give me the link to your DA

DA?

Deviant Art

ah, I dont know much about inuyasha but I have seen the character around in the internet. and this is a really good drawing compared to the others I have seen.
your coloring is something I could praise for quite some time. considering that it was hand colored. hm... it looks like watercolors... although it also somewhat looks like waterbased pencils. ^^

the hips are the main thing that seem odd to me, and I agree that they have to be wider, maybe not as much as the shoulders, but still, wider. and the only thing that I see wrong with the arms is that the right one seems to be longer because the elbow was drawn significantly lower than the elbow on the left hand. other than that the arms are quite well done.

I dont much like the color of the tanktop, lime green clothing has never appealed to me, but Im not sure what kind of clothing Kagome is used to wearing so I wont even go too deep into that. ^^ inuyasha is an old series after all, and anime characters in old series always wear the craziest things.

James Bender will you flip out on this guy to? >>5078

>The original does look much better than the scan of a color copy so naturally some of the elements like the jewel's glow would look a bit off.

Fair enough.

>However I get the feeling your suggestion that the glow around her is unnatural is more of a personal preference rather than attempting to be constructive and explain why you think it looks unnatural.

I wasn't trying to be nasty. The glow looks unnatural. Perhaps it IS from an odd scan problem, but it DOES look strange. There are random dark dots all around it and the outermost part of the glow is darkly outlined instead of dispersing naturally.

>Her hands are out of frame because she's opening two sliding doors so I don't see the worth in declaring it unprofessional

Sliding doors? they don't look like sliding doors, so yes, it looks like you just b-sed your way out of drawing hands.

I like the coloring but the whole thing overall looks very stiff and unnatural.

Keep practicing maybe?

Oh wow... iichan really is different.. All he got on 4chan was flames. But this is a copy, isn't it?
Anyway, her right eye is too far out to the side, her torso has an odd shape, and the hips and belt are flat as a paper. You have to make the lines go around the body and define it. Her hips are too narrow for a girl too.
Like 5055 says, the colors are quite horrible. Red, green and pink do not match. The shading on her arms make them look flat as well, and they are a bit too thin, especially her right lower arm.
Use photo reference for the body next time, manga reference for the face, if you have to.

All right first off everyone on 4chan is an ass me included.

Second This a post to James Bender I don't think you tried too but you came off as a 13 year old kid wanting praise for an image instead of valid criticism and when you got criticized you felt the need to lash out.

Now on to my critique of the drawing;

The coloring is well executed but the colors where poorly chosen, Find a website with a color wheel and find out a little about color theory.

the head and shoulders are fine as well as the chest and stomach. The hips are VERY thin, She would have to have her pelvis bones broken to be that thin.

Her arms are to short, Its a very typical problem with drawings thats not readably apparent, it just gives you the feeling that something is off but you can't quite put you finger on it.

Well this is certainly more productive. I truly appreciate the pointers. Though it is hard to convey with text I'd like to say with honesty that there are a few things about the image that were intentional. It was mentioned that her arms being a bit too thin or short. I did use a picture reference of a live subject so Kagome's arms appear exactly as the subject in the reference pic. My shading sometimes doesn't always seem accurate according to believable light sourcing so it may look flat as it has been suggested. I don't really worry about it too much. I also used an exact head reference of Kagome's head from a screen capture so her eyes seem fine to me considering I chose it from three different examples. I'll not argue about her hips, perhaps they are too thin for her. However, it is my first piece of Kagome and I'm still weak in areas of anatomy so the next one may show improvement. I'm not concerned about people thinking I'm lazy or a bad artist because I didn't draw her hands in plain view whether I decided to hide them behind sliding doors or not. You are right about hands being difficult to draw but it's the artist's choice to show them or not. As I said before, I appreciate the pointers and will do my best to utilize them in future works.

I think if you want critiques you should draw a lot more and work on your anatomy.

Also write a sentence I can understand and drop the smilies.

Also how old are you 8?

pls comment!!

Alright, write a full sentence that is not a sentence fragment with correct spelling and punctuation.

Everything looks fine other than her feet.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd fag up your lineart with a rushed coloring job.

Her face is sort of distorted. Try to put a center line on her head so you can fix her chin. It's a smidge off. Other than that, awesome job!

Please? ;_;

Yaoi villians are lame

Pinky looks like a thumb and is to big hand and arm are in a stiff pose and I hate the eyes.

sorry

Eyes are way better now.

Hand is still fucked up.

"Hand pose" is pretty vague.
Do you have a pic of what you're talking about? Right now it just looks like facepalm.

For advice, I'd say it looks like you drew the body and arm after you drew the head and hand. That'll usually yield jacked up results.

Nice drawing that needs a little life.

Your issue with the lineart is that the light source appears to be in multiple places. Pick a spot where the light is coming from and darken the lines accordingly.

Pic for referance.

Thanks!

I'm trying to keep the image plain because I'm going to be putting crazy patterns behind each thing a la jigoku shoujo, but the advice about light is really helpful. Thanks! <3

Well post the finished line art here as a thanks! I like the image and might try and color it later.

Also I think a softer water color effect would work better for this image, but to each his or her own.

first time using painter :T

had to edit with teh gimp to take out all the ugly grayness that digital cameras leave on the pictures.

yup, most of the drawing is good... but the hands are looking weird... I know drawing hands is hard, so keep practicing on them.
also, the clothing seems to be too undefined try to make the folds stand out more and don't separate the fold into several lines. just keep the line going, it'll look better.

other than that it seems to be pretty good.
