Something random, because I wanted to try a new technique with the lineart and light. All in all a quick 5 hours picture. as you figured I'm also trying to improve my workspeed
 And it's also a good opportunity to try that new critic system thingy. go ahead and bash, after all it was only a practice, but I want to hear what you think I should improve, anything that come to your mind, as long as you're not rude. Comments
 i love the skin tone the way u colour ^^. and the hair looks uber awesome
 awesome job! -- :3  Bon, comme je suis une francophone acharnée, je vais oublier le spécial critique ci-haut et je vais t'assener ma critique ici, en français!
Moi, il n'y a qu'une chose qui m'agace. En fait, elle m'a frappé de loin et de près, c'est encore plus évident ...pour moi! Ton gars, là, il louche!! On dirait qu'il cherche une mouche sur son nez d'un oeil et qu'il nous regarde de l'autre! Ce n'est pas une illusion d'optique et ta soeur a le même problème avec ses dessins. Mais à part ça, c'est génial! Ton ciel est magnifique - un bleu à se perdre dedans - et j'aime la couleur des yeux de ton mec; j'ai un faible pour la couleur noisette! Tes ombres et lumières sont toujours aussi géniaux et j'aime le teint *santé* que tu donnes à tes persos. -- I speak french, but don't beat me! |

I'm having a couple problems with the structure of his face. I'm guessing that you were going for anime proportions, but the trouble is that anime doesn't always look right once you've started adding in more realistic details, like the way you've formed his nose and mouth. I think this piece would actually benefit a lot from having his eyes shrunk down a bit, and his nose and mouth enlarged to bring him slightly closer to realistic proportions. Not entirely realistic, but just a bit to get his face out of that "uncomfortable" zone.
You may also want to add a tiny bit of a curve to the bridge of his nose. It's looking just a little too straight and narrow to me right now, especially the bottom part.
The shading you've done on his hair is really nice, especially the top where the light is hitting it most strongly. I'd suggest just "loosening" his hair up a little - a couple of brush strokes outside of the lines where his hair is blowing to the left would really help to make it feel more like hair. Hair does fall into chunks like you have it right now, but there's always those few little strands that end up going everywhere, you know?
Your shading is looking pretty good, I'm liking that you went in with a light green brush on his right cheek (our left) and added in some highlights there. I'd suggest doing the same thing underneath his jaw. Things are getting kind of dark and over saturated there for such a bright day. You might also want to bring some blue into his shadows, to match him up to the background just a little bit more.
Nice work, keep it up!
