How is this? CLICK

Much better, thank you! Is this the final copy that I can save?

Yup, thanks for ordering :)

[edit]

Is this pose ok? Or is it too similar to the reference you showed me? CLICK

I see that you pinged me, but the edit to your post hasn't shown up yet. Maybe make it in a new post?

Eesh subetaaa, whyyy lol

It's pretty similar, but that's okay. It's a good pose. :D Is there a way to make their fingertips touching, but still be able to separate them on their own? Also, she needs to be shorter than that, her hips in particular are too high. Thanks!

CLICK - Is this height difference ok, or is she shorter? As for the fingers, if they're just touching I can do that, but if you want them intertwined or something, I won't be able to separate them into separate pics.

That's fine. And just touching is fine!

Here's the sketch of them together, let me know what you think. Clothing patterns and such will be added when I color - CLICK

Zuri looks great. Zain's face needs to look...harsher? Still looking at Zuri lovingly, but maybe more angular? I'm not sure exactly. Also, can you actually part his hair on his left since that's the side we can see? Thanks.

Ok, I'll fix his hair and I can make his face more angular once I start shading

[edit]

Sorry for the multiple pings, here's the version with the hair flipped. I tried to make the lineart a bit sharper for his face shape but like I said before, I'll make it more angular once I shade him.

Here's the trade when you're ready - Trade Lot

I’m not seeing a link in your post?

Does his face look angular enough? CLICK

I think it will look right once he has his facial hair.

Alrighty, I added the facial hair - CLICK

That’s probably good. Could you also give him a 5 o’clock shadow where his beard and mustache aren’t.

Like so? CLICK

it would also need to be under his lip and more on his cheeks. And could you make it less pronounced? More like an actual shadow?

CLICK - Sorry, I have no idea how 5 oclock shadows work lol if that's not the shape you want, can you grab me a reference

That's probably good. I may want it a little less pronounced still, but is it okay if I let you know at the end when I see the whole picture?
