Description
I'm a tad late to the keyhole turtleneck fad, excuse meBut exercising Nimi's physique is rather fascinating if I think about it. Where most of my other girls are rather tall and slim, I have this idea of Nimi being shorter and slightly plumper (it probably doesn't show in this picture). So I was inspired by some awesome turtleneck picture I found and (finally) implemented the famous cloth into my arts. If the right pigtail looks weird, it was me trying to fix it after realizing that I've been drawing it wrong all this time
I also apologize for taking those longer or shorter breaks between pictures, I'm quite lazy and I have yet to work on consistency

that creative, you have imagination for this type of work

To me it's a rather simple idea, I don't think it needs a lot of creativity as a lot of people have done it. But thanks

I really like your linework in this piece. There's some nice thin lines in the shirt that give details with some bold lines around the main character. I think varying your line weight even more throughout will really make your work pop! Give just a little bolder lines maybe at the back of the shoulder, bottom of the sweater, back of the legs. Things like that.
For the style you went with, I like the design of this character. Her pose looks a little unnatural to my eye. I see that you want the arm to across her belly and hold the other arm, but right now that back arm is too far back for the perspective on her arm to work. I think to make it work, you would need to change the perspective of the arm in the front a little. Rotate the upper arm a little counter-clockwise at the shoulder so it is coming forwards more, then give the cuff of the arm a bit more of a curve outward like a backward C. This will make it look like the arm is angled away from the viewer a little. Now, physically, take your hand and put it on your other arm and try to look at it at the same angle you have on this picture. You will see that the hand has more of a curve or hump to it at the middle knuckle and that your had is at least a thumb width thick or so. Try giving that hand in your picture those attributes to make it really look like it is sitting on that other arm and not tucked in between the arm and the body.
One last thing, I'm unsure if the legs are pants or if she is only wearing the sweater. If it's pants, I would say give them even a slightly different grey tone if anything to help distinguish them from the character's skin. If she isn't wearing anything, I would say to maybe give a hint that it's her skin somehow. Maybe some underwear peaking out or something like that. Not sure exactly, it just looks a little unclear as it is right now.
You do a great job with your cell shading and line work! By no means is this picture bad, I think these little anatomy things will help you to give even more convincing stances and compositions! Great job!

Aww she's so cute! (I did the keyhole sweater haha) I love her color palette too! Very nice!

She's a very pretty woman for sure

Thank you
She is physically 16 though (in reality she's much older than that, as she's a vampire), so maybe young woman is more fitting?

You're right xD
I also have a vampire character who looks 19 but is around 140 years old x)

And guess what, I might draw her sometime

...oh my. Are you talking about Nimi? If you do, then I'm sure she's going to be absolutely mindblowing in your style

Exactly

I don't know what to say, that's just... so super nice of you

She actually is. She's not one to show her body off, for sure
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think this is something both my characters and yours got in common!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's one of the few who don't, however I have some who do love to do that as well

Anya, and uhh... Vicki too, I guess. And one that I haven't showed yet, called Tempest

You should make a drawing with all of your characters!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have planned to, many times. It's going to be very hard though, because it'll take a lot of time, and I don't know how I'll commit myself to it without losing interest

How many characters you have?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I haven't counted them, but there's got to be at least 10 as far as I can tell
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh.I have about 40 (there's a drawing with all of them I made one year ago) but meanwhile I added some new ones.But I mostly use only 7-8 of them.Try "filtering" some too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have already filtered them. I only draw a handful of them, while some of them are one-offs or something, and some are just ideas, they haven't even been given an appearance. I'm trying to give attention to as many characters as I can, however no matter how many I'll choose to draw, it'll still take me a lot of time

Good luck with everything:for example, I might draw a couple of my characters, but sort them by a condition (hair, gender, etc.)
Also, practice is the key!
