    This is her when she was young. ^-^ I'd kinda like to give this to Wavewhisper, even though I'm 99% sure she doesn't remember me... XD; I hope she likes it... >.>;

    This is probably one of my best drawings yet! :D I'm really proud of it, too, so if it's extremely n00bish, please don't crush my dreams into little bite-sized pieces and eat them... ;_;

    Yes, I know that there are chunks of mistakes in here, but I think I hid them well enough so that they don't STICK OUT LIKE A FRICKIN' SORE THUMB!

    .............

    I made her hair extra long, cuz I like drawing long hair. =3 Her hair was especially fun to draw! =D

    Okay, I'll stop rambling now... CnC?

    Good job!

    I see a flaw... Her left eye (On her left) is thinner than her right eye.


    But other than that, it's awesome!

    Her hair doesn't really look like, well, hair I guess. I know it's the style in KH to give the characters exaggeration in this field, but I think it's a bit overdone, especially for a femmy character like Namine. The shape of her face is really off set, but you can call that style I suppose...I don't know. I've always thought some styles are just a bit over the top and account for lack of talent in anatomy. The random shine on her hair could be trashed. It looks more like a lightening bolt, than actual lighting effects. I'd suggest giving her some eyelashes, because as of now she looks more or less like /cm/ material since she lacks bust and hips.

    Also, I know you were trying to be realistic with the collar bone, but loli aged girls don't show protruding collar bones like how you've shown it here. Make a little definition to the general sides, but don't show the scoop because that starts mixing anatomy with older men. The wrinkles are kind of random looking. They don't really come in correspondence to her position. Google some images of little girls and take that as reference as to how clothing behaves in simple stances like this.

    The lineart is very clean though, and although the shading is necessarily accurate, it helps the piece since it lacks content.

    Well... it's cute. =3

    But I agree with Alice. Her colarbone looks... as if it's smiling at me. O_o
    The shine does look like a lightening bolt and wrinkles very random-ish.

    I like the shading; it's nicely done.

    ... But who is me to judge. I have no artist talent.

    It's quality, but the overall style itself could use improvement and general detail enhancements.

    OMFG IT DOES. XD

    Actually, I was trying to copy that collar bone thing from a manga I once read, but I guess it ain't workin' out for me. XD;

    .................

    It DOES!!! XDDDDD

    I TOLD my sister that stupid shine would look stupid, but she was all, "Well, it doesn't look formal unless you put a shine there." so I put it there. XD;

    (Note to self: Never listen to sister again.)

    I got carried away with the shading. It was basically an experiment. But thanks for taking the time to critisise! =D

    Alice: Yeah, I could use a LOT of help with my style... right now, it's basically some kinda random blend of all the ones I've seen so far. XD; It's usually all over the place, but I'm trying to fix it.

    Thanks for the critisism! ^-^ Now I can get better. =3

    Oh yeah... It's supposed to look like she's leaning foreward, too..

    How teh fawk do I get that effect?! XD; I just can't DO et! DX

    Most animu styles insert a shine similar to yours, but it's even and doesn't start our as...I can't think of a word...'chunky' as the one you used. It usually also corresponds with the way the hair falls over the forehead as well.

    It's much better than ripping a style. :3

    Perspective, persective...

    Right now I'd focus on just anatomy before attempting that kind of thing.

    Anatomy > shading > angles > forced perspective > coloring

    Also, try to draw from real life. The reason why I don't have as much trouble as I use to with anatomy is due to the fact that I drew all realism before I did animu style. It helps greatly, and for once, /ic/ is right. >3>

    I was thinking the same face, when I noticed it.
    It looks "^_^" but it could almost be a tad bit "~_~" or a touch of ">_<".


    I look forward to that pic.
