It's just a suggestion.
Regarding the coloring; I think your background got an upgrade but the shading on the character is a little bit odd, shadows on some parts but not on the other. For example, there's shadows under the cheek and arms, but not under her breasts.
I'm sorry if you don't want constructive criticism, so tell me if you don't want any.  |
Well, technically, if I didn't want criticism, I wouldn't have posted the thread.
Anywho, question one about the sketching tech: I use a bunch of circles for a skeleton, though most of the time I don't even stay within it's bounds. ^^; I think I have a good example of that in one of the pics I did... Ah here we go (attached image). As you might be able to see, the skeleton does kinda match, but not by much (in fact I had to shrink the skeleton down because a lot of times the height of characters I sketch are much taller then I had intended, so I shrink them down a bit after I sketch their body shape in). I prefer to go and freestyle whenever possible, because its just more fun for me to do. :3
On character shading: Yeah, I wanted to work more on the backgrounds then the characters color. The random light sources and whatnot make it look off. ^^; I'll try and do a nice character and background color job as soon as I can.
...come to think of it, I don't think I've ever done a colored version of just regular TGed me.
[edit] Whoops, might help if I press 'upload' after browsing for the image... ^^; [/edit]
