[Velour the Valor]

alright uh

where should i begin

perhaps i should start with the aspects i liked

first of all the character appears solid, there's a coherent structure you're pursuing here and that's invaluable. i think you've got quite a lot of potential, though im afraid it's latent - and that's only because you probably dedicate relatively little time or effort to drawing actual humans (what do i know though?)

the color pallette has this drab madness style to it, though despite being rather modest i personally like it and it reminds me of what i'd pick myself were i to draw this character

you seem to possess a comparatively good understanding of depth; the character feels three dimensional; i can literally see the skirt flutter and the folds slightly protruding from it. that's also a very important issue and i have faith in you in that regards

now the stuff i dont exactly enjoy, oh boy im gonna be picky..maybe pretentious either

ok first of all, the lighting doensn't make much sense to me. i can vaguely see an idea of a light source being in front of her, but some of the shadows show contradictory angles/inclinations of that light source. on the other hand, there are no shadows in places where they should be, such as on the ribbon right behind her head.

another issue; the textures. while i lauded your color choice i dislike the actual way the drawing is colored. the method you used is rather simple and somewhat reminds me of my own flawed way of doing it a few years so i dont see it as particularly culpable, but it'd probably do you good if you changed something about it. so my point is that, almost everything in the drawing has this gradient-like coloring, and thats not good. the surface of the skin, the kneesocks and the skin itself feel very akin to each other, as if they were made of the same material, which obviously makes no sense. one of the most egregious examples of this mistake ive seen is probably krinkels himself and his utterly incompetent coloring which makes the entire character blend into a blob made of the same clothing. concisely speaking, you need to differentiate the luminescence of each part of clothing. body part etc

the anatomy is solid but there are mistakes, for example the calves appear disproportionately longer than the thigh; i do realise the latter are covered with her skirt but it's still easily perceptible if your character is to have reasonable anatomy.

her feet look like they're sprawled, rather than being in this horizontal position when you're standing. i remember i used to take pictures of my own feet and use it as references when i was younger.

dont take the rating too personally

i like your drawing

i really do, i also think you're a good artist, and you could be really really good if you drew more.
im just harsh

i dont know the amount of time or effort involved in making this, so i cant tell what underlying skills you might have there.

im looking forward to seeing more from you.
