Help me with my big project, please ; v ; edited lineart

[Keitara]

Hello museum!
I am working on a "big project" atm, it's a chibi but I want it to show my *cough* abilities *cough* to the fullest which I can proudly display as an example for RLC commissions somewhen. I really put a lot of work into it, basically most of my free time for this whole week long.

I finished the lineart and before I go on with coloring, I wanted to ask if you have some nice coloring tutorials which you would recommend to me as I am trying to improve not only my lineart, but my coloring too and if you notice any mistakes or anything ugly T_T on the lineart, or if you have any tips/other constructive criticsm and opinions, please tell me, thank you for your cooperation!! ; v ;

for an overall view since the file is big: [x]

UPDATED LINEART!!!
Hopefully fixed the right arm's position, made some slight changes here and there, deleted the comic-like features like bubble etc, added some more details, fixed the neckkerchief.

oh gosh, I just had the same feeling as when I get my math exam back and it says I have a good mark, I'M FEELING SO RELIEVED ; v ; thank youu so much T_T it was made possible because of your help

one thing i will note for now is watch the placement of her arms and the way the kerchief wraps around her shoulders can be a bit more natural

i can def tell that you've put in a lot of efforts into it <3

I see that the right side of the kerchief looks a bit strange, I'll try to change it. As for the wrapping around the shoulders, idk I've never seen someone running around with a kerchief like that pfffffff
I'll try searching for some references to fix it.
mmmmmmh I watched the placement of the arms but I don't understand '-'

ah wait the right arm is probably too much on the left side?

yes...because your arms are reaching forward, they would be in front of your body as compared to being on the side doing a quick line for you too

when you're done you should post this on ardrey's profile and tell her to sell her soul to you muahaha

 

[tinyfire]

No critique I can think of, just wanted to tell you that this looks incredible so far!

 

[ssvv227]

hopefully this is a bit more helpful ^^ you can also raise the upper body and her legs a bit so she looks a bit more leaning forward

alright, thank you!! This is very helpful
You're not butchering anything! haha
Gonna work on the retouch tomorrow, I'm too tired now since it's 1:30 am
oh and what did you actually mean with ardrey earlier? o-o

 

[Keitara]

bumpoo
still searching for color tutorials, I'd like to try out many different things to find what's most comfortable for me ;;
I'll update the lineart in the evening, I've got a stupid school festival in 2 hours >-<

 

[zeoli]

The only ones I have stored away are for realism @u@

Thank you tuna ; v ;

I sadly wasn't able to retouch the lines today, I worked on ardrey's auction piece instead ;; hopefully tomorrow...

I'm honestly having a hard time finding tutorials because I like your coloring style already? I found your art dump thread and it was just like "why are they asking for help when they're already amazing at it" xD

 

[Kirindrake]

Absolutely adorable! ;w; Her hair is so pretty and her outfit and... ahhh! <3 <3 <3

Here's a coloring tutorial I found on Youtube! [x] It's long, buuut... QQ If you have time, I guess. Ofc I know there are more ways to colour, or if you wanted I could even show you how I colour my own chibis or just colouring in general with an image tutorial ^^; your choice tho.

haha believe me there are people here which are thousand times better than me and they WILL find things that are not right or could be better no matter what I do xD
And thank you for trying to help me! You're so nice
The problem for me is I have no system for coloring, it just turns out somehow and this results in sometimes good and sometimes bad coloring, but I want it to be constantly good haha
