there's a bit of bald skin showing through the left side (our left, her right) of her head. might wanna fix that.

another way to improve is to try drawing as much weird dynamic poses as possible, even if you're not satisfied at first. drawing people looking forward all the time with their shoulders straight and their arms at their side eventually becomes static and repetitive. try odd angles. try everything! it's fun.

roy, she did use layers, for the skin and the background anyway. the hair, eyes, and shirt were on foreground.

The layers aren't as complicated as they look. Or are you just too....lazy to use them? *stares* J/k, j/k. ^^ Seriously, here's how I do it. I do a rough layout on layer 0, and do lineart on layer 2. I erase the rough layout, and colorize it in layer 1. Afterwards, I do a background in layer 0, where the rough layout used to be. It comes together real nice. =3 That may have sounded obvious, but....you...weren't using the layers. o__o I didn't know what to do.

cool looks alot like your hand drawings

Dear furyofroy,

I WAS USING THE LAYERS!!!!!!

*gasps for breath*

I use the layers quite a lot, mind you. I had to combine them a lot, and in the end made the bg and the girl in two seperate layers. I wanted it to be perfect. =^.^= So I did different features in different layers so If I messed up I wouldn't mess up the rest of the drawing. ^_^ I dunno how you got that I wasn't using the layers. -.- They're my favorite tool.
