome how many years have you worked with color? I cannot cooperate with color x_x

Those are awesome. Can you give me some tips on shading and coloring? I can't do it as well, so I usually don't color mine.

Aww kawaii drawings ^^ yay! neko!

As for the coloring, I learned how to color like that from a tutorial.

I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with coloring! ^_^- And also, having prismas.

Weee I got something newer up now! <3 This is one of my recent favorites. The picture is a fan character from Tokyo Mew Mew. It was an Art Trade I had with someone on theotaku.com. Character nnnnot mine! XD Enjoy everyone! ^^-
