Description Okay, the last one was supposed to get this out of my system, buuuut... *checks* Nope, still Avatarded.

I was doodling/oogling Katara in class, and decided to let Aang join in, too. >> Since I didn't have a ref with me for Katara's water tribe attire, I just made something completely random up. I COULD change it now...buuuut this shows her off way more. XD

Please feel free to critique/redline! That's why I'm uploading it. x__x It worked really well last time, soooo.

I can't critique this that much, artistically--you're a few miles above me. XD Except that Katara's head looks like it might be a little small. There's also something...mannish about it. A little more hair might help with that.



I wonder if she should be glancing at him, too...double-meaning picture. Maybe not, but it's all your call.

Excellent work with the folds--looking forward to this picture, very much!

I am feeling rather lazy right now so I'll type this out for you. If you need me to redline, I can do it, but maybe just typing it out will work *is really lazy today*

Be sure to make both of their upper arms to their elbows a little longer. When elbows are laid to your side, they usually measure to your belly button. Katara could use a little more of a forehead (from the top of the head to the chin, the halfway point is where your eyebrows it which leaves a LOT of room for a forehead, unless you want Katara to not have the personality part of her brain ). You can probably emphasize the thumb side of Katara's left hand and her right hand could be a little bit bigger in size. Aang's eyes look a little oddly placed (kinda lopsided?) and you might play around with that to make sure they lie on the same guideline together, even though one is closed while the other is open.

Great job on the hands this time, much improved from the last sketch. Also great job on the torsos You really "beefed" up on it! Get it? Beef up? Bodybuilding?.....I'll go slap myself now.

HAHAHA BEEFED UP. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. ...XD Sorry, hyper. It did help that these poses are a lot simpler than the previous ones.

And I see what you mean about the upper arms/Katara's forehead and hands; I'll definitely squeeze those changes in before I ink. Thanks a lot for the input! *cling* ^__^

No prob If I weren't so damn lazy I'd do Avatar fanart too, but I guess I'm living vicariously through you by helping give critiques and redlines instead of actually drawing my own

Haha, that works, too! XD I really don't have the time to be doing these (I absolutely should be studying or drawing commissions), but I just can't seem to get Avatar out of my system. D: *shakes fist* Why must it be so inspiring?!

I love Aang's expression. It'd never really show something like this in the show, so I'm glad you uploaded it.

Haha, definitely. XD They're adorable younger, but I feel like a perv oogling a 12- and 14-year-old. >__>;; I have enough issues without adding that to the list!
