[color=deeppink][size=1]First one: Good proportions on the body, and there's nice attention to detail in the clothing, which is always a plus. However her right (well, technically my right, her left) arm seems a bit off. Plus - smudges make a picture look very unprofessional. It's fine if it's just a sketch, but if you're looking for genuine critique, try cleaning it up a bit. Kneadable erasers work wonders.

Second one: Not so good proportions. Her hairline is way too low, her eye is way too high (and rather big, even for anime/manga), and her nose is too big. Profiles are, in my opinion one of the hardest angles of a face to do, and take a lot of practice, keep trying, and maybe focus a little more on full front and 3-quarters views before trying to tackle the profile.

Keep up the good work. ^.^

well, the inuyasha one is great. its just that you might have brought his lower chin up too early. the further side of his face is a bit too straight for comfort. which gives him a geometric look and less relaxed and human like. (not that inuyahsa is even human)you did a excellant job on his neck, hair, side locks, ears and clothing. there's just a bit of some thing sort of not right with his eyes... maybe the closer one is a tad bit too small. also his mouth seems a bit too tense for his own sake. inuyasha may be ignorant, but im sure his not that bad. though its a very good drawing all and all. nice job on it. id give you a thumps up if only i had a thump... O.o joking

[B][COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Comment in Inuyasha pic: Okay, it looks great as a picture, but as Inuyasha, not quite as much. You have some talent, you just need to find your style. I think you (Like me) may not be quite as fan-art oriented, since you then have to copy someone else's style and can't be quite so loose. That's just what I see, anyway. I might be wrong.

Profile pic: The eye needs to be pulled down and forward a bit, and the face needs a little more depth rather than height before you reach the hairline. Not bad by any means, just mis-proportioned, as KarmaofChaos mentioed. Not bad, considering profiles are (In my opinion) the hardest things to do >.<

Full-body pic: Good. Really, I like that you pay close attention to the detail of the clothes and hair. I can't in good concious comment on anything else about it, since it seems quite smudged (It may be the paper, maybe you just didn't go back and fix it up.) Either way, it's a good pic, I just can't see it well enough to comment further.

You are very good as an artist. Keep it up![/FONT][/COLOR][/B]

[font=Times New Roman][color=indigo][size=2][font=Verdana][color=green][size=1]thanks for the comments!, for the inuyasha pic i notice the chin stand out more, the smudges i think is just the paper im gonna use a different type soon. Anyway this was my first 3/4 view drawing I need to work harder on it next time, most of my drawings are made in 15 minutes or from the free time I have at school, I have to concentrate better on my next one. Thanks for the tips!:beer:[/size][/color][/font]

[color=teal]EDIT:[/color] In my opinion I screwed up the face will i was going over it with a sharpie.[/size]
[size=2]So what do you all think? :D [/size]

I personally like the second one, he inuyasha one is nice, just not a whole lot of detail. The first one is grat also, nice detailing.

[COLOR=Plum]The first pic looks good. But some advice be careful on line depth. The second pic...umm the eyes are a little far up, lower the eyes and the pic will be better, again line depth. The Inuyasha pic was good and the line depth was good (i'm big on line depth) but it was a little blane other then that it was good. The reason i stress line depth is because my art teacher did it and i felt like doing it to them...hehe just joking! It's because at the bottom of your first pic you put at the bottom 'sorry for smudges' if you do light skteches it helps for easy erasing and it reduces the smudges. Just a little secret from artist to another :wave: [/COLOR]

The first one on the page seems good. But on the second one the eye is WAY to far up, Give the people foreheads o-o The 3rd one, The chin is to far out, It really sticks out for the rest of the Image, and there needs to be shading, No shading really takes away from the quality of the picture. Good job though! ^__^
