This is the first time I used the critique feature, so sorry if there is any typos and grammar mistakes e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/f… " width="18" height="18" alt="" title="Fear"/>

First of all, I love all the details in this drawing e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/e… " width="18" height="15" alt="" title=" by darkmoon3636"/> Especially the flowers on the bottom right and I can see how much effort you had put on this piece. And as usual, I think there are parts that can be improved too. In my opinion, the face anatomy need to work out more. The eyes, nose and mouth are a bit weird to me. There are a lot of tutorials on how to draw face anatomy and I suggested to practice on the basic more.

Secondly, is the hair. I think I had mentioned this before. You can reference some Arina Tanemura artworks (or other mangaka) and see how she draw the hair details. The character hair is long and beautiful. But it does not flow smoothly with the character. Take this: [link] and [link] for example and compared to this piece. In this drawing, to me the hair looks like it has been pull to one place and the other one to other (sorry, for my English :'D)

Finally, this is a great piece. But it need more improvement. I hope this critique helps. I spent like 15 minutes to write this first critique ever. Never thought it would be that hard.

(Okay, now you can punch me e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="30" height="30" alt="" title="Stupid Me!"/>)

For your first critique it is greato_O and I get what you mean, first time I wrote one took me some time, too

Thank you so much for this critique! It is exactly what I was expecting for
Indeed, you are right about the hairo_O I will take more references when it comes to that, thanks for the links and tipsC: and when it comes to face, well, I do practice a lot but I'll tell you sometimes it looks good sometimes not. But oh well, I will try to work even more on this.

I won't punch you, this is what I needed thank you

You are welcome Kinda nervous with this critique feature I don't want to write text which is too long :V Because I just saw one before and wth, the critique took half of the deviation page. :U

Ah, yes the link. Glad I found a few Well, the face anatomy is sometimes hard to draw. I still having a hard time to draw a balance eyes. Something one turn out big the other turn out small I guess both of us still need to work out after all Even though I'm the first mentioned about 'more practice'

interestin'~~~ :3 but first i agree to silver-moonnight~

1) the hair does need to thin out more and more flowy (sorry, >_<**)
2) the anatomy's not bad but...could still use some work/practice~
3) the face needs a little work, but its all good~ :3

overall, i'm impressed!~ :3 i like it~ :3 <3

Wow, the details are great! It'll look amazing coloured.

Umm, I guess one thing I would say is that the part around her left knee looks a bit odd ... like maybe the thigh should be a bit wider, because it looks the same kind of width as the lower leg. I may be wrong here though, as I'm no expert at anatomy.
