Spirited Away

Erm... not totally sure if i've already posted this, because i post it on other forums too.... Comments would be helpful and i think her arm is a bit skinny.

Hi! I love Spirited Away, so I thought I'd stop in and see this.
Her arm is definitely a bit skinny. Okay, more than a bit, it looks almost like a toothpick coming out of her shirt.

I don't know if you drew this directly from a reference, but right now she looks more like a Rugrat (I can't recall which one, or if I'm even thinking of the right cartoon) than she looks like Chihiro. Her face seems a little thin and should be rounder.

Other than that, there are two things I would suggest that can really only be improved upon by making another drawing. First, I'd try shading. I can tell that you tried a little on her hair with the eraser, but in the colors, try using darker colored pencils (I think that's what you used) and give her more depth! Second, I would try drawing her in a new pose. Maybe that's not possible for you, but it might be a good learning experience to see what things you struggle with when you don't draw a pose from a reference. That's not to say you can't have a reference, but just don't copy the pose!

In any case, this is pretty good! I especially like her eyes, though one seems to be missing eyelashes. Still, they convey more emotion than I could ever manage in drawing eyes!

I've never seen Spirited Away, so I thought I'd do a quick image search, and all things considered, I think the picture looks pretty nice! You've got good, clean shading and awesome outlines. One thing that bothers me is that this picture looks a bit distorted. I mean, really distorted, like she's being squished up against a wall. I don't know if you actually drew her like this or if it's just a problem with your computer, but just be sure to prevent it future circumstances. Looking at a picture of who you're drawing really helps too. If you're drawing a character you made up, then just look at a basic human face to study proportions. If you want to fix this photo, though, you could crop it a bit and change the dimensions to something a little more square. Overall, I think it was some nice work.

Hey, Kaedee here again! I have only one critique:
She looks a little more mature than she should be, because of her face, which should be much wider.
Besides that, good job! Keep up the awesome work-

Hi Carly(if that what your name is),
I like the drawing and I think you have showed us the perfect innocence of the little girl in her face.I have two problems:
1. The angle at which she is standing is weird. I mean she looks as if she is floating. I don't know how to put it but you need to make her body posture erect.
2.Colour pencils are good but had you tried paints for this picture, the effect would have been more beautiful.
Hop I helped a bit!

ok and i'm not called carly lol. it was a program i used to watch, and now i don't. i wish to change my username. i'd correct the drawing if i could, but i coloured it in pencils and went over the outline in pen. >.<

Love Spirited Away!

I think your drawing is very well done, but maybe a simple background (Simple, keep in mind!)?

Thanky you.
