Character Sprites (Posing/Color Practice)

[Rosier]

Making the mouth three wide seems like it makes them a bit derpy, but I see what you mean.


I didn't use the site, but freehanded this as practice.  The character is facing towards another one and saying something like, "Hey, over here!"
Both colors of shirt as practice, but I also tried to keep in line with his proportions.  He has the same proportions as the one above, but I think I might have made his chest too broad.

Looks MUCH better now, yeah! Good work!
I did notice one other thing though, I think you have a problem with torsos being a bit long or legs too short. legs are usually a bit longer than the torso and in most of the characters here that seems to be the inverse. It's most notable in small brown girl, these are doing pretty solid otherwise.

The problem is that I just really like the look of tunics...  Everyone's waist is at their belt, and everyone sans Yellow has some form of trim that's under it, which may make it look like their legs are short. 

Going off the thing that the legs should be as tall as the head and torso combined, then all of them have proper foot to waist leg ratio...
Except Brown, you're totally right...

in that case it might be how low-hanging the crotch on everyone's pants are.

if your balls hang low, if they dangle to-and-fro...~

Well...  Yeah that makes sense.

Messed with that, plus messed with Brown so that's she's properly proportioned.

Anything regarding the wave?

[MysteryMeat]

VASTLY improved! Great stuff! As for the wave, same crit as you just acted on, crotch be dangly yo. Also, it looks more like the kamina point (vvv) than a wave, would help to remove detail from it I think. Get rid of that line in the middle, and maybe try repositioning the pointer to be sorta like \||| instead of like |||| to create the distinction instead.

Pretty easy fix there. I feel like the arms might not be 100% proportionally accurate, though, but I'm not sure.

[MysteryMeat]

You're right! It's the upper arm, it's way too short compared to the forearm.
Remember, arms are divided very nearly in half at the elbow, you can see this for yourself by bending your arm up against itself to meet your hand at your shoulder.
It'd be an easy fix though, just try and shift the elbow up until it looks about equal.
Forearms ARE actually a bit shorter than the upper arm from shoulder to elbow, with the wrist coming about an inch short of the top of my shoulder personally as a point of measurement, but the hand is big enough that this wouldn't be noticeable to someone not well-versed in anatomy.

[Rosier]

Noted.  I knew it looked off.

Mostly proportional issues. Especially the leg to torso ratio MysteryMeat pointed out. Draw them without the tunic first and then add it otherwise you'll always have an issue.

Your heads are also very round, try giving them jaws. I didn't touch the colours but I'd highly suggest less contrast. Or at least to be consistent with the colour range. The shirt is far darker than the pants hair and skin.

Keep it up
