Hello, I'm from
Velika Looks like a really kick ass character. Her clothes look awesome and her scythe looks totally badass I especially love the green diamond on it. She has such beautiful and flowing hair, simply gorgeous. She also has a great expression like she is cold and is a cold hearted killer. I also really like the scar on her cheek its really interesting and cool. I also like how you drew her pose, like she is ready to attack.
However there are a few things that could be worked on a little. Like her shirt, is a little stiff it could use some more wrinkles, to make it look more flowing. You also need to add more shading, like on the scythe, her hair does need some more shadows and the skirt, her arms, and her boots.
You have an awesome, totally cool character. Keep up the wonderful work!!

Hi! I found this in !
First of all I also have to say that overall your character expresses well what you intended by the description, so nothing is to be changed on the outfit, I think! Overall you made the proportions right, that's a good point! The lineart is also ok, it looks right.
The negative points are mainly technical, the biggest issue is that you made the colo in a way that makes the character look flat instead of having a volume. Adding more shading would help, but look out, try to think what form you shade (round forms or sharp ones, like the blade) because they should not be shaded in the same way. You could then do more variations, especially to the clothes' wrinkles. The design is cool so all you should do is to look at references as to how to make the materials more 3D. Keep up the good job!

I will look into finding references/tutorials on shading different surfaces

Hi ! I'm here with ProjectComment !
Sooo... First, the positive points.
Her outfit is so badass, it perfectly shows her personality ! I like her skirt, which flies in the air like a sort of cloak. It gives some intensity to the character, as if she was a hero or something. Moreover, it leaves her boots uncovered. This is great, because they're awesome
Then, the pose is pretty well done. The legs'position adds to the feeling of superiority. She seems determined, as her stare shows it (because the expression is well done 
Now, the points which can be improved.
The weapon is cool, with the diamond at the top and the giant blade. But, if I follow your character's story, this is a government's soldier, right ? She could have a weapon much more sophisticated... It would prevent the viewer to think of her as a wild person. As for the general appearance, just making a long hair with a straight end and a structured fringe shows she takes care of her appearance, and that she is aware her superiors would like to see her dressed in a certain way. Do you understand ?
Then, technically, the coloring could be improved a little. Making more shadows could be interesting to see the darker face of the character, for instance. However, the lineart is great. Nothing to improve in that.
I like your character. She is interesting, with a lot of potential. What was she created for ? Some story, comic ? I would like to know !

Thank-you~
As for your ideas about the weapon and hair, I understand what you mean, but she's not so much a soldier, more like a 'grim reaper' sort of figure, which is why I wanted a scythe and the hair partially covering her face.
I will try adding extra shadowing in the future, although I'll probably have to look into getting more coloured pencils or trying a different method of colouring
And thanks again! I made her for a story that I have some ideas floating around for (not a whole lot of detail yet), and I hope to make it into a graphic novel series one day.

You're welcome !
Hum... I understand ! You wanted some reaper impression.... Maybe adding a hood, then ? Or just making some shadows on her face. But in my opinion, there is a difference between a reaper and a wild, savage killer... The reaper can be so much more elegant, haha !
What do you use to colour ? Simple coloured pencils ? Because... I know it can be demotivating to see supplies' prices. But, I assure you that you can do great things with cheap stuff.
You can also try to mix techniques... Using some coloured pastels is what I use to make stronger colours, in larger spots. Because colouring with coloured pencils can leave some weird effects
It would be a good idea to make a graphic novel with her... Even with a simple story, if it is your first one. I would read it, for sure

Okay, I'll try a hood (if I can draw one xD ).
I use coloured pencils, which I believe are of a decent quality, but I am interested in trying out some different materials and techniques 
And thanks

Check out the tutorials, or the reference pics (even on Google Images) ! This is really helpful, and it shows all the little details you can't think of by yourself.
Haha !
No prob ! Your art has a lot of potential. Moreover, I think that it is less difficult to improve when you have people that support you... So, we'll see what you do !

Alright, I'll do that!
And thank-you so much again

in other words, don't mess with her. Still how sad that she should be raised thus.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much, and she is the main antagonist, and in short part of a corrupt government, so that's why.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could think of someone that might be able to change that and give her a new start.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right, well I made her like that because she's meant to be evil.

This is a really interesting looking character. You have some nice little hints of shading helping to define areas of the character, around the knee caps, on her chest even around her ankles. I particularly like the beginnings of creases and folds in the fabric. If I could make one suggestion to help you take it to the next level, think about volumes, planes and how the light would hit them. Always decide where your main light source is (top left, top right, light from below like a candle or fire etc.). Once you are clear where that light is coming from you can play with shapes in things like hair and flowing skirts. Practice drawing crumpled towels with harsh side lighting to get a feel for the folds and shadows vs highlights. Using a grey paper with charcoal and white chalk is a great way to get a strong feel for highlights, shadows and forms and volumes. Keep it up, it's looking good and you obviously have some great ideas to bring to life.

Well, I can definitely see some obvious improvement! And the backstory is really, really interesting!
(I actually wish I could get you to make a character for me!)

Aww thanks~
I could try if you want, but it'd probably take me a while since I'm just starting to get back into drawing stuff after a long break >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem.
I wasn't trying to pressure you into doing it or anything! (Although I'd be pretty grateful!)
I would have to draw you something in return though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well how about I let you know when I get back in the habit of drawing more regularly and we can discuss it then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure! Whenever you're ready, so will I.
And, please, don't feel pressured to do it because I asked you to; I don't want to cause you any unnecessary stress.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds good!
And don't worry about it~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, I'll try not to stress myself about stressing you out. (Pretty ironic, huh?)
