Needs criticism...

[PizzaMan911]

Well, its taken me 10 years to learn many styles of drawing and I just went 14 last December and I've still got a long road. Just asking for some criticism on my doodles. Here's one of Ino (naruto shippuden). Oh, and if you go to my page and see my art... those were from two years ago when I was new to photoshop so plz don't check them out. But if you look at my art from before, I've learned a lot thanks to some pals of mine who opened the world of anime to me.

Newbie artist here.

This is alright.

You need to darken one of either her ponytail, or everything but her ponytail, so you can tell them apart, instead of having a giant cluster of bad depth perception running down her back.
Make the ends of her hair as pointy as possible.

Her right arm is really weird starting from her elbows.
I'd think her arms would match direction, unless she were striking a pose.
Also, the nets on her right elbow are awkwardly spaced.

This isn't a bad drawing, but it's fan-art, the least respectable form of art.

You should try to create your own character off of someone you know, rather than seen.
Don't focus on looks, focus on character, personality.

The proportions are way off, you need to work on coloring inside the lines, and as with the above post the hair shouldn't all be one color and one shade of dark-black, try adding shading, maybe high-lights? but first work on proportions.

Watch out for criticism.

First of all, do not ever draw on lined paper. Next, your drawing is anatomically and proportionally incorrect. Because based on your drawing, I can clearly see that her right arm is a bit thin. Next is Her left shoulder is a bit broad for a female. Her neck looks like it was cut off. lol Her left ear is a little bit located too far down. I think you need to fix that. Her waist line seems to be small also.

About the colors, you should try to color your drawing with more complex coloring material. Crayons doesn't work. Unless you know how to use one. The shading needs work, though. And the hair looks solid. I recommend lighting on her hair.

But, I went to your profile and I saw youre a fellow Filipino! I've seen your art and it needs a bit more work.

I hope I didn't sound too pushy.

lol Not to be mean but this is probably referenced through Ino of Naruto. I can tell.

Looks like most of you already mentioned everything. Well, you seriously need to work on your anatomy. And I see there isn't much improvement from your old drawings to this one right here. 10 years? I think this isn't really true. Considering you were a mere child back then.

oh but it is... I started when I was 4. Drawing just stickmen back then, and as the years passed I started drawing cartoons and comics(crappy quality). I've only started anime last year so yes... I really ain't that good.

Fixed it for ya. No need to thank me.

As for your picture, I agree with the people above me, you need to work on anatomy. The most glaring error for me is the right arm. For some reason it is both farther away from the viewer and yet it is smaller than the left arm, which is closer to the viewer.

Oh man. You're like a second RockOn12. God bless the Art forum. Come on kid, please don't give advice unless you know what you're saying k?

Agreed with Fifty there... You can't photo-shop everything into perfection.
