The first one about 500-800TBT, the icon maybe 50-150 TBT :)
Just a person with no background should be 150-400TBT
 
I can't help with prices but I can give you some critique on the anatomy, since that's what I notice first.

The head is disproportionate to the body, looking a little too big- part of the reason this appearance is given is because the shoulders are very narrow. Even turned to the side as she is, there's no indication of a collar bone. Her arms are just sort of stuck to her sides, like a doll. The arms are also noticeably long (as a rule of thumb hands will generally rest just at the upper thigh when the arms are hanging loose.)

The torso is jarringly shapeless, even really thin people will still have the ridges of an abdomen, ribs, the bend of the waist. A visual:
it's nude but it's just a mannequin lol

I'm not sure if you do this already, but drawing the figure first before you draw the clothes really helps when it comes to anatomy. Don't be afraid to use lots of references, especially when you have a certain pose in mind. Anyway you're obviously improving as it is, these are just some thoughts. As a note, I like the hair and the coloring is nice.

Oh and for the icon I might recommend a slightly darker outline for the face - I couldn't see it at first so it looked like there was no chin. That could just be my screen though.

Thank you for your advice!
The face I always struggle with ;v; and the arms looked fine to me when I tested it-when I did the body shape sketch i rotated the arms and they seemed to be in the right place, but you know better then me!
I've actually never drawn a side view before hahaha. Thanks for the waist reference!

As for the icon, I agree it seemed too light.


Thanks again for your help!
 
youre definitely improving!! i actually really like this eye style <: your shading is getting better, too! zane already mentioned most things, theres just one question -- is that supposed to be a necklace? if so, it would go around her neck, not her upper back. it appears as if it goes under her arms, and it would normally be higher, at the base of her neck.

i suck at pricing, but good stuff! keep working at it :D
 
It looks nice omg! 10 hours of dedication too like what even. ;_;
I'm bad with pricing but I'm sure people would buy it for a good amount of tbt. :)

Thank you! I redid the colors so many times haha. The eye style is actually an old one of mine, but I abandoned it about 3 years ago hahahaaaaa rip.
Yes~ It is supposed to be a necklace, and I just noticed it doesn't fit properly!


Thank you again for your help!

Just a question, why are the eyebrows attached to the eyes? D:

The eyebrows aren't attached to their eyes, they're higher up where they belong. I think you've mistaken her eyelashes for eyebrows. Also the way you worded it was rather blunt and disrespectful (I know you probably didn't mean it) but just a heads up, she spent a lot of time into the pic (like ten hours, I'm not even that patient and seriously respect people who are so dedicated). So it would have been nice if you worded it better next time, like constructive criticism instead.

I'm sorry you've been so seriously offended by a simple question I had :rolleyes:
Calm down LOL
My question was serious though! I have never seen blonde eyelashes before that blend THAT much into the face, they LOOK like eyebrows. My question WASN't for you, maybe if your nose wasn't so far up her butt, you may have noticed :rolleyes:
I wasn't giving criticism in the first place.
It was a QUESTION

But if you want me too, by all means I will :D

First off, idgaf how long she spent on it and how YOU wouldn't have the patience. GOOD ON YOU EVVIE //CLAPS.
While I like the coloring IN the eye, the eyes should be more defined/outlined because looking at it - they blend in way to much with the skin. The eyelashes seem a bit off to me as I legitimately thought they were the eyebrows though after Miss Sassypants so nicely pointed out, they are next to the hairline. SORRY I didn't notice that sooner :c . I think the shading is done well as well as the clothes! She doesn't really have a mouth (don't worry boar1999, I see it! ) Seeing as how the dress looks great, I feel the necklace evvie would have no problem putting more detail in it, compared to the rest of the picture, it's very flat. I think I read in another comment, something about anatomy! So speaking of anatomy; where the characters pelvis is, doesn't math up with the legs, I think one of those posable people things you can get at a store would help with proportions better, just a suggestion :D


@Botari1999: Bye Felicia.

Gotta be honest here, you're actually being really rude to Botari1999. I understand she thought you might be rude, and I can tell that wasn't your intention, but you're calling her names, and saying she has her nose really far up her butt.

I'm gonna ignore the other things, and just respond to your feedback.

1.How do you know she wouldn't have the patience?
2. ahh....i forgot to color the schlera woops
3. The eyelashes can be blonde ^^"
4. She has kind a small mouth
5. I got lazy with the neclace TBH ;v; it was 10 pm
6. Not sure how it doesn't line up? ^^" I do have a drawing doll though so ^^
 
It looks good! The eyelashes do look a little thick, so maybe think them out a tiny bit. Also, it may be a stylistic thing, but if you're going to give her semi-thick thighs and chesty, the stomach needs a bit more shape to it. It seems a bit too flat. Other than that, the faces and coloring look awesome. I'd love to see you do some of my OC's!
