 I can use only five colours, and this is being very hard. I need special help with the hair, please. |

Hello Loop,
Wow, 5 colors.
I like the way you have done the shadow behind the left ear. (her right)
The other ear would not be visible, but you might show a tip of it; but then the tip should be higher.
As for the hair.
There where hair meets it is getting darker.
So the start of the tail should be much darker.
Personally I would work with all 5 colors everywhere. So skin color
as a light shade.
A quick edit (hope you don't mind)
 Best regards from
M.E.

Thanks for the crits, M.E. and that edit really inspired me. The ear tip wasn't looking good when I added it. It just looked like a horn =o  Now I'm not really sure about what pallete should I use~ |

Hello Loop,
Much better.
The darks are looking good.
Another point you should be looking at is that
currently the tail is pixeled the way it
would look from the side not the half-front.
While some of the lines would follow to the side; most of them
should go to the back.
I tried to edit it a little bit; unfortunately it still isn't correct
so you would need to look at it yourself
 I hope you get the point.
The stand is very dynamic which is great. And you should
definitely keep that. But at the moment she is 'falling'.
I have rudely put in a standing stick. I'm sorry.
Also a bit of the shoulder is put in by me; maybe too much, but
I think something should be there.
Maybe you can also play a little bit with the casting shadow
from the hair on the righthand side (her left).
Some dark next to the eye is something that I would put in.
All in all very nicely done with only 5 colors! You are definitely
on the right track!
 Kind regards from
M.E.

Update. I found out I still had one color left, so I added one betwen the black and the red.  -Fixed hair. -Fixed shoulder area. -edited a lot of the shading to add an extra color. I'm still thinking about what I should do about the "faling" problem And I think adding cast shadows would mess up the shading with such a limited pallete. Thanks for the crits again, M.E. you're really helping me out. |

Hello Loop,
This is looking better and better.
Please watch out with the dithering.
It can look pixeled
 But maybe thisis intentional; in case it is I would appl
y a little more dithering to the face as well.
There is a 'glow' on the body wich is a bit
too much in the same direction.
I'm curious if you plan to add some legs to
the little lady?
Is the format fixed or can there be a little
more breathing space at the top?
Also watch the ribbon. It has a form that
is similar to the largest form you already have.
(Din's hair-tale) It competes a bit too much for
the attention.
I would also (re)move the trial pointing to her
breasts
 It is great to see that you are improving this!
I find it very rewarding to comment on it when
you are so enthousiastic !
Best regards from
M.E.
