What are you saying!! It looks great! And the hair looks perfectly fine! How come you think you can't draw hair? o-O
Maybe it's personal reference, but I think you shouldn't draw the hair behind the eyes, as well as the eyebrows on the hair. It just looks wrong imo, idk >-< But I like the eyes in this one! Anatomy is pretty flawless as well!
For shading, may I ask what for a tool you use and which program?
And back my to my current WIP. I know the bg sucks and looks super amateur-like...

thank you but I see no improvement in the hair area for me v,v like the hair could be so much more detailed, and the way I draw it looks too simplistic. (Such as the hair in your drawing, its so much more detailed and realistic)
Haha I dunno, I see artists on dA draw it like that, so I just followed that. Maybe I'll try putting the eyes behind the hair, but personally I like the eyebrows on top (hehe idk)
Yeah you see, I'm not using sai xD Okay okay
I kinda.. Use an iPad, and use this app called procreate. & if it helps, it has selection tools and layers. I wish I could get sai but I can't afford a tablet that works with it ; v ;
edit: and as for the tool, I just use an airbrush tool

Sadly I've never heard of that program.
Maybe because the lines for the hair stop after the bangs end? Oh and you don't shade it the way I do (well, my wip there isn't shaded yet but anyway). The drawing generally lacks "recognizable" shadow. I have to search for a place where I can see shadow actually. But it should directly come into my eyes, if you know what I mean. Don't be afraid with shadow. More than less imo!
Tbh my hair-shading is pretty simplistic as well.
Lookie here:
That's how I color hair (or at least I try :x ) for my chibi styles. As you can see in step 3, the shadows are basically there where the lines are. The lines are the guidelines for the hair shadow. And don't forget to play with the hues if that's possible with your program.
Oh I see. If it's your personal style, then you should keep it c:
mmm. Sai works pretty good with vector curves and mouse as well. I've drawn like this for years. But it seems like it's just me DX
As for general shading, do you have tools like a brush or watertool which blend? Idk how airbrush works for that program, but in Sai it's not good for shading. It's ummm... it doesn't blend right.
As for clothing, well. It also depends on what clothing you draw. If drawing an usual trousers and a shirt, you can't really make it look fancy or so. I love drawing clothing based on a theme, as you can see in my wip it's 1001 nights.
In general, I recommend you to use the brush/watertool for shading if you have that and add MORE shadow, as well as light reflexes. If possible, play with layer modes, for example Luminocity, Overlay, Lumi & Shade, Multiply, Shade, Screen c:
And if you wanna go deeply into art stuff, save up for a decent tablet. A friend of mine has a cheap one non-Wacom one that seems to be just like my wacom intuos5 pro s, but when I watch her streaming, I can tell that hers is... well. not so good.

You really deserve a medal for helping me out with all of this hahaha CX
It's actually not a horrible program, but anyway- So by recognizable shadow, you're basically shading at a angle where the lines (line art like in pic 1) are. I see.. Sometimes I get confused and I shade on both sides, not just one side. (If you look at the pic of mine again, you'll see)
But that's very helpful actually! I'm not sure what you mean by hues though, nor do I know what they are. (I should probably Google it right?) Well there isn't a water or brush tool that blends, but there is a smudge tool. It kind of sucks though.. It blends colors pretty badly, like it becomes a mess! But yeah for the air brush it doesn't really mix colors, I just have to make sure the opacity of the brush is really low if I need to blend a .. Let's say lighter color on to a darker color.
You see, my program does have those layer modes and it comes with explanations but I don't understand them at all. It has like multiply, and shade, and everything... I just don't know how to use it at all!
Maybe! I'm still trying to see if I can get good first, if I do.. Then it'll be worth investing in

Finished lining a chibi comission.
I can feel myself improving, the hair on this one was so tedious.but rewarding
Someone help me.. I use a selection/ path tool to single out the hair and color it but it will take forever with this.
I used an app called procreate to make these, does anyone know a free program where I can color hair easily? (Without having to erase where it goes outside the lines, etc.)

