yes, but there's a better finished lineart of her in my gallery. also a semi coloured version. her hair is black, with hints fo blue, and so are her eyes.

well... I'm pretty sure the light sources are fine.

I dunno.. I think if you shade the little area between her neck and her chest . Even then i'm still not tha sure about anything else.

Since you're using photoshop you might find this useful: [link]

It's what I've started using and you can get some stunning effects with it. Although it takes practice and patience (Two things I don't like doing. ).

Anyway, I quite like the skin although it could definitely be improved. I hope the link above might be able to help you with that.

Well could do with some highlights at the least and if you want to go more detailed I'd add a darker shadow tone as well as another highlight tone.

CryptRose In reply to TheeForsakenOne [2008-08-10 21:26:59 +0000 UTC]

I've tried highlights, but i must be misplacing them, cuz they always look weird... and i dont want to make it much more detailed, because this is a simple lineart (expect for the robe) and i dont want it to look incoherent.

TheeForsakenOne In reply to CryptRose [2008-08-10 21:31:18 +0000 UTC]

Fair enough. It looks like the light is coming from the right so that's where I'd concentrate your highlighting. Usually putting a little bit on the nose and the top of the lip as well as the eyebrows is a good starting point -- Just make sure to blend it in.
