Description
i tried to keep the girl looking young..around 8 or so...but she just looks like she has short arms ahahaha cries
and a very mature face
my 5 years amounts to this.
SOoooo I think I have gotten lazy. I havent been drawing passionately as I use to. But...
I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for tagging along my journey as a artist. (if i dare call myself that)

If you have problems with giving a character a particular age (like I do) perhaps you could find this useful!
a simple yet very efficent and interesting tutorial UvU! Congratulations on your improvement darling!

Aww~ 
On another note, if you want to make her look young, I think you can try scooting up her nose a little? Might help with the childish look.

Yeah! It's been so long!
I did realize when I finished I made her face wayy mature haha.
Maybe I should have made her grow five years time too? XD -extends her arms and legs- GROWTH SPURTT AWYEAH stretch marks galore.

You've definitely improved! Especially in the anatomy.
A few little things I could perhaps point out though. She does look like she's wearing make-up, which may not help with the childish look. This reference picture might help! birdsistersstock.deviantart.co… . I also think the contrast could be stronger, but that might be personal taste.

Thank you. Yes! I completely agree with you, her face is too mature for her tiny petite body and age.
Oh, nice stock image. Will keep that mind. Though, I guess it is hard for me to define makeup and make-up less with a anime style since it kind of flows inbetween? XD Perhaps not giving her dark eyelashes would have helped, since she is indeed a red head.
The contrast could be stronger! Perhaps beside the picture beside of it is so strong it washes out the right picture? XD

Aw, sorry for the late reply.
I know a page that would help you heaps when it comes to drawing children! pinterest.com/characterdesigh/…
About the contrast, I think somewhere in between the old painting and the new would work well. Balance is best when in doubt. Or though if you're aiming for a more 'realism' approach, then contrast is definitely the best direction to go. I think that if you're going for a dreamy look, then instead of lowering the contrast, make the colours lighter? I've never tried it, but reference is always good.

I'm also sorry for the late reply. XD I guess we are even?

Hi! I stumbled across this and I couldn't resist commenting
While the drawing from 2008 is more dramatic with coloring, the soft feel of the newest drawing pulls me in more. You may call it lazy, but I have to disagree. The softer, more subtle lines look overall more realistic and believable.
I can also see an improvement in the flow of the hair and fabric
Fantastic work

For the lazy part, although I was a bit lazy towards the end of this picture, I do mean lazy in general as I haven't been drawing as much as I should. XD
Thank you so much for your comment and nice words. Wow, nice people here.

Oh my god, has it really been 5 year since, holy shit. I have to say, since knowing you for so many years now, you've improved so much, yeh. Even if you think you've gotten 'lazier' you still manage to impress me with the things you draw, hehe.
