I know I'm not much of an artist, but this is where I'm going to be posting pictures that I draw based on my novel "A Winter Memory". This first one is a picture of the MC, Crystal, in the winter forest. Enjoy ^_^

It is ok.
I liked the simplicity of the character but the plants on the ground and the pond(?) in the foreground looked pretty rusehd. I know you say you're not much of a drawing but this could have been pretty good if you had taken your time over those two elements.

It looks a bt like a rough sketch but I think the shape of things go quite nicely. And that red splodge on the hem of her dress is blood, right?

I think Crystal's poise is too strong. In the story you portray her as weakened by her time in the forest and the picture of her should reflect that. Also, the hair doesn't look tangled and she needs a face. The background is quite nice though and the crimson stain certainly stands out.

Not bad. The one thing that I noticed were the lines on the ground. They are fine to show hills and bumps and such, but you continued them across the whole page. One other thing was her hair was way back, like a really old lady, but that is fine since therre is no face. Over all it was good though...those are just some things I noticed.

I don't really get the "winter" feeling from this? I know (or at least believe strongly) that this is supposed to be snow, but if I didn't know that already I would have no idea. Through in a little more detail and a little less "this curve is a lake and this curve in the snow" for a more realistic look.

It looks so cold! I like how it's simple. The way you colored the background makes it look a little sloppy; I'd try to color it in evenly without gaps. The stone wall in the back is cool. I like how you colored the rocks in different colors. If the red on her dress is blood, I think it should be darker.

I can't tell what she's approaching. It looks sort of like a frozen pool, and sort of like a boulder. Maybe you could use some shading to clarify?

Haha, now I want to read your story. xD

It's kinda rough but I like the concept. What's with the splotch of red?

is simple and nice(:
is that blood there?
but i don't really feel the "winter" theme.
maybe you would like to work on that?

I think it matches the atmosphere of the scene well. I thought her dress should be a little more form fitting, and her pose a little more fluidic and odd, as you described it in your story.

Her hair is very nice. I very much like the stone wall and trees. And the crimson stain sticks out perfectly.

I like the simplicity of this

I also think that you've drawn the charecter in a cool way

Nice picture :]

I love the fact that she doen't have a face, like one Japanese or something artist, but if you took away that rounded part from the corner it'll really look better.

I also think the use of black-and-white portray the dullness of winter.
