You're getting increasingly more skillful at establishing structural differences in your faces and it really shows in this piece. I continue to marvel at how well you establish a fullness of volume in the hair without going too crazy with pencil strokes, coloring and shading.

Good job on this picture. Comparing it with the one from 2015, this is definitely a step up. The picture looks much better, and so does the expression. It has a much simpler feel to it, which is actually really good. Since drawings and cartoon figures tend to be exaggerations themselves, it is very difficult actually copying an expression from real life, without making it seem exaggerated. Regardless, good job on the over all picture. Now, I do have a few suggestion.

Some shading and lighting would really benefit the image. I can see a bit of shades here and there, but a few more would really bring the picture to life. Another thing would be not to be satisfied with just one shade. It can be fine at times, but using multiple darker colors for the shading would give a warmer and more diverse feel to the picture. Lighting also helps. Unlike shading, just a bit of lighting on the side would do fine. Shading and lighting gives more dimension, as if you can see around it. 

Regardless, it's still a good picture. Very well drawn. Keep it up!

Hello! I have come from ^V^

I'd like to start off by saying this is a really great piece! I love the contrast of her red hair and her blue top; it really draws the eyes in towards her face. This is especially helpful since it's one of the first places we tend to look in an art piece!

You seem to have a very good grasp of anatomy, too! Almost everything is placed correctly, however, I feel the shirt isn't warped correctly to her body. It's a bit off-center, as well as the logo. I also feel like the left eye got a bit more warped than the right; it looks a bit more drooped than the other. Of course, this could also be from her raising/lowering her brow, but from the angle of her face, it may seem like they both are the same height so that would be thrown off-balance.

Another thing I felt was a bit lacking was the shading. Of course, it's always fine to have just flat colors and no shading, but it appears that there are faint traces of it. You can faintly see it on the skin - such as the face - but almost nowhere else in the piece, especially the hair. The only "bold" shading is on her left brow, which looks a bit misplaced when you compare it to the almost no-shaded other aspects of the drawing. I believe if you had pushed the values a bit more, it could have made the piece a bit more cohesive

However, other than that I really like this piece and the character! Even though her hair is an unnatural shade of red, you still make it look believable with the style composition of the hair. The way you included subtle hints at the red and blue other places than the hair and shirt - such as the blue eyes and pinkish lips - really helped pull the piece together and not just slapping colors on there for effect. I feel you have a lot of potential and I can't wait to see what other amazing works you create! ^^

I hope this helps in some way! I also hope I didn't offend you in any way since that wasn't my intention ;u;

Hello from ProjectComment

All in all, I think this is an outstanding piece. For starters, I really like how the red hair contrasts with the blue on her top. It's a beautiful shade, and one I feel doesn't get used often, so kudos for giving it some love. I also admit the level of detailing you've drawn into her hair with the way it flows from the top of her head down the stage right of her face. The minimal shading on her neck also helps add a great sense of detail, showing more of the throat without having to draw it on with lines, and I also like how you shaded the very far stage right to convey her hair blocking out the light. I also like the detailing on the tabs (for lack of the correct word) that hold on her cape, and the way you conveyed the flow of it and how it sits around her neck.

And what makes it even better is just how much you've improved when you compare it to the one from 2015. I'm not saying that's a bad piece, but the "flaws" definitely show when compared to this one. For example, I feel on the old piece the face feels a little "wonky", as it comes across like it's too much to the stage right, more so than in a way one would look when facing the way she does. Here however, nothing like that. The face looks like it's positioned properly, and while I feel it may be lacking a little due to the lack of a wink, it's a minor thing when compared to just how much better the face looks. Plus I also really like how the smile came out. I also feel the colours look better here, especially how much brighter and more vibrant the red is when compared to the old one.

Normally when I submit a comment for ProjectComment, I try to write a "Positive/Negative/Positive" one, but if I'm honest, I can't think of any obvious flaws that I could point out to you, bar maybe how some parts of the colouring are darker than others, such as a line to the stage left of the logo on her chest. However, that is a minor thing at best, and something I do all too often when I colour with a marker. The only thing I could think of is the eyes, as I feel they look best when around the upper quarter or fifth is covered by them. I do feel the ones here look a little intense, like she's staring straight at me with unblinking eyes, which normally I feel gives the character a bit of a psychotic vibe. However, that doesn't come across like that at all to me, so bravo on also doing a great job on the eyes, despite drawing them in a way I feel can make the character come across unsettling.

Hi there! I'm from   
I think that this is a really nice piece of art. I've looked briefly through your gallery nd I must say, that I fell in love with your style of drawing faces, it's really nice! I love the way all of them have an expression.
Looking at the version from 2015 you added there.. well, you made a great improvement! Keep it up ^^
Even though I really love this piece, what I miss is depth. I would suggest playing with shadows more, don't be afraid of doing that. I think if you just shaded (is it called that way? ) some parts a bit more, it would give out a much better impression, mostly the hair and face part. Or the neck. I would either add more shadows or none at all because I find it disturbing, that there is actually a one shadow, no more.
I guess that is the only thing that is really appealing to me from the point of drawing itself, I don't like the "lines" made by the markers while coloring but I know it is really hard to get rid of them and it takes a lot of time.
About the logo, I personally would not make it bigger or anything, maybe just draw it from a slightly different angle
Lastly I would like to add, that I cannot stop looking into her eyes! I have no idea how you did that, but her eyes and look is amazing, even though I'd add colors as I said. 
That's probablu all I wanted to say, keep up the great work!
