Description
*cackles madly*I know, I know I'm late. I haven't been feeling well lately so I postponed working on this drawing for too long, but it was worth it!
FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!
Sketch: 2 Hours
Outline: 5.5 Hours
Coloring: 23 Hours
Mood: Tired =_=.....
But oh so happy! I introduce my best, and then I mean absolutely best drawing ever! XD! Some of the highlighting and shading is wrong (the face should have been a LOT darker, but that just looked downright ugly). Heck, what am I talking about. *hugs the drawing*
I'll probably alter a few minor things here and there, but for now, I
it.For people putting me on devwatch: Please keep in mind my drawings aren't usually this detailed. Don't expect me to make another one like this anytime soon. This is the best drawing I have made sofar.

Wow, the amount of detail is incredible! The only problem I have with it is that I can't get enough of the picture, it's colors and design...

eerie yet alluring...I like the hair, the colors really mix well with each other. I like the way you accesorized the hat. thats pretty tight. good detailing on the dress. the little mischievious smirk on her face fits in with the atmoosphere, kinda like "I'm gonna start something, but how 'bout some candy first?"
Nice job.

As for giving critiques, I've tried it often but apparently I sound too aggressive when I give them =_=, if I'm to judge the angry messages I get in return anyway.

OMG! woah i LOVE it!! Its amazing, the detail, the shading the colouring OMG WOAH!!!

Very whimsicle. I think it looks a little cartoony though. Maybe less heavy line in some areas like the trees would help and more detailing and shading. Also, the proportion sometimes feels a bit off in areas like the face and arms. A little more shading around the pumpkins would have been nice too, to suggest more of a glow.
I love the small details you put into this. The stitching on the satchels and the ribbons and flairs on the dress are a nice touch. I also like the little extras in there like the spiderweb and the little animals. The lantern hanging formt he hat works very well too and I like the way the moon turned out. The minamalist approach to the moon seems to work very nicely.

Critiques are always appreciated, thanks
On it being cartoony: agreed. Next time I plan to color the lines according the surface they surround. This usually cuts back on the cartoony look ^^. And I HATE the shading around the pumpkins!

Yeah, things with internal light sources are a pain to shade and color. But you did a very nice job on it anyways. I just think they need a little bit more glow and some deeper shadows and they would be fine.
And I always like to critique good work. Critique helps out both people, because then you can start to learn how to analyize your own stuff better and improve it as well as help out someone else.

And the colouring is very nice.

Fan-freaking-tastical! Awesome whimsical illo; lotsa neat detail that keeps your eyes moving. I really dig the one-eyed cat guy! You captured a very cool mood with the lighting and coloring.
The only possible critique I could give would be to somehow separate the stuff in the foreground (figures, etc.) with the background. Right now it all kinda jumbles together in your eye. Maybe subdue the background, make it less distinct or use a slightly different color pallette. The stuff in the foreground will pop right out at you.
Very cool piece.

Thanks for the constructive comment
I don't plan on changing it anymore (since it already has been accepted as a print), but it is true I could have made the creatures, witch and weird plants more distinct. Though I really like the color pallette I used ^^.

I really dig the colors you chose as well. As far as foreground/background layering, I sometimes struggle with this as well. A trick I use sometimes (for future reference) is maybe keep that same fat dynamic outline for your characters, and then use a thinner whispy line (or remove it completely) for the background, knowwhutimean?
Cool. Still love the illo!

O_o... I didn't use any outlines for the background though... cept for the witches cabin...
