I was considering animating it. Thoughts? (Just realized she has no fangs. Gotta add those.)} Edit: Only upon submitting it do I realise how terrible the lower half of her hair is. |

| Imo there is not enough depth, very little shading, even a side view of something has shaded areas |

Nice start!
Think about where your light source is, and then think about how the light should affect the face. Example 
Your hair is also very messy atm, I would suggest bringing it down to three colours so you can get the basic shading down, and then maybe expand your palette if you want to add more detail (but you could even make it quite detailed with only three colours). I hope you finish this and submit to the challenge! |

Oh, okay! Thank you all a bunch. I tried to have the lightsource from the top, but I guess it didn't work out. xD
Thank you for the edit! I'll go back and compare the two. |

I like this version much better, even though I goof'd on the ear. xD Thanks for the edit, ADrawingMan! |
