This picture is absolutely awesome! I really love the style you utilize and the expression of complete contentment on her face 'cuz I know how much catnip affects cats. The way the cat ears poke through her hair looks really clean and neatly done and her hair is absolutely fantastic! I love the way that you drew her face and those lips are really something. The little shine on her cheek was also a nice touch. I also love when people wear fingerless gloves (when done right) because it automatically makes them 10% cooler in my book.
I like it but I feel as though you could've been less conservative with her clothing: a strong pattern/texture or unique shape could've brought a bit more attention to the rest of her body. And the background could also use a bit more shades of brown, maybe make it even lighter in the center.
Really admirable job though, so, congrats on making such a successful composition!

Many thanks for this comment! (and sorry for the later answer ^^'...)
Aah, I understand what you mean about the clothing; I usually pick the clothes in my brain's library, but maybe it's time I research new styles ; P.
And thanks too for the suggestion about the background, I'll try it out to see how it turns out = ).
Thanks again, have a nice day!

No problem!
I didn't mean to nitpick but a good critique needs its positives and negatives both. I still loved the picture regardless!
Hope you have a nice day too!

No worries, I like to hear negative things too because it's the occasion to know where my flaws lay and to know what to practice next = ). Thanks again ; )!

Greetings and salute!
Overall... "Good and cute" is not enough But also so neat!
The lineart, and how you color it is so good and lovely!
It's pleasant to stare to it for a long time, seriously!
Okay, here comes suddenly in my mind about usability, this art could be used on advertisement poster!
Like cafe...
It could be suit to be used even for starbu*ks, for me...
Why?
First because the "Story" at that art, What I got is about a catnip woman who enjoy the brew...
Second How you apply it, from the pose, expression, even the color you used! Amazing implementation!
Third, How neat you finish it also the bonus point!
I can't talk much especially about technique, shading, lighting, since it fit...
I mean, not a big problem... Great!
For photoshop retouch, What I see is curiousity, since I found no problem on this...
What I suggest is just remember what you done on your next art,
It's clear and neat to see! Keep that on your mind!

Hello!
Wow, many thanks for the long comment = )! I didn't think about using it as an ad at the time of conceptualisation, but I'm glad you think it is fit for it.
I'll keep the positive aspects you pointed out in mind for my next works ; ).
Thanks again = )!

She's so meower fucking cute. ~
For my part, who love the glamour & details, I think this will be very good if on her face, you do more details on her lips (a little more of volume & gloss), and for her eyes more lashes with a bit length. But it's only suggestions.
She's already beautiful, nice colors and really good style.
Continue the good work.

Thank you for the critique! Yes, lips should definitely be worked on; it's already on my practice list ; D. I'll keep in mind your suggestions next time I open my sketchbook = ).

Your shading is done amazingly! I can see the time you put into this piece. ^_^

Lovely design and choice of colors! The touch up has been done fairly well. The design as well is very clear and the hair is wonderful, displaying paths of which show how the hair flows. Her anatomy and pose is wonderful and the folds are nicely done. The only thing in the anatomy is the upper arm looks a little too long in relation to the forearm. It is just a slight alteration but other than that, just lovely.
As mainly a digital artist with substantial knowledge of Photoshop, the only problem I see that you have is with the grain. There are not many options to help with that, other than using a soft brush and lightly shading while using the eyedropper tool to keep the color while reducing the grain. It is mainly noticeable in larger sections of the darker shades, such as the shirt. However, I find I like the grain as it gives the texture of the paper and shows it is traditional work. If it is something you want to get rid of, then there are options to consider, but I like it.

Hi! Thank you a lot for the critique!
Haha, you're right, I hadn't noticed that the upper arm was too long. I'll pay more attention to it next time. As for the grain, I noticed the paper I use gave a particular texture to my copic paintings, but I usually quite like it = ). However, I didn't know there was something I could do against it, that's interesting to know for the future.
Thanks again for the remarks, I'll keep them in mind = )!

Coming to you from
I think you have a really strong drawing here. Great use of the copic markers. The drawing is colored really expertly with some really right on shading. The colors are earthy and it really gives a feeling of warmth to the drawing. Really very lovely.
