Heh, it's weird how things one should be capable of understanding on his own, have these motivational repercussions when told by someone else. (if that makes sense)

Thanks :)

 Well don't be discouraged! =D you're a great and capable artist. A few tweaks here and there and this piece will be as lovely as it should be =)

Good luck! =D

 Fwoo, that's pretty demoralizing indeed :p

But you're right guys, there seems to be a lot of work left to do here..

Now I'm kind of ashamed of having posted this, so I'll try to see if I can fix some things before even asking for help on the forums :$

Thanks anyway!

I like the idea, it's cute but there are a few flaws with this piece. for isntance the distinction between the girl and the boy was a little difficult for me to spot. at first i didn't know what was happening, i thought the boy was groping the girl or something..

AutumnSpire, although harsh and blunt is right about a few things 

I think this piece deserves a little more attention to make it truly shine.

Try taking it to the WIP forum where i and a few others would gladly critique it for you. =)

Your lines are choppy and jagged, I can spot pillow-shaded and banded areas all over, your anatomy is lacking, and your colors are bland and too low on contrast (Not to mention, used inefficiently.) You might want to go back review some of the basics for your next piece. I hope this helps.
