Title: [C+C] Character drawing
Post by: Janeator on January 24, 2015, 02:00:16 pm
So, I made this. It's supposed to be a character for that game of mine, which is actually not progressing as a game :) It's not supposed to be a sprite, I'm just having some fun drawing stuff.

Right now I consider it to be done, but since I am terrible at that, any thoughts about the feet or also the whole thing in general?

Quick thoughts, small feet and legs. I like the hair , nice shape and all, but the face. The direction of the face,(where she is looking) isn't the same with the direction of the hair. All i am saying make her look more left xD. Also, i believe she would look more awsome if her pants were wide with many folds and stuff. (Also maybe bigger boobs :y:)

Btw she looks great, good job! :)

I'm no anatomy expert but it seems to me the proportions are somewhat off. The hands and feet could definitely be bigger.

The colors are pleasant to look at, if a bit low contrast. You can also do more hue shifting on the color ramps to get a more dynamic palette. Good sense of light direction, and really nice clothes and hair design :y:

Thanks for the feedback :)

Yes, the proportions are somewhat off, that's mainly because of two reasons:

I don't exactly understand what'd be wrong with the hair - It looks alright to me. If that's what you're thinking, it's not supposed to be split in the middle. Maybe it looks that way because of the perspective? I think I did that right but please explain me why you think it's wrong :)

When you get critique, take it to heart. Answering that it's just a style thing and that you're not a pro feels like you're not trying hard to become better.

The hair seems fine to me too, but the hands and feet feel really tiny.

But I agree - sorry if it seemed that way. It just is true that those are the reasons why in that image proportions aren't fine - but hey, i'm working on that right now :)

So, here we go: Corrected proportions & position, added more darker shadows.
The feet are still horrible, I know. Hand turned out good somehow.
