You need to add more contrast in your shading. Apparently, a lot of people can barely see it. ^^; But you do have the right idea. The hair usually casts a shadow, along with under the neck and arms... The rest kind of depends on the lighting.

kristine- You don't have any control over what people choose to draw. Deal with it.

This is the most problems that peole have with my picture. Oh well there is always a next time hehe.

Good,but what happened to him?

!awesome! the background looks pretty and the colors are cute. the fingers are a liiittle bit weird but it doesn't matter. and i like that heart thingy on her neck- a necklace ? 8-----D

(>.<) Aw, man! I've always wanted a necklace like that!..And I want a shirt like that! This is cute!

wow! that's really cute! =3

neither. i think it looks like a toilet paper roll that someone used as a stress ball.

It took you 3min to draw this.

or some chess stuff, the concept is good.

Hands are satan...
But are very handy :D (Oh, I am so punny.)
I hardly ever draw them >_>;;

Lol Xiau you draw hands just fine ^_^

i never NEED to draw hands.. serpents.. rawer

Sequinn: You misplet a ton of words. I think you meant "I don't like this much, it is stupid because there are fat people in it."

Spelling so people can understand you doesn't take that much effort.

I have to agree with punky. It does not take ANY effort just to look over your commant, so people can ACCTUALLY read it.
The reason there is fat people is because there is a certain style called chibi. In chibi you draw "fat people".

she has dyslexia. even if she did look over it, she couldnt read it properly. it would look backwards and jumbled up to her. for her its takes effort. :)
i like the way you made it look like a photo :)

that looks like the guy from "Fredie Got Fingered",a very upsetting (for us skaters) and hillarious movie

haha thats a funny movie =P i have it on dvd. LETS GO SEW SOME...SOCCER BALLS! ._. and yes this looks kind of like him =) good job

No you're all wrong..It looks like..STROKER!! (from stroker and hoop lol)

You made him so creepy!~

I didn't say anything about a blur tool being used, I'm simply stating that I see blur, and it doesn't look great to me. I don't know what tool made it and I quite frankly don't care about the opacity or anything of the sort. Looking at the picture as a whole, the blurry areas stand out too much and to me, it disturbs the flow of the picture. I still like it a lot though, and nothing is ever perfect (I sound like a professional douche by now) but I think that's what makes all art great. <3 axil :P

ok, I'll go WAY out on a limb here,..I like it, but I don't understand why it's Elite. It's good, but not 'oh my God' good.

'cause the elite bastards can post anything they want. :D they're pwnge so it doesn't matter much (MUCH). <3

Sure just send me a memo when you need help.

its like you took one of kristines fonts and made it 3d. thats really cool. thanks. i seen your other graf works on your user board. all impressive works.
