Chibi:

Fullbody: xXx

Okay, so I'm needed some critiquing on my art. ^^ (I know the coloring pretty much sucks. xD) But what do you think of it overall? Tell me exactly what you think, and be as harsh as you want! Help me be a better artist. ^^

Thanks for your time!

err I'll try but I'm not that great at critiquing, for your fullbody he seems abit too skinny, although I do like the detail you did on his ears, I think it would look better if you started to do more shading on it

I would try working more on his center of balance

I usually try drawing a 'skeleton' first. Like a circle/oval for head, followed by a spine line (curved toward mid back usually, if standing), shoulder, rib, and then hip placement followed by the limbs

try looking at yourself in the mirror and how you stand, do you lean more on one leg, etc.? and because he has wings, that'll also give you something to think about xD

For the human, I think the anatomy needs some adjustments. x:

Here's some 'body maps' that might be able to help you next time; (warning: nudity) Female Male

As for the chibi, I really can't give any critique for that since its.. well, a chibi. xD

I hope I helped, and Good Luck with your future pieces!

Giving Constructive Critism on the Chibi: Alright first I will compliment you on the style of eyes. They are very unique. Now for critique it definitely needs some shading. I would try CG shading. Knowing your way around your art program is another way to get better. What I have seen that makes chibis cute is maybe make their background a round circle and inside can be lots of graphics. (Download lots of photoshop brushes! ^_^) So, yes work on your anatomy and shading. Also, figure out what 'style' that you want. (I took your style so far as an anime style.)

chibi: well for one, she needs eyebrows, lol. i see you're trying to add some detail - that's good. but you should make it a bigger size if you do that, or make the lines less thick. also, the lines seem a bit messy. like you did them on paper, or something. you can still clean them up with photoshop if they come out like that. i'd say work on where you place clothing folds. they'll also be thinner than the actual lineart - or the bolder parts, whichever. the shading will generally take care of the folds.

also, in concepts of shading, you need to add more detail. since it's just flat colored, flat color isn't visually pleasing. it looks extremely incomplete. lineart or full colored pics could go off better than just flat colors. be sure to taper your lines for a better look. also, her hair is very.. sharp? it's too.. locked, and real hair is slightly wispy and not defined into chunks.

fullbody: yeaaah same thing with the hair - except apply the concept to fur. definitely needs shading. you can pull off the anatomy in this style, i must admit. so if you want to keep it like that, you may do so. needs more detail on the clothing folds, and generally everything else. the stripes wouldn't go in completely straight lines diagonally if there were clothing folds. just think of.. the american flag, i guess. unless it's on something completely flat, it'll have folds.

if you want critique on the anatomy, the side needs to be a bit more defined. the feet are angled incorrectly. the rips in the pants look unnatural - real pants rips, even the generic ones that are already included when you buy them for some stupid reason have strands of string hanging from the rip through the diameter of the rip. if that makes sense.

wings need more detail, though that's already known i think. they also look unnatural, and not.. feathery. there should be loose ends from the top of the wing to the bottom. the lines should be consistent. the wings are sketchy and the body lines are.. thick. even so, they are uneven.

if you want me to visually emphasize these things, i can do that.

anyhow, hopefully it helped and i wasn't any.. harsh. lol.
