Description
IT'S DONE! This took me three days to complete, and I am SO happy with it!
(Except for the green soul she can burn in hell).
This year has been so incredible for me. I began the year thinking that it would take me forever to see any kind of progress in my art, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I have improved with my anatomy so much (especially with hands!), I got pretty good with shading and light effects, and I've been bolder with poses and backgrounds. I never would have thought that, in only a year, I would be creating a piece as big as this.
Also, digital art! YAY! At first I wasn't sure if I should redo the piece digitally or traditionally, but in the end I decided to do digital because not only is it another representation of how far I've come, but also I felt like it gave me more room to be more creative and daring with my piece. And I have to say, I'm very pleased with my choice.
As mentioned in the title, this is for a contest hosted by the AMAZING ! She is so sweet and her art is fantastic! Definitely check out her profile if you get the chance, and DEFINITELY consider entering the contest! The prizes are AWESOME (Yes, they include points!). The deadline for the contest is January 31st, so you definitely have time! I hope to see some of your entries!
Also, don't hesitate to give me feedback! I may have improved a lot, but I still have a long way to go. My anatomy still is lacking, and I still need to work on hair, shading, and expressions. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you!
Love you guys!

Woah, great improvement 
To be honest - good choice with going digitally - if you want to stick with that medium 
As for advice: the same thing as I'm trying to learn - when you draw think how it would work psychically, in the real world. Like movement or wind affecting clothes and hair or that different fabric have a different weight. Or even if somebody would get to this pose naturally or have to do it intentionally
Keep good work and good luck in the contest

The rendering has improved a great deal, along with the anatomy and composition. Your characters don't look squashed at the edge of the canvas anymore.
I have to say, it's hard to believe that this improvement happened in less than a year! You have clearly worked hard.
My advice for hair is to remember that hair is a 3-Dimensional form. It typically falls in 'bangs' (lots of hair strands grouped together). When influenced by wind or movement the hair will typically all follow the same direction as it gets pulled in the direction of the wind, or against the motion of the character. In fact, hair and clothing is a fantastic way to show movement. My advice is to look at paintings of dancers and you'll see what I mean
I hope this helps and great job at your drawing

Thank you so much! And the advice is really helpful! I have a lot of trouble with clothes and hair, so I’ll be sure to follow your advice.

Wow, youve improved a lot!
Especially in drawing, the poses look a lot more interesting and the anatomy is better than before 
And yeah, digital art definitely gives you more options and its nice that you've tried to remake it digitally ^^
Good luck for the contest too <3

I just wanted to stop by and say the amount you've improved is incredible! The poses in your new piece are much more dynamic and bold, and they give better insight into each of the character's personalities >w< you should be really proud of how far you've come! I wish you the best of luck in the contest!

wow what an improvement for less than a year!!! great job buddy! you can really be proud ^^
i like that you've really become much more bold with the poses and expressions especially, that's important. and as for constructive advice for the future -- try to study how clothes fit the human body by watching people around you in everyday life now, i think that's a good next skill to try to work out

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like it.
And also thanks for the advice! I have a lot of trouble with clothes in general, so I’ll be sure keep your words in mind when I do future projects.

Wow you've improved a dramatic amount in less than a year!!! I think what stands out the most is the poses and the colors! Of course the colors are much more vibrant digitally but it shows that you thought about the lighting and shading ! I also love the overall placement of the characters as well! Good luck to you too!

I really love the way you've done poses in the second picture, and the way you positioned them. Working digitally seems to be a good way for you to create, it looks incredible, I especially love the souls glow
Again, good luck
