Okay, so aside from the hairshine that you've acknowledged, it's looking REALLY good.
Like seriously, over the course of this thread you've improved shit tons y'know... I even like how you've given it a thicker outline, I love things like that.
Although I have to ask, why doesn't she have that metal visor thing on?

Oh, thanks for the comments, I'm glad I've been making some progress (thank the lord) and the reason she doesn't have the visor thing on is because of two reasons...
I don't want people to think I can't draw anime eyes, which is really important because you can't have everyone wearing something over their eyes.
This might sound a bit bad, but in the night these thoughts keep popping into my head, I don't work on it at all through the day, but it just develops anyways... I've basically already have a somewhat sequel to dryads, I've stored away as much as I can so I could finish dryads first though, and in the sequel, she loses her godly abilities and doesn't need the visor anymore...
Thank you and have a nice day!

Personally, I think the thicker outline looks a little off and a little unnecessary. :x To me, when it comes to anime-styled drawings, bigger eyes = more childish. So unless she's supposed to be like.. 10, I suggest making them smaller. As for the hair highlights/"hairshine", have you tried looking at references? There's plenty out there. Just google some anime girl references and you should be good to go.
Yeah, I know about the eyes and stuff, but I didn't really have much of an idea of what I was drawing so I just drew it, I'm not sure on how old the character really is, but it seems to linger from either like 40, or around the late teens, and I guess i was going for a more, cartoony style... :huh:
I've already tried google and that stuff, I'm just not getting any patterns from the pictures to implement to my art...
Tnhak you and hvae a ncie day!

Your coloring is very soft and blended, but still minimal, like the cel-shading in most anime or cartoons. The thing to keep in mind is that they use a single color that contrasts sharply with the base color, making it pop. You have shades that are very similar blended together, and it only serves to make the picture more muddied.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to say.
Also, the iris of her eye is HUGE. I would make them quite a bit smaller, so she can have some white in her eye as well.

So something like this?
I don't like the face structure at all, and the eyes bother me. Also I tried using the tutorial... It helped a bit, but it got a bit hard to follow when I'm using a different program x.x I'm not getting how to make the iris smaller, I just learned one way to draw the eyes, how could I incorporate more white into the eyes?

My guess on what Moe is trying is to say, is to make the irises smaller so you can actually add the whites of her eyes in there.
On a somewhat similar note, her eyes could stand to be a ~bit~ smaller overall. Like I've said, usually big eyes = more childlike. That aside, her head looks rather bulbous in the back this time. Try, uh, "flattening" it out. Her facial structure is rather off, but I can't really describe how to fix it in words.. so.. I'll try to show you, instead, along with a couple of other things I noticed needed tweaking/fixing. (Her right breast was kinda sagging more than her left, and she's missing an ear.)
Excuse the sloppy edits. I'm using my mouse instead of my tablet.

First of all, I'm really impressed to see how you improved compared to your earliest drawing. Your definitely getting on the right track as far as techniques. :smile: Well done and keep up the good work!
Now for the feedback.
Her head is really shaped weird and it looks like she has a big dent in it.
Let me ref. a skull here:

See how the skull is shaped? in the utmost simple of forms, it's basically a circle and a blunt edge triangle. Okay, not the best of terms but keeping this mind set might help you visualize the human head.
Did some correction doodles.
Not the best corrections, but I hope it will give you an idea. A good thing to remember when it comes to proportions of the face is the the eyes are 1/2 of a head and lie right in the middle from the chin to the tip of your head. As for the body, her right shoulder (our left) is too short and stunted given the angle it is at.
I know you probably don't want to hear it, but doing some drawing studies on anatomy will really help you out in the long run. It does not necessarily mean you have to draw realism, but rather study and practice drawing proportions and shapes of the human body. Trust me when I say this, it will help you learn much faster and will help you draw people rather than drawing how you think people look like.
I can tell you from experience that after actually taking the time to study anatomy, my own work improved tremendously in such a short time whereas it took years before then to get where I was.
Keep up the good work! :smile:

I see. Thanks for the corrections, I've considered drawing the basic shapes of the human body, but I haven't really gotten around to it... My friend asked me to draw this on short notice so I just drew it... I'll try the studies of anatomy thing. But I'm not sure when I'll have the time to get to it because over here, school is just starting in a few days and I need to get in some work.
Thank you and have a nice day!
Thank you and have a nice day!
First attempt at a more realistic style... It's not bad... but not good either. Any pointers anyone?
I got inspired by my new drawing book... So I learned a few things more.
I'm also going to try and get my hands on a tablet... anyone willing to recommend one for around 100 dollars US?
Thank you and have a nice day!
