Critique/ pricing!
- Thread starter Locket
- Start date
i like it, but i think the head needs some work. it kind of looks weird with the curve. i'd price them at 20-30 tbt. i personally think you need more practice.
the one you did for maxibear is pretty good though, i'd price it at 40-50 tbt.

I agree with Kianli. They're cute, but the heads have a slightly odd shape to them. I love the eyes though!

I made this for kianli, how does this look?
Much better! The hair looks great and the coloured lineart is a nice touch!
Just a few though:
-The eyes are a bit to close to together. You should be able to fit the width of a third eye in between the eyes, but also when you have really large eyes like this, it's ok if the gap is slighty smaller than that.
-The head is slighty too big...? For the size of the face, anyway. I'd either make the head smaller or make the face alrger and further up the head. (or both). I made [ this ] to show you what I mean. (sorry it looks terrible)
- Keep working on your shading and clothing! I know it takes a while to get the hang of everything, so just keep at it!
Hope this helps a bit!
I just did flat colors so it has no shading.
and that example looks freaky though... no offense but it just kinds does.

I know, I was just speaking generally, like with your previous examples.
And I may have put the eyes a little too far apart, [ this ] is better

That's a bit rude to say when someone is offering their opinions and even going out of their way to help a bit with proportions. You did ask for critique and I believe Cherry provided quite a nice amount of helpful tips to consider! The head shape does seem off to me, but I think it could be fixed a bit if you moved the face (eyes/mouth/nose) a little higher up instead of nearing down at the chin. Placement can make a big difference!
I like doing flat colors too, but knowing how to shade is important as well -- I still have a hard time doing this tbh but practicing comes a long way! I suggest using and experimenting with complementary colors; try to avoid using a darker shade of the same color as it may look bland compared to using different colors to make it stand out a bit more! Don't be afraid to experiment with colors!

As for pricing, I'd say a chibi about 100-200 TBT (more depending on extra details, etc) but I would suggest to practice a bit more!
Nice work so far -- remember to take breaks every once in awhile and have fun with your art! Hope I helped a bit at the least

I actually really like how far apart the eyes are in Cherrys first example. It has a slight charm to it and reminds me of characters with slightly droopy eyes.
Anyway, same criticism as the others said. The head shape on your 3rd example is already a lot better, but please remember to keep at it. It can take quite a while to get good at art, so don't give up.
One thing I noticed about your art is the fact that you often make the head a bit too tall? I'm not an artist but it slightly looks off to me? In the third example it's not as bad, but maybe it's just the fact how low the face is? i dunno m9

(I meant no offense, if you took that as rude! And as for the first bit, I just thought you were directing it at that piece)
I might put them a bit closer when I do draw, but it also might just be because I made the skin lines too light. Because it does appear as it doesn't have a nose (but then again I don't wear my glasses that often)

I really meant no offense to her I just sometimes come off as rude when I try to state stuff ^^;
Also, I can't view that because you need a plugin
It might be like how I place the hair, because the hair is farther up than the head, so that might be a factor. I am trying to get anatomy and poses correct and other stuff.

I think your coloring is very good so far! The way you shade the eyes in Maxi's example is great and the hair shading for kianli's looks really good. I do agree spacing out the eyes goes a long way.
I would recommend working on proportions. I noticed your heads all look more square-like so it makes the chibis look awkward. Maybe try using a compass ruler or a circle shape and then line that to get the hang of drawing circles? I think once the heads are fixed, it'll make your art stand out more. As for prixing, I think 40-50 TBT is a good range. Good luck!
