Hey, constructive criticism isn't all bad.
It's the basic foundation on which you can rely on to help you improve. You know what parts you have to improve and how to if you get some good criticism.
I'm the type that likes constructive criticism but aprecciates a compliment once in a while.

BTW here's some for you (everyone else gets a free tip ^_~):

As you've heard countless times, if you spend more time on your pics you will get a better end result. You can perfect your art and all that practice makes you improve.
And the lineart. Who could forget the lineart. You chose to use thin harsh lines, but smooth lineart is also very easy, especially in lascaux.
First, you turn on the anti-alias option in the brush size and tool select box where you can also change the shape of the brush. Choose the perfect circle (but not the blurry one) and you're ready to draw. Once that's done, TAh-DA! Lineart. It MAY be a little messy, so if you smooth it out using the same technique with the eraser tool it will smoothen out a bit.
The blur tool is nice in coloring matters, but if you overuse it you will just make a big mess.
Layers, which I notice you aren't using, will do wonders. With them you can draw the lineart on one layer, coloring on another, additional writing/details on another and a background in the lowest one. It's highly recommended that the lineart go on top, coloring in the middle, and others below that.
You'll find them on the left side of the applet, and since the applet has built in help, I don't need to explain much, do I? ^___^;;

I'm not saying your art is bad, because it's a heck of a lot better than mine was when I started out. I'm sorry if I've explained stuff you already know about/use/thoroughly understand but hey, I'm just trying to help. =3 This is the longest comment I have ever typed O_o.... And concluding this comment, thus eventually you will become a better artist than me and I will just be staring in envy -_-;;...

Lark (Dec 19, 2003)

WHOA!!!! LONG COMMENT!!!!!! haha..... yeah yeah...... i think it looks pretty good......but, like everyone else said, just work on it a bit longer.... and adding a background would look nicer. but it still looks pretty good.

Lalaland (Dec 19, 2003)

Juna (Dec 19, 2003)

I think it looks quite nice with the background, Try using the mask tool to get closer to ur lines.. makes for a cleaner line art. Btw i love how her hair flows, next time try playing around with smaller lines to add light detail ^^

tappie_chan (Dec 19, 2003)

yay! i like the BG, it reminds me of mario or yoshi's island.

Fin_beast (Dec 19, 2003)

Much better than your others Lalaland. :D
But remember you can still spend alot more time on your drawings.
If you are worried about racking up the bill on your internet line then remember you can go online, start your drawing and then go offline. Then when you want to upload...Just go online and hit send! :D

Hotaru-chan (Dec 20, 2003)

This is MUCH better than your other ones, it's beautiful!! I luv how her hair matches her outfit ^___^

Knockoff (Dec 20, 2003)

Hmm yes. It looks a lot better.
2 things though, she has really weird hands/arms and She needs to go on a diet.

Childlike_Vampire (Dec 20, 2003)

No diet! Chubby es sexy! Besides...she isn't even that chubby she just has *gasp* hips! I like the pose tho, veddy spiffy.

Gothic_Otaku (Dec 20, 2003)

Either she's fat, or the bellybutton is too low.....and if that's the case, the skirt is practically falling off! O.O

Lalaland (Dec 20, 2003)
