wow that's so good ;A;
I especially like the chibi you're working on
I think the eyes are great as they are
do you do commissions on here?
 
the chibi mayor is looking very cute :))) one thing though is to avoid shading clothing folds (sometimes hair too but the hair here looks fine) with a soft brush; you're better off with a hard brush that fades with less pen pressure (hopefully this makes sense >.<)
 
Those look really nice~ I love the way you shaded the cheeb's hair, particularly, nice and shiny!

WAA <3 thank you~~ haha im sort of stuck in this shiny style for the face and hair and when i get to the clothes i'm just like ... WHAT I DO .____.

aww thanks! Erm, i've just started drawing, digital especially, so i haven't thought about comms. though, i've had some inquiries so i'm considering doing a couple by request maybe? but, these take me a loooonggg time T____T

:eek: waaa, you can tell i used a soft brush? proooo. lol, yea i've been using the airbrush for the hair and face and that seems to be working, but when i get to the clothes it's pretty bleh. i'll keep that in mind! thank you~~

Ohmygoshh!! You did my mayor! (〃▽〃) ~
She looks so good! I LOVE how you did her face! Her eyes are beautiful & her cheeks are so cuteee!~
Ahaha, I don't mind the shoes! I think it all looks amazing! Thank you so muuchhh!! ღ
 
Lovely new piece!

For the clothing, what I would recommend (apart from using a hardbrush instead of the airbrush like ssvv suggested for definition, which is an A+ suggestion imo) is looking up a bunch of different styles of cloth and looking closely at how they all fold and how the light captures them. You could even use your own clothes as reference for this. I really think it's all a matter of observing the world and remembering how each fabric and texture would work in real life when trying to shade your drawings. It also helps thinking of how a body bends underneath those folds!

I'm probably not being helpful at all orz I'm sorry. There are also a bunch of tutorials on how to shade clothes on dA? When in doubt, always look up reference pictures.

nono, u're plenty helpful. thank you!

i figure i just need to spend some time watching people color and looking at clothes... i've just been avoiding it cause... im lazy... heh. also, the coloring styles i typically gravitate to are more complicated than anything i can ever manage right now. need to find a good starting point @__@
