Work in Progress.

Whilst I really like this, I cant help but feel the legs look too stubby/manly (it may just be the angle). Other than that, awesome!


I'd post what I've been trying to work on for someone else for the past 6hrs, but we'll leave that embarrassment for another time. :P

It seems to improve on it, I'll need to thin out all the lines, theyre too chunky.

Those're some mighty fine legs. You've used a lot of colors there, I like how you apply it, not many people use a lot of darker tones like you. The legs are my favorite part, please don't change them! Your facial work is superb too.

DRMARIO, I think you're drawing with line too much. You can tell where you've used a lot of line, but it's supposed to be soft. You can save that easily though. The background is confusing me too, there is water, right?

I like the legs, very much.

It's a girl, she should have girl legs.

I can't, at all, see where you're coming from about the line thing. Everything is the way I want it, so far.

...and there is no background yet, so I don't know what you're talking about.

The legs look fine as is, same with the sneakers. The lower body overall looks slightly over-sized compared to Sakura's whole upper body, Transform tool in Photoshop can fix that. The collar of her sera fuku looks rather odd though, the shading I mean.

Overall, it's a nice job there.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll take them into consideration.

I think he's talking about that large mass in the background...wondering if it's supposed to be water.

I don't know what you're getting at with the shading, but I'll note it.

[Brawny]

Any chance of posting minus clothes layer?

It looks flat.

Oh, that. Yeah I'm aware of that. I guess I should have noted that I'm intentionally not done with shading yet (This is a WIP, after all). I also still have to apply some outlines and such. Regardless, it is noted and I appreciate your input.

LOL. People actually read my less-significant posts now?

Although your motives for asking are...typical, yes, there's a chance, but there's no chance that I will show the layer without being slightly modified to prevent too much "distraction". =P

The reason is that I'm mulling over posting a layer-by-layer version when I get done with it...just because working from the ground up was something I've never done, yet turned out being incredibly successful for me (Before I did the method, this picture was looking downright horrible).

[DRMARIO]

Pretty much finished this one.

EDIT:
In fact, I just realised I didn't finish the track marks, where it looks like a vehicle's passed through the snow. I'll do that.

[Bodine]

Very nice Dr. The shadows though seem... off? Eh, I'm not quite sure how to put it but nice job all around

[DRMARIO]

All shadows follow the shape of the land.
I don't understand what you could mean.

[Bio]

The shadows look good to me.

Nicely done, DR.MARIO. The man isn't flat anymore.

[Bodine]

Then maybe it's just me. :/
But like I said I really like it.

[Gikoku Harakami]

I agree, the shadows do look fine.. though the one in lower right corner looks like it's not fully attached to the tree.

Good job, Jack.

I see what you mean:P
I'll do some final tweaks when I have time - I still have three more pieces to finish by tuesday D:

I need to stop leaving things so late.

EDIT:

I've just finished one more piece. It's nothing amazing, just a little piece. It all adds up for my coursework, I suppose.

[Frogger]

Your first one. Hm, you do a tiny bit of light on the side of everything you draw - but you're probably going to argue with me that it's exactly how it should look like. Other thing is you're drawing out lines for definition, like a shock horror, cartoon. REALISTIC PEOPLE DON'T HAVE EDGES. You never seen to know what I'm getting at here either.

I love the second one. Much love to the trees.

[DRMARIO]

Show me these lines, and I'll fix them =)

[Sixty]

I think he means the collar, the face and the creases on the sleeves. There's a few on the trees, nothing I'd pick at though.
