I apologize if this comes out as harsh, but I'm gonna voice an opinion on it.
I would probably say around 30TBT each, and maybe 40TBT for full color. The lines do not connect in a lot of places, and they eyes look kinda...vacant. The color runs into the others a lot, so if you clean that up I would probably say more. The eyes seem a bit wide apart, and the lips are very large.
Keep trying, good luck!
 
I'm not sugarcoating this, so here is my thoughts on it. I honestly wouldn't buy this, no matter what the price was. Any price, right now, is way too much. You should really practice more before trying to sell these. Besides all the things MayorEvvie said, I would look into books/tutorial on anatomy since that will help improve on the proportions in the piece. I would also try out different poses as well since this looks very... boring. Not dynamic at all.

The hair look flat and one-dimensional, even with the shading you put in there. Which goes into my next point: you should look at coloring tutorials as the coloring as is, is very amateurish. I know you tried to put dimension on her face, but it looks more like dirt, rather than actual shadowing.

My question to you is that do you have a tablet? I ask since your lines are very harsh and the brush stokes have no sort of weight variance. It is definitely possible to make great art without a tablet, since you can simulate line weights, but coloring is definitely more of a challenge since the weight of your brush is constant.
 
Hello hunter c:
When I look at your lines, I'm sure you use some kind of line/curve or vector tool.
As I have drawn with curve tools before I had my tablet a lot, I think I can help you out with this! I have quite some experience drawing without tablet :D
If you don't mind, you could set up a stream and I'd help you while streaming? I think this will help more than just writing a blob of text here since I'll be able to observe you live and give tips instantly this way!
Coloring with curve tool or with mouse is possible as well.
Though I recommend cel shading with mouse, blending is possible too, but... the basics should be there first, right?
Let me know if you're interested, I am always there to help you with what I can :D

That being said, I think when you learned how to properly cel-shade and make lines, this would definitely look great!

Thank you, I'll try doing this later :) PM me with a nice time to stream, you're so nice :')

@Everyone else: Thank you for the harsh opinions, it's better than starting a thread and bumping for 10 pages straight >_<
