[WIP][CC] Chibi Commission

If you feel the piece is done, then move on to your next! The more you draw the better you'll get, it's very likely you could be like and even surpass the people on this website if you work at it.

Nah, I got to work on this piece until I think it'd be good enough for people to enjoy. Plus I've never finished anything I put on this site for critique before. I figured this would be the first.

[MysteryMeat]

Well, you're certainly doing well! Study what other people have done to edit it, and tweak it yourself to see what looks good!
And remember, criticism isn't bad! Think of it like having someone spot you while you do heavy lifting exercises, you're getting better and stronger and they're there to help guide you and keep you going!

I, for one, am actually amazed at you. Not because of your ability to make pixel art, but by your dedication. Personally, I never really get anything done, because I become so lazy/busy. I seldom finish a piece because I grow tired of it or I become occupied by something else.

I salute you for the dedication to finishing a piece. Even if your thread attains more than 50 replies.

Uggghhh. I'm sorry I haven't replied in like a week. I've been kinda sick and still am.

Just to clarify on whats wrong, I need to:
1. Make her head not go to the side and instead give her a neck
2. Make corrections to the arms and legs and give her an actual shoulder

Is there anything I'm missing? Sorry, my brains kinda fried right now.

I think I took way too much out of PPD's edit. I tried mixing the two poses together and I added some other stuff. The guy who requested me make his character also asked other people to do the same, so now I have more reference pics to work off.

Looking way better! Keep up the excellent work!
Try to round out the edges of her face some with the darker shade, you don't have to redraw anything to accomplish that so much as just shading the very outer-edges of the lines to achieve a rounder look!

A more in-depth guide on the concept can be found here:

Is this better?

[MysteryMeat]

Getting there! The leftside cheek still feels a bit too straight, but once that's rounded out i think she should be ready to go!

How's this?
