Description
A pirate during a duel.2H, 2B, 4B pencils + Gimp 2.2 (no tablet, only mouse so don't curse me, please!).
------------------------------------------
And now - I decided that it will be my small gift for . Why? Not only because she has outstanding gallery and I simply love her works. It's just because her pictures arouses good feelings in me and they help me to brace myself up and start working on my story.
Thank you, Hito
The character above isn't Karelle or anyone from Hito's story. Just a duelling pirate
But yes, inspired by the Karelle's pictures series First version - or even a sketch - full of mistakes is hidden here [link]
--------------------
Maybe I'll correct it third time when I get my Tablet. So don't kill me till that day!

I love her hair and colouring. You're very skillful, great work!
My only point of critique is her where the line of the eye patch is going. I think it should be a bit lower. If it's too high up it's not gonna hold around the head.

It is not a dagger

Gimp is a programme such as Painter or Photoshop. But it's indescribably worse than them.

Thanks for requesting a critique!
The first thing I noticed about this picture was her expression. Her eyes look really intense, and definitely say “come and fight!” 
You’ve chosen a difficult style in this piece. You haven’t added a background (which, despite what just about everyone tells you, is not always necessary) so your subject must hold the attention of the viewer on its own. There are several ways to do this, and I hope to give you a couple hints to give your character more depth so it can stand alone.
The first detail is the hair. I looked at the line work and you have a pretty good idea going, but I think layering the color on top made it harder to see the detail that you put into it. Also, try defining your hair with more shadow and fewer lines. This will add more depth as well. Another area of interest is the light source. You have the light coming strongly from the upper right on the face, shirt, sword and hand, but the light seems to come from the front, top and right on the hair. Also, the light seems to be a brown or golden color, whereas the highlights on the hair are white. Since her hair is brown, golden highlights would match perfectly. To make your hair seem looser, or tousled as if she has been fighting, you can add loose strands around the face and outside of the contour of the bulk of the hair as well. Here is an example of how I imagine her hair looking in real life: [link] This hairstyle is very simple, but to give your drawing even more interest, you could add waves or curls like this [link] which, of course, is up to you.
I mentioned lighting before, and I think with proper lighting this drawing will really stand out. I noticed that you changed the shadow behind her from the sketch to this version, but I think you had it right the first time. In this drawing, the shadow is to her right, where it should be to the lower left if the light is coming from the upper right. Also, the rapier is almost perfect, but the highlight should be rotated to the upper right. This way, the highlight will be in line with the shadow (which you drew amazingly!). Similarly, the shading extends a little too far on the left side of her hand. With the shadows so far in to her palm, her hand looks a bit flat. There is a fleshy mound on the outer side of the hand that would also be in highlight. Aside from those few things, you have a great grasp on lighting. I challenge you then to try some more dynamic lighting techniques. Here [link] is a good example of backlighting. Notice on her legs, her…rear end (wow I hope this isn’t offensive to you! 
This is a great picture and I hope you found this helpful. Good luck, and thanks again!

Thank you! I really appreciate such a comments.
Actually, I was going to "fix" this picture cause it has only one layer and I've done it in one hour. When I get a tablet, I'll do that for sure with your tips in front of me
Now I have only tirinig mouse.

Niewspółmiernie zajebiste!
Cieniowanie i kolorowanie świetne, najwyżej do włosów bym się przyczepił za brak połysku ale piraci chyba niezbyt często się myją?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wiesz, jak wreszcie dostanę tablet, to prawdopodobnie dorwę się do włosów, tła i bluzki, bo myszką to ja sobie w pasjansa mogę pograć
I tak ledwo cieniowanie zrobiłam

Łohohoho, dałaś czadu Fri! Twarz jest super super super, zaś mogłabym się przyczepić do rąk, ale sama jestem kaleką pod względem perspektywy, więc nie będę się tu wymądrzać, ogólnie fajne jest to, jak zrobiłaś myszą te kolory i cieniowanie ^^

Dziękuję, dziękuję
Co do ręki - dłoń jest po prostu trochę mała, miałam ją poprawić, ale szkoda mi ładnego cienia, jaki wyszedł był spod myszy

i think you did a good job with the hairand the shading and coloring on the face is great. but i think that the front arm is a little hard to determine as an arm. still, nice piece

Beautiful work! I love the detail on the cheekbones. Something I never do. Which is why I can't draw humans, lol.
Anyways, I love the detail in the hair, and you did a great job on the hand. Good job with the expression too!

Ogólnie zajebiaszcze.
Przyczepię się do nosa, który jest haczykowaty (a chyba nie miał być?) tzn że powinnaś go "podnieść" końcówkę się znaczy 
Ale wydaje mi się że zrobiłaś za małe usta.
I ostatnie czego się czepię to prawa ręka, która jest za krótka i nienaturalnie się wygięła do tyłu. Normalny człowiek by tak nie zrobił
A teraz plusy
Przede wszystkim plus za cienie! I za włosy które są moim wiecznym utrapieniem. Plus tez za przemyślne zrobienie szabli
