The linework/anatomy is quite good. Im assuming you used a reference for those and that's fine.

One thing I noticed tho is you don't use enough dark shades where you should be. Try using much much darker colors and blending them into the other colors. If you move the blend tool from dark to light, it blends it fairly nice.


Edit: forgot to mention, when shading skin, use a red tint.

I agree, the anatomy and proportions look good, but they need a little more contrast. If you can put some darker shades into the shadows and get some light highlights, they'll be much more readable images. It's something I'm working on myself . You have a good base, they just need pushed a little further

 

[Mega_Cabbage]

Yes! More contrast! I would put more definition on the nose; I cold barely see it. They also seem to be turning more orangey? The skin tone for the bottom one is good, but the top two look too orange (unless you were going for that). Some eyelashes on the top and third one would be cool too.

Not necessarily red tint. When shading skin, use colours from whatever environment the character is in. Outside under the blue sky? Mix some grey-blue with a darker skin tone for accents. In a bedroom at sunset? Use more red, orange and purple tones in your shading.

But I definitely agree with using darker colours - don't be afraid to drift far from your original base colour.


This is a quick reference I had drawn up before regarding shading and blending (using SAI brush as examples), hopefully you can find it useful

Blur might work just fine.

 

[biibii]

they said not to use blur! bump!

 

[noizora]

Yea exactly, you should avoid the blur tool because it washes out the colours into an indecipherable mess and takes away the form of whatever you are colouring, making it look flat.

 

[biibii]

i need to find a new program ahh, unless you can download brushes on firealpaca? if you can ill find some blending somewhere
