I'm trying to improve my HA-making skills. My current one was made yesterday; it would be great to get critiqued on it!

I can see that you've tried to work out a colour scheme, but it just looks very awkward. It's quite top-heavy and unbalanced. I'd suggest swapping out the rainyday top for a skirt, or maybe . You could try getting rid of the gray hair and using instead. For the feet, consider gold or black simplistic flats. And chances are it would look better with different eyes and mouth; try cache and lilsmile?

Overall, just try to keep things evenly spread out. c:

The hair and the big sweater is annoying me a little. :C Maybe try using black hair instead. The emo wigs would work fine. Also the green's sort of throwing the HA off a bit. If you want to use green, maybe not make it too big? Just a normal under-shirt type of thing would look fine. Also little bits of green, like green hair pin or a bit of green on the feet. The foot layering is a bit awkward, try something different. Other than that, good job on your HA making skills so far. I'm sure in the future you're going to be an AMAZING HA maker. (:

Okay, thanks, guys. I'll probably try again tomorrow (too late right now :P) and see if I can work out something better. Thanks for your tips!

EDIT: Okay, I changed it up a bit. I got rid of the gold and light gray. I went with the emo wig, but the gray streaked one to match the new pants. How is it now?

Oh, and in the meantime I designed another HA. Could I please get some advice on this one too?
