Description
My first real attempt to draw something lineless XD I think it turned out quite well ^^What do you think? Any suggestions to improve my lineless art? I'm open for critiques
The premium content includes the original file, a flat color version and another not shaded version, but with galaxy hair
It's just a nice way to support your favorite artist and getting some WIP files in return

Okay, let me start by saying the overall view is absolutely amazing! You open this picture and you're immediately stunned by the colors and the overall appearance of Luna. That's why I put five stars in "Impact". I think the eye plays a major role in stunning the viewer: the iris is extremely detailed, and the light reflexes are on point. All of this, together with the contrast created by the lighter color of the eye with everything else, attracts the attention of the viewer towards that point of the drawing.
Now, originality: even though you see quite a number of headshot portraits of Princess Luna on the site, I do appreciate the fact that you re-interpreted her colors (like the slightly more grayish blue in her body and the definitely more "purpleish" blue in her mane e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Technique: simply fantastic! The shading is consistent with the light source and comes near to realism, both on body and on mane. Talking of which, I really like the random, yet pretty balanced distribution of the stars in it: there's neither "too many in one place" nor "equally distanced stars", just like a night sky should be.
I just have a small criticism to make: I believe there shouldn't be that much of a contrast where her horn disappears into her mane. In my opinion, that area should be slightly more blurred, with some of the mane's color overlapping her horn, since I believe her mane to be very "dense" and material.
As for the vision, I believe there's no negative criticism to make: you wanted to create a lineless drawing that could do justice to the beautiful ruler of the night, and here we have a portrait where the lineless technique is perfect and makes Luna look regally beautiful! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Very well done, keep up the good work! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

You're right about the part where the horn and the mane meet, thank you for telling me ^^
I will keep your points in mind when I draw the next time

hi, I'm here for the CCC
I have a few suggestions for you to improve
concerning the colouring: edges! for now all of your shading is soft, but you're missing on the sharper shadows
I know Istebrak always talks about them, so I'll try to find a good video: youtu.be/CHuCI9J4pOo
concerning the eye: I think the white is still too white considering the very dark scene you chose.
There is a square reflection in the character's eyes, those usually come from windows (I remember it from the still lives I had to paint when I was a kid), but I don't think there is a bright window/screen somewhere near the character
if we look at this image, we can notice that the model's eyes are barely visible, and she's quite well lit:
Plus your character has her face shaded by her mane, which should give her the mysterious look where you can't see the eyes at all.
You can choose to make her eyes glow of magic if you want the blue to be seen, but then you'll have to paint the glow, and add blue reflects on all neighbouring objects such as her mane.
I hope that helps ^^
(am I ok to not point out the positives, because, I think that just the fact that you made it and even more, submitted it to the ccc, makes it and you amazing!!!! and yeah, keep it up!!!)

Wow! Oh my gosh, I was actually speechless for a moment!
No wonder this got so many faves in such little time and got trending, it's fantastic!! 
I was wondering, do you think I could try and write a critique on this piece?
I've never written a critique before, but I'd like to give it a try :3
