Hey Ultra!
I like it too! I like how you did her bangs, and Her eyes are beautiful. That's one of my problems, I can never make the eyes look the same. But her arms look kinda funny. Maybe angle them out a little more.
All in all, I think she is very beautiful!

Hey UV! :D

Nice picture! She looks rather normal, which is pretty amazing! And Jungle's right... her bangs do look good and her eyes are very pretty.

Now, what you might want to do is tweak her arms. Her forearm looks a little bit too small, which is making it look strange. Also, the angle is too... rubbery looking, if that makes sense. Another thing you might want to do is put the eyes and the nose and mouth just a tad lower. It seems a bit too high for anime.

Hope that helps! :D

Thanks! :)

I think I'll redo the arms; I wasn't really feeling them either.

As for the face: DO YOU KNOW HOW FREAKING LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET IT LIKE THAT?!! lol jk XD

Seriously though, with the shading, and the eye match-ey-ness, there is no way on earth you are getting me to redo that. But I'll keep that in mind for any future projects.

Again, thanks for the compliments and advice! :)

loveness, ultraviolet

[Edit] I fixed the arms and posted it up. Any better?

Hey ultraviolet! KD here to review.


Hair:


Not too bad! I love her bangs. It would be nice if you could give her hair a sleekish look, or added highlights or more texture to her hair.

Face:


Good job on the anime eyes. I think I would lower her mouth on her face a bit, since it's way too high. I like the smile on her lips. Here's something to work on: try showing better expression through her eyes. If you covered her mouth with your hand, you wouldn't be able to tell she was smiling.

Arms & Legs (Well, um, thighs, basically):


To make her position more natural, I would bring her arms in closer to her side, and also make her arms thicker. Make her hips wider; she seems to be of that age.

Torso:

Thumbs up.

Overall:

Good work. Keep on drawing, hope I helped-

KD

Hello there, Ultraviolet!

Okay, you did pretty good on her. I have to say, I like the way you did her pants and face. The only issue I see is her head is way too big. Too big for real people, and definitively too big for Anime. For real people, your head should be able the same size across as your stomach, for Anime, it's sometimes smaller.

Otherwise though, she looks good.

Take that, Lumi.

Hello UV light!

This is definitely a nice start.


The Goods:

The pants and the shirt detail look really nice and very clean. The wrinkles in the shirt look especially nice and give it a lifelike touch.


The Not-So-Goods:

The downside is that the girls face looks a little big and her chin is very pointy and long. Also, her arms do seem very skinny but these are all very minor things.

Overall, this is very nice. My biggest recommendation would be to use a cleaner paper. Lined paper is always a little distracting.

Good luck!

Hello there I'm Flower and I will be reviewing for you today. Sorry in advance if I'm a bit snappy there is a huge fly on my screen and it's making me mad haha.

Anyway this is nice for a first time anime drawing.

Hair:
To be anime hair it just seems to stick to her scalp. Anime hair is wild and all over the place, and yours just seems to sit there. I would suggest that you make the lines of the bangs not connect to the rest of her hair. You'll have to look at a picture to know what I'm talking about.

Eyes:

Well these are somewhat general anime eyes. They seem to be pointed out a bit though, also the distance between them is a bit far. I like how you got them even though, I have trouble with this all the time.

Eyebrows:

Well one is pointed up and the other is straight. It makes it seem like the eyes are way different, because it plays different emotions.

Mouth:

The mouth is a bit to high, and it is also much to small, try making it longer.

Face shape:

Not to be rude (here is my snappiness) but it looks like a balloon. I think it is way to pointed at the end and way to fat at the top. You have to choose one or the other not both together.

Altogether Body:

I think that the shoulders are way to broad, and the arms need to be connected to her body. The shirt seems really stiff, I think it needs to look more real. I like the pants, except for the area where it cuts into a upside down triangle, the hole needs to be smaller.

Other than that this was a great start...it kinda reminds me of Dora though....oh well.


Pm me if you need me.

-Flower-
My reality comes to a close as I once again realize that you don't love me, and even if I love you with my everything you will never care.
