WHY SO SHINY KIKI

Shiny Desu indeed w@

Ok, all jokes aside, I think this was done really well - especially because I know you do a lot of your work on paint and the canvas size you chose is quite an accomplishment. *nodnod*

Here are my negatives, before I give you postives:
1. Slow down. It was a HUGE risk to draw something on a 3000 x 3000 canvas.... very impressive even!!! However, i think that if you're going to take the risk to draw something so huge, you should take the time to really slow down and draw things the way you want them too. Its not a race <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

2. Maybe try drawing on a smaller canvas size. You ended up shrinking this down anyways, don't bite off a piece larger than you can chew.

3. The background looks extremely rushed. I think part of the problem here might be that the canvas size was so huge, it might of been a space problem to try to even cover the whole picture. It's just a very odd feelsing because kiki - you can TELL - had so much time spent on her, and it feels like she was almost plopped in to this awkward background setting. My suggestion for this wouldbe to sketch out the background, and work it up from sketch, to line art, to coloring underneath. Or, if you don't want that coloring book kinf od feel, sketch, and then build it up with layers over layers. The background is a good start, but I feel like with some more lines / time it would be even more polished.

4. The lighting bugs me here and there. On some places it is absolutely spectacular, but in someplaces ywhere you have highlighted, it doesn't seem quite right. Just be careful ^^

5. Her eyes REALLY bug me. >_<; They're done nicely, but it just looks like she is staring off in to space... o_o trying.... to stare deep.... inside your soul.... and that she's going to EAT YOUR SOUL ;A; !!!!! Just be careful when drawing the pupil / direction in which your character is looking at.

6. Lastly... I promise o@;;; The line art looks a bit effortless. which is good sometimes, but, the coloring job on Kiki is so well done and had lots of effot put in to it, that its almost distracting that the line art is so faint or incorrect in some places (Ie. Where the skirt goes over her waist) Line art in some places is fantastic - like her legs - but in some places it's too thin for my taste and its distracting me from the awesome coloring job o@

OK SO.... no more negative XD

1. Some of the lighting on this IS spectacular so I did want to mention that. Skin is amazing, and the boobies in particular. Some of the lighting is a tad off, but what you did accomplish.... especially on her shirt is really great. I love the purple tones you've worked in to your piece, it gives it a really nice touch.
2. As I stated before, a 3000x3000 canvas is really quite the challenge. I, personally, am afraid to do anything above and beyond 800x800. So really, good job for getting something so huge to be finished. I think a lot of people are too intimidated to even try something as large as that, so, at the end of the day I would feel good about being able to even finish.
3. I really love the coloring job on the skin - a lot. Some places could use a little work, however, I think it'll become easier with the study of anatomy which you'll get over time. The shading on the skin though seems to be right on point, which can be tricky - but you pulled it off well.
4. Finally, I like the girl's outfit. ;x I'm always picky about what people are wearing. hehe <3


;;;OTL I'm sorry I fail at critiqueing!! Overall nicely done, Cookie ^o^