haha we are working both on the same oc atm!
look here my lineart mock-up c:
the way you've drawn the hair is great!
looks way more authentic than mine ^^'
regarding a program, I can't help you. I always use the bucket to fill the sections and the detailed cleaning is basically by hand with the pen... takes forever as well :c

Haha omg! This is so cool... We're doing the same character omg!
Thank you so much though! It means so much ; v ;
Ah I see ;-; there's no escaping it then. I wish us both luck on coloring the dress (seems difficult)

Why is that name popping up again ;-;
GODHA PRABGOD ?!
Godha sounds kinda like buddha idk. let's use this.
So, Godha, you really don't need to feel insecure. You did a great and very detailed job on the hair. It's very authentic and looks exactly like on the ref.
The only things I would maaybe mention is that her chest is rather big (my drawing *cough cough* (tried to make her sexy and didn't know how, so extended the size of the chest OMG) and yours looks a bit flat. You could also adjust the eyes to her eye shape. It's more almond-shape-like, right? But these things are totally additionally. Looks fine as it is!! c:
And I would test out to place the eyes lower. I have that feeling that they're placed too high. But maybe just my imagination. Hopefully the critic is allowed ^^' If not, please just pretend nothing happened. Btw, feel free to give critic for my art as well c:
Uhh yeah..the dress... I would just try to blend it and try some textures on it (for the various colors), maybe crayon or so... but I don't know if you have these options. I have no idea how to make the earrings gold-bronze-like, though. Gonna play around with textures as well, I guess >-<

farewell, everyone
GODHA SOUNDS LIKE A RELIGIOUS FIGURE AND PRABGOD SOUNDS LIKE A HORROR MOVIE TITLE. I'm cool with Prabtrash.
Oh haha yeah I wasnt sure if I should've gave her large breasts or not because in my style of chibis, I make them all flat chested. (It's supposed to imitate a more younger/ childish chibi look since Chibis are tiny little cuties)
BUT OMG YOURE SO RIGHT. THE EYES DO LOOK HIGH.
Yeah, you see as a new artist on here.. I sometimes get confused if I should keep the style of the chibi exactly as it is in my samples. Like the eye shape.. I put the eyes how they are in my samples, so I didn't really try to adjust it to the actual facial features. I'm still confused on whether the person would want the style of my chibi more, or w.e. ://
But I love your critique, it helps me improve so much! I really don't have any for you.. Everything looks in place! (I suck at giving critiques anyway)
But that's a good idea. I'll experiment with the crayon, and some other brushes. (Also is it me, or was that chibi girl in the ref absolutley amazing.. That's some amazing art)

NO I ALREADY DECIDED TO USE GODHA. OR WOULD YOU PREFER KANEKIBOYFANGIRLSCREAMSFANGIRLLOVESTOKYOGHOULDIEHARDFAN?
if you want, you can call me LUFFYFANGIRLDIEHARDOTAKUONEPIECEISMYLIFEILOVEITFOREVERITSTHEBESTILOVEITFANGIRLSCREAMS.
Oh you have a point there. But what other choice is there so make a chibi look sexy instead of large breasts? I'm clueless (and probably pervy ahah (;-
Oh haha then it wasn't just my imagination. I'm glad I could help you ^^
In this cases, I'd always just ask. I send mockups for every step anyways. Especially because this is my first RLC commission I'm a bit nervous /sweats heavily
Then I'm glad ^^ It happens to me often that proportions (mostly arms and hands) are a bit out of order and I don't notice it at all. Mockups help a lot to fix these before it's too late.
So you don't have textures in your program? Brushes and textures are very different things after all.
And yes, the hair is absolutely gorgeous. Tbh the only thing I maybe wouldn't like is the face because it's a bit.. too much. Extremely fat lips and so on. But that's probably just my personal taste. Everything looks superb though!
